Chasing Pavement

A couple of days ago I went to San Marcos to do a little shopping at the outlet malls. Surprisingly enough I wasn't in the mood to shop, but loved walking around finding inspiration and beautiful things that make me smile. I strolled into Neiman Marcus Last Call and camped out in the shoe department. I feel in love with these three styles.

I couldn't resist these L.A.M.B. heels. I think these were the last pair I tried on. Everything about these screams chic, downtown lady. I would keep my outfit neutral in order to make the shoes and legs the standout component.

These Marni platform heels are adorable. I saw the colors from a mile away and knew it was love. They are a little 70s inspired and were so incredibly comfortable.... that, or I'm just so used to heels now in the city that anything goes!

These were my favorite shoes of the day. Another pair by L.A.M.B. that was taunting me with the thought of purchasing them for New Years Eve. So fabulous with a 5+ inch pin thin heel, grey distressed leather, key hole at the toe, and black elastic at the ankle. Would be the perfect finishing touch for my NYE options, but I'll just have to find something else! While I love and adore these shoes, I can imagine that they would quickly become the shoes I wear out when I'm going to be sitting all night. While I was confident in strutting around in the Marni pair before, now I'm a tad hesitant to boast in this L.A.M.B. number.

First of Spring 2010 Shows: L.A.M.B.

The first of the shows are posted!!! This is always one of my favorite times of the whole year. I love seeing how designers are reinterpreting old looks and trends into a new and fresh ways. One of my favorite collections that has showed is Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. line. It's quintessential Gwen style combined with hits from the 80's bananarama and the popular rocker chic trend.

I love this jumper. The volume is spot on, the color is always flattering, and the silhouette is perfection. Still in line with the current trend, but reworking a bit to add something new.

Still up in the air on the acid washed jeans. Desperate for a pair but don't know how flattering they are for thunder thighs! Loves the cuff hem on this pair and the studded suspenders are exactly what I want now.

Leather is something that Gwen does flawlessly in her collection. Each seasons she shows leather pieces with such strong details...The line always presents a reason to buy another leather piece without replacing a previous purchase. Each item has it's own distinct look and feel, and this season's white seems utterly appropriate. Looking forward to the early spring for this leather jacket!

I'm going bananas for the hair style of the show. Again, I love that designers are thinking about an entire image and not falling anywhere short when it comes to the coiff. Exactly how I've been styling my hair but with a little more funk and edge...a look I will be trying this weekend!
