Shoe of the Day

J.Crew

With August coming to an end, so does summer footwear for many of us. So why not end it on a high note with a pair of bright, fun wedge sandals. Worn with a t-shirt dress and a cross-body bag, these wedges from J.Crew are a perfect way to send off Summer and welcome Fall (especially at those Labour Day BBQ's this week-end).

Nail Polish Pick of the Week

Sonia Kushuk "Smoke and Mirrors"

Silver nails are having a moment, and it looks like it's one that will continue into Fall. This one from Sonia Kushuk is very pearlescent and looks like liquid silver. Plus it's from Target, so you don't have to pay a lot to be trendy.

Shoe of the Day

Loeffler Randall "Zuri"

From Loeffler Randall's new bridal collection, these metallic lizard embossed pumps can take you beyond that walk down the aisle.
