I would just like to say that Keds has always been (in my mind) the dorkiest brand ever.  My grandma wears Keds- ’nuff said.

However, lately they’ve been collaborating with some impressive designers to make some stylish shoes (especially for men). The first two images are the only Keds shoe for women that I’ve been really impressed by.  The rest are for men (but could be worn by women too!)  Unfortunately some of them only seem to be available in Japan or in online Japanese shops… what’s up with that?!

I totally scored these today at Urban Outfitters for $19.99.  Sah-weeet!  Although some assholian person had gone through and mismatched all the pairs (an right 8 with a left 10, etc.) so looking for my size in both left and right was a challenge.  But worth it!  Nice Memorial Day Sale find.

I pretty much always wear flats (since I’m 5′11″) so this works for me!  I rarely love a sequined dress, but I am enchanted by this one from 3.1 Philip Lim.  The colour palette is perfectly like confetti, don’t you think?

How much do you love GAP recruiting much beloved designers like Vena Cava and Alexander Wang to do khakis?  I really love that so many designers are doing diffusion collections for Target, H&M, and GAP.  Good move all around.

Vena Cava + GAP:

For those of you gentlemen out there who think “I’m too broke to buy my lady a ring” whether it be for a proposal, a replacement ring, or an anniversary, I’d just like to point out that there are lots of little goodies like this out there.  Especially on Etsy! At $32,  it won’t break the bank.

I am so excited.  A few weeks ago I fell into want with this huge, torso covering Intan Necklace from By Malene Birger.

Today at a thrift store I found this one, which I actually like even better (partially because of the $5 price tag) and because it’s a more versatile size and much more authentic:

Oh my.  This show was beautiful.  The lighting, the setting, the hair, the makeup… you name it.  I loved the 20’s glamour and softness.

I love how sweet this little necklace is.

These are not my size, but I think they’re so amazing.  I would totally try to win them if they were!  Liz Claiborne used to make some rad stuff.  One more day left…
