Zara?!

Zara, $70
There isn't a Zara store where I (or most American ladies) live. I think the closest one is in DC. I've never even been to a brick-and-mortar Zara store, because I've heard it's essentially a more-expensive-because-it's-Spanish Forever 21. More expensive? Yes. Forever 21? Hardly.

I was browsing some less-expensive websites looking for cozy sweaters, when I discovered exactly how cool Zara is. I found leopard print pointed-toe flats! I'm snapping those babies up as soon as I deposit my next paycheck (which seems like 10 million lightyears away when you're drooling over something, let's be honest).




Some other envy-worthy finds:
Tweed Blazer, Zara, $90
Sequin Jacket, Zara, $129

Zara, $159
Zara, $100
Zara, $60
Blazer, Zara, $80

Blazer, Zara, $80











Top, Zara, $40

Studs, Spikes, and My Actual Life


In my pretend life, I'm a young Rachel Zoe, jetting off to fabulous events and going to the most exclusive fashion shows. Essentially, places where I can wear these babies and not look like an idiot:

Sam Edelman, $176 [All 3 images, Zappos]
Sam Edelman, $200










Sam Edelman, $158


And yeah, I am kind of obsessed with all things Sam Edelman right now. Again, not that I can do much about it :) The ladylike-meets-downtown-cool thing is so addictive!

But in my actual life, I live about half a mile from where my classes are, and there are hills sprinkled all over campus. I don't care how gorgeous those shoes are, there is no way I'm walking two miles a day in 4" stilettos.

So, I'm left with 3 options: wedges, flats, and sandals. For summer, I live in metallic gladiator flats. I probably need some new ones, to be honest. But as you're probably aware, it's not summer anymore. Virginia weather likes to pretend it's still summer (and that it's a tropical rainforest), but it's basically fall.

This fall, I'm looking for some wedges & maybe a pair of pointy-toe or printed flats to spice things up (#5 and 6 on this list). Below are a couple pairs under $70 that I'm currently eying :)
