What I Wore

For New Year's Eve we celebrated in style with friends at the Lodge Dining Room in Sun Valley. I love any reason to get dressed up. We were in bed well before the clock struck midnight, but it was a great time nonetheless. 

Here are a few photos of what I wore. I didn't end up "Renting the Runway. Instead I shopped in my own closet (and my mom's). 

1) Chain link bracelet (borrowed from my mom, I think it is Michael Kors), Nixon Camden rose gold watch, a Christmas gift from my +1.

2) Fur stole (my great grandmother's) and Phillip Lim 3.1 black dress purchased at Seams to Fit for an incredible $99 (last seen here).

3) My current favorite hair style, a sock bun! Stay tuned for a sock bun tutorial and video blog. 

4) ASOS polka dot tights and Vince Camuto Zella heels. 

And one last photo of me and my +1! 

Happy New Year! 

Basic Black

Just before Christmas I realized that I don't have a good, basic pair of black heels. Impossible, right? And so began the search...

If I had my pick I would have bought the Kate Spade Karolina, which I already own in nude. But, at $298, they cost a bit more than I want to spend right now.

So, back to the search...Piperlime had a 20% off sale last week, so it was perfect timing. Here are a few of the shoes I considered.

Enzo Angiolini Smiles $99

Vince Camuto Elaine $89

Bandolino Eladia 3 $69

And here's what I settled on...The Vince Camuto Zella $98. What do you think?
