Christian Louboutin Ankle Boots

These Christian Louboutin python and nubuck ankle boots are the latest addition to my shoe collection.  I was lucky enough to snag them in my size during the Net-a-Porter sale.  They have a zipper going along either side of the foot, which makes them really easy to put on when you are in a hurry.  Also, they are pretty comfortable compared to some of my other Christian Louboutin shoes.  Black ankle boots are hard for me to say no to, especially when they are as big and platform heavy as these.  I know I will get a lot of wear out of them in both the summer and fall.

Crochet and lace shorts are everywhere so it is not surprising that they are the first pieces I pick out to wear in the morning.  I had these Stone Cold Fox chickie bloomers in white and I photographed them last year on Fashion Snag, but I always wanted them in black as well.  Planet Blue re-stocked with a ton of Stone Cold Fox items so as soon as I saw the chickie bloomers in black I snagged them because they were selling out so quickly.  Stone Cold Fox makes such beautiful pieces and they are very high quality. 

I wanted to do something different on top besides the usual loose tank top thing that is the norm so I took out my military colored satin Equipment blouse.  I love the oversized fit of these blouses and something about army green in satin form really offsets the feminine crochet shorts.  I tied the blouse up and rolled up the sleeves because it was 90 degrees out.  Sometimes I get jealous of all the layering I see other people doing in other parts of the country, but as soon as it is summer in Denver it gets really hot so out come my short shorts and other scandalous apparel.   

It is embarrassing to see how many Equipment blouses I own now.  I keep collecting more and I wear the heck out of them.  They are such great basics.  For shoes I wore my Ann Demeulemeester sandals that are part sexy, part utilitarian looking.  I have to say that Ann Demeulemeester makes some of the most comfortable Italian shoes I have ever worn.  I feel bad that I didn't get more wear out of these last year, but I hope to make up for it this summer.  They aren't narrow in the slightest and the heel is the perfect height.  I like everything about this sandal.  It is one of those shoes you have to see in person and put on your feet to truly appreciate.  I wore my large Chanel camelia hoop earrings that my boyfriend bought me in Las Vegas.  I cannot wait until my next Vegas trip in August. 

We are experimenting with video more and more so see me in action in this outfit set to some music.

Givenchy Coney Shoulder Bag

My boyfriend gave me this lovely Givenchy purse as an early birthday present.  I don't find many purses and bags that I really like, but this Givenchy coney bag caught my eye from the very beginning.  My biggest decision was whether I wanted it in all black leather, black and leopard pony hair, or white and leopard pony hair.  As you can see, I chose the black leather with the leopard pony hair.  This is my first purse by Givenchy and I am impressed with the quality.  I knew their shoes were gorgeous so why not try out their purses.  My friends told me that one day I would get into bags and I think that day has come.  I cannot wait to rock this little shoulder bag in an outfit post!
