PFM Obsession: Flats Loafers & Oxfords, at Target!

Bravo Target, my love for you keeps growing! Sometimes a girl just wants to add to her collection of flats for fall, without breaking the bank. Done and done. I'm appreciating the whole look for less aspect...who doesn't like getting designer style at affordable prices? I became so enthralled while shopping online that the first two pairs somehow ended up at my front door (how did that happen?) and I have to say they are super comfortable. Hint- look for the "buy one, get one half off" deals that Target often has. The only difficult part for you my friends will be deciding which colors to get! xoxo Becca

1. These Mossimo tassel loafers bear a striking resemblance to this pair from Dolce Vita...do y'all agree?

2. Wear glittery gold oxfords with everything from a pleated skirt to boyfriend jeans and a tie-neck blouse. At least, that's what I'll be doing! Madewell has a stunning option here, while Dolce Vita offers a non-sparkle version.

3. Two-tone and cap-toe are both classic styles that aren't going anywhere for a while...just ask the fashionistas at Shopbop and check out this pricier patent pair by Sam Edelman.

PFM Confessional: Most Memorable Fashion Moment

my "new" pair of docs

my most memorable fashion moment is when i got my first pair of Doc Martens.  i had a pair of the low steel-toes and i loved them.  getting my Docs was a defining moment for me.  they symbolized so much more than just a new pair of shoes; for me, they symbolized "cool" at one of the best times in my life. 

it was the early '90's and i was in high school in the lower east village.  being a queens girl, it was my first introduction to life in the city.  i was instantly drawn to the village-inspired fashion and the quickest way to be "down" was to get a pair of Docs.  it was the first time i practiced the tried and true method of adding one statement piece to change my whole fashion perspective. oh and it did!  just like that, i looked and felt like i belonged.  ...but i can't think about Docs without thinking about all the time that i spent in the the Village roaming around from 8th street down to W. 4th, walking all over and in between.  i spent hours in the store Unique that used to be on Broadway.  i had countless numbers of Haagen Daz cookies and cream ice cream shakes from 8th street (yes, back when i ate dairy lol).  my girls and i enjoyed people watching (especially watching boys :).  i was young, wild and free.  yes, those were the good ol' days.  looking back, i have to credit this fashion moment as my most memorable and most influential! xo sesheta

PFM Obsession: $esheta's Spring Fresh Five - #1 Rose Gold Hardware

...and the #1 spot goes to...drumroll please... rose gold hardware!!! i am officially in lust with  this trend.  rose gold hardware has been showing up on all the accessories and it has truly struck a chord with me.  i love copper and this is a close sister to copper.  all our fave designers are doing combos of leather and/or metal and rose gold.  i truly believe this may be a unique trend that hasn't come back around.  either way i am hooked.  the below sample pics of rose gold accessories are just the tip of the iceberg, but i definitely find myself wanting more... 

Alexander Wang is right on trend and who can resist the Rocco bag?!

soooo cute! this Linea Pelle belt is the perfect finisher for your favorite outfit!

I love these Michael Kors rose gold sneaks!!

Michael Kors got this combo of gray and rose gold  perfect!

hope you enjoyed my Fresh Five.  stay tuned for our Fall/Winter installment featuring hot picks for the season!! xo

PFM Obsession: $esheta's Spring Fresh Five - #2 Anything Cobalt

ooooo... cobalt!! this pretty blue makes everything cool.  anything cobalt lands at my #2 spot and it's easy to see why.  seeing this shade just makes me totally happy.  i sure wish i could intuit some lottery numbers the way i am able to pick up on color trends!! two years ago, i was determined to find some flats in this beautiful shade of blue and it was near impossible.  now my love of cobalt can be satisfied in soooo many ways!  all i can say is aaaahhhhh... :)

this is soo gorg!! leave it to Foley & Corinna to make a beautiful bag!

patent pointy Bre flats from Pour La Victoire

Becca's love affair started with these Gap legging jeans and i was hooked right after!

a bright blue blazer can brighten up any outfit.

PFM Obsession: $esheta's Spring Fresh Five - #5 - Sandro Albatorock Sneaker

when getting ready to post, i planned to post a list of all the current items that i've been drooling over and get it over with in one shot.  then i thought it would be much more fun to do a countdown.  basically, i will have a series of posts that will make up my Fresh Five list.  

i'm starting my list at number 5 with these hot kicks i saw on Saturday.  while shopping with my friend at Bloomies, i saw these studded high-tops from Sandro chilling under the clothing rack.  once home and stalking them on the internet, i found out that they also come in a pretty taupe-y beige suede but my first love is the black versions.  i could totally see at least three outfits with these but i would have to defer to a comfy tee and some patterned skinnies.  ooo, i would soooo love to take these home with me, but with a price tag of $600, they will have to remain as a distant love. :(

 stay tuned for #4!!
