{style inspiration: perfect platforms}

. . . a new pair of white strappy summer wedges earlier last week, for traipsing about town and blossom-laden walks with the dog, the third pair of wedges already this spring, and summer has yet to begin, and yet, after happening across these utterly charming prada platforms {above}, perfectly paired with pressed trousers turned in an ultra-chic french cuff in the most enchanting shade of august sunrise, am becoming quite smitten with platforms and their teetering heights and already imagine them with romantically flirty & lacy summer dresses for quiet lunch dates on cobbled terraces surrounded by spring flower boxes of pussy willows and daffodils . . .

{lookbook: mango spring 2011 nude collection}

. . . falling, falling for the impossibly chic train cases and elegant mary janes of mango's new spring collection -- the sheer & pretty pleats and daytime sequins, and most of all, the entirely irresistible shades of cognac, dusky apricot, whispery nudes and shimmery champagne . . .

{shoes, shoes, shoes}

. . . the last pair of shoes featured created quite a stir, and while they may not be origami-inspired louboutins, these equestrian-inspired lanvin beige double platform mary janes with white toe-caps and ankle straps are pure summer sexiness . . .
