SPLURGE VS. SAVE | Spring Jackets

via Zara

Now that spring is here, we can safely pack away our parkas and puffers (well, mentally anyway) and shift our focus to breezier fare. From bad-ass little biker bombers to classic trenches, I've rounded up splurge vs. save outerwear options for every spring budget in my latest story for W Dish...

Shoe Love: Zara's Gold Studded Gladiators

Isabel Marant sends one of her new It shoes down the runway for Spring '13 - photo courtesy Fairchild Photo Services

Not sure how it happened, but my current sandal sitch is totally de-press-ing. Once-cute flip-flops now look all worn out and while I have plenty of high-heeled sandals, they just don't work for my day to day. I've been on the hunt for the perfect gladiator flat since I saw Isabel Marant's Spring '13 show but have yet to find the perfect pair; Enter these studded gladiators from Zara. They're simple and shiny and a little bit edgy and, best of all, under $100. I can't wait to pick up a pair and live in them all summer - who's with me?

Studded Metallic Flat Sandals, $79.90, at Zara stores nationwide or online at Zara.com

Never Say Never

Chambray Blazer, H&M; White Shirt, Banana Republic; Scarf, Club Monaco; Belt, Banana Republic; Pants, Zara; Polka-Dot Socks, Winners; Shoes, Johnston & Murphy

When I first met my husband way back in 2000, I had a serious style challenge on my hands. He was like a badly-kept, beautiful old home, except instead of shag-covered hardwood and dropped ceilings, his gorgeousness was hidden away by a bowl cut and tragic Eddie Bauer pleated khakis. 

I loved him right away, penny loafers and bad 'do notwithstanding, and could definitely see loads of potential in his tall/dark/handsome looks, but wondered if he'd ever actually let me make him over. Here's the thing with guys - they don't like to ask for directions, they prefer to find their own path, get lost along the way, and take a really, really, long time to do it, and then eventually, 10 - 12 years later will finally come to you. And when they do, you will be there, armed with a pair of slim-fit trousers and a chambray blazer. 

This outfit is what I consider James' graduation day. I have taught him what I know over the past few years, and this morning, this is what he came up with ALL BY HIMSELF. #proud #sniff

I'd give him a cap & gown but I'd hate to cover up all of this hotness.

Happy Friday, y'all! Any fun plans for the weekend?

Hi Ho Silver

Laminated High-Heel Sandal with Ankle Strap, $59.90, Zara

Flat Crossover Metallic Tone Sandals, $79.90, Zara

I have a real thing for silver right now and was psyched to come across these silver pointy-toe mules from (where else) Zara. Lurv. And as sisterly fate would have it, rlr mini just bought the casual sandal version. What are the odds? Pretty good, I guess, considering we share similar fashion genes. I've been on a gold rush for such a long time that maybe it's finally time to sidle my way back to silver. Thoughts? Are you on Team Gold or Team Silver? It's a tough call really...not sure if I could ever choose...
