a celestial affair.


Zara fit & flare dress | Coach signature tote | H&M sequined scarf | Steve Madden xtra sequined wedges

To say that my latest obsession is with anything sequined would be quite an understatement. The dazzling accents  make any item a showstopper. They also remind me of a wide, open expanse at nightfall, with the stars commencing their waltz. So imagine my delight when I saw these sparkly suede wedges last week. In a nano second I had coveted them and knew they already had a place in my shoe collection. It also has been a purging weekend for the endless universe known as my closet. During this astronomical feat, I discovered this dress from the Zara A/W '10 collection and this stellar Coach purse from a few years ago. I fell in love with them all over again. Now with my closet having a catharsis, and the planets seemingly aligned, it is almost fitting to go ahead and work on putting the nebula nail art on my nails like I was planning on eons ago. Hopefully, I will embark on that task and show you the cosmic phenomena sometime later this week.

You look so, so cute!! I adore this dress on you - I actually tried this one on, but it was too short for me - scandalous! ;) But is perfect on you! And those wedges?! Insanely perfect!

Melo said...

Love your shoes and the dress, you look so pretty :)

SWK said...

Those wedges are sooo cute! I need to add them to my wish list. Steve Madden makes the stylish shoes...

LyddieGal said...

Glad to hear you did some closet purging before your purchase - and found such a gorgeous little dress in there! I love the vintage cut.
I too have a weakness for anything sequined!

For someone whose blog (and other sites) carry a celestial theme, I can appreciate the usage of "celestial" to describe this look. Those peep-toe platform wedges are just amazing! Your beauty literally sparkles with this lovely outfit and the many sparkly accents.
