Can Owls Please Have a Moment?

Published on by Jenna Hutson1 Comment

Birds. Yes, birds. Some people may find them scary, or mechanical, or have flashbacks to Hitchcock movies….but I love them. To me they are like flowers, delicate and enamouring. Fleeting in their beauty, a’light on the breezy.

That is why I am calling for owls in general to please have a fashion moment. I get that foxes are so IN right now, and I LOVE foxy things…but I think the hooters should be next.

Kate Spade and How to be the Office “IT” Girl

Published on by Jenna HutsonLeave a comment

Nothing like working over the holidays to make you feel like anger blogging, but since this is NOT that kind of blog (and my Visa is maxed out) I’m going to channel my frustration toward shoes…very bright and fun shoes!

I think Kate Spade is smart*, quirky, and joyful. I am lucky to own a few of her pieces acquired heavily discounted on sale! Sale! SALE! I wish I could own more but with my current budget limitations I am…well, limited to just dreaming of being that classy office “It” girl. Like Mary Tyler Moore after a few day-glow martinis (no, they don’t exist-yes, they should exist).

Kate, I will revisit and revisit your style because it is such an inspiration for me…and my bow addiction.

Vicente Rey: The Lighter Side

Published on by Jenna Hutson2 Comments

Yesterday I proceeded to gush over the Beaujolais-soaked dark heart of his “Sur Mesure” collection. Reminiscent of boudoir attire, they drip with delicate detail…but today is another day. In the light of morning everything is bathed in dreamy, sparkling sunshine.

In his “Mariee” collection he explores the angelic themes of a wedding couture. The lace in this instance feeling more innocent and gold/silver embellishment echoing bridal radiance.

Ankle skirting lace with that glowing bride thing going on.

I already own the shoes that I will probably (if I ever get my act together) walk down the aisle in….but I really, really have second thoughts when I look at these ethereal beauties.

Silk and Gold details look soft and feminine.

Seriously, Vinny…can I call you Vinny?..I do. I DO.

Imaging this silvery lace glinting in the matrimonial glow…I do.

Vicente Rey: Sultry.Delicate.Detail.

We’ve all seen Vicente Rey shoes on Pinterest… always looking impossibly delicate. Like a misplaced breathe would certainly strip the feathers or turn the lace to sparkly dust. Like a true couturier his works are only on display in Paris and Barcelona and his online presence is nearly null.

For this post, I thought I would highlight his drool worthy, red wine bodied, darker side.

A delicate feather tendril reaching up the ankle.

He is a master of feathered sculpting and a well balanced design.

Lace framing the foot artfully.

I can only think that to strut in one of his skinny-heeled marvels would be a risk that even the most street wary lady would happily welcome.
