Fab Finds – Razzle Dazzle at the Miu Miu store

The Miu Miu store in Soho (NYC) was all about the razzle dazzle.  Check out all the glittery and sparkling creations!  They’d make Dorothy from Wizard of Oz scream with joy.

I found myself conflicted.  The girly girl in me loved them and secretly wanted a pair.  But surely, these glittery creations would leave a trail of unwanted sparkles behind me.   I have GPS, no need for the sparkly trail.  Plus I did not want to look like an art project gone bad if I ever needed to click my heels in search of home.  So I did a little fashion research on Polyore to see if others saw these girly glittery shoes as must-haves.  Sorry Miuccia, but I felt both attracted to them at the same time ashamed to wear them.  I mean who would take me seriously wearing such silly things?  I am over the age of 10 after all…

Nonetheless, it was interesting to find the sparkly sets and see how different people used the Miu Miu shoes in their styling.  Which do you like best?  And would YOU wear these?


Style Diary: Vintage Style

Lately, I’ve been inspired by vintage looks.  I love the femininity of the 50’s and the uniqueness of scoring that special something that you know not everyone will have or easily recognize.  The key is to mix vintage pieces with modern trends and classic staples from your closet.  You don’t want to look like you just appeared out of a time machine.

My mom’s closet is the best to raid.  Here are some looks that I’ve created simply by stealing a few key pieces. Below, I took her Maggy London dress, re-hemmed it, added a vintage stretch belt and wore it with BCBG suede stilettos that I bought on sale for $45, tights that I found at the dollar store, beaded necklace from my collection and my treasured Chanel purse. Here I’m wearing mom’s vintage bow blouse with her vintage skirt (re-hemmed), Bruno Magli black boots, a H&M cardigan and Forever 21 clutch.

My mom’s tinier than me but somehow I managed to fit into her vintage bow belt shown below.  headband and shoes from Forever 21, skirt from Tahari

Below are some additional vintage-inspired looks worn by fellow fashion bloggers.  Maybe they’ll inspire you too!
