0 Shoe Wants.

So, I'm in the market for some new sandals for spring.  I'm absolutely in love with these...HOWEVER, they are very expensive.  I need to find some similar ones that are more in my price range (which is like a tenth of what these cost for the record).

Balenciaga Eclipse Flat Sandals in Plomb/Corail. + Alexander Mcqueen Skinny Leather Flat Sandals + Rebeccca Minkoff Bardot Colorblock Sandals 

In other shoe news:

I also really want these.  But I haven't been able to find any information on them...anyone know anything?

And did you see these chevron Louboutin's? Thank god they aren't paired with yellow or I would cry.

What I'm wearing these days:
Black, white, and yellow.  And stripes. No surprises here, haha.  I'm also pairing everything will leather, which I have become increasingly obsessed with. In addition, this year I'm trying to get better at accessorizing and wearing lip stain. Small goals.

2 Always Awesome Things from Bookhou

I'm such a big fan of Bookhou.  I have no idea why I never bought that first bag (which is now sold out!), but I think the little triangle pouch needs to come live with me soon. The triangles are obviously awesome, but I'm really like the lines pattern too. So many great products...

9 Apartment Updates...

1 Mardi Gras!

We had a completely fantastic trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras.  It really was such a soul refreshing trip.  I so enjoyed our time with our great friends in a city that I love so much.  We had a blast, especially walking in the Societe of St. Anne (we were the real housewives of mumbai!).  It's was hard to choose my  favorite images, be sure to check out my instagram to see more...
