Q:  Hi Amanda,

I love the simplicity of the J.Crew shoe! I've been following you're blog for some time and just love following the latest and greatest!!

I love your Aldo Gersten wedges sooooo much but can't find them anywhere because they are last season. Any ideas or something similar like it? I love the ankle wrap design!

A:  Hi Jen!
 
Thanks so much for your sweet comment.

Like you said, the Aldo Gersten's are from a couple years ago, so they no longer carry them, however, I have found a couple similar options:


 Jessica Simpson   |   Liliana  |  AMI Clubwear   |   Diva Lounge



Bamboo   |   Rick Owens   |   Quipid  |   AMI Clubwear


PS - Aren't those Rick Owen's to die for?!  Ack!  What a price tag though.

Smart Set denim jacket, F21 tank, Bongo jeans, Aldo wedges, Cutey charm bracelet, gifted bangle & Pandora bracelet 

While getting dressed yesterday morning I pulled out my pink denim pants that I haven't worn since Christmas 2010 (and that was the first time I'd wore them after they sat in my closet with tags on for close to six months).  I'm not sure why, they just didn't scream at me to wear them (I certainly wear my red pants quite a bit though).  However, after pulling this outfit together, I think these pants are going to get a lot more play.  I felt so good in this outfit and although pink pants aren't something I've seen others wearing, that just might make me love them even more.  

Are you rocking the coloured jean trend (yet)?
  
Now the fun part: Cutey contacted me and asked me if I'd be interested in owning one of their charm bracelets and hosting a give-away for you (my uber wonderful readers).

I was pretty pumped as this was before Christmas and before I got my Pandora bracelet.  Since I wear my Pandora everyday (so rare for me with any jewelery, but I love it that much), you can see both bracelets in the photo above, however, Cutey charm bracelets are fraction of the price and already come with several charms on them!  They even have different clasp styles to choose from (depending on the bracelet) so you can pick your favourite, too.  This is definitely something I would wear frequently and layer with other bracelets, a watch, even my Pandora (as I am here).


Want to win one?

Entering is easy:
* Visit the Cutey website
* Leave a comment telling me what your favourite piece is (+ your email address)


Winner will be announced this Friday!
