Pretty Little Thing in the Woods

Location: Somewhere in Lake Arrowhead

Just reflecting on Luke and I's spontaneous day trip to Lake Arrowhead a few months back. Really wishing he was already back from China. We both expected him to arrive tonight, but there was a bit of a mishap with his transportation from the hotel to the airport that resulted in him missing his flight. So there's that.

Nonetheless, I am so excited for his arrival tomorrow! I hope his jet lag doesn't get the best of him cause I want someone to play with! lol

Happy Monday everyone!

Derby or Oxford?

Hey beautiful people!

Originally I had discussed that my shoes were a women's version of the traditionally known Oxford, but in my recent finding, it is actually a Derby! The reason for this is the lace system.  What do you think my shoes are? Open or Closed lacing? It is open lacing! Silly me!

Quick Fact:

Derby's are also called Blucher, the terms are used interchangably without getting too technical. But there is a slight difference in the two if you'd like to know refer to this video at 2'30".

These babies are so easy to play with. Beige is a subtle neutral color, so you can definitely make it fun contrasting it with colorful socks or maybe ruffled socks for those who want to be adventurous with their palette. 

Here I paired them with Tommy Hilfiger socks that perfectly matched my "Bonjour" red shoulder bag. Matching small details such as earrings to belt, top to shoelaces, and as an example here, bag to socks, can definitely finish off a look.
