Lovely Obsessions: Via Spiga Clogs

Meet the newest addition to my shoe collection!  I've been ogling over clogs all summer long and I finally found the perfect pair at Nordstrom Rack last weekend.  These embody everything I've been looking for in a clog... platform heel, butter soft leather, cute details, deep caramel color and the right price.  I picked these up for less than half the retail price (marked down to $89 from $198)!!

The other day I saw these See by Chloe Slingback wedges (as seen on Rachel Bilson... love her!) on Who What Wear and instantly fell in love.  At $270 the price is a bit steep for a trendy shoe... but at any weak moment i may cave-in and make them mine!

Obsessions: Steve Madden Annton

I am strangely drawn to this Steve Madden Annton shoe ($129.95). I like that it's a peep-toe-wedge-oxford-bootie all in one because it hits many of the current shoe trends at the same time without looking absolutely ridiculous. I'm not sure how 'office appropriate' it is though, and that usually is the deciding factor in my shoe purchases. What are your thoughts on this shoe? Do you think it can be toned down with the right outfit to be more office appropriate?

Obsessions: Pouchettes

Love love love these teeny mini bags... they would add a perfect feminine touch to any summer outfit.  There is just one thing holding me back from making a pouchette purchase, where would I put all my stuff?  I'm the type of girl who considers hand sanitizer, a pack of Kleenex, Advil, mini-Swiss Army knife, gum, mints, etc. etc. amongst my absolute purse essentials and may not survive with the space these tiny purses provide!

Obsessions: Layered Pearls & Beads

I've been officially sucked into the new trend of statement jewelry (I blame it on J.Crew's "rule of three" and my lovely new obsession, the J.Crew Carlyle necklace).  I saw this massive display of long pearl and bead necklaces at Nordstrom this weekend, and I'm obsessed!  The sheer length of these necklaces is awesome in itself, but when you layer them they create such an easy, messy, yet flawlessly put-together look.
