One New Yorker's two cents on the daily opportunity of style
…except that I’m working.
But maybe you’re not! In which case you should go, drink and shop Built by Wendy’s fall collection at 20% off. I went to the Spring Collection Party, and I can’t remember what I was drunker on, the drinks or the dresses. Or maybe it was the pencil jeans…anyway, just go.
The Built by Wendy Fall Collection Party

This morning, faced with the prospect of getting dressed to head out for brunch, I was having issues. The early morning’s downpour was followed by seemingly clear skies, and I didn’t know whether to reach for rubber boots or my less moisture-friendly leather ballet flats.
I strive to be properly dressed for all occasions, and all weather. This means I’m a forecast-checker: you won’t find me ruining suede boots on a rainy day. But who wants to clomp around in wellies when it’s sunny? It looks stupid, and rubber isn’t exactly breathable (= some very sweaty socks).
Unfortunately, it wasn’t until this afternoon when I clomped into Opening Ceremony that I happened upon these lovelies, a gift from the God of Versatile Footwear:
Do you see these flats, by Melissa? They’re rubber, but felted rubber so they look velvety, not like a tire. Plus, the peep toe means they breathe!
And I can breathe easy when the clouds roll in.
The Melissa ultragirl flats (available in red, pink and black) are being reordered by Opening Ceremony and should be in the store in a couple of weeks. Call for more details.
