Fashion Friday: You say High...I say Low...

Our newest fave (almost not quite but hopefully soon) trend is the mullet hem. Well that's not really what they are calling it but we are.

Nina Ricci 2010...tdf!

But it really is like a mullet....party in the front and business in the back...

Maybe it's from spending countless years in our wrap ballet skirts that are short in the front and long in the back... that we can't get enough of this (hopefully upcoming) trend...

Or it could be our crazy obsession for the genius, Raquel Allegra's unbelievable long tailed webbed tops that we can't wait to wear these next few amazingly super well researched picks...

But what ever it is, this delicate look is yummy!

While perusing new items for our ever growing closet we came across this super perfect springtime frock from Mink Pink (heart you MP).
Throw on a pair o' booties or slouchy pirate boots with this mullet dress and ...hello cuteness!!

Not super sure about the dress above? MP makes a TDF top for you...woo hoo!

Sooo good...so dramatic with out being "Hey look at me...aren't I cool?" Yeah we are talking to you fake hipsters...otherwise known as McGipsters in my house...

Pair this top with a great mini and flip flops or studded cons or cute OTK boots and you are...say it with us...RTG!

Now for this next piece o' el trendo de mullet Nightcap Clothing gives it to us hard and strong....just the way we gals of Things We Heart like it....

Oh...PS ignore the bad and super contrived styling in this photo. This rad dress is practically begging to be worn with Doc Martens or flip flops. Easy Breasy....

Oh Mr Alexander Wang...just when we were beginning to think you could only do basics or hard to wear Denim and Leather jackets...you give us this uber sexy and fashion forward blouse.
We love how dramatic the back is mixed with the red and white nautical-esque silk fabric. Thank you for reminding us how much we heart thee....

Now this next dress/tunic is not for the faint at fashion... Morphine Generation's rad ass printed tank dress is just that...rad.

We are still trying to figure out how to suggest wearing it...not really loving how they did it above but maybe with tights and high booties and a cropped jacket? Hmmm...

Dolce Vita (love them and they have great shoes!) let us step in easily to the mullet dress.

The cute print matched with the gentle mullet hem is the perfect sundress (well we could do with out the cap sleeves but who's perfect?

This dress called and asked to be paired with some rad new gladiator sandals or low top studded cons for summer. We said ok...

If you are not ready for your mullet coming out party...try these 2 tops to get your cute tootsies wet.

Seneca Rising...we are sooooo on your band wagon. We have a few of your dresses and can't wait to add this mullet hemmed tank to our collection.
Uggghhhh...we super love the styling here! Couldn't have said it better ourselves! This top would love to be with a great pair of harem trousers too btw...

This Urban top really let's you off the hook easily but still hints at a mullet.
It is so pretty and off at the same time it's perfectly imperfect! This would have gone gorgeously in our Ballerina post!

Got a super cute dress at home that maybe a weird length (like calf length..trust us no bueno on anyone...unless of course you are Kate Moss in combat boots or Miranda Kerr) take it to your local tailor and for $12-$18 they can give you the perfect mullet dress!

You're welcome!!

PS This is an example of how NOT to wear this trend...too '90s...

Come on..you know you love the mullet..well at least the clothing kind...

Fashion Friday: Just a Romp(er) in the park....we heart Rompers/Jumpsuits...the grown-up kind

We've said it before (a few times) and we will say it again...We Heart Jumpsuits! (no it is not Spring 2009 when we did this amazing post...I think it was our 3rd post ever!)

Jumpsuits are for sure back in a huuuuge way and hopefully for us they are here to stay!

Stolen from Polyvore.com...thanks!

Last year only the brave put them down their runways...this year the shy took a brave pill because they romped down 70% of the runways from Stella McCartney and Tibi to Karl Lagerfeld and Lanvin (they also had our fav last spring).

Lanvin Sp/SU 2009

Yes, it does take a daring person to try one on (I mean come on...you are totally nekkid until you slip it up...) but once you do...you will scream out (in a good way) I heart Things We Heart!!!

They are super versitile and easy to wear...just take your time picking out the best for your body.

Here are a few of our faves for Spring 2010...

Oh! P.S. We found the ones we can all afford...as you know we are recessionistas-ish so we wont torture you by only putting in ones Super Models wear...

You're Welcome

Stolen from Hipcandy.com...thanks!

