Vintage Dots

Magenta Cardigan: Forever21; Polka Dot Blouse: Vintage; Geometric Shorts: BDG, Urban Outfitters; Leather Bag: Cole Haan; Shoes: Chucks; Navy Sunnies: Nordstroms 

My sister, who works in costume design, is visiting at the moment. 

She gave me this awesome vintage polka dot blouse from one of the sets. 

I love the collar on this blouse! The collar has an awesome shape. 

Once the fall season hits, it will look really great layered under a dress.

Put A Bow On It

Shirt: Sway; Shorts: BDG, Urban Outfitters; Loafers: Cole Haan; Clutch: Madewell; Hair Bow: Forever21

Yes, the title is a Portlandia reference...

except I am less of a bird person and more of a bow gal. 

I love my new Cole Haan loafers that I snagged at Nordstrom's anniversary sale. 

They are a great classic shoe that is comfortable and chic. 

One really can't go wrong when wearing a good pair of shoes.

Place of Work: Gumshoe

Being a style blogger, I would love to work in some crazy fashion house,
 living the ultimate glamorous life that comes with a fabulous job. A girl can dream...

For the time being, I have been working in an adorable children's shoe store, which has been an amazing experience so far. I have being learning so much about how a business runs,

 and most importantly what it takes to be successful in a fashion business.

I decided to bring my camera to work and took these awesome pictures of our merchandise
 (i.e. my personal favorites). 
Gumshoe has such a great selection of shoes for babies and children: 

Keens, Cole Haan, See Kai Run, L'Amour (just to name a few).

The best part about working at Gumshoe though is seeing a child walk out of the store with his or her new shoes on; their satisfied smiles are too darling.

I am such a sucker for a cute kid, especially when wearing even cuter shoes! :P

OF COURSE, I brought Poppy to work! I just loved him too much.
