I was super psyched when I was asked to attend the Spring Shoes store opening in Manhattan Mall. A sister store to Aldo, it was definitely one of my most anticipated events of the summer. I mean, affordable shoes? How could I not be excited. C’mon.

$69.99

The city’s biggest fashionistas and bloggers were jam-packed into the space to check out the Fall’s hottest trends in shoes, boots, handbags, and accessories for the fall season. Music was provided by DJ Reach, and delightful hors d’oeuvres and drinks were ushered around the crowded space. (Merci beacoup for the food, Indianna Catered Food)

$49.99

For me one of the best parts of the event was that each attendee was given a $150 gift card. Umm, free shoes for a bunch of press people? You can only imagine the chaos that ensued.

Spring Shoes offers similar styles to their big sis, Aldo Shoes and their prices were definitely right on! Shoes ranged from about $20-$120. Plus, they had all the newest trends like oxfords and booties that perhaps you won’t want to break the bank on (I never splurge on pieces I know I’ll only wear one season). There were bags too, some of them were definitely cute and a decent alternative to leather.

My purchase: $49.99. Obsessed.

People Stylewatch just enlightened me to these adorable bandages! The next time you scrap your knee you can dress up your boo-boo in 14 different designs from Cynthia Rowley! The fashion designer has partnered with Band-Aid on limited-edition “Dress-Up” adhesive bandages, with designs ranging from sequins and gold chains to a full runway show. The chic tins can double as an adorable display and cost $10 each, with a donation from the project benefiting Design Ignites Change, an organization that engages students in design and projects that address pressing social issues in their own communities.

Totally loving these band-aids!
