Atlantic-Pacific Inspo

Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific is truly the OG fashion blogger influencer of our times. There’s not a style blogger that I know who does not at least reference one of her outfits as an inspiration at some point. Majority of the time Blair’s outfits can be too whimsical or too colorful for real life and better as editorial moments, but once in a while, she’ll post some fashion pieces that makes you go “wow, that is super cool!” or “wow, I didn’t know those colors go well together!” or “wow, that is just perfect!” 

Well, here’s my favorites from her Instagram lately: 

1. It’s the pearl-accent detail of her sandals that are “super cool!” to me. Like where/how does she find this stuff?! 

2. So my impulse buys during after-holiday clearance sales involved acquisition of some burnt orange coats, but I have been at a loss at what colors to wear with burnt orange hues. This dress of Blair’s is making me consider wearing lavender with burnt orange… “didn’t know those colors go well together!”

3. It’s also refreshing when Blair wears casual clothing. I’m obsessed with the color and cut of her jeans here…. “it just perfect!”

Forever 21 craze

Ok, I really think I'm going crazy at Forever 21...never before have I been so obsessed with their online goods...this time I'm on to the flats....

  

Pointed Faux Suede Flats ($24.80 - Fuchsia) and Pointed Retro Flats ($19.80 - Aqua)

Neon Toe Ballet Flats ($16.80)

Reminds me of Ann Taylor Elizabeth cap-toe flats last year.

I am envisioning all sorts of fashionable outfits with these statement flats...

(Alright, alright, no more looking at Forever 21 since I'm suppose to be limiting my spending right now, but may come back to these styles later on).

Found my cap-toe

I'm so happy that I am checking-off items on my 2012 wish list! One of the items I've been longing for is some pointy cap-toe shoes. Finally found mine on Amazon for only $30! I wish they have more sizes available if you ladies are interested in them, but there are only random sizes left here or here.

Franco Sarto Rich-Burro/Black

The outer beige part is made of leather that is very soft to the touch, but sturdy on the inside. Patent cap toe is man-made.

I ordered size 5.5 M with my fingers crossed (since I'm normally a true size 6). Luckily, they fit fine. A little pinchy in the toes, which is expected since they are pointy-shaped, and a little stiff on the back of the ankles....but I think overtime, they will loosen a bit to be more comfortable. 

Evidently, the black cap-toe is an oldie fashion hit. Found this picture of  Jean Shrimpton looking very modern in the 1960's?

Yummy chocolate/fuschia Bertie Mal flats

 FYI: I heard these run large. So if you are a true size 6, try ordering size 5.
