Signed, Sealed, Delivered: Perfect Summer Sandals (and a diatribe about my love of online shopping)

So, I may or may not be a little bit moderately hugely addicted to online shopping.  It's not so much the purchase, as it is the hunt.  IMHO, online shopping is a skill, and while I may be naturally gifted (my father would be so disappointed to hear that), I also work very hard at it (by this point in the sentence he'd be hanging his head in shame--sorry, Daddy!).  I quest for the perfect piece at an even more perfect price, all from the comfort of my couch. 
Best. Thing. Ever.

But, I digress.  Shoes.  More specifically, sandals.
I had basically given up all hope of finding a pair I'd like.  I LOATHE my feet and hide them as much as possible.  Seriously.  I don't even own flip flops (which is dreadfully obnoxious every time I go swimming).

So, while I'd love to say I remained vigilant and all my hard work (bahaha) paid off, it didn't.  Instead, something far more wonderful happened--

I got lucky.

I was doing my usual patrol when I noticed that MyHabit was featuring Jil Sander Navy.

Be still my heart!

Beautiful, right?
Right.

And to make it even better, they were marked down from $330 to $69.  
I clicked 'Add to Cart' so fast my head spun.

Then I waited, tempering my excitement because Ihatemyfeetandthiscouldn'tpossiblyworkout.

Except that it DID!

And they lived happily ever after...



oh, and just in case you were wondering, the dress is Rag & Bone <3

With a Twist!

First, sorry for the hiatus, but due to some complications post surgery, the only clothes I've been around have been hospital gowns.  Womp womp.  Luckily, I'm back and feeling much better!

For my first post back, I've decided to try something a smidge different.  Instead of my standard wish list items, I'm going to share some pieces that have actually found a home in my closet!  

Anthropologie is one of my favorite stores. So, it's needless to say that when I got an email with 'SALE' in the header, I was all over it.  I found this dress, by Leifnotes, and instantly fell in love.  Sadly, it's not on their website anymore, or I would include a link.
I cinched it with it with the Roxanne Thin Rose Gold Plate belt by Nicholas I got the month before from ShopBop.  For the record, I am in LOVE with this belt.  I wear it with absolutely everything, and get tons of compliments every time.  Since I was walking around the city, I opted for a cute pair of Prada flats.  I got these on super sale from Nordstrom Rack about a year ago, and still heart them just as much today.  Also pictured is my Effie Satchel by Mulberry.  I carry it with me everywhere, so you'll undoubtedly be seeing it again.  Last, but certainly not least, I enjoyed the one sunny Seattle day without squinting thanks to my Rory sunnies by Kate Spade, featured in an earlier post.

So that's a wrap for this test post!  Maybe it'll be just the beginning...

Starting off with a BANG!

I absolutely fell in love with these shoes!


These Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent flats come in a 4 different color combinations, all of which are available after the jump.  My boyfriend asked me what I would wear them with...um...everything?
You can take a look for yourself right here!
