Giving Isabel Marant a run for her money...The Aldo "Netz" Sneaker Wedge

I've been seeing photos of the Isabel Marant sneaker wedge everywhere.  While they are somewhat over-the-top for me (in a fun, whimsical way), I have managed to find a somewhat more toned down version that I am in love with. 

Here are a couple photos of the Isabel Marant Sneaker Wedgess:






I think I may have been able to manage these nude and white Marant's, however, the $800+ price tag is a bit too steep for my taste.

I found a pair I love from Aldo, on sale for half price.  I only paid $53 plus $5 shipping.  Mine are a taupey/nude suede color and they are fantastic!








These are still available on the Aldo Canada site.  They're called the "Netz" and they are fantastic.  They're really soft and I can easily see myself wearing these with jeans and skirts.  They're also great for the weekend and just running errands. Plus, the $50 price tag is completely doable.

What do you think?

Zara Score..His & Hers

As many of you may know, Zara is currently having one of their semi annual sales.  While there a couple of weeks ago, I picked up two pairs of shoes, one for myself, and one for Ty.


These are called the Zara Vamp Jelly and I am absolutely smitten.  They look great with jeans, dresses and shorts.  They're so versatile and definitely worth the $39.  Ty's were also $39..they're a nice runner that compliments any outfit.

What a Day!

I am currently in the office all by myself (everyone else is either part time or works from home a few days a week).  Morning started out great and then I got a piece of really bad news regarding the company and now I am overwhelmed with work to do and will be here probably until 6 tonight.

Oh well! I guess I'll go get another coffee and sit at my desk some more.  No OOTD today but hopefully I can get a couple more up this week.  This is a completely unnecessary post but I needed a minute! :)

Neon Bib Necklace

I
Necklace of the day? It's neon...and I love it. $17.50 at Forever 21. Decent price for the quality and style I'd say.





The full outfit.....





List:

Striped T-shirt Blouse: Zara ($20-sale)
Forever 21 jeggings ($12)
Urban Outfitters Blazer ($68)
Unisa Leather & Canvas flats ($8 on Ebay)

OOTD featuring the Zara Horse Blouse

Wore this to work the other day..a couple of people looked at me like "why's that girl got horses on her shirt for?". But those are the same people who probably enjoy mom jeans and unsightly Reeboks so I'll live.



These shorts are probably a tad too short for work, but its just too hot too care.  Please ignore my messy closet for now..I swear I've been looking for a curtain but they all come in sets of two and I can't be bothered (found a nice set at Giant Tiger in Collingwood, but sadly they were taken by someone else...true story)

List:
Zara Horse Shirt-Ebay ($14)
Gap black Shorts ($20)
Alfred Sung Gladiators-$20
