Love the Outfit

Hey Lovelies,


           
Forever 21 Color Block Knit Dress                             Montego Bay Plaid Slingback

          
Hematite Bangle Bracelet 6-Pack               KATHY Van Zeeland Belt Shopper



Today I felt like truly basking in the Spring spirit!  I put together a short sweet and yet simple outfit with some of my favorite things in my closet.  I have provided links where you can check out the items just click on the above pictures.  Please keep in mind some items may not be available anymore or you have to hunt for them since a few pieces are a couple of years old.  Otherwise if they are available it could be just in other color combos.  So if the items that the link provides isn't the same it should be very similar.

The only thing missing from the outfit that I wore were nude colored stockings.  What's great bout the Forever 21 dress above is that you can wear it with stockings, tights, leggings, skinny jeans, shorts or just paired with your fresh glowing legs all spruced up for the sun.  What I have always loved so much about Fashion is even though there are rules, they are challenged to be broken.  Express your unique personality and you can do no wrong.  All that matters is you feel great in what you look in.

Take for example the outfit I had on a few days ago was black leggings, layered green and white camisoles, brown corduroy jacket, brown ballet flats, champagne sterling silver studs with gold bangles.  It sounds bizarre to some mixing brown and black let alone how tacky it may seem with gold and silver.  But in all honesty it looked nice and sheik!  I will be sure to take a picture next time I have a similar situation in outfits but you all get the drift.

I hate forgetting to take pictures when you have a great outfit, face or hair-do all put together.  Don't you hate missing a kodak moment to capture memories?



Well I hope you enjoyed my simple outfit that I just adored wearing yesterday.  I would love to hear about any outfits or piece that just made you feel like the belle of the ball.  Perhaps a pairing of items or colors you thought even at one point in time were just strange together.

Drooling Over Christian Louboutin Heel-tastics!

Hello Lovelies,

Sorry didn't get to put up the other deals along with contests and more last night.  >.< My computer froze right when I was saving the draft.  I shall be sure to post it later tonight if not tomorrow morning.  I have been putting a whole new meaning to Spring Cleaning today LOL!

Now there we’re in Spring and swiftly moving into Summer it’s time to bust out those great bold and vibrant colors.  Put some splash in your baby!  Recently I was browsing through my e-mail and came across Neiman Marcus’ Pre-Fall Introduction for Christian Louboutin.

There were 2 pairs that I absolutely love and 2 from the Spring Collection that just call out my name!  Lets take a look at the 2 Pre-Fall pairs that I just adore first followed by the 2 Spring pairs that put a huge smile on my face.


Satin Crisscross Slide - $975.00

Now that’s Cranberry color to admire!  Not to fret if you love your sheik basics it always comes in Black too.  Any slight hint of ruche in a design and I admit I am sold.  This beauty has a 5” heel which would put me at a mere 6’ but hey sometimes we pay a price for beauty right?  LOL!


Suede Metallic Square Pump - $795.00

Seriously how can this not be one of the most perfect party pumps to rock?  The gorgeous silver square details are bananas.  I am definitely a fan of peep toes, gives just enough sophisticated sexy to work with.  This beauty has a platform of 1 1/8” and a heel of 5 1/4”.  All the must have heels always have the sky high height, at least most of us would consider it.  But they’re great art to rock when you want a night out to paint the town red.

I actually have a bubble tube dress I bought for New Years a few years back that would be perfect with this.  You see the madness begins as to why I SHOULD get this haha.


Cutout Bootie - $925.00

Such a great simple yet fun pairing to any outfit.  Dress this with a great black or vibrant purple party dress.  Dress it down with fun off the shoulder top, ripped jeans, and bangles.  Either way you’re sure to win win with being it’s so versatile.  It is also available in Black which makes it even more convenient.
This great peep toe heel also has a back zip for easy slip off and on.  This beauty has a heel of 4 7/10”.


Bouquet Platform - $1,025.00

Last but definitely not least is the “Wine and Dine” heel that is sure to amp up your outfit in any case.  Though I would definitely consider this a great formal heel as well any pair these days it goes perfect with casual looks as well.  Though I would probably save this for a semi-casual look if you want to dress this lady down a little.
Lace, mesh and floral combos of any kind have a truly timeless accents to pieces.

It seems to be a nude satin under the floral lace but it’s actually a light pink, how fun and genius to compliment the infamous red sole signature.  This beauty has a heel of 4 3/4”.



Hope you enjoyed some of my favorite picks from the Christian Louboutin collections being offered at Neiman Marcus right now!  Share what pairs of shoes are making you drool at the moment.

Shoes and Shoes and Shoes... Oh My!!!!



I saw this lovely shoe over on A New Mode's latest blog and just was IN LOVE!! I love bold and beautiful color especially when it comes to shoes, tops and accessories :) Well I found myself the other weekend at the crazy Kohl's Power Hour special on top of the insanely awesome low prices to begin with... yet again! I came across these cute pair of Candie's fringed t-strap heels:



Left [Candies @ Kohl's] Right [Madden Girl @ Zappos]


Sadly I made myself squeeze into them and by the time I slipped my poor feet out of them the bad boys were pretty much dying on me. But I did come across to a similar looking heel over at Zappos that looks much more comfy and something that would pretty much work with my short yet slightly wide high arched feet haha! I love fashion but it's one thing i've noticed with all shoes from the past up until now that i've purchased or craved... fringed, rouched, bright bold, or dubbed with straps galore is going to be my kind of style for eternity. What can I say that's just me. I used to be a wedge girl most of my life and sneak in some pairs of stilettos but i've really started braching away from the wedge aka comfort zone LOL!


Hmmmm I wonder what my favor styles are at the present moment. There was one pair of heels that I came across towards the end of my Kohl's visit that just made me go bananas. It was a gorgeous pair from ELLE, yes I know go figure ^_^ They're just a shiek yet classic set of heels but it's one of those shoes that once you slip them on they're like GOLD! I swear they were SO comfortable and I have to say without being biased because I wanted them so bad they truly did transform my feet into some hot puppies. What does this wonderous pair of shoes look like? Take a look...


I know you're probably thinking o.0 something like, umm Trish are you forreal? But I swear to you they are heavenly and beautiful and you can ask Sherri had they had my size and had my budget allowed it I would have been in line ready to go satisified walking out with just these bad boys haha! Here's another sad fact of me when it comes to shoes, heels specifically. I usually don't like to go 4 inches let alone higher. I have probably the worse balance and coordination when it comes to heels so putting me higher up in the air is not always a pretty sight, great laugh none the less haha! Plus this is the strange thought I struggle with. I'm like 5'5" or 5'4.5" haha something along those lines. For some reason when I slip on 4" heels or something with more height I feel like i'm WAY too tall. I know it's because i'm short and used to sticking around my height. Funny thing is I think 5'8" or 5'9" is a great height to be for a gal. LOL *shrugs* anyways!

I've been using some products I was honored enough to win from different giveaways and contests so i'll be posting those reviews up soon. Love to share hauls not in a bragging kind of way but it's always nice and fun to see new or unknown products to yourself that others have been raving about or dying to try. Only thing that sucks is if it's something you/they have never tried it's not really helpful for a review or quick thoughts unless you've used it a few times. Which is why I have been so late on these reviews not going to give a raving review just because I won, bought or was given it you know? I have to say though i've been using LashFood for about a month now and not only saw results rather quick but still see the benefits and just love it! Can't wait to do a review for you on that which is coming up in the very near future just have to find my "before" picture of the lashes. Alrighty it's about 2AM and i'm pooped as well as need to get back on a "normal" sleeping schedule so until next time have a great one!
