labor of love

happy labor day!  whether laboring for love, family, purpose, reward or a combination thereof, today is a day to relax and take some “me” time. thankfully, the modern worker bee no longer has to succumb to traditional suiting and mundane colors.  here, i love these playful colors and prints.  the giraffe microprint on this blouse is “too-die-for.”  while i’m always serious about my work, i like to wear easy-going, happy clothing.  hopefully, it’s a reflection of my positive attitude and labor of love.  have a good one!

to the point

i love the reemergence of the pointed-toe pump.  it is so refined, captivating yet always classic.  i found these red pumps from zara and with this dress, i feel it’s the perfect shoe! i’ve had this dress for awhile and always felt i didn’t have the right pump for it.  this bright heel is the perfect accompaniment; especially with a busy blazer, this look is well-balanced and to the point.

simple natured

structured minimalism was once again seen on fall 2012 runways.  the silhouette of this dress is very simple and the architecture of this shoe is as well.  decorated with a digital print (yet another fall 2012 runway trend), these heels have some interesting appeal when paired with the color-blocked dress.  i love a shoe with a print!  with leather, vegan and authentic versions, continuing to reign our seasons, this is truly a fall look. it’s simple-natured, yet elegant and sophisticated!
