Trend: Shoes that are also boots

Here’s a trend I admit I don’t get: boots that have shoes as their bases. Case in point: Anthropologie’s Tagalong Boots (now $200). I just can’t wrap my head around this trend. And Anthro is far from the only store carrying these. Behold the Puma Ferro Boots ($375) which make me disappointed that the name “Ugg” was already taken. I…

RECENT PURCHASES I ♥

On the right person maybe…Deller’s Element Jumper

I go back and forth on the Deller’s Element Jumper ($288). At first my reaction was, GASP! A jumper??!? But the more I look at it the more I like it, especially with the styling in the catalog (photo above). It has a Katherine Hepburn quality to it that makes it seem very classic. Then again, I don’t think I…

Surprise! The Clever & Wily Shift Dress

When I first saw the Clever & Wily Shift ($328) I purred at the cashmere dress’s noticeably Audrey Hepburn-like vibe. So simple and yet so chic. But then I saw the dress from the back. It took me awhile to decide if I like this rear view or not. I’ve come to the conclusion that I like it. It doesn’t…

Not sure what to make of…the Soaring Porcine Ring

I’m as much a fan of kitsch as the next person but the Soaring Porcine ring ($178) seems to take it to a whole new level. When pigs fly indeed. Not only is the ring huge (and heavy) but its jewel-encrusted look would put Swarovski to shame. Part of me thinks the ring is kind of cute and perhaps if…

On the right person maybe…knotty pine cardigan

Flourish is one thing, but Anthro takes it to another level with the Knotty Pine Cardigan. My first thought when I saw this cardigan was “Ursula!” The color is gorgeous but the fabric around the neck does evoke tentacles. One the one hand the neckline looks like it would keep you very warm. On the other hand it looks like…
