ISABEL MARANT S/S 2013 Trainers

I'm so in love with this season's Isabel Marant sneakers.  This time she has gone all out and is releasing several different colorways.  Their style names are Balesi (Denim), Baya (Calfskin leather), Bayley (Suede with a star design), Wila (Suede with outline) and Bekett (Suede)! LUISAVIAROMA is fully stocked for pre-orders! Get yours quick because they are selling out fast.

Isabel Marant Doris Linen Tee

French fashion designer Isabel Marant's RTW and shoes have become wildly popular over the past few seasons.  I've been eyeing her linen tees for the last few weeks and finally bit the bullet and got one from Barneys.  I'm not proud of the price I paid, but it was totally worth it.  It is definitely not your average tee.  I love the scoop v neckline, the longer cut, the asymmetrical hem and the flattering cap sleeves.  She's pretty much perfected the t-shirt! There has never been a t-shirt that has made me so happy! Now I'm waiting for the other colors to make it to the first cut sales and will probably treat myself to those too.

The one I purchased was the Doris tee in rose pink is now sold out, but for F/W 2012, Ms. Marant has a new style linen tee called the Rider.

Missing Summer..

What I wore over the summer.. Siwy Camilla Shorts in Loveless and Isabel Marant Dicker Boots in Taupe.  I love pairing these boots with mini skirts and shorts.. I think they look the best with bare legs.  So it's booked.. we are going to Orlando in August before DS starts school! I'm excited.. big changes up ahead and we are moving! :)

Isabel Marant Dicker in Taupe

Ugh, just when I nearly paid off my credit cards, I tack on another item and a couple more.  This time it was somewhat justified since they seem to be the HG of boots this fall.   I took a chance and placed myself on the waitlist at Lake Boutique even though they told me there were already two people ahead of me waiting for the only two pairs they were receiving.  I ended up getting a call last week saying one of the ladies did not reply back! Woot!  Now I've got to make a trip down to the cobbler to get them resoled even though the Dixie has held up pretty well after a few wears.

ETA 6/30/12 The Isabel Marant Dicker Boot is available khaki and black in all sizes at Matches Fashion!  Free worldwide shipping for orders $310 and up with code "FREE06".

Leopard

I totally forgot I bought this pink leopard tank dress from H&M a while back and finally found it while digging through my clothes.  Decided that it was too much leopard and threw on a white tee to turn it into a miniskirt. I put on my Isabel Marant Dixie boots (which I'm still very in love with) and called it a day.

Isabel Marant Dixie Boots

I know the Dicker boots are all the rage right now, but I opted for the Dixie because of the lower heel height.  I'm in love! These boots are so versatile and can work with shorts, skinnies, dresses, and skirts.  Ordered them from Matches Fashion and the service was superb. Though I would have loved a pair of the taupe color, I ended up with the brown since it's a little better at being stain resistant. I'm adding black Dickers to my wishlist though!

Sizing: I am usually a 6.5 in American sizing and the 37 fit perfect without socks.  If I wore athletic socks it would probably be too snug.  So for half sizes I recommend going up to the next full size.  Also, the Isabel Marant Dicker boots are back in stock at Matches for only $420 with free shipping.
