So when I was getting ready for the Swarovski event Tuesday night, I knew I’d be basing my outfit around this amazing bag. All black. Colorful accessories. But nothing to take away from the clutch. So here it goes…

Loving the Brian Atwood clutch on this sweet Swarovski ottoman!

The event was really cool. I love the new windows and let’s be honest…how can you not love being in a store that sparkles?

“Jules For Mom” Custom Jewelry Event

There’s nothing more meaningful than a personalized gift, and even better when it’s one made by a local designer! If you’re looking for the perfect Mother’s Day gift…look no further.

On April 28, Jules Schwanbeck of Jules jewelry will be at Mark Shale helping guests customize her very popular initial ID necklaces. Customers can select not only the lettering, but also the shape, style of chain, and metal.  In addition to personalizing accessories by Jules, those who spend $300 or more at Mark Shale will receive a gift with purchase!

Because of the endless number of combinations, each necklace is made to order and customers can expect to receive their custom jewelry within 2-3 weeks (in time for Mother’s Day, of course). Jules will be available all day for meet and greet, product knowledge, and ordering assistance. She’s super awesome and her jewelry is amazing so I definitely recommend checking it out!

Event Details:
Mark Shale (900 N. Michigan, 3rd Floor)
Saturday, April 28
10am-5pm

20 Years of Red Soles

To celebrate 20 years of red soles, Christian Louboutin launched a special edition 20th anniversary collection. As you can imagine coming from someone like Louboutin, this collection is over-the-top and statement worthy. However, some of the styles are even a little too much for me!

You be the judge…

PhotobucketRose Du Desert leather knee sandals

Seems like something Rihanna would try and pull off…and would ultimately fail.

PhotobucketPigalove patent-leather ballet flats

Seems like something Alexa Chung would try and pull off…and would succeed.

PhotobucketNeuron 120 suede cage sandals

These are actually pretty awesome. No complaints. Unfortunately I’m assuming a Kardashian already owns them…

PhotobucketIsolde 160 patent-leather sandals

I call these the Momsen. You know why.

PhotobucketArmadillo Bride 120 leather pumps

No armadillos were harmed in the making of these shoes. They’re kinda like Beetlejuice gone upscale, no?

PhotobucketUnzip Booty 100 suede sandals

If these were in black I’d be ALL OVER them.

PhotobucketHighness 160 Platform Peep Toe Heels

Beyonce can wear these while performing on stage, at a basketball game, or even running errands with baby Blue. These look like they’d be her “everyday shoe.”

If you could have just one pair from this 20th anniversary collection, which one would it be?
