Love it or Leave it: Perforated Footwear

Ohne Titel Fashion Week Spring 2013

I've been a little obsessed with all things perforated, especially shoes!  It's not really a new trend, but I've noticed a lot more stuff with holes in them lately.  They're great for Spring, because maybe your feet are not quite ready to fully make their debut but want the air and sun to hit them a bit.  Ha!  Sounds good to me!  I'm surely going add a pair to my shoe closet really soon.  

You want holes in your shoes?  I've got you covered...

Blah Blah...

No, Wednesday Style Steal today...sorry about that.   A girl is mentally tired!   I had to give my time to my French homework.  I was  a bit behind, but now I'm all caught up.  Learning a new language really requires a lot of your precious time.  At least 2 hours a day is needed to really comprehend what you learned in class.  Work in progress... 

Clare Vivier Oversized Clutch used to carry my French books...Love!
Gotta stay fash! Ha! 

Bonne Journée!

Mint & Lemon,  Lemon & Mint

Lemon and Mint are the perfect color combination as well as add a little pop to a plain glass of H2O.  It's so fresh and crisp, and fabulous for a wedding or even a baby shower.  I love it!  Planning a wedding or know someone planning one, suggest these colors for the perfect Spring or Summer wedding.  Get more inspiration here...

I'm Looking For, Can You Find Me...

"I'm Looking For, Can You Find Me..."  is something new I will be doing from time to time to help my lovely readers live La Vie Chic (The Chic Life) and stay well fitted.  Frequent requests from family and friends to find certain items, help with personal style, plan quick trips, give hotel and restaurant suggestions, or gift suggestions has lead me to share this special talent with you.  Ha! I will even be your consultant extraordinaire to walk you through planning your wedding or special event.  Many people don't have the time or the desire to plan or do the research, but that is what I love to do.  Leave a comment on the blog or email me at jiggyloves@gmail.com, and I will point you in the right direction.

Last week a reader left a comment that they were looking for a white/off-white Summer handbag.  I contacted her and got more details as far as price range, style, etc.  This is what I found...
