As of today I have been with Disney for a week and a half. It is everything I could have imagined, plus more! Today a few of the interns got together to go ride the Tower of Terror, it marked my first day being in ANY DISNEY theme parks. In honor of that I got a 1st time visitor pin! See below:
If you haven’t ridden the Tower of Terror put that on your list of rides to ride! It is awesome!
Side note it was SUPER HOT so I suggest later in the year or at least when the sun goes down!
Ok, on to my save & splurge shoe, I decided to add how I would wear the shoe in different types of situations. This week’s splurge shoe designer was suggested by a dear friend— Casey!! This budding PR rockstar is pretty amazing! Follow her on twitter @411_PRincess.
Ahoy, matey!
A nod to nautical shoes can go wrong pretty quickly so tread lightly ladies when you try to match these shoes with your outfit, jewelry, bags etc.
Splurge:
Miu Miu two tone Patent Leather Platform Sandal is a beautiful versatile summer shoe. This shoe can go from work to fun appropriate in .2 seconds.
Here are some of the deets on the shoe:
· 6 inch heel
· 2 inch platform · Designer color name: Bianco
The shoe was originally $509.00, but now it is $359 (Still a splurge on an intern budget)
You can buy the shoe at this website, which I love….http://srz.me/TTMiuMT
How to wear it:
*Work
-Navy sheath dress, think our First Lady Michelle Obama’s staple dress, & a structured blazer or cardigan depending on your location.
*Date
Satin/Sateen navy shorts & boyfriend blouse tucked in (I think a very soft pink would be uber pretty) chunky bracelets & an understated ring. (Who knows this date may be the one where you get THE OVERSTATED RING)
*Brunch with the Girls
Ok, this is with the preface that you just came from church because these shoes are a little TOO fly for just brunch! I see a flowy knee length skirt with a cardigan (some type of floral applique optional) & a structured button up short sleeve/sleeveless shirt. I’ve left out the color choices because I couldn’t commit to the one I like best, but just stick with soft, girly, feminine. Can I just mention that mint green in a small way keeps coming to mind? As far as jewelry goes I envision pearls—LOTS OF THEM!
Save:
Okay girls the save shoe is by one of my favorite UK turned US suppliers ASOS!
This shoe is going to be pushing the budget of save, but in my hunt for a “save” nautical shoe I found they looked really tacky, boring, and SO not me—and I would never recommend a shoe I wouldn’t wear myself.
It is the ASOS POISON Platform High Shoe
Now this shoe may not be as work appropriate as the Miu Miu because of its unique platform & bold stripes, however if you work in a progressive office or in retail I am sure you can get away with it.
Here are some deets on the shoe:
Heel Height: 6 inches
Platform Height: 2 inchesThe shoe is $112.05
You can purchase the shoe at www.asos.com
How to wear it:
*Work
You’re going to REALLY have to calm this shoe down. I am thinking light tan wide leg pants, a crisp white button up and classic jewelry (silver studs & bracelet or a nice pearl set).
*Date
I see a strapless pencil dress, white or tan only—I think navy would be too contrived & almost expected. For jewelry I would think embellished earrings & maybe a huge staple ring or stacked bracelets mixed with gold and wood.
*Brunch with girls
I would love to see cut off shorts, a big boyfriend tee, a straw fedora with a patterned band and some Raybans—effortless.
Okay the last and MOST IMPORTANT statement…
All hail Queen B “4” 6.24.11
That is all!!!
Ciao
