Cutesy Tuesday: Topshop Sindy Sandals

 

Hot Pink

Inspired by fashion from years gone by, you have timeless style, Polly Proper, and your shoe wardrobe shows it. Today, nod to the 1940s with a pair of classic pin-up-inspired peep toe sandals, like the Sindy by Topshop. The big satin polka dot bow conjures thoughts of a more innocent time, and the peep toe is sweetly sexy. Yet the 5 inch heel vamps them up to the current millenium. These pumps call for a pencil skirt, but they’ll also make a pretty pairing for your favorite jeans (rolled up, of course). Also don’t be scared to wear them with a lavender hoop skirt.

When it’s time to slip off your white gloves and sip a spirit or two, you can’t get more classic than a martini. You like your drinks a little sweet, though, so try a TY-KU Superfruit Martini. With a wink, ask your bartender to mix 1 oz TY-KU Soju, 1 oz TY-KU Liqueur and a splash of cranberry juice. It’s less than 100 calories, so you’ll be able to keep that waistline trim. Oh, and though you may not taste a lot of alcohol, TY-KU is a bit of a prowler. It sneaks up on you, so stay ladylike and sip slowly.

Cutesy Tuesday: Ruthie Davis Sushi Combos Revisited

Sushi Sashay

A few months ago, we let you know that Ruthie Davis (a footwear fave of celebrities like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Taraji. P Henson and many others) was releasing a "two-for" line (see here). Now that it's too cold to don flip-flops for your commute to and from work, her Sushi Combos REALLY come in handy. Besides, you're too put-together for flip-flops or non-matching flats anyway. The clouds and/ or rain (depending on where you're located) today may have you feeling a little blue. Navy patent platform peep toed mary janes (and their flat partners) are just what you need. Try the Davis by Ruthie Davis Edamame/ Sashimi Combo (available at Endless.com). The red and purple accents add the pop you need to pump up your mood. Plus, the rubber strap provides a futuristic twist (wouldn't be a Davis pump without some futuristic pop).

What goes better with sushi than sake? This drink might look like a run of the mill martini or cosmo, but it's actually a Leblon and Sake Caipirinha. Made with Leblon Cachaca (Brazilian rum), Ty-Ku Sake, raspberries and lime juice, it's a semi-tart concoction with a kick. (And it brings out the red in your heels. Wink, wink.) It's so tasty that you may want to have a few, but remember, a lady sips and doesn't guzzle. If you can consume slowly, you can avoid the fast track to embarrassing situations.
