Kate Spade, You Kill Me

So, I have been looking at mom-appropriate bathing suits recently because I have signed Baby CP up for some swim classes.  Finding cute one piece bathing suits is hard work!  I scoured department store websites and a few other shops looking for acceptable options.  When I got home, I found a nice little mailing from Kate Spade.  You see, I have a love-hate relationship with Ms. Spade.  I love her stuff, but the price tags kill me!  I don't love everything, but each season there are one or two items over which I become completely obsessed.

This swimsuit looks perfect...high front, slight ruching but not over the top and low cut legs, lovely orange print...  I'm hoping it goes on sale, but given the dearth of cute one piece suits, maybe it will get sold out before I can get my hands on it.

In the meantime, I've ordered this much more affordable swimsuit from Lord and Taylor.  It doesn't have all the wonderful details of the Kate Spade one above, but it's pretty cute.  I hope it fits!

Friday Wishlist

In high school, I had pair of black lace up oxford style heels.  That menswear-inspired look, though updated, has made a comeback and seems to be in all the stores now.  Sigh...my teenage styles are being recycled already. 
Two things that I didn't have back then though....nike air technology in a pair of heels and the smarts to know that I should look for wider width shoes to save my feet from all kinds of suffering.  These stylish Cole Haan Air Violet Oxford Pumps are available in C Width.

Update:  This popped up today...20% off of these lovelies if you donate to Common Cents.  Sounds like a good deal to me.

Details are here.
