It all began when I bought this pair of Penny Loves Kenny shoes from Gilt last week.  Shoes that feature red so prominently are usually not my style, but I loved the way they looked on Gilt’s website (and were a steal), so I took a dive and got ‘em.

Most of my shoes–especially the fancy ones– are black and these feel like they are a bit impractical. However, the task is to be creative and make them work while channeling Tim Gunn.

After that, I thought I thought it was an anomaly.  That was, until I fell upon a pair of Moschino shades at the Off 5th outlet last week.  I was mainly attracted to their shape as I’m still stuck on the large frames trend.

Not feeling so glamorous, but love the shades!

When I picked up the frames and examined them closer, I noticed this heart pattern.  I just couldn’t resist.

Maybe it’s because Spring is in the air, so I’m actually acting on my craving for color?  Whatever it is, I don’t know if it’s going to stop anytime soon.

Do you ever buy things that aren’t normally “your style”?

Head Gear]]> http://www.clandestinechic.com/2009/11/10/head-gear/feed/ 2 Fits Like a Glove http://www.clandestinechic.com/2009/02/06/fits-like-a-glove/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=fits-like-a-glove http://www.clandestinechic.com/2009/02/06/fits-like-a-glove/#comments Fri, 06 Feb 2009 18:02:08 +0000 clandestinechic http://clandestinechic.wordpress.com/?p=206 be-bs4083_black_front1

I was just perusing the Nylon Magazine mall when I came across the Ben Sherman gloves above.   They were regularly priced at $74.99, and now they are $52.49.  Not too bad for nice leather driving gloves.  Yes, I know the winter is coming to an end soon (hopefully) soon, but these gloves would still look cool during a chilly Spring day with a nice leather jacket.

Here are some other alternatives as well:

FYI, it does come in raspberry as well.
