Summer Sandal Shoe Crush

Summer Sandal Shoe Crush

Fashionable
I have died and gone to summer shoe heaven. I love everything about this neutral toned shoe, enough to abandon my wedges for the summer (and by abandon I mean only buy 1 pair vs. two). These are the Jessican Simpson Kylie sandals. I need them in my life in time for LA/Vegas in May. I see them going with EVERYTHING. Jeans, dresses and shorts oh MY! So, I attempted to buy this shoe online. Macy's was having a one day sale and it was marked down to 66 dollars from 110! #SCORE! Loaded my cart with  my selected size (size 8) go to check out after looking at some dresses and my transaction kept getting kicked back. Turns out my size was not available. HOW RUDE!!! If its not…

MAMA GOT NEW SHOES!!!!!

Fashionable
I saw these shoes weeks ago and lusted after them, waiting for a good sale. I am ALL over the Jessica Simpson spring / summer collection. She has some nice pieces that need to be added to my shoe collection. I got these 98 dollar shoes for $68.  These are the Jessica Simpson Cheetah pumps! The same for these BCBG Estrella Pumps, I was eyeing them in Macy's since maybe February, and just patiently waited for my time to come! YESSS!!! I know exactly what I'm going to be wearing these with! This spring its going down (BASEMENT!!) Lol.

Shoe Score!!! OMG

Shoe Score!!! OMG

Fashionable
It was a shoe sign from above. Like when the heavens open up and the light gleams down on that must have item type of sign. A sporadic trip to DSW introduced me to the Zigi SoHo ... Can you say 6 inch heel and 2 inch platform. NUDE lace!!! OMG I'm in love love LOVE! Then it was told to me Zigi SoHo has a store right in NYC .. in you guessed it: SOHO!!! (for all you non-NY'ers, that means South of Houston {house-ton, not Houston like Texas}). Can I say I cannot wait to wear these! I mean, look at them in the store! Can you imagine them with skinny jeans? I tried them on again when I got home with jeggings (#dontjudge) and a brown turtleneck…

THE HOT purchase: Rachel Roy kaytee pumps

Fashionable
So, Friday night was Fashion's Night Out.. which if you ask me I'm still not entirely sure what it is .. but what it amounted to in NYC is live performances and and fun giveaways in the city that never sleeps.. I decided to take this opportunity to make my first trip to Macy's Herald Square to buy the infamous Rachel Roy Kaytee pumps that I mentioned previously ... It was a nice night out, I had a coupon for 20% off.. so it was going to be a win win for me! And OMG so it was!!! Macy's was awesome even though it was a wreck and I went to Carmine's Italian Restaurant for the first time and had some of THEE best seafood linguine of my line. BEST!…

Fashion Fix :: Kenneth Cole

Fashion Fix :: Kenneth Cole

Fashionable
The first thing I did when I saw these shoes in the Kenneth Cole store on Saturday was take a picture and tweet, "I need these in life". It's true. They are essential to a fall/winter wardrobe. If I save hard enough I can afford the $295 price tag ... I'm going to hope for a sale. Things are sooo much better on sale! Kenneth Cole Talk Tough These feature Kenneth Cole's 9-2-5 (too much to explain, but its supposed to make them uber comfortable.. Perfect for all day wear). They have a 4" heel, 1" platform, and an 8" shaft.. wait .. wait .. mmm .. I'm drooling just thinking of my winter in these boots. Must Haves!

So ... it's been a while since I've done a shoe post ... and these are THE perfect way to bring back shoes .. I low-key love fall because 1. the weather is awesome when its not raining because its not so humid. I love the brisk air in autumn .. and I LOOVVEE cute boots!

Meet Raphael Young's Autumn/Winter collection.  I don't know who this Paris based designer is, but I am into it. He has a big fall collection too, but here are my 3 favs. 1. If I…

Fashion Friday: 3.4.10 – Score for the Wallets!!

Fashion Friday: 3.4.10 – Score for the Wallets!!

Lifestyle
So, anyone who knows me knows that my two favorite things are sales .. and even bigger sales. I believe that anything is worth buying on sale and if you really want something you should try to find it for cheap. Only true emergencies call for full price purchases... Does this make me cheap or fiscally responsible? I'm still working that one out. If you were to ever meet me (for those who haven't) and perhaps tell me that "Oh, those shoes are cute!!" I might respond, "Yeess!! and I got them on sale @ _____ store" It's a bad habit. I can't help it and it won't stop soon. What that also means is that I spend plenty of time hitting the pavement (aka the internets) searching for good…

All Grown up : Dakota Fanning

Lifestyle
I've had these pics for a little over a week, but I just was so busy! I am sharing them now! Look @ little Dakota Fanning! I can't believe she is so old now! I was shocked when I saw her in the New Moon (Twilight Trilogy) movie! And even in Secret Life of Bee's I couldn't believe how tall and dangly she'd gotten. But these pics, for Italian Vogue, she is so big! Big as in grown up. I feel so old when I watch people grow up. I'm sure people feel the same way when they see me. You hear it all the time "Yeah, I remember when you were yay high" LOL? Idk what is up with these Lourdes eyebrows, but I guess that's Italian fashion.. She…

Fashion Friday: 2.5.10 – Pasquale Fabrizio

Fashionable
SO, apparently a girl really can have her glass slipper. It's just going to cost her 7,500 dollars!!!!!!! Pasquale Fabrizio, who is this UBER talented "shoe cobbler to the stars" has designed these glass slippers. I have never heard of Pasquale, probably since I'm not a star, but according to laweekly.com He once built a three-legged monster costume for two 300-pound wrestlers. He fashioned a steel brace for the shared third leg, so that one wrestler standing inside the suit wouldn’t crush the other’s foot. He built up the calves of Angelina Jolie’s Jimmy Choo boots in Mr. & Mrs. Smith to make them thigh-high, and he swapped out the heels — 80 pairs at a time — so she could run around comfortably during stunts. He duplicated Muhammad Ali’s…

Fashion Friday: 1.08.10: Fendi Baby!

Fashion Friday: 1.08.10: Fendi Baby!

Fashionable
In the back of my closet there is (and don't judge me) a pair of Lucite heels .. they didn't cost nearly as much as this Fendi pair of heels, so imagine my shock when I saw stripper shoes could be so damn expensive. These Fendi Khaki colored wrap /  platform sandals are making my heart melt. that 2 inch platform takes some practice to walk on, its not for the weak. Trust me! And the heel, is listed at six inches. UM.. WHAT?? Nina Garcia says you shouldn't go over 4. I break that rule often, but SIX?? I'll eye from afar. The FF logo is on the lucite platorm, and they will cost you $1553. Wow.

I am still on the fence about these Caged Boots I've been seeing all around. Something is just off about them, I guess its the whole . . .  shell thing?? But the shape and height of these boots is making me drool. I think I kinda love them! You know I'm a SUCKER for the platform. Christian Louboutin Coussin. Retail : out of my price range.

Fashion Friday 12.04.09: Deja Shoe, AGAIN!

Fashionable
The other week I was browsing through Macy's and saw these Guess Boot, Elize style. I thought they were so adorable! I liked the combination of leather and nylon. And the rubber platform. Then it hit me why I thought they were so cute (besides the 4inch wedge heel). The only thing doesn't sell me is the logo on the side. I'm so not into being branded. I have a pair of boots just like them! well, not exactly but pretty damn similar from last winter. And they are definitely my FAVORITE winter boots. Comfy & stylish. The JO boot by BCBGirls. I got this boot last year during Black Friday weekend, and was in love! It wasn't love at first sight though, more of the love you have to…
