Those gorgeous nude and back color-block sandals are by Giuseppe Zanotti and I have wanted them for months.  I love a black heel because it goes with everything (at least in my wardrobe where everything is, well, black), but the nude front elongates the leg and is the perfect compromise.  But alas, I am on a budget (and Giuseppe Zanotti is not).  And then I stumble upon the most perfect Vince Camuto sandals at Nordstrom Rack (oh thank you. Nordstrom Rack!), and they are a dead ringer to the Giuseppe Zanotti’s that have been bookmarked for-like-ever (in shoe-craving-time.)

The Vince Camuto‘s are so similar I could cry.  This in no way has hindered my deep-seated desire to own and love a pair (or ten) of Giuseppe Zanotti’s, but I may just get by this once with an affordable alternative.

Real: Giuseppe Zanotti // Deal: Vince Camuto

The title alone has me sold – before I’ve even delved into the luxe sweater that celebrities and trend-setters all wear, the gorgeous patterns and oh-so-soft textures – no, I was sold at wearable blanket.  These sweater coats are literally blankets with sleeves, and I own several.  Also known as wrap cardigans, these sweaters have an open front with a whole lot of draping down the center, in lieu of buttons, zippers, etc.  They’re absolutely perfect for travel, walks on the beach, trips to … well, anywhere.

But who am I kidding?  I wear mine for long days in the office, almost exclusively.  Hey, at least I get away with wearing a blanket!

{For Love & Lemons Lulu Dress in Vanilla, $88 @ Planet Blue}

Disney starlet, Ashley Tisdale was spotted in the Lulu dress while promoting her new movie, “Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure,” at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles last night.  This dress has an A-line cut, sheer paneling, designed especially for those of us who are not so uh, …”busty”.  It’s like a modern-day figure skater’s dress.  Winning.

So in love with this shoe.  Meet the Alla Wedge by Alexander Wang.  Khloe Kardashian wears her pair everywhere – and I’m jealous.  I’m thinking of permanently filing all things Alexander Wang into my own personal “yes” category.

These wedges are nothing short of perfection.

But of course, these leopard stunners nearly shatter the bank at a staggering $650+ price tag, and most sizes are sold out everywhere.  But Nina offers a pretty impressive version at a much more palatable $109.
