Leia said...

I've been eyeing fit flops but have no idea whether or not they work, or - an even greater dilemma - what to wear them with! ;)

Please let us know if they work for you :)

Brigadeiro said...

Love Gossip Girl! And that La Petite Salope dress is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!

erika sorocco said...

I think I'll choose the...Frye June Sling-Back Ring Wedge. I can never get enough of Frye. Second? Those Miss Sixty's - the color is just perfect for the warmer months!

Love the questionnaire, by the way - j'adore learning all about you! :)

Hi Sweetie Darling,
The La Petite Salope dress is Très Chic! The women wearing high heels at Jack's (boring) polo matches are my little guilty pleasure, always fun to see them sink deep into the grass ;)
Yes I am evil i know!
Next week i am doing a little "Fashion illustration" post especially for you!!!

The wedge is the optimal heel, IMO. Walkable and sexy. And I love your answers. You did so many fun things yesterday it blows my mind!

Hi Carrie. I'm on the hunt for some amazing wedges to wear this summer, too. I like the Bottega and Terry de Haviland ones. I love how they give you the extra height and are cushy.

Oh, wedges...the most comfy kind of height for me. ;)
And yes, I am also addicted to Ab Fab reruns. One of the Best Shows Ever.

Anika said...

Ahhhh, wedges...how I've come to appreciate you. I used to be iffy about them, but since I indulged in a few pairs and most recently in the Tristan Blair pair...I'm a convert!

Love them!

And I love the tag :)
p.s. do the fitflops actually work? I'm too put off by their look to actually consider them. Do let us know if they're worth it :)

have a lovely weekend bella

Elizabeth Marie said...

Those Cavallis are calling my name!
You teach yoga?! How fun! I just started and it's making me feel so much better!

Have a great Sunday CC! xoxo
