The Wedge.

I am certainly a sucker for a wedge salad, but today, we are talking about the shoe.  Pondering back to my wardrobe choices, I rocked a wedge of some sort every day last week.  Then I looked back at some of the outfits that I have pulled together on this little blog, and there is a wedge in every single one.  Simply put-  the wedge is on my mind.
So, I have pulled a selection of my favorite wedges of the season.  I own # 7 and am in L-O-V-E, love.

Double Duty.

Last week was a tad bit stressful.  By now you all know that I carry this bag in the Summer.  Each night, as I rush out of my office to pick up the girls, I stash my laptop in my bag.  Well, it was one of those nights… Mike was out of town, we got home late and in between trying to help E with her homework and cooking dinner it wasn’t until I heard a crash that I realized Lou had climbed up on the counter to get a banana.  As I turned in fear, I saw it… My MacBook Pro sitting on the floor.  Luckily it was still in tact, but I was sitting on pins and needles as I fired her up.  The good news is that she worked.. the bad news is that it sounded like a helicopter was taking off in our kitchen.

So, after an overnight stay at the Apple Store, she’s as good as new.  (Umm, yes, a new hard drive and optical drive were needed.)  I laughed as my resident Genius told me that I should get a case…  Good to know, there are a bevy of stylish options to choose from.  Gone are the days of the black canvas bags for laptops… These babies are working double duty when it comes to protecting your electronics and keeping you in style.

Stephanie Johnson Cases.

Last year, my friend Aimee gave me this set of Stephanie Johnson cases.  I can’t tell you how much I love them.  The shimmery-orange snakeskin is absolutely perfect.  I have actually used the large one for an evening bag.   Stephanie has a case for everything, in oh so many fantastic patterns.
Don’t see one for you?  Check out the rest of the selection:

Here are the cases that made it onto Kiki’s List:

Get Your Goyard On.

The latest handbag to take Hollywood by storm is the Goyard Weekend Bag.  Gwyneth, Nicole, LC, and Tori have one.. Why shouldn’t you?

Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot… Goyard isn’t gifting each of us one.  Maybe you can add to it your Christmas list?…  I hope you are being a very good girl because the small will run you $940, and the large will cost a whopping $1,065.
Which color do you like best?  I love Nicole Ritchie’s white weekender, but I am also loving LeAnn Rime’s pink version.  (Waa, Waa… Limited edition, no longer available.)
  
Then I spotted this puppy, and I fell in love-  Purple and Orange and monogrammed to perfection.
Monogramming your Goyard isn’t a standard process.  The stripes and monograms are actually painted on by a Goyard painter trained in Paris.  Each of these options are considered an additional service, monogramming (up to 6 letters) is $165, and up to three stripes will run you an additional $150.
Here is Goyard’s offering of bags.  The Saint Louis is the most popular.
Can’t control yourself?  Call Leanna at the Goyard Store in San Francisco.  (415) 398.1110.  Tell her Kiki sent you!

Summer Staples.

Last week while in Austin, I picked up these two items at Zara.
I love buying summer items and pairing them with items that I already own.  Just the smallest purchase can update so many looks.   Three summer staples that I beleive every woman needs is a big gold watch, a functional straw bag and gold flip flops.  Here are some ensembles I have in mind that incorporate my new Zara items.  The three versatile pieces that go with either outfit are my Michael Kors watch, my Santorini bag (best handbag purchase I ever made!) and my gold flip flops (I don’t actually own this Tory Burch pair, but mine were a Nordstrom Rack purchase and look very similar.)
