Wake-Up Call »

Attending business school part-time while working full-time makes for some sleepy mornings, especially when they start earlier than usual like mine did this morning thanks to a Statistics midterm exam review. Since showing up in slippers wasn’t an option, I put on these comfy black and cream ballet flats (available here). The bright jeans also helped me feel more alert…

PINK »

Pink is one of my favorite colors so I obviously love the idea of a monochromatic pink outfit, especially when the shoes are only $13!

Pink Sensation!

Zipped & Capped »

Everyone needs several good pairs of boots but since boots require more leather and materials they often come with a higher price tag than your regular shoes, making it hard to create the collection you’d like. Thankfully, affordable retailer Zara now has a very nice boot collection. While Zara has made some tradeoffs in quality to bring the price down (e.g., cow leather vs. calfskin and synthetic lining vs. leather), overall its boots do the job. We like the ‘Boot with Zipped Cap-Toe.’

Descriptions Can Be Deceiving »

Shopping tip: Sometimes little heels are tucked away under the “Flats” category. Case in point: The Sutliff pump from ALDO. Its kitten heel certainly offers a nice lift but you wouldn’t have found it in the either of the two sections for heels on ALDO’s website.
