The MBMJ Mouse {opinions, please}

So for quite awhile I have been intrigued by the Marc Jacobs mouse flats from afar but hesitant to try them for myself... now this variation has popped up on my shopittome radar on sale at piperlime with free shipping...

So I wanted to get some opinions...

Would you say:

1) Yes! Go for them! They are super cute and will one day be a classic, if not a conversation piece.

2) If you got them, you could only wear them to Disneyland/Disneyworld.

3) They're fine if you are under 8 years old, or over 80 and quite eccentric.

Thanks!

Black & White + Gold: OOD 5.15.09

New shoes in a box on the porch yesterday = wearing them today!

I didn't have much time or energy last night to put together elaborate Polyvores for my new shoes, what with an early evening school event and the RHNYC reunion show that started at 9 (missed the first ten minutes... ack) so very simple today... white cami, black cardi, new Revas, new F21 necklace.

Today = office, kids & house, the girls' ballet costume pictures, dinner out.  I think this outfit will work it all.  

Happy Friday already again... this week flew!

Here's a close-up of the fabbie F21 bib necklace I purchased a couple of weeks ago - I also saw it in silver.  It has really pretty cut-outs of flowers and butterflies and is a nice size - substantial but still delicate and not at all overwhelming.  Oh, and $5.80, so not a whole lot more than a Starbucks venti nonfat caramel macchiato!

Hello, Reva!

My new Revas just arrived from shopbop!

... now I know these are a pretty basic combination (black/gold), and who is buying black flats right now anyway, but I am so happy to have them!  I'll wear them a little now (and on the Paris trip) and then lots and lots and lots in the Fall.  TB ballet flats fit me a like a glove and up till now I'd only had them in orange suede and bright cricket green (plus the Amy pump in brown, which is a similar style with a bit of a chunky heel)... so these are a perfect addition to my shoe collection.  

Next shoe wish... the metallic gold Reva espadrilles!

Blue Jasmine + Rose: OOD 5.14.09

Soft and Spring-y today, despite the uncooperative weather.  I originally had some ON silver braided flops with this, but it's just too cold and windy and drippy out there and I need to get in for a pedi anyway, so I'll wear my shiny silver slingbacks.

I have all morning in the K again today and then the usual around the house.  Tonight... Housewives reunion part deux!!  I need to stop by the store for a nice bottle of Pinot Grigio in honor of Ramona and the ladies... any recommendations? (for a peek behind the scenes on Tuesday's show, see here)

And... Is it really the middle of May already?

Pink + Cricket Green: OOD 5.13.09

Alright, this is going to be short... I need to check out some recaps of last night's RHNYC and RHNJ before my little ones wake up, as all the craziness is spinning around in my head!  Anyone making sense of it all?  Cah-razy.

This morning I am chaperoning a Kindergarten field trip so going for comfy jeans and cotton (and an extra cup of Tony's Organic Cafe Carmelita), and super comfortable flats because I don't know how fast I may need to move!  My black TB Revas are still en route, so the happy Spring Cricket Green Reeses it is.

By the way, I sooooo enjoyed wearing my Olive Victoria yesterday that I am now  stalking the website for another color... no popbacks as of yet.

I hope everyone is in the middle of a wonderful week -  and also, today, I am wishing a very happy birthday to my sweet friend Lissa!

The J Crew pop art top is a M and very full and  flowy - I should have purchased a S or XS... but I still love the top!  The neckline has a drawstring that ties so is adjustable.  Paired here with a white ATL cardi, and Paige Jeans, TB Reese, $14 girls' watch from Nordstrom.

Well the F&F was only on full-priced merch... but if you saw something you liked in the 50% and/or 70% off sections, here's a code to take an extra 20% off in those categories:

It ends on Thursday at 11:59 PDT. I breezed through and spotted some cute Milly, Catherine Malandrino, Ella Moss...

Happy Hunting!

Golden Olive + Leopard: OOD 5.12.09

Today I am finally wearing the lovely Golden Olive Victoria that I stalked for weeks in J Crew's sale section. It was a popback - please see Gigi's glossary - and I was so excited to score it, but somehow just never got around to wearing it.  Well, Dina really rocked it last week so I'm inspired.  It is way too cool out there to wear it sans another layer, and while I would love to pair it with an olive-y cardi or sweater, I don't seem to own one... hmmm... so I am adding a black ATL Jackie look-alike and putting it over cropped white jeans with my new SM Seeri leopard patent sandals and we'll see how it goes!

A couple hours in the office this morning and then hanging out with the kiddos and house, organizing, playing and planning.  Happy Tuesday!
