AMKxSM

AMKxSM is Mary-Kate and Ashley's Olsen's latest Collaboration with StyleMint. Harper's Bazaar had this to say about the pairing:

Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen have more than proven their fashion prowess in the retail arena, hitting nearly every price point successfully. Their latest venture, the fourth collaboration with StyleMint Studio Series is a capsule colleciton of accessories called AMKxSM. The Olsen-designed costume jewelry is comprised of minimal, delicate pieces that speak to the current state of bijoux at an insanely approachable price price point, i.e. $30. The collection hits stylemint.com on November 1.

They're sure to be a sell out!

In a Flats State of Mind

To be specific, I'm in loafers and oxfords state of mind. I actually want a nice slip on and a monk strap like those in pictures one and two. The problem is, when buying either style, I really need to try on a couple of different sizes for just the right fit. I recently ordered Sam Edelman's "Kollins," which I have return. I sized up for the length, but it's too wide. I've always had fit issues with loafers and oxfords, so most often I prefer buying them in-store. I'm going to check my local Dillards for Sam Edelman's "Kalinda" and "Balfour." I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
