Looking Forward to Spring: Wonderful Wedges

Wonderful Wedges

Wonderful Wedges by nycandparis featuring wedge sandal shoes

If you are in a place like where I live, there is still snow on the ground, but that doesn't mean I can't start thinking about spring...or summer even. I feel like spring is just around the corner, even if I am still wearing knee-high boots, scarves, and puffy coats.  Watching all of the clothing lines roll out their new spring collections has been contributing to my eagerness to get into the spirit of spring, get in the spirit of spring. I've started zeroing in on my favorite trends, and one of them is definitely wedge sandals in a nude or brown color. There are so many out there in every price point, it is impossible not to find some that you fancy.  Going with more of a nude color definitely works to lengthen your legs as much as possible, especially if you pair them with a shorter skirt, cropped trouser or shorts. But they also look just as good peeking out from underneath longer pants for work, and they still keep their magic leg-lengthening effect.  So what are you waiting for? Go forth and find your own pair of wonderful wedges!

Fashion Show: Banana Republic Spring/Summer 2011 -- Its all About the Little Details

Watching the Banana Republic Spring/Summer 2011 Fashion Show tonight, I appreciated the little details that kept the looks fresh.  A chunky necklace here, the pop of a collar there, a few ruffles here, a faux brooch there.  The Collection was what most of us have come to expect from BR -- crisp basics with a little twist here or there to make us want to add another "basic" to our wardrobes.  Looks one through four above were by far my favorites, and it looks like we can look forward to some interesting jewelry offerings from BR come Spring. I have to admit, I love the ruffly vest in look number 3 above -- the color is great, and I absolutely adore the collar and flower detail -- it looks a bit J. Crew-esque, without being outright stolen from the brand. The white dress (the last of the looks above) was a bit ho-hum for me -- paired it with boots and she could be on the prairie.  But all in all, I think BR successfully found some cute little details that will keep us coming back to the brand.
