Building blocks

Color block heels or spectators are a huge trend for the coming months and give your look that little extra panache when you're wanting to turn heads. Available in many different color combinations, these would look perfect with a dress or pencil skirt. Either way, I am on board!

No Common Man

Rapper and actor Common is known for his unique choice of headgear and style as well as for his conscious based lyrics. Now Common has lent his name to Italian based La Coppola Storta, an Italian company that handcrafts traditional newsboy toppers and reinvents them with a current feel. Common's goal for his line, Soji Rebirth is to bring back the old school tradition of wearing hats because as he says "a hat is another way to put on a crown."

They're at it again!

Revisit: ASOS

More great finds at one of my favorite online sites, asos. They have revamped the website and you can see great celeb "inspired by" outfits as well as create your own style. Make sure you change the currency in the top right corner to get the correct prices. Check out these accessories that are featured and most importantly the prices are reasonable!

Reminiscent of the Fendi belt I profiled. Oversized gem belt $22.15 (available in 3 colors)

Slingback platform $55.39 (available in yellow also)

This is an interesting shape, one that would not accomodate my figure but I like it.
