Of A (Vintage) Revolution

Ever heard of Vintage Revolution Jeans? I recently tried a pair, being intrigued by the murmurings of their impeccable fit and cool washes. Having to of course be slightly off kilter, I decided to forgo traditional blue denim and selected these khaki cargoes which did fit like a glove and felt kinda like I just won the lottery. They are rugged yet finished, and soon to enter my closet rotation of bottom favorites. All denim is priced from $118-$148, which basically means you get a premium pair of jeans at a price that actually makes sense.

Carlos by Carlos Santana Has the Perfect Black Pump

by Julia DiNardo

A killer pair of black pumps is just so essential to one’s wardrobe. They transcend season, and don’t mind being paired with your work suit, although they would prefer to be matched with a slinky dress for a much needed night on the town. My black pumps of late are the Carlos by Carlos Santana Queens Pumps in Black Vintage, which features a round toe, one-inch platform, and traction sole. Plus, the Queens style is on sale right now! Get 30% off the original price of all seven of the prints and colors, making them just $62.30.

A Payless Flats Extravaganza

by Julia DiNardo

Z London Glitter Flat, $24.99 (loving that they have a “sidewalk sparkle” quality to them!)

I’ve always said that one can never own too many pairs of flats…and still stick to it! They are just so practical and constantly come in handy – plus when was the last time after a long day and tired feet you fantasized about slipping your foot into a pair of six inch stilettos? I wouldn’t recommend wearing flats every single day, as a little bit of heel actually can be good support and help your arch (just ask my podiatrist), but a few days a week, a super cute flat is a must. Take my latest two as a prime example- one fun and girly, the other sophisticated and chic, and both work appropriate. Thank you Payless BOGO, for helping me rationalize to add even more flats to my collection!
