Trip to the Botanical Gardens.

More pictures with this dress. A couple of friends and I took a trip to the Botanical Gardens a little while back, it was super hot out but also a perfect day for photographing!

I'm still getting a lot of calm earthy vibes for my outfits as of lately. Feathers, flowy dresses and skirts, and lots of bracelets of course!

This is the call of arms to live and love and sleep together.

Hope everyone had an amazing 4th of July this year! I certainly did...

 Look closely! Do you see my 4th of July nails? I had a fun time painting them and found a bunch of cool nail designs in the process! I was really tired on 4th of July so I was just wearing a comfy nautical shirt and...black sweatpants. Ha ha. I had a long week and it's only going to get more busier from here til Monday (workworkwork blah thecorporateworldtakesanotherdown work)!!! Thankfully I have some post drafts saved!

Now last but certainly my favorite part of this post, I always think of this song around the time of fireworks...

Shoe favorites.

My favorite shoes from the past spring/summer seasons. It looks like Spring/Summer 2009 had some really amazing shoes, really glad I snagged the black pair of Ann D's a couple months back but I would also love these in white. My favorites above, Dries Van Noten always makes beautiful shoes. Check 'em out below...

 Spring/Summer 2009. 

Love all of these, I'm crazy about beads on shoes! I'm currently sketching a couple of pairs of beaded shoes and I can't wait til there done!

Now, while I don't usually find any Marc Jacobs shoes that really catch my eye (even though I love the designers purses, very beautiful work) the Resort 2010 collection of shoes was certainly quite eye catching...

Now, I am not a fan of jelly shoes, or any type of rubbery shoes for that matter. They really irk me, so yes as you can guess I really hate rubber flip flops, or just flip flops of any kind. These pair of jelly platform heels would be perfect if the top part of the shoe wasn't jelly! The velvet part is beautiful, so leather would have been much better for the straps, in fact when I first saw them I though it was leather until I researched further. I am so disappointed because I really would love this shoe if it wasn't for the jelly part. They came in 3 beautiful colors, pink, blue, and gray. Too bad for the jelly straps. 

More later, Miu Miu has been on it the past couple of seasons with their shoes, same for YSL! More shoe favorites posts to come!
