I love a good thrift store find…you know those things you run across tucked far on the back of shelves that you could never really find anywhere else? Well I had two (TWO!) this weekend: a vintage pair of leather Cole Haan Country loafers and a beautiful pair of vintage white Salvatore Ferragamo flats. Normally, I feel kind of weird buying vintage shoes but these were just too beautiful to pass up. You’ll have to wait for the Ferragamo but here are my new loafers: worn in, rich and oh so classically prep.

So classic, so perfect. I especially love the silver detailing and the tassels. To wear, I paired them with a gingham shirt (also thrifted) and a wristful of silver jewelry…everything from Native American Artisan pieces to James Avery to David Yurman. 

Now off to make some of this (http://www.thefreshloaf.com/recipes/bananabread) and some of this (http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1910,150167-248204,00.html) for my class tomorrow.

So I’ve started incorporating my new Jason Wu for Target obsession into my wardrobe. Hey, if I can’t have the real thing (grad student budget), figured I might as well pick out and hunt down the best pieces of the collaboration. I didn’t love all of the pieces that went out, blush just really isn’t my color and there was LOTS of it in the line…but some of the pieces were absolutely ADORABLE! For example, the cuffed navy shorts below. 

I especially love the black detailing on the side, adds a nice touch.
