Tiny Finery: Gifts For Baby

Inspiration for today comes out of need.  Lucky for me, there have been three special babies born in my life, not to mention a very special girl in my life who is newly expecting! Each one needs a gift ASAP. Baby gift shopping is actually my favorite thing to do, but this personal shopper, hasn't found the time to do so. So thank you for being there to help me get the job done. I hope you find something you love, too.

Spring Shoes ~ Fit To Be Tied

This year we can all be wrap stars with the slightly sexy and little bit sweet style of the season. I happen to love the look, but ties can be tricky. One has to make sure that they aren't "too much" with what you are wearing. This Spring you can find fun flats and stunning stilettos that are all laced up. Here's a roundup of my faves with something for every budget.

Jimmy Choo Henni Suede Sandals

I just couldn't love a shoe more. The color blocking, the striped block heel and the rope lacing all adds up to fabulous footwear.

Virginia Ankle Wrap Sandals
These are my faves of the edit. Perfect to wear with almost everything. Love the block heel.

P.S. There's also a taller heel available. Click HERE
