Alexander McThey're back!



Oh I loved these in Alexander McQueen's (moment of silence) 2004 RTW. I just saw they made their way back into Vogue on Emma Watson's tootsies! Had to share my excitement for these thigh high nude mesh boots.

Why I love these



Sarong Shorts by Willow.

I love my legs, the front of them at least. Shorts are always tricky for me to wear since I am short and curvy. The back of my legs aren't my best asset (the first three letters of that word, might be though). These sarong shorts allow me to show a little leg but still flatter my figure by covering my not so great back thighs! I love these, and if they came in cream, white and grey, I would own all!