We looove Jumpsuits (rompers, playsuits what have you) in the day time...unexpected but totally cute and easy!

OK so Karl Lagerfeld give it to us with this sick ass pink leather romper...

Since we are drooling and can not have it for daytime hotness....we found some you can have!

Hi there heart playsuit from Topshop....What's that you say? You belong in our closets?

Yup...you do...that is why we are going to have you!

This belongs with some cute Oxfords or bright ass sandals...

Easy breesy should be the name of this super cute romper from Free People...

Slip it on...throw on some slouchy boots or combats and honey...you are gonna be the one we stare at and and to kill (in the most loving way of course)

Geez louise Cynthia Vincent! You had us at 80's-esque printed cropped leg pink jumpsuit!

And you got it right!

Looove it! This may be a wee bit tricky to figure out how to rock but once you do...you are golden!

Coachella here we come!!!!!!

Dolce Vita's uber cute jumper is perfection for ANY daytime (and some nighttime) event...whether its just shopping or pairing with some knee high riding boots at a music fest or simply some flip flops (not the wedge kind) it is perfect!

There is nothing like wearing a JS to an event, dinner or party...sooo chic...so classy...soooo good!

We are freaking over this f'n ridiculously insane one from Erin Featherson!!!!!

Ugghhhggghh...But have no fear...here are our nighttime faves from designers we can actually wear!

"Oh this old thing? Hahaha I have had for years"..."Why thank you! Yes it is effortlessly chic and unbelievably sexy..."Oh..I don't know who made it...L.A.M.B. maybe?"

Yes mo' fos it is from the gorgeous Gwen Stefani's line. Someone may have this one coming to add to her line up and she is EXCITED!!!!!

How cuuute is this sweetheart necked, tuxedo-ish short jumpsuit from the "King" of jumpsuits Greyantics by Grey Ant...

LOVE! Pair with some sheer tights (or none at all) throw your hair in a A.Wang/ Miss Me-esque braid and you are GTG!

Going to a black tie affair or shmancy party but want ...no no...need to stand out? Grab this rad one from Wink.

Sex in the form of a classy jumpsuit! Done and deliciously Done!

Pssst...it's on sale! Throw on some gorgeous stilettos or sky high black booties and you will make Carrie Bradshaw fall at your feet.

Thank you to Twenty8Twelve for giving us this beautiful JS.

This screams beautiful summer wedding or elegant party in some amazing beach town.

Tan your gams and you are ready!

P.S. Stay away from those annoying stretch jersey ones usually found on Melrose Ave or W. Broadway from the cheapy stores (not that you have to spend a ton to look good)

But this post is about the ones done right...not the ones done wrong...

P.P.S. You will kiss us again and again after you embrace jumpsuits!

Fashion Friday: We heart rockin' the wedgie...well wedges (sandals not underwear malfunctions)

Hey lovelies...need a hot sexy shoe that's easy to wear, fun to walk in, make your gams look a mile long and won't kill your tooties like a stiletto?... Well you have come to the right place!

For $19.99 we can make you and your legs and outfit look like a million bucks... just 3 easy payments of $9.99...

Ooops... sorry waay too much late night tv... we digress... ;)

But seriously we meant the first part whole heartedly.  There is really only one shoe out there that can do all of that and even spice up your cuteness on top of all the others...oohhh and this amazing all in 1 shoe does one more thing too... you can wear it day or night with out looking like a street walker.  

Wow!  Still interested?  We are too ...so read on for the amazing...never out done...funtastic Wedge heel!  

VA

In the sea of beautiful wedge platform sandals, we bring you a select few for your viewing and shopping pleasure.  

Normal and  cute but still hot wedges are suuuuper easy to find... go in any shoe store big or small and you will undoubtedly score a pair at any price.  But finding a wedge that is show stopping and outfit making, and hot and sexy and sooo great every girl will be uber jealous in a good way is a whole different thing.  We are here for you.  

But be careful..mistakes are easily made.  Read on how to do a Wedge right...

TGIS (Thank God its Summer) cuz rocking any of these beauties is easy and fun in the sun! 

First up..these yummies just scream please take me home and let me make every single outfit you own up a notch.  Thank you Michael Kors for these ridiculously cute Danger wedge. The amazing bright patent yellow will add that extra ooomph to anything.  
How sexy is that toe and um...wow... that cut out in the heel will make anyone drool and faun over your cuteness!

