Oops they did it again....


Still fresh from the sting of losing the yellow and black wedges from Target, I thought Zac Posen is coming up and I had my eye on 1 dress. Same thing happened. When I called the Target store they told me what they got, No floral brocade tie dress. I have since informed Target my love for them has waned and I will try VERY hard not to shop there anymore. The next day, I look at Ebay and low and behold, is the Zac Posen dress for 79.99 while the original price was 74.99. It was more than amazing. I bought it and had good info on the sellers ratings. One more fashion loss who knows what I would have done. So in a way I didn't get my money to the big T, I gave it to a very nice person

Ankle boot evolution

Mango's ankle boot




This little tidbit about ankle boots is from WhoWhatWear. My main focus last spring were a part of Mango ankle boots (above) they were to die for, and of course they only went to a size 10 (me 11) so I searched high and low for alternatives, I thought about having someone make me a pair, It didn't end. Then I realized the ankle boot was here to stay, I could calm down. A year later I happily have 4 pairs, the styles keep getting better. I realized that missing out on one pair shouldn't kill me, but it didn't. Talk about making a mountain out of a pair of shoes.

Ankle Boot Overload
On footwear side note, we are still seeing tons of ankle boots—with and without heels—dominating backstage. Whether they are bright blue (at Anna Sui), black and laced (seen at Gianfranco Ferre, Peter Som, Rag & Bone) or pale and neutral (at Derek Lam and Carolina Herrera), it's all about ankle-grazing options. Whether you pair them with skinny bottoms, or tights (after all, the shows are during the dead of New York winter in February), be sure to check out our stellar selection. If black ankle booties are your cup of tea, try Steve Madden's Virgoo Boots ($76) or Dolce Vita's Wish Boots ($110). For a few neutral styles, check out Boutique 9's Elation Combat Boots ($198) or Jeffrey Campbell's French Field Boots ($138). All of these are chic and MOD-approved, so make sure you snap them up and wear them with your favorite floral skirt or cutoffs all spring and summer long for a smart transitional investment!—Kate Mulling
