Planet Blue Black Label Dress, Michael Kors Watch, Vintage Aviators, Urban Outfitters Bag, Steve Madden Platforms

The lovely ladies at Planet Blue gave me this dress a couple months back and I’d be lying if I said I’ve been wearing it sparingly. I reach for it every time the weather cooperates and can’t get enough of the low-cut back, flirty length and summery pattern. Though I usually pair it with canvas Tom’s, I made the mistake of wearing my new platforms (that look identical to the Miu Mius I posted here) on an all-day shopping excursion with my mom. I always seem to forget that her energy levels exceed those of myself and all of my friends combined.

    I ordered these from a Steve Madden store last week in Colorado of all places!! I wore them out last night, everyone was freaking out. They are called the Melrow & this store also has a wedge & vintage looking ankle strap that are also made in Cali!! Unreal. Call them at 303-331-8358, they said they only have a few pair left they’re selling out.

  • Annie

    Oh my bought these at the store in Cherry Creek…totally loving them, they had a couple different versions all amazing!!

  • Rachelle

    Thank you soooooooo much!!! I just ordered both the natural and brown from the Steve Madden store in Denver. The girl there was awesome!! Said they just rec’d a new shipment this morning and already sold half the order. Anyone looking better call them fast. 303-331-8358

    just to brag off a liiiittle tiny bit..just got new shoes..only 7 cm heel and a comfy flat bottom..— http://www.kronkron.com/index.php?acao=itemDetail&type=&brand=53&item=2060

    I really like em..brilliant Icelandic design and I recommend you check out the whole line —- http://www.kronkron.com/index.php?acao=itemsByBrand&type=&brand=53

    I blogged about them ones..(http://olofkristin.blogspot.com/2010/03/kron-by-kronkron.html)..not as interesting as the shoes themselves..just thought it was interesting that I was talking about how much I wanted a pair..and then now I got one!

  • Laura

    I just found the shoes on Steve Madden where you can pre-order them. The style name is Melrow… this took me a week to find! I’m glad I checked back :)
