Clever, clever. Displeased as I was with when presented with Blake Lively's blinding smile on the new Teen Vogue (where's the Leighton love??), all signs of crossness melted away when I flipped to the Love Song editorial. Soft tie dyes, lavenders, and blues mixed with leather and chains? Yumm. A closer examination of what seemed to intricately patterned booties revealed them to merely be ankle socked sandals. A brilliant way to tone down heels that might otherwise feel too nighttime for frequent donning. I love styling ideas that can be discovered in one's existing closet. Will try. Unlike the purple fur shrug in Exhibit C. Shudder.
