Here’s the dialogue that went down recently between my husband and I surrounding the purchase of these hot shoes from Michael Kors…

Upton Ankle Crinkle Patent / Suede Black Shoe $150

Husband: Did you buy another pair of shoes?

Me: Yes. (Obviously – he’s groping the box)

Husband: These are black. How many pairs of black shoes could one woman possibly need?

Me: (No Answer)

Husband: Well??

Me: Oh, I thought that was a rhetorical question.

Husband: Seriously, do you need these?

Me: Well…much like your kind needs to watch sports, followed by recapping what you just watched on SportsCenter, talk about sports incessantly, dream your knees and back were in their original condition so you could still play sports, record stats on every sport – in every condition – in every circumstance – for every moment in time, I need shoes. And just like you prefer talking, watching, breathing basketball, I prefer black shoes. A black shoe for day, for night, for dinner on the town, for dinner in New York, black shoes that are a little flirty, a little Vegas, a little mommy, a little high – but not too high, a patent black shoe, a suede black shoe, an office appropriate shoe, a “meet your mother” type shoe, a comfortable black shoe, an uncomfortably high pair that hurt-my-feet-but-I-love-them shoe.

(Sigh) Maybe you’re right. Maybe I don’t really need these.

Husband: What? Honey, wait ’til the commercial. The game’s on.

You may have seen the wrap outside the new store just across from Michael Kors at Scottsdale Fashion Square.  ILORI, the upscale sunglass boutique, opens this weekend offering limited edition and exclusive sunglass styles for men and women. The designer list and the celebrities seen in them are most impressive. From iconic brands including Lanvin, Tom Ford, Ralph Lauren Purple Label, Thakoon, and a select list of emerging sunglass designers, this eyewear boutique coins itself as “More than sunglasses, ILORI is treasure brought to light.”

I’m excited to try on sunglasses that may cost more than my first mortgage.  I’m also excited that my friend and fashion guru, Jeffrey Evans, is the Boutique Manager. Jeffrey called me to tell me about the opening and the company he is excited to work for.  In just two years, the ILORI concept has grown to open its 21st store here in Scottsdale. The boutique has been featured in every magazine from the Wall Street Journal to InStyle. To read more about ILORI and to see their current lookbook, www.iloristyle.com.

Here are some of the current sunglasses from the iloristyle.com…

Lanvin, an ILORI exclusive $1500

Badgley Mischka Limited Edition "Perry" $575

Chanel Denim Wrapped $290
