We love Marc Jacobs (isn't it obvious?), and we love colorful flats, so we're sure you're shocked that we're highlighting this pair of mary janes - but can you blame us? The contrasting elastic strap is such a modern and comfortable take on the classic style and the candy apple red patent leather looks good enough to eat.

Mmmm...candy apples....

There's something so deliciously naughty about peep toe heels - add patent leather (in red!) and the sexiness quotient of these shoes just goes through the roof! That is why we'd probably never wear these Stuart Weitzman heels with a miniskirt or even tight jeans - it's just too obvious. But adding these to a more demure outfit? Now you're talking!

As we mentioned in an earlier post, this weekend we had a blister emergency. After a false start, Band Aids saved the day, but we still wandered into Banana Republic, like a zombie, to see if they had inexpensive backless sandals we could buy and wear out of the store.

We're shaking our heads at ourselves, even writing that.

Oh, please, admit you've done the same thing, possibly more than once. It's slightly less reprehensible when you buy the $4 red checkered material flip flops at Walgreens, but it's the same behavior. Blowing cash on an impulse buy is practically a national pass-time.

At last a Coach bag without that extra ten pounds of crazy brass hardware weighing it down. We've loved the style of Coach for years, but our little shoulders, or our habit of carrying everything in the world in our bag, kept us from ever getting one.

The company finally figured out that they're missing a target market, Bag Crazy Bag Ladies, and came out with a new line called "Ergo" which is short for ergonomic. Lightweight, soft, with clean lines, we're very tempted by these bags. They're still crazy expensive, but the Coach story has always been "you'll have it forever" so maybe that works for you. Prices and some pretty colors in the gallery.

When you check out the site, make sure to click on the awesome "Try this bag on" feature on the site. It shows you the scale of the bag on an average woman, both holding it in your hand and on your shoulder.
