Seychelles Bette Flat/Wedding March Skimmers

Yes!!! They are finally here. I have been waiting and waiting for Seychelles' Bette Flat in Vacchetta to come back online in my size (size 7) and when they did, I ordered them immediately. I ended up buying them from Amazon.com since Endless.com and Seychelles was sold out and Anthropologie doesn't offer the color I wanted. They are such a great nude flat to have and can be worn with anything! I was torn between the Neutral (Off White) color or the Vacchetta, but Vacchetta better matches my skintone. I think that the Off White would have been too light (see photo on Anthropologie website model and Seychelles website model). They fit TTS, a half size up might slip on my heel. They do feel a little tight in the toe area but I think the leather will stretch out once I wear them a couple of times. I love the vintage detailing of the flower on the toe and the confetti-perforated leather. I love everything about this flat and can't wait to wear them. These will definitely be one of my go to flats!

Anthropologie Product Reviews - Dresses!

So I hit Anthro early this morning at 10am to get into the sales room. I was the first one in, and found a couple of skirts that were marked down, but didn't look good on me at all! The three items I wanted to get sold out online at 12am so I thought the store would have it. No luck. I can't believe I left Anthro empty handed today! :( I think that'a a first!

I did grab some dresses I've been eyeing online to review.
