Spring Shoes Edit

In my last post, I wrote about all of the trends I'm looking to try this Spring. I touched on shoes, light-colored booties in particular, but my shoe inspiration this spring goes far beyond that. I have always been more of a "bag girl." While I appreciate a beautiful shoe, I don't love wearing heels. I know, the horror! That being said, I've definitely found ways around that predicament with mules, wedges. platforms, booties and flats, while still mixing in the occasional high-heel stiletto. Below are some shoes I have my eye on this spring. It's all about interesting sandals, colorful mules, textured wedges and fresh colors in old classics (still have my eye on some light-colored booties!).

Jewel Toned Seating

I am obsessed with white in the home but I am loving the pop of color that jewel tone seating offers. Whether emerald or sapphire, jewel tones are really spicing up living rooms, foyers and more.

Happy Friday!

I am particularly happy today because it is almost the start of a long weekend! And I just booked a trip to the Bahamas in February (insert sunglasses emoji here). A few other things that are making me smile:

+ This Buzzfeed article about gummy bear reviews on Amazon (died laughing at work)..

+Aerin Lauder saw my blog post about her and sent me the most thoughtful gift. As if I could like her more... P.S. I love the Ikat Jasmine

+ This puppy (and others like him)

+This book. Get it?? Tequila Mockingbird?? Love it

+ Knowing I have a bottle of Veuve in my fridge (thank you boss for the wonderful xmas prezzie!)

+ Chanel Pre-Fall 2014. Just because. Yea

P.S. Follow me on Instagram to see what's going on behind the scenes metropolitan_musings

Modern Muse: Aerin Lauder

If you ask me who I want to be when I grow up I may, without hesitation, say Aerin Lauder. She does it all. From her booming businesses in fragrance to home decor to makeup to dressing impeccably, Lauder (grandaughter of beauty maven Estee Lauder) is a force. Did I mention besides having her multiple Aerin lines that she is the style and image director for the Estée Lauder Companies? She exudes classic, timeless, All-American style in all of her endeavors and is the epitome of chic. She is at the top of her game - I die when I see pictures of her abodes and adore her new line of perfumes. I could go one and on and on... Check out her website to see just how fab she is (http://www.aerin.com/)
