GOOD THINGS: [diy | paper cup | wreath]

i think this is definitely a cute DIY wreath made out for paper cups and some ribbon by Twig & Thistle. Of course the chalk board board is a nice touch as well. I personally would've loved to put the couples monogram in the middle of the wreath also, but all in all a wonderfully good thing!

LOOK FOR LESS: [manolo blahnik | sedaraby | pump]

Hello Lovelies!

This weeks LFL goes to one of the shoes the the show Sex and the City made famous, Manolo Blahnik's Sedaraby. You know that one where she wore them to a baby shower where she had to take off her shoes and one of the other guest took them?! So she made her friend pay her back for them.
This are so such a classic shoe that Steve Madden first released this shoe back in 2004 under their Steven line and to this today still have them under their Steven Madden line.

A friend and I purchased the Steven by Steven Madden version back in 2004 and the one thing I have to mention is the rhinestones. They way they are housed allows them to fall out fairly easy. So either keep an eye out for that and/or keep extra rhinestones around the house.

All in all its a very good look for less.

GOOD THINGS: [diy | flower | pin]

Today's Good Thing is this DIY fabric flower pin. I still thing a flower pin is a cute accent to certain outfits. A few years ago, i was actually going to buy one from Nordstroms that looks almost exactly like this one. Good thing i didn't because now I can make it myself with Made By Lex's How-To. love!!

LOOK FOR LESS: [azzedine alaia | cut out | sandals]

Hello Lovelies!

This weeks LFL goes to Azzedine Alaia's cut out sandals. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find the flat versions of the sandals online but i was able to find the high heel version.
For those of you that know Alaia, know that the cut out is what they're known for. The replicas are made by Joe's and Steve Madden. Obviously you get for what you pay for and when it comes to the replicas you can tell that 'Leo Cut out' by Joe's is definitely nicer looking than the Steve Madden 'Paiigge's'. But if you're on a budget and like the Alaia-esq look go for the steve madden, definitely a look for less.

LOVE: [esty | mauve rose | scraf]

LOVE this tie-die scarf with leather embellished loop at scoutandcatalogue's Esty page. This Lovely is called 'THE LASSO mauve and rose'. The only down fall is the price tag. $118 for a cotton tie-die scarf is a little steep for my wallet.

GOOD THINGS: [diy | pom pom | flower]

These are ADORABLE! I'm so in love with these DIY pom pom flowers. Super cute and they'll last forever.

You can also just make the pom poms and use them as decor or vase fillers. This is definitely a project I'll be doing soon.

WISH LIST: [pantone | capture | color]

This is absolutely genius and I want it. As a graphic designer, I'm always trying to pick the perfect Pantone color to match with something else. This device scans it and tells you which Pantone color matches with the color swatch you're trying to match to.

The only problem is that it'll cost you $649.

LOOK FOR LESS: [christian loubutin | almeria | espadrille wedges]

Hello Lovelies!

This weeks LFL goes to the Christian Louboutin Almeria 120 Espadrille Wedges.
The amazing replica is made by Vince Camuto and is exactly what I think a replica should look like. They kept the important details and made minor changes that you wouldn't be able to notice with a quick glance. This Espadrille wedge is perfect for Spring and Summer and for only $79, this is definitely a look for less.
