magazine monday: marie claire may 2012

i never believed that the cover of a magazine could really sell me on it, but while searching in the airport newsstand for some plane reading material, i couldn't help but see zooey staring right back at me on the cover of marie claire! immediate purchase. no thought required. well here it is- my favorites from the newest marie claire for magazine monday!

what are some things you have bought on impulse?

if i were a shoe...

i cannot get enough of the shoe brand Seychelles. period.

i wore a pair of Seychelles black peep-toe heels to my rehearsal dinner and my mom wore a pair of Seychelles white peep-toes to my wedding!

Seychelles shoes basically embodies every aspect that i love in a shoe. they throwback to an earlier era while still staying unique, romantic, feminine, and modern. what else could you ask for?

their spring collection proves this to be true- with each shoe i browsed, my heart skipped a tiny beat...
