24/7 statement shoes
Friday, March 31
A statement shoe canstep up an outfit--but don't overlook the way it can elevate your everyday jeans. Of course, it needs to be comfy too, and not too OTT. Thankfully, there are some just-right spring styles out there for the taking. Among my faves: this feather-tufted Prada, this knotted Chloe mule, this sleek MR by Man Repeller, this ruffled Isabel Marant, this re-imagined Nine West Mary Jane, this leopard printed ankle-strap J.Crew, and this bow-embellished Alexandre Birman.

Mixing up my stripes just got easier and chicer with this Anthropologie shirt dress.

I'm not the type to let it all hang out, which is why I'm a fan of this spring's only slightly skin-baring tops. Strategically designed to show just the tiniest--but arguably sexiest--bit of skin, these blouses make a fresh statement, plus provide the perfect amount of ventilation. I particularly love these by Tome (above), Cheap Monday, Tibi, Asos, Maison Mayle, Banana Republic, Milly, and Madewell.

Calling all Isabel Marant lovers: The Outnet just received a motherlode of past season pieces, many of them up to 70% off! My picks include this super wearable black wrap dress, this buckle-trimmed spring-ready jacket, this cotton peplum top, these lace-up sandals, this embroidered mini, this silk print skirt, and these strappy leather heels.

Since I wear my hair up 24/7/365, I'm obsessively on the hunt for a new accessory that will shake things up a bit. It can be as simple a re-purposed ribbon (above), an everyday-worthy leather cuff (also in this color), a tortoise shell ponytail holder or a metal-trimmed elastic. But then again it's fun to go all out with something statement-y, like this elegant pearl-studded pin, this vibrant hair band, this party-ready crystal comb and this quartz hair slide.
