Everything on the By Paige site is 15% off, including the adorable baby booties and the needlepoint ballet flats (I just got the turquoise and zebra and have gotten ridiculous complements. And no Mom, you can’t try them on.) Consider stocking up for Baby Shower Gifts. (On the baby booties, not the ballet flats. Although I’m sure any expecting Mom would be pumped to get cute new shoes for herself, too. At least I would.)

I’ve been more than a little disappointed with Vera Wang’s collection for Kohl’s, plus it’s pretty pricey (for Kohl’s at least.) But it’s all on sale now, so it’s a good time to give a piece a whirl if you’re so inclined.
Thanks to Meg’s fab friend Kathy for the hot tip!

Some readers sweetly requested to see wedding photos and here they are (finally!) It was so fun to get them last week. Not only do we love every single one (of the 1500 he gave us!) but it was amazing to relive the day. It’s true what they say about it being one big (wonderful) blur!

I’ve lamented about my love for Muji before. I discovered it right after I graduated from college and moved to London. At a time in my life when I was making peanuts (after all, I should have been paying them to work at British Vogue. Or at least that’s what they thought) I couldn’t believe how well-priced such sleek and fabulous products were. Sadly, I moved from NYC right before the new SoHo store opened. Happily, the MOMA store online sells a sweet selection of goods. Enter 8P105 at checkout for $10 off purchases of $100.

Yes, yes, this is old news. But I had to mention that Pierre Hardy’s capsule collection for The Gap (in Europe!) is gorgeous. Strangely, the American Gap site doesn’t tout the shoes as his, rather they’re filed under “European Collection.” But they’re his. And I’m hoping a pair will be mine.

I swear I’m not trying to rub in the fact that it’s ridiculously sunny and beautiful every day here. I’m just trying to help those of you in the cold have something to look forward to come Spring. (Really!)
They’re available in silver (shown), gold, and bronze. All will look appropriately lovely with pink painted toes.
