Isabel Toledo and Payless

Fabulous designer Isabel Toledo is doing a line of shoes and bags for Payless that is due out in September. This Collaboration is most likely one you don't want to miss.  You can read more about her collection here and WWD. I love the fact that she says she is a "walker" because as much as I love heels they are not always practical for running around the town. We all know that Isabel's shoes are going to be as she stated "playful and bold but also comfortable." I can't wait to see them all especially the "Cuban heel gillie" and the "Almost a Slingback"
I have loved Isabel Toledo since the 1980's and her husband Ruben has to be one of my most favorite illustrators. They are the epitome of the the perfect fashion couple, both so talented and amazing and perfect together they even almost look like each other.
Last summer while Camilla and I were in NY we had the opportunity to see the exhibit at FIT which was beautiful and inspiring. What can I say she is impeccable and I would die to own one of her pieces. So here I come Payless:)

ch ch ch ch ch Cherry BOMB!

"Can't stay at home, can't stay at school
Old folks say, ya poor little fool
Down the street I'm the girl next door
I'm the fox you've been waiting for."

 
Take me back to the Seventies! 
Although we are not huge fans of Kristen Stewart, we have never read a Twilight book nor seen the the movie.  I have to say there is a slight intrigue about the upcoming movie "The Runaways."  I think mainly because I love the Seventies. The fashion even though at times could be a bit tacky there was still goodness. I mean come on we had Halston,  Studio 54, Glam rock, Punk rock, Farrah Fawcett and Hot pants with Platform shoes.  
If you love the fashion and want the look we found some fabulous pieces to rock this spring a la "Runaway."

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! We hopefully will get back to some photo shoots this  Saturday or Sunday, it has defiantly been a while.
