sportswear isn’t only for the gym.

top: Forever 21. sports bra: Forever 21. shorts: Repurposed. shoes: hidden wedges via eBay. sunglasses: Marc Jacobs.

The craze this year has been the hidden wedge sneaker. As soon as I spotted the first few out and about in my trip to NYC, I had to have them. But obviously not at the original price. So my first stop was eBay about 2 months ago looking for at least a look a like. I got this great pair (that I’m wearing above) for about 60 bucks, but I was still on the lookout for another pair. Steve Madden then came out with an identical pair to the Isabel Marant’s but sold out in seconds! But now, I give you the day of your dreams. (At least, the heavens opened up and angels began to sing when I found these)

A hidden wedge sneaker for $30! Yes, you read that right. THIRTY DOLLARS! Thank you Target! Could anything be wrong with such a thing? I don’t think so! Well, only the fact that you have to wait a few weeks because they’re on backorder… but that’s no worry for me. I think it’s worth the wait. I’ve already ordered the silver pair.

What about you? Are you going to jump in on the hidden wedge train? Or have you already done so?

Splurge VS Steal: Celine Bi Cabas Tote

splurge vs steal: celine bi cabas tote

Switched things up a bit this weekend. I added a “Super Splurge” into the mix. I don’t know about you, but I’ve had my eye on the Celine Bi Cabas for quite some time. I just couldn’t really wrap my brain around the fact that it would cost me my arm and leg for a simple color block tote. So I went on the hunt to satisfy the liking and not to make my wallet scream again…..and did I find what I was looking for. I love the color combinations in the Rebecca Minkoff Toki, but the price tag on the Forever 21 tote is doing the trick for me. It’s multi-functional as a beach tote and perfect as a big ole purse to use during the day.

You can find all three bags here:

Celine , Rebecca Minkoff , Forever 21

But wait…. There’s an extra addition to the mix! After posting this over the weekend I found a SUPER STEAL. You can find an almost identical Faux Leather Shopper at Old Navy. It’s now on sale for $18. (C’mon, you know you can’t beat a price tag like that!) I’m actually loving the color combination on this bag. It will be perfect for any outfit. Go on, go for it. You deserve it.

….You’re welcome.

When Belts Become Bowties.

top: Thrift Find (I found a similar look at ASOS). jeans: Forever 21. heels: Topshop (sold out, but I’ve got my eye on other neon pairs here and here). purse: Zara. sunglasses: Forever 21 (similar).

Agh the fun times when belts get stolen from leopard jumpsuits (from the one I wore here) and become bow ties. It was a wild idea, but I went with it and loved every single bit of androgyny. However, I couldn’t let the crazy train take a stop there at my neck. I let it ride all the way down south of my ankles. The site of lucite and neon bring up the thought that this heel has distinct similarity to that of the infamous “dancer” heels. But oh, are these so far from it. It’s hard to say I haven’t been able to wear these many times, but I still glance at them from a distance in my closet and wonder when these babies will be taken out on the town. But alas, they’ve made their grand entrance. I think by now, you can clearly see the love obsession I have for shoes. I love ’em, what more can I say? Nothing.
