The Pink Crossbody Bag

One of the items high on my summer wishlist is a bright pink cross body bag. Crossbody bags in general make for the perfect no-fuss summer bags, you just sling them across your torso and you're good to go for city wandering or park strolls! They leave your hands completely free for shopping or ice cream cones. But adding a bold punch of color - and in this case, hot pink - makes it even better!

I'm yet to find my perfect bag - I love the Tory Burch, Michael Kors and Rebecca Minkoff ones above, but I'm not sure they fit my budget for a fun time summer bag. There are also a few more affordable options available, but none that quite fit what I'm looking for. The hunt continues! 

Metallic Silver Pumps

KORS Michael Kors Adrielle / Zara Laminated Heel with Ankle Strap

Stuart Weitzman Naughty / Schutz Shen Metallic Sandals / J.Crew Everly Mirror Metallic Pump

ASOS POPULATE Pointed Heel / Jimmy Choo Anouk

I've developed a bit of an obsession lately with metallic silver pumps - I keep seeing them pop up throughout the blogosphere and they catch my eye every single time! They're neutral enough to go with almost anything, yet they still make a major statement! 

If I had my choice of the above, I'd definitely go with the J.Crew Everly pumps - they have the perfect pointed toe, and stand at a very wearable 3.5 inches (I've mentioned before how happy I am to see a rise in super stylish pumps under 4" tall!) I love nothing more than a true classic with a modern twist! 

I should also mention that two of the above pairs ring in at a very affordable $50! (and go significantly up from there, but a girl can dream, no?)

Which pair is your favorite? Will you be sporting this trend this summer?

On The Hunt - Nude Shoes

Good morning! I'm taking a little break from my London photos to talk about one of the biggest things on my spring/summer wishlist - a nude strappy heeled sandal! I've actually been looking for the perfect pair for 2 years now - back in 2010 I bought a pair that I loved (and if you'd like to see a blast from blogger past, you can check out my post about them here - not only does this post make me miss those shoes, it also makes me miss my long hair, sun tan, and obviously smaller frame...) but I wore those shoes to death that summer, and they are definitely worn & tired. 

Every summer I vow to find a replacement, but it's yet to happen. Above is a collection that could possibly take their place (I'm looking at you, Rebecca Minkoff beauties!) and maybe this will be the year that I find the perfect pair! 

Desperately Craving Spring

Zara White V-neck Tee / Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Sunshine Perfume / J.Crew Teeny Edie Purse / Rebecca Minkoff Patricia Heels / Zara Fuchsia Skirt / Tory Burch Elandia iPhone Case / Revlon Lip Butter (4 fun new shades for summer!) / Ray-Ban Blue Mirrored Aviators / Kate Spade Live Color Fully Perfume / Rebecca Minkoff Floral Mini Mac / Zara Nude Mid-Heel Pointed Pumps

I am so. ready. for. spring! We've had little bits of it peek through but I am ready for full blown sunshine - let's bring on the bare legs, bright pinks, pretty florals, spring scents and nude shoes! (Seriously, can we have a  moment for how amazing those Rebecca Minkoff heeled sandals are? They are the most perfect spring shoe I can imagine right now!)

I also want to say a great big thank you for all of your sweet birthday notes you left me here on the blog, twitter and instagram this past week! You definitely know how to make a girl's day! I hope you all have a lovely weekend! xo!
