I MUST have these shoes! Now!!!

These are so freakin' cute I can't stand it! They are from Forever21 and they are only about $25! The 5in heal is a little scary for me because I am already 5'8 but I think I could make an exception.

For the summer I would wear these with skinny jeans and a simple tunic... but for fall... black opaque tights and an LBD with a longer cardigan. And of course you can't forget your Michael Kors bag :)

What would you wear with these shoes?

Cute stuff for cheap!

I haven't blogged since March. I know, its kinda sad. I have been super busy with my new job (and my old one, too)! I am now a Flight Attendant for American Eagle Airlines :) I was based out of NYC for about 2 months, which was a fashion dream come true! Lots of great shopping there and everyone looks so fashion savvy... even when they aren't trying. I developed a new obsession for H&M and Topshop. I have heard they are putting an H&M in Dallas but until then, I fly up to NYC just for the shopping :)

I have been seeing this Hardware trend since fall of 2009 but it is actually just now starting to really catch my eye. I think its because I really like anything white and if you add the hardware to it, I really think it transitions into Fall, dontchathink?!

Fringe me baby!!

Fringe is everywhere! Both high-end and low-end... if you like the fringe purses, there is one out there to fit your budget! Rebecca Minkoff seems to be the pioneer of this style. You can find tons of cute Rebecca Minkoff fringe purses on http://www.zoeybloom.com/, it is a charming online boutique with great purses and accessories.

I am not sure this trend is for everyone, would you rock the fringe?

I want, I want, I want!!!!

That is the way my friend Angela would descibe me... she isn't saying I'm selfish or bratty, I just get waaaaay ahead of myself in my shopping "wants"! (I don't see a problem here....)

I really love this dress. It is from one of my favorite shopping sites, http://www.lulus.com/. They have the BEST dresses. Stuff you don't see everywhere else.

As for the purse, it is Valentino. It is denim. It is unbelievable. I first spotted this purse in the Neiman Marcus window when I was on a run. (trust me, having the Neiman flagship store within walking distance of where you live is hard!) Anyway, I went in and ogled it for a while. Actually, that is how I scored my invite to the "Fashion Rules" party. The sales lady felt that if I was this ga-ga over a purse, I needed to be at the party. She was very correct!

Just a little bit Nautical

I was looking around the web for the perfect accessories to go with this outfit. I was thinking a Navy blue Bib necklace. or maybe a bright red bead strand. Then I though, nah, I think I like this one simple. Let the simplicity of it just be... well... simple. I think the silver shoes play the leading role well enough :)

I really like the longer length tees. Since I'm pretty tall and I have a really long torso, they just work! I really can't imagine life before them! The shorts are short, but the top is modest enough to even it out, don't you think?

The Ever so Tricky Perfect Nude Heel

I really like the way a great nude shoe looks. I see a lot of nude heels on the red carpet and they are worn with brights! I never would have imagined that would look even the least bit good, but somehow, it works. Problem for me is this... I am pale. Really pale. Irish, British, and Scottish pale. I have one heck of a time finding a nude shoe that looks really good with my skin. I actually found a great Steve Madden Luxe patent-leather heel at DSW one time. They were perfect, they had a rounded toe and a 3inch heel. I (stupidly) decided to wait to see if they got marked down anymore (they were already marked down 50%). Apparently I was not the only girl that loved them... I went back maybe 2 days later and they were gone. Lesson learned... if you have a hard-to-match tone and you happen upon that perfect nude heel, BUY IT! Don't be take a chance like I did!

Enough about me and my skin tone, here are a collection of great nudes that would work on everyone else :)

Valentino gets my vote!!!

If you have been keeping up with my blog and you have any knowledge of the high-fashion designers, then you have undoubtedly seen how much I love Valentino bags!

They are so colorful, lady-like and just all around gorgeous. I have to admit though, I had never paid much attention to them before Spring 2010. They were too sophisticated for me, and really, I just thought a little dull. Well, that has changed!

Javier Motas is the man you need to see over at North Park mall if you EVER have interest in purchasing anything Valentino. He is super friendly, has great taste and he is just so... classy. (I fell like I need to roll the "r" in Javier, just to give him the credit he deserves!) Anyways, take a look and tell me what you think about the amazing Valentino :)

Bright ideas!

Well today has not been a great day, so I thought maybe looking at some bright colors would cheer me up! "Imaginary shopping" as my boyfriend calls it, is enough to put me in a better mood, really. Aren't bright and bold colors fun?

1. Jacket, Newport News, $59

2. clutch, Kate Spade, $102 (on sale!)

3. yellow tunic, Forever21, $22.80

I've got the blues!

I was at the Neiman Marcus "Fashion Rules" fashion show the other day and the theme was blue! Blue popcorn, blue sugar cookies, blue straws in my many mini-bottles of champagne... and of course, the models were all in blue ! (Did I mention that my boyfriend was also blue? He was pretty sad that my date bailed on me...he had to fill in) I have always liked blue, you just don't see royal blue in the stores very often. Come to think of it, primary colors are harder to find then they should be. Well, unless you are in the toddler section. Anyways, I think it is so pretty! Not to mention it brings out my blue eyes :) I was oh-so thrilled to see blue as the spotlight at this event. Here is some cute stuff I found, in reasonable prices. You can indulge your love for blue...I know I plan to!

My love for black is endless...

Sometimes I think to myself that I blog about black too much. Then I think... Nah! I just happen to look good in it, as do most people :)

This is a cute little summer outfit. I think the rompers are a little hard to pull off, they are cute nonetheless. Of course, you just can't go wrong with a basic pair of cute little black flip-flops. I remember living in Hawaii and I had a pair of black flat Reef sandals for about 4 years. When I finally threw them away they had an exact indention of my foot. I love them that much!

Cute, cute, cute... Zoey Catherine is amazing!!!!

I was exploring http://www.etsy.com/ the other day. I had heard about all the great crafty things you can get on there. Honestly, not much on there for me. I saw some really cute stuff for babies... but I'm not in too much need of any home-made crafts myself. OR SO I THOUGHT... I happened upon Zoey Catherines page. Oh wow... the colors are so catching! These headbands are just to die for! I have seen a lot of the same idea at forever21 this season, but none of them caught my eye quite like these. I am in love. Zoey, you (and Valentino purses, of course) have my heart ♥!!

I'm not too familiar with how etsy works but if you want to go take a look at her whole collection, go to http://www.etsy.com/ and do a search for Zoey Catherine
