Splurge or Save… on Twisted Mules?

Posted on by

Even though we’ve been talking a bit about fall boots & hoodies, let’s not forget about how summer is still very much shining brightly & mules are here to stay! When it comes to designer footwear, there are so many options, but who doesn’t love an affordable look-alike that saves you money?

As seen above, Dolce Vita’s Pilton mule (@Dolce Vita) is a stylish option for a variety of outfits & I do love the various colors, but not the $125.00 price! However, if you love the texture & twisted band combination & you’re looking for your next going-out heel, check out below:

SHOP: A New Day Jessa mule heels in 3 colors @Target ($37.99, available in sizes 5-12).

These neutral, affordable options are perfect for any bridal shower guest look, a family barbecue, or girls’ night out. Not to mention that these will certainly carry over well into next spring too! Which color do you like best? How do you feel about the twisted band detail? How often do you wear mules?

02/11/2016 Darling of the Day: Victoria Beckham’s Winter-Spring Combo!

Posted on by

Even though Long Island is in the thick of winter, it’s not too early to start looking ahead to spring fashion. The one & only Victoria Beckham, pop star turned fashion mogul, is already doing so. She’s a success on & off the red carpet, who not only sets the trends, but resets them in a much more polished & elevated way. For example, during a day out in New York City, the designer stepped out recently in her own Victoria Beckham brand, wearing a marigold ribbed turtleneck with a printed pleated skirt. Her accessories of choice are naturally minimalist, letting her outfit make the statement, with a chain link shoulder bag, oversized sunnies, & leather boots.
