Fashion Thoughts.

Today's post has become a daunting task. I'm not sure what to write about.   But, I'm leaning towards fashion.   Yes, fashion I know has an infinite amount of possibilities however, I'm just not quite sure "what" to focus on today.   Hmmm...

And yes, I'll still post ...this & that...Thursday however I'm branching out.

Some ideas.  I've been pondering a post on accessories lately, maybe?  A follow-up to my Magnificent Seven post that's already in the works {read the original post here}?   An "idea" regarding how do "I" change my look "on a budget"?   A post regarding a wardrobe makeover and updating my closet?   A post dedicated entirely to shoes and "buying" new ones (you see I'm in need of several new pairs a few on their last legs)?

As you know I have an ever-growing stack of unread magazines.   I'm slowly but surely weeding down the stack to nothing. But not quite yet and I added to it about a week ago.   It's funny right?   Yes, I know it is.   Why would I buy more to read when I can't get through my "current" must-read stack?   Because the cover catches my eye, somehow, someway it does.  Don't you agree?  It happens, yes?

Anyhow here are a few things that have caught my eye recently:

I'm really loving Kenneth Cole's outfit ensembles right now.   Have you seen there print ads lately?  There fabulous.  And it makes me want all of the outfits!

I think I'm in need of a grey-yellow blazer or maybe just bright yellow.  I'm indecisive can't you tell?  Buttons or no buttons?  Check out outfit from Style Pantry.  The Editor, Folake Kuye Huntoon posts her daily outfit and I'm sharing a few pics.  And she designed the shoes at eidia lush and so can you!  PS - Kori, I stand corrected about "bows", seriously I do.

The color cinnamon...do I like it or hate it?   Or is really terracotta masquerading as cinnamon?   You tell me...?   Agree or disagree?
City Safari look...I'm loving it, aren't you?

Tuxedo jacket...I want, I need.   An imperative must-have look for each of us gals.

The cuff... An ingenious idea for a bracelet.  We all need and want several of these.

Chunky platforms...Ummm, yes please!   What's my limit?   Seriously, is there a limit to how many pairs a girl can have?

Cropped jeans.   A "do" or a "don't"? And with which shoes.   I think it entirely depends on the look when is trying to achieve.   Don't you agree?  A DIY to make your own cropped jeans. 

On a side note let's talk shoes.   Spring shoes to be exact.   Sandals.   Caged booties.   I'll admit I have 2 pairs of Gianni Bini booties and I love them!  A pair in black patent leather and another cream patent leather.  The black ones are by far my most absolute favorite pair of shoes.  You can only imagine how devastated I was Tuesday midday when I realized the sole was broken!  Yes, broken.  And its something I don't think is repairable.  I have absolutely no idea how it happened.  And I have tried to buy a second pair now for some time and no such luck; its no longer being made.  However, if you are reading this post and have seen them or know someone at Gianni Bini that can get me a pair please, pretty please, let me know.  I'd most certainly love you forever.  Seriously, I would.  At the fabulous age of 34 these shoes are and have been my absolute favorite!  Alright, enough said.  I think I'm definitely going to have to do a shoe post.  And I'll need to include a few shoe diva's that I know to add their two sense.  I still can't believe they are broken!

When a change in season comes about it is a definite reminder that every girl needs to make a hair appointment.  Either to spruce things up or change things up.  And yes you are truly reading that I am officially stating that "I am in desperate need of a hair appointment".  Not necessarily for a cut but I need to add some "pep" to my hair.  The older I get the darker blond my hair gets (yes, I'm a natural blond) and the curlier it gets.  And I must say that the darkness and curliness in full steam ahead and just in time for my birthday.  I guess my hair is screaming "35".  Don't worry you didn't miss it.  The big, joyous day is later this summer.

Lastly, can someone please explain "color blocking" to me?  I can't say that I honestly understand what this is.  Am I close with this "definition": pairing two bright colors that you normally wouldn't pair together?  Or am I completely off base?  Be honest I can handle the truth.  You can read about it here, here, here, and here if you'd like to help me figure it out.

Have a wonderful day and I'll see you tomorrow for Fashion Friday and Friday's Fancies.
