 If I’ve learned anything from Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen it’s…
A) To start a multi-million dollar company while I’m still in Pampers.
B) To drink giant cups of coffee before and after yoga.
C) A good wardrobe is always made up of wearable pieces in a high/low mix.
D) This is a trick question because I’ve learned all of these things from the Olsens.
If you anwsered D you are obviously right a genius.

I like to invest in timeless pieces, things that are unbelievably unique or could be worn a multitude of ways like this Kanji top which I’ve been wearing a lot because it’s the perfect sheer Spring blouse.
But I think it’s better to save when you are buying a trend piece like neon jeans for example. 
That’s my own little philosophy anyway.
To that end I was stoked when Shoemint asked me to pick some favorites from their Spring 13′ line sheets.
I had so much fun styling them and I was excited to find these orange heels that look a lot like some pricey L.K.Bennett’s I was lusting after last Summer. It’s crazy how I’m a grown ass woman and still feel a bit awkward in high heels which makes no sense because they make my legs look skinnier and also make me feel somehow prettier. 
So even though I sort of felt like I was a walking minotaur in these, I also felt awesome and I’m going to once again make a resolution to wear.heels.more.often.
What’s your minotaur moment? Aka what’s that fashion moment you are dying to try but feeling a little reluctant about? To quote my good friend Drew Barrymore “Life’s too short not to be bold.”
