LUST LUST LUST: Spring Sprang Sprung

Hey, remember two weeks ago when I said I missed snow?  No? Me neither.  Because we had a bunch of the heavy wet stuff this week, which gave me a case of cabin fever and gave my husband a 6 hour commute from work (normally 30 minutes) on Wednesday night.  Nice knowing you snow, but I'm ready for spring.  This is an ode to my LUST for florals, sunshine, bare legs and pedicures. 

This week I'm drooling over pretty 60s and 70s dresses paired with statement-making platform and wedge sandals.  

1.  70s day dress, Church of Vintage, $42
2.  Nude wedges, BILFWorldwide, $32

1. Floral dress, LittleBeeVintage, $50
2. Velvet Wedges, VerseauVintage, $60

1. Super 70s dress, MilaTreasures, $39

Can't you just feel the the sun on your skin?  I know spring is two months (ugh) away, but this blog is full of wishful thinking.  Global warming, let's do this.

LUST LUST LUST: Red Shoes

This year marks the first time in a long time that I haven't had a pair of red shoes in my closet.  I think of them as a wardrobe staple--one of those items that makes a basic outfit (especially basic black) "pop."  With Valentine's Day coming up (and my birthday the day after!), I did a little online shopping for red shoes of all kinds.  There's a shoe for every gal in every price range.

1. Fringed Ferragamo Flats, AttysVintage, $24
2.  Low Duck Boots, hellcatvintage, $22
3.  Wooden Sole Clogs, RogueRetro, $16
4.  Mod Oxfords, bluebutterflyvintage, $25.60 (ON SALE NOW!)

1. Cowgirl Boots, Vintage925, $65
2. Lace Up Ropers, maefairvintage, $68
3. Knee High Heels, AstralBoutique, $22

1. Pointy Oxfords, JDVintage, $42
2.  Criss Cross 60s Mary Janes, heartsndilly, $55
3.  Sweetheart 40s Pumps, thevintagesupplyco, $175

Oh, and you know how I mentioned earlier my birthday is coming up? February 15th?  Well, I love vintage shoes, but there are a few pairs of modern (GASP!) red shoes I've been eyeing up for a while now.  Size 8 1/2, please!

 These Vans are a classic replacement for my Converse--so cute in the spring with skinny jeans and lightweight tees!

$42

 The ideal basic suede pump from Urban Outfitters.

$48

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd my dream shoes.  Sigh.

Swedish Has Beens, $199.95 right now on SoleStruck!

Much LOVE to all of you on Valentine's Day and always,

Amanda
