thanks mom!

left my parent's house the other day with an unexpected gift.  my mom gifted me this pair of christian louboutin sandals that she had picked up some years ago, but had never gotten around to wearing.

i couldn't believe my luck since the two piece sandal is all the rage (witness Phillip Lim and Alexander Wang).

i love the gold detailing on my new CL pair (especially the gold metal heel), and couldn't resist wearing them out to work today paired with black zara cropped pants and a silky purple marc by marc jacobs blouse.
