Back to Black

I've been obsessing over neutral accessories the last few weeks, but after seeing these beauties, I've gone back to the dark side. These lovely suede cutout booties work for day or night and the stiletto and peep toe add just the right amount of glamour.

Watch where you step!

I got to admit, when it comes to these nude pink pumps with attitude from Sam Edelman, you either love them or hate them. I fall under the "Love them!" category.  I know us girls joke about our stilletos doubling as weapons but it's not a stretch in this case.

Definitely, NOT for the faint of heart, as they will illicit comments from total strangers.

Dreaming of Cooler Weather

Summer hasn't even begun , but I am wishing for Fall as I lust over these black suede wedge booties from Zoraide with a hint of the most beautiful red snake skin.

I have the perfect pair of crochet lace stockings calling this shoe's name.

Made You Look!

Tiffany Tuttle's line of shoes, started in 2005, is a combination of her three loves-fashion, art and dance.

I've been obsessed.  Her great use of line and dramatic shapes entice you to take a second look as design isn't always what it seems.

These crop leather sandals are great for summer with a tunic and denim shorts or something a little more dramatic.

Creme de la Creme

I'm loving neutral accessories right now. They add a subtle touch of Spring to an all black outfit.  This creme leather fringe bag from Roberto Cavalli is a current favorite, though I admit out of my price range.

Gorgeous leather, beautiful fringe (oh how I love thee), and cross stitch detail make this bag a stunner.  And there is plenty of room for your essentials, which for me include a sketch book.

ACB

No, it's not dyslexia. It's Annie Costello Brown.  Los Angeles designer of organic and funky leather jewelry.  She's designed pieces for Yves Saint Laurent to Urban Outfitters and her collections just keep getting better and better.  Below is the Linea Blade Necklace from her Spring line.

So fierce I can forgive the bronze color.

Rucksacks are convenient but not always fashionable. In comes Topshop with this great little number that not only has this summer's essential details of tassels and whipstitching but also includes my current favorite detail,  fringe.

With two zip side pockets this is great as an everyday bag or a perfect essential to take to a summer music festival.
