Fabulous Flats - Polyvore inspirations

Given the ridiculous amount of walking I do at work, sometimes I end up really hating even my favorite heels. Since I can be practical when I need to be I thought I go surfing for inspiration on how to make flats look fabulous and So Perf.

I think I found my inspiration. Now I need to go shoe shopping, because my flat collection is not up to par. Sorry honey (dear husband), but I just have to.


How do you make flats look fabulous at work?

Gold Hot

Gold Hot by soperf featuring J.Crew clutches

Since Summer is here, I'm planning on enjoying as much of this weather as I can. Taking the kids to the pool, and maybe going for some shopping and a scoop of ice cream are very likely activities for me this weekend.

What are you planning to wear now that summer started?

I don't exactly know what it is about Marilyn Monroe that fascinates me. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that my Grandfather was so in LOVE with her and had kept several magazines and pictures of her. Maybe it was how she exuded confidence. Regardless, I think she transcends fashion and is still considered a great beauty icon today.

A bit against her "prim and proper" aura I decided to use her image in an outfit I wore this Saturday while taking the kids out to do some crafts at our local kids club. Comfy and casual, NorCal style.


Who do you consider a Beauty Icon?

I have been looking to re-decorate my home from head to toe. What can I say, I'm fickle! I had always had a tendency towards more with clean lines, but now I have noticed that as I walk through furniture stores, flip through magazines, or even browse through the internet I keep coming back to tufted furniture.

It started with headboards, then long sofas, and now chairs and ottomans.

Some pieces look more ornate, and others still have a more linear look, and yet the tufted look still makes me think it has an old-fashioned feel. Or maybe not.

What do you think?

Are tufted furniture pieces old-fashioned or can they be more contemporary?

Working for the Weekend

Working for the Weekend by soperf featuring J.Crew cardigans

Since it is Friday, and I have a hint of warmth in the air, I went for some bright colors and a cute skirt. I had been afraid of bright colors in the past, but now I love pairing them with neutrals. I am not ready for color blocking yet.

How do you wear your bright colors?
