Label Watch: Elizabeth & James Jan Multi Band Sandals

I absolutely love these distressed, metallic sandals by Elizabeth & James... it's too bad I don't really have any upcoming special occasions worthy enough to justify this purchase.

Shop My Closet: Elizabeth and James Shoes

Alright, I just have to come out and say it:  I am wild about the Olsen Twins and their clothing designs for Elizabeth and James and the Row.  I am curious to learn more about their fashion inspirations that I might even order their book "Influence" on Amazon (since I also started collecting Fashion Photography books, recently).  Is that a little weird that I'm looking up to Michelle Tanner for fashion advice?

I find these sling backs to be simply stunning....

I hope some type of event comes up that will allow me to justify ordering these.  I feel like I would keep them in my closet forever and wear them all over town as a signature piece.

However, I decided to purchase this pair as they seemed easier to incorporate into my everyday wardrobe.  (The J.Crew Booties - while cute are going back to the store.  They just felt too plain (although chic) and didn't feel very KIM-esque.)  

These peep toe suede booties were a little bit more up my alley.  I love that they draw influence from the Victorian era and the little button details make them feel extra special.  I also really really love a high heel platform.

Shop My Closet: Elizabeth and James Button Over Cardigan

OOPS!  I am a total noob!  I was trying to add new tags to my old blog posts and well, ended up deleting this post instead.  

New favorite thing in my entire closet. :)

I keep forking over my hard earned cash to those little Olsen Twins.  I feel guilty every time I contribute to their already massive fortune - but this was featured in Shopbop.com's recent Ultimate Closet and I had been eyeballing it before... the feature somewhat tipped the iceberg to make the purchase (validation,,haha).

It's semi sheer (little holes in the woven cotton) and feels a little distressed which makes it special.

Wear it open..

Buttoned up....

... or even cross it over for a snugger fit!  See, it's versatile two sweaters in one... that's why its OK.. keep telling myself that and proceed to check out!

 

Love how it is styled in the Lookbook

The one thing I don't like about Shopbop.com though is that they DO NOT pay for return shipping.  What does this mean for you?  Well, if you happen to make a purchase that costs upwards of $200 then return shipping gets pricey (shipping + insurance in case a package is lost over $200+). With that being said - please, don't take advice for me - as that acts as justification for my lazy ass to just keep all the purchases. :)
