if you want to talk about a look that is stylish, cool, and very put together (but doesn’t require a lot of effort), then jeans and pointy-toe pumps are the move. a few years ago i never would have said this… if you had asked me my thoughts on pointed pumps i probably would have laughed, but my how things have changed. if you’re going for something classic, this style of shoes can help you get there. now they may not be the most comfortable, depending on height and the padding on the sole, but at least you know that your jeans will feel good. so throw on a jean shirt, a white button down or an oversized sweater, slip on your favorite jeans, and slide into your pumps and you’re good to go. these are some of my favorite affordable options: nine west tatiana, sam edelman dea, bcbgeneration treasure and these are some you can lust after: christian louboutin pigalle folies and gianvito rossi roma.

tomorrow i’ll be heading to san francisco (pictures to come!), but before i left i wanted to put up a quick post. i can vouch for the romper on the bottom when i say it’s one of the best purchases i’ve made. i’ve already worn it more than i should, and i’ve had it for a few weeks. if you happen to be a foodie, heritage is for you; it’s one of my favorite cookbooks thanks to its colorful imagery and delicious recipes. in terms of clothing and accessories, the shoes are a bit wild but that’s what makes them fun. aviators are a classic and i’ll always have them on (maybe black ones in the future), but for now i’ll be sticking with my gold/dark gray-green pair that everyone seems to have. lastly, rebecca minkoff may have created the perfect work bag (and dogeared’s pouch would fit nicely with it).

clutch, d.i.y., diamonds, diy, fashion, sam edelman, spikes, stripes and sequins, studded clutch, studs

i am an absolute fanatic of diy projects. the blog stripes and sequins has served as a serious inspiration for me, and has given me the push to do more diy projects. if i see something i love and know i can make, and for a lot less money, i jump at the chance to make it. this happened recently with sam edelman’s holmby clutch. as soon as i saw it i fell in love and knew i had to try making it, and i couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

supplies:

basic leather clutch (i got it from forever 21) // studs, spikes and diamonds (browsed around etsy) // krazy glue // rubber gloves (to protect hands from glue)

1. begin by applying krazy glue to the bottoms of the studs and apply directly to the clutch, holding in place for thirty seconds. be careful not to get glue on your fingers! if you do rub nail polish remover on the glue until the bonds dissolve and then rinse in water.

2. continue with the other spikes and diamonds, and apply all over the flap. as you go along you can figure out your own pattern, but i just tried to balance all the different studs, spikes and diamonds with each other.

keep it coral

A great dress is sometimes hard to find, but I’ve found it in this Zara dress. The coral color is gorgeous in person, the cut is great, and I love the material. There’s a body con dress underneath the chiffon layer and a gorgeous open back with a gold clasp at the neck. The cleavage area has a v-neck and then a chiffon v-neck layering on top so not too much is exposed! I added some gold spiked cuffs with pastel rhinestones from Zara, gold Sam Edelman gladiators, and some bronzed eye makeup.