And if you are just a tee shirt and jeans gal, these will make the entire outfit.  Easy peasy but soooo cute! But pair with shorts and a drape tee and you are on a whole other level of radness.

Really Marc Jacobs, really?  Come one really?  A HEART cut out wedge heel?  
Whaattt!  Wow. Mr. Cutie Bean Jacobs and his team have created a beautiful strappy nude wedge with the most fantasmic heart heel.  There are no words...none except find us these! 

These may be on the more shmancy side (not because they are Marc) but the nude strappy front and delicate (HEART...sorry it's soo good) heel are really best suited for a night on the town... on a special date, paired with a bright colored mini dress or maybe even under a wedding dress!  Right????  They are actually like a beautiful Mullet...they are the definition of business in the front and party in the back. 

Watch out Spice Posh... you do not need a 5-6 inch spike heel to be fierce (we never thought we would use that word here). These gorgeous, architecturally perfect Guiseppe Zanotti wedges are soooo great!  
The gladiator front is perf and will just wrap your hot legs in love.  But then...surprise!  Turn to the side and wow!  Grab a drapey LBD or a super cute white sundress and pair with these and you are instantly chic and RTG!

These maybe a little tough in the day time (but day time party these could work) due to the super exaggerated heel (sorry, I know we said day and night...but these were too yummy to not post)

OMG the cuteness that is Harajuku Lovers!  

Kelly Green, espadrille heel, nude ankle wrap uber high wedge?!?!?!   YES!  These were actually the inspiration for this post.  We were lucky to get a sneak peak at the H.L. for Kitson Summer windows and were super excited at all the crazy cute platform wedges they had.  

How great would these look paired with denim cut offs and a casual tank.  

"Wow..look at how hot and tall that girl is.. she's sooo cute and put together!"  But see...no one will know it is only because of the cuteness of these shoes.  Take them off and you are just another beauty in cut offs...but once they are on, you are uber!

Oh and these come in all black..yum and a suuuper fun version with a sunglass heart on the toe too! TDF!!! (To Die For)

OK, but you may saying... yes T.W.H. gals, I do like a wedge...but I am a lil' tougher than those other wedges.  I like things with more of a fashiony edge.  I'm a little over cute and pretty but I still lurve a trend. 

Have no fear...here are the ones we have been waiting to share with you... the piece de resistance....

The all in 1...Sweet Life by Dolce Vita wedge, gladiator, bootie, cut out lace up ...umm I guess shoe?  

So hot, sooo bad its good, soooo wrong its amazingly right, yummy and super naughty but totally wearable!  

These will go with literally anything and spice the crap out of it ;). Leggins and drapey tank? Yes.  Skinny jeans and a tee? YES.  Flowy sundress. Yes please. Shorts and any shirt. Um YES! Try any combo and these crazy wedges will do the trick.

Need a great, fun, sexy wedge that will actually be your go to heel?  The boys will drool and p.s. so will the girls when you rock these Betsy Johnson wedges.  OOOHHH! I actually felt a flutter when I saw these and just got super excited as I was typing... 

Hello cuteness to the 3rd power!!!!  

Only BJ (hee hee) could do these and make them oh so wearable.  Snake detail, striped bow front, painted raffia wedge are sooo cute it hurts! 

Dear Betsey... why are you sooo rad?  Imagine wearing these with skinny dark jeans and a cute tee and cardigan!  The most simple uniform for us girls but these will make it into a must do and much repeated go to outfit. 

 I feel my credit card crying.  SHHHH...Visa...shhh.  These are worth it!  Visa you know how much we heart bows and snake and totally wearable shoes...PLEASE give us a break!  We promise we will wear these a lot and they will go with anything!

Oh and P.S. the light almost nude ankle strap won't cut off your gorgeous gams...

So please, oh please have fun with this trend.  Try to steer clear of the safe wedges and go for fun!  We promise it will be worth it.

P.S. Aldo has our some of our safer favs right now... go here to see and so does Vic Secret and Steve Madden for our hot recessionistas... oooh and so does Bakers!

P.P.S. Here are some examples of what wedges are No Bueno! But we are sure you already know... but just in case you forgot

NO!

SUUUPER NO

As if we even needed to say NO

DITTO

So get out there, get a wedge, show off your legs that you work soo hard on and say screw you stilettos!
