SAT SHOPPING ♥ SHOES SIGH SHOES

So I'm not really in need of spending more money on clothes or shoes as I have a load of things that have never seen the light of day (or night for that matter). BUT I really might try to find these amazing and very nice looking super spiked peep-toe black heels from Forever 21...primarily because of the lovely spiked detail. The reviews say they look even better in person than they do online. And they're only around $32! But my size was sold out online and it does say they run true to size, which means if I go up a half size, then they might look like I'm a little girl wearing some big girl's shoes. I think because of the height of the heel, it would be best to get a snug fit rather than a bigger fit. In any case, these are a steal and a hot one at that.♡

 

i normally don't like super super spiked heels...but that profile is HOT

FRIDAY FANCY ♥ LADUREE'S SUMMER

I was stoked to see the new Ladurée Summer Collection in my inbox. Though there aren't any Ladurée shops near me, I do plan on living in Paris as soon as I can. But that's another story for another time. Here are some special pretty and tasty bits that you can try or buy IF you can get to one. I think they might do some online commerce, too. Hmmmm.♡

To introduce the new summery macaron flavours
Ladurée has pictured a scenery featuring
the journey of a « Marquise » in her carriage
with her two porters and her adorable puppy.
Since the last ten years, these drawings have been created
by Ladurée to preserve the exclusivity of their delicacies range
and to ensure that every moment shared with Ladurée
will always be a celebration.

The "Incroyable" Violet
Two crispy shells filled with a smooth
violet-flavoured "guimauve".
This new macaron is made up with a delicate
colour and a spellbinding taste will no doubt
be the surprise of the new season.

The "Incroyable" Lemon - Lime
Two crispy shells filled with a smooth
« guimauve » lemon and lime flavour,
both sweet and intense.
A subtle sour taste for a summer treat.

July
« Le Butterfly »
A poppy cream mousse and melt-in-your-mouth
yuzu & wild mara heart between a pair
of dazzling strawberry macaron shells.

August
Le « Cake à la Rose »
A moist little
rose-flavoured cake
decorated with fresh rose petals.

these candles must be amazing...you see them at Sofia Coppola's home in the Marc Jacobs documentary...and they're 50 Euros each!:

The "Chantilly" Candle

Whilst Ladurée is celebrating its 150th anniversary,
this year also marks the tenth anniversary
of its perfumed candles collection.

A perfect opportunity to create a new sweet scent
with a delicious note of « Chantilly ».
A delicate fragrance enhanced in
a new white fine porcelain pot.

This « Chantilly » candle is available
in a limited edition gift box featuring
the emblematic green and gold colours
representative of Ladurée.

THURS SHOE ♥ CHARLOTTE OLYMPIA "LULU"

I think these "LULU" heels by Charlotte Olympia might be one of those kinds of heels that look amazing on the foot rather than on the display shelf. I don't know. I always say it, but some heels just don't have that babe factor until they are on the foot and you can really see what they do to the leg/foot/body as well as see the design elements and how they work. I also just realized that I just featured Olympia's Baboushka bag recently. I didn't know I was that much of Charlotte Olympia fan, but apparently I am. OH...I failed to mention...these are the Lulu Guinness for Charlotte Olympia heels...THAT'S why I love them so much.♡

WED SPECIAL ♥ MARC JACOBS CAMPAIGN

The Marc Jacobs FALL 2012 CAMPAIGN features models Magda Laguinge, Marie Piovesan, Marte Mei Van Haaster, Ros Georgiou and Tati Cotliar and of course was photographed by Juergen Teller. These looks remind me of Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. What I think the brand is saying is...this is not for everyone. They aren't trying to sell the cliché sexy pretty tall long blonde hair boring boring looks that most every other brand is trying to sell. Marc Jacobs is punk rock (or grunge) at heart. And that's why I heart him/it. Oh yeah...I also love this collection because one of my very good old friends, Adele Mildred (who drew the girl in the Nancy Girl logo) was in charge of the hats.♡

i'll take the dress, please. and the hat...but the hat will stay in my collection. the dress will stay on my body.
