Z for Zanotti

Am I the only one with a Zanotti crush? It can't be..A 'crush' won't do my feelings justice towards Zanotti. 3 months ago, I woke up and decided Zanotti is my new obsession, i'm sure no one would blame me seeing all the beautiful heels i'm sharing with you below.

My next purchase? Is definitely a Zanotti..still not sure what i'd be getting..so many options, yes i'd like to have them all..greedy..much?
Enjoy the gallery below and develop your own 'Zanobsession'!

Zanotti - Sketch Spring 2013  
















I came across a quote that i've seen on a bag that I really liked:
'Shoes make me happy. I'm superficial. Whatever.'

Fringe Action

We're getting fringy this spring / summer! Forget studs for a bit, i'm not over studs yet, but fringes are growing on me. I've bought my first fringed wedge sandals from MNG 2 weeks ago and I cannot get over them.
Be edgy and work your fringe attitude this season. I've looked up a couple of pieces that I found interesting and would definitely buy.

What's interesting about fashion now is that it's a combination of different eras. Fringes were the it thing in the 20's with all the gorgeous beady and fringe dresses. While in the 70's, there was a hint of suede fringy outfits. And i shall not forget the 90's, where we also saw fringe action that included jeans and denim.

I like to keep it simple yet edgy when dressing up; in case of fringes, i'd go with one fringed item to enhance my outfit and make it stand out. Choose your piece whether is was a poncho, skirt or heels and balance your outfit accordingly with a plain colored jeans, t-shirt or flats when choosing a fringed piece.

One fringed item i'd like to buy? A bag. I've come across lots of fringed bags the last couple of weeks that I've liked. Suede totes in camel tone. Make sure if you're wearing a fringed bag not to wear more fringes in the outfit. Wear the bag with jeans and a plain top and flats for a morning outfit. Uplift your outfit with heels for a lunch date or an afternoon outing. If you feel experimental, go with a checkered shirt, shorts and a fringed bag. Pair that with booties or some flats.
