I’m going to be spending an awful lot of time on my feet this summer - I’m teaching a series of art camps.  I need a shoe that’s going to be comfortable & supportive from 7am to 5pm… as well a shoe that still looks pretty.

Tall order, huh?

I think that the charming mary-jane flat “Millie Suede” may fit the bill:

 Cute, supportive and should perk me up after a day of chasing after budding young artists :-)

No, you can’t call me Betsey - that’s the name of this whimsical handbag from Betsey Johnson!

It’s not the handbag for a dressy dinner out, or for a night at the opera - but at only $65 it’s a reasonable price for a fun purse that’s perfect for showing your sense of humor :-)

I love the bright colors & enthusiasm of designer Tarina Tarantino - but she has a wide range of designs that are elegant and restrained… or at least as restrained as leopard print can be :-)

This is her resin and metal “Bibarucci” bracelet, inspired by designers Barbara “Biba” Hulanicki and Elio Fiorucci:

You’ll have to excuse a little bit of giddiness from me today…

This arrived for me this morning!

Now, I know I don’t need another purse, but I couldn’t resist :-)

I don’t know a whole lot about the purse, other than it’s vintage wicker, made in Hong Kong.  I bought it from Covenant Garden Vintage on Etsy.  If you’ll excuse me, I need to go coo over it again…

I just couldn’t let the day go by without mentioning this… As I’m sure you already know, fashion icon, Yves Saint Laurent passed away yesterday from cancer.

I love this quote from him “Fashion isn’t just to decorate women, but to reassure them, give them confidence.”
