Dolce Vita for Target
Last fall, when Dolce Vita launched their shoe collaboration with Target, I was less than pleased with the square-toed flats and Doc Martin-inspired boots.While searching for toothpaste this morning, I stumbled upon their new collaborative line for spring. I was quite pleasantly surprised! The collection is small, but chic, and perfect for spring. I'm loving the cognac wedges shown in the middle photo, but I was in a rush this morning and couldn't commit. They're only $30, and would be a fun addition to my spring wardrobe.

Inspired by: Keith Haring
1.) The Keith Haring V-Neck Lovers Tee ($28)- Wouldn't this simply t-shirt look chic tucked into a pencil skirt?
2.) Keith Haring by Nicholas Kirkwood Collection- Nicholas Kirkwood plans to release a limited edition line of twelve shoes featuring Haring's artwork in February of 2011. These black and red pumps caught my eye with their subtle detailing--many of the other shoes are so over the top!
3.) Black Icon Clutch ($96)-Patricia Field collaborated with the artist to produce a limited number of plastic magazine clutches decorated with Haring's signature work. I love the combination of black and white with accents of purple.

City Flats
Shopping at Gap is hit or miss. I'll walk into the store and either instantly find 10 things I have to have or leave empty-handed, questioning who in their right mind would shop there. Fortunately, right now I'm loving their inventory, which is great for my closet and even better for my pocketbook.
My latest find is the brand's City Flat. This simple ballet flat is split-soled, unbelievably comfortable, and at $40 a pair, well within my budget. I went with gray, this fall's go-to neutral for my first pair, but I'm fairly certain I'll be back for the purple. Each pair folds down into a carrying case, perfect for tossing into a bag as a just-in-case pair of comfy shoes.
I like to think of them as a Lanvin look-for-less. The style is simple, but the quality is excellent. Made of 100% leather, these shoes are breathable and the elastic doesn't dig into my heel. However, these shoes do run slightly small- I had to size up to a 9 from my regular 8 1/2. If you're looking for a pair of well-made affordable flats, these come highly recommended.

Europe’s Autumn Girl Accessories For Fall: Handbags, Shoes, Jewlery & Gloves
Yes Fall is just around the corner. Alas if we are lucky we will have a glimpse of an Indian summer breaking into September up into early October. But still as the seasons change so does our wardrobe. I always feel a tang bit sad when fall comes around. The leaves start falling, awaiting the colder months ahead. But, I do love the colors of autumn. Which are rich in bold reds, sienna browns, yellows, and greens. These are the colors we can gain inspiration from! Even lilacs and lavenders, and blues are pushing forth their awesome colors. In the jewelry and accessories department. But what has Europe got going on in the fall department? Let’s find out!
THE FALL SHOE
High Boots
Knee-high or over-the-knee styles are best paired with mini lengths and go great with wool mini skirts. These long boots will take lightweight dresses into winter. And the Soft suede styles in the palest of hues are the feminine choice of the season.
THE FALL HANDBAG
Baby Bags
Wheter it’s Perspex boxes, pompoms, or frilled leather purses. The more fanciful your bag, the better! Don’t reserve these handbags just for evening outings - these little gems deserve to be displayed all day!
THE FALL JEWELRY & GLOVES
Costume Jewelry
From chunky wooden beads, giant Deco cuffs, and bold neck pieces… Jewelry comes super-sized! As long as it makes an impact, anything goes.
Gloves
Experiment with bold colors or try glossy black leather. The perfect glove length? Ending halfway up the forearm.

Sole Searching Shoe Designer to Watch: Scorah Pattullo

Scorah Pattullo started out as a London shoe boutique opened by Johnnie Pattullo, an ex-model and actor, and Frances Scorah, a former buying director at French Connection. But with the help of Danish designer Rikke Hjelde (formerly at Alexander McQueen) they've launched an incredibly cool range of classic-looking shoes with a twist—from lace-up pumps to velvet platform sandals. Their buckle-down shoe booties in glittery star-printed suede and soft winter-white leather are currently setting our hearts aflutter. And we're not the only ones taking note: Marios Schwab (who scooped the Best New Designer title at the British Fashion Awards) tapped Scorah Pattullo to create the shoes for his spring collection.
