#balletflats

I couldn’t resist making a post about a new site I just discovered. One of Egos is an Italian manufacturer of minimalist dress shoes for men and includes a number of ballet flat and mary-jane styles. They currently don’t have sizes and prices on their site, so I’m not sure if they custom make or are just getting started. They do a really good job of showing off their shoes and styling them so…

As summer begins to wane, I feel nostalgic, with my current favorites reflecting this. Whispers of late summer.

A delicate printed chiffon slip skirt feels like a nod to my younger days.  I wear it almost like a piece of art, pairing it with a simple white tank top.

Summer always evokes memories of books, as many of my favorites are set in the season. The scent of old books in Bibliothèque by Byredo sweeps me into a literary escape.

I recently stumbled upon a Cartier Panthère watch at a pawn shop, and on its back, I found an engraving. Wearing this watch feels like I’m linked to its storied past and the love it once symbolized.

Sunburnt cheeks from summer’s sun always awaken a sense of nostalgia for me. The tawny hue of Magnolia by Stila is everything.

I discovered the Franco Sarto Vana flats. While I usually gravitate toward black shoes all year round, I followed a feeling of romance.

You know that rosy, sun-kissed glow your lips have after enjoying popsicles in the sun? Victoria Beckham’s Bitten Lip Tint in Cherie captures that same juicy, just-bitten color. 

I recently came across Bonnie Clyde Rollercoaster sunglasses. Their oval silhouette and sheer green lenses feel both personal and timeless.
