I absolutely LOVE these shoes (Litten by Aldo). They are the quintessential “going out” heel.. that I must have. They were $80 just a few days ago and now they’re down to $40. Wow, Aldo… you are making this really hard for me to not just take out my credit card and purchase these sparkling stilettos RIGHT NOW!
Can i just say how much I love Katy Perry’s style? She is so eclectic yet ballsy and elegant – all rolled into one. Plus her voice is amazing too, so that’s just added bonus points! And I am super excited that she’s going to be hosting American Idol tonight! (follow her on twitter @KatyPerry)

P.S. should I dye my hair black???
I love LUSH. I discovered the small shop in NYC at their store in Soho. When living in such a small dirty city (sorry New Yorkers!), I searched to find handmade organic products that would help rejuvanate my skin and bring back all of the essential oils that were lost from my daily wear and tear. My favorite product from LUSH are their bath bombs. You know when you just want to relax after a long week? Bath Bombs are so delicious because all you do it throw them in a hot back and as they dissolve, they give your face a bit of a facial as well.
This one is Sakura Bath Bomb and it’s packed with floral fragrances. My other favorite is a special limited edition bath bomb that only comes out around Christmas time. I’ve also tried their Dream Cream and honey soap and both were luxurious as well. Also, I almost forgot to mention that since all of their products are handmade, you can actually buy facial scrubs and masks freshly made – sort of like a salad bar at the store. Pricey? Sort of. Worth it? HELL YES!
What are your favorite LUSH products? Anything you’d recommend that I try?
How much does a heel influence the kind of shoe that you buy? Do you only buy wedges? Stilettos? Flats? I am having a tough time deciding if I like the heel. No actually, I like them, but I have friends that hate both of these heels. What do you think? These are super comfy, but are they terrible looking?
I know I have been slightly obsessive about posting boots lately. It’s pretty much my latest obsession – yeah. Shoes. I feel like I’ve turned into Carrie Bradshaw or something. I’d actually rather prefer a nice pair of heels or boots than a fancy dinner. And these are my latest craze… they are on sale, of course. But, here’s to hoping they’ll go on sale even more.
They are called Melokonian by Aldo.
I wanted to re-visit one of my favorite old shopping destinations — Urban Outfitters. When I was living in NY, my friend Ian and I would go there probably once or twice a week. Heck, I lived 2 blocks away from one! Anyway, I haven’t really been there in a while to dress shop given my latest shoe craze, but I checked back last night and was pleasantly suprised! Here are a few of my favs!
Silence and Noise Strapless Colorblock Ponte Dress: What a mouthful for such a delicate dress!
Cody Strapless Dress: Save this one for springtime, or better yet Easter! What a nice splash of color.
Kimchi Blue Print Chiffon Sahara Dress: Love the simplicity of the cut and the subtle pink bright colors.

Just found this through Shop It To Me — TORY BURCH PANTS ON SALE! $100! I think its very necessary to have a pair a nice black pants on hand. You never know when you’re going to have to dress up (if not for work) for a nice dinner, party, social event. So, even if you never believe in black pants (like me), think again. Especially since these are such an amazing deal!
And if you haven’t already signed up for Shop It To Me, do it! It’s an amazing service if you love to shop. Read my previous post about it. Or you can follow them on Twitter for the latest deals!
I am newly obsessed with hot colored pink. I don’t know where this urge all of a sudden came from, but now I am on a hunt to find the perfect shade of hot pink. I found this awesome brand, Lipstick Queen and I think i have to order something! They have lipsticks, lip glosses and lip balms, lip pencils – you name it!
My favorite is Lipstick Queen’s 15 Minutes of Fame. They label each lipstick according to the minute! Clever! Hmm, I think I need number 7 or 8. What do you think?
I am an avid wearer of leggings. They are the most versatile piece of clothing – worn with a swear, long shirt, dress – YOU NAME IT! We Love Colors have an amazing selection of leggings and tights. They are semi-shiny, which gives is a very polished look. You can dress up without even having to try. What a concept! These pictured above are designed by Caroline Geys – aren’t they fabulous?
Do you have a favorite style of legging? Knee high? Long? Color? Comment below!
Is your skin severly dehydrated? Are you unable to find a moisturizer that will keep you skin feeling soft and smelling delicious throughout the night? Well, my friends.. I have your answer. A Perfect World, by Origins is super thick with a soft sweet peach-like smell (although its the White Tea that smells.) My skin is super sensitive and usually I can’t use fragrance, but this doesn’t bother me at all.
The best part is that if you get it at Nordstrom Rack, you can save a few bucks. So skip the Origins counter and head over the Nordstom Rack. This is one of the few Origins products that they sell.
Fred Flare is one of my favorite online places to shop when it comes down to unique random gifts for people. Yeah, they probably don’t NEED it, but their life is a whole lot better with these gifts.. such as…
That is the question for today. How do you store your jewelry? I have so much jewelry saved up and when I throw it in a box, they necklaces get all tangled! This pretty cute Bird Vine jewelry stand (from Urban Outfitters) is a great idea, but doesn’t seem like it holds much. I know a ton of you out there have atons of jewelry, so how do you store it? Leave it in the comments below!
I am a big fan of these motorcycle-esque boots. No, they’re not girly at all, yet they still have a bit of a heel. The buckles are awesome – in my opinion. And the best price is they’re only $44 bucks. Hmm.. too good to be true? Maybe, because I’m pretty sure they’re not made of leather, and I’m kind of a snob when it comes to pleather boots. But these are a pretty darn good bargain, if you can get past that. Sold at DELias!
It’s the 1 out of 2 times a year when Victoria’s Secret blows out 80% of their collection to make room for more, and that’s great news for savvy shoppers like yourself. So go on – head over their and check out what they have. Keep in mind that if someone is sold out, keep checking back because they will usually replenish their inventory…. such as the Fireside PJs below that I’ve been trying to get for forever! They have them in stock, just in the wrong size 
And also, if you do buy anything, check for promotional codes online. Just google search “Victoria’s Secret Promo Codes.” They always have stuff for free shipping or free lipgloss with purchase type deals.
And for now, here are some other those irresistible finds in VS!
(Kind of reminds me of Paddington Bear, eh?)
I moved into a new apartment 2 days ago, exactly. This is my first apartment where I actually invested in real furniture. I shopped around everywhere – Ikea, Target, Furniture outlet stores, Pier One, etc etc. But keeping in mind that I am still on a budget, yet needed something quality, my aunt suggested that I go to World Market. It’s just my luck that EVERY piece of furniture is on sale! YAAY! I got this dining table and side table to match….. like it? By the way, the wood is REAL! Not particle board or MDF.
If you are looking for furniture, I strongly suggest going to World Market. They have a great variety of quality things, plus other accessories to furnish your home. Also, if you get a members card you can get discounts mailed to you!
The first time I ever visited my boyfriend’s family in Missouri, I headed to a Dillard’s store. Now for many of you, Dillard’s is nothing special. For me, it was like heaven! I’d never been in one before and I found one of my favorite shoe brands to date: Antonio Melani! I own a few pairs of them (because I keep heading back everytime I visit.) On my last trip, I fell in love with these beauties! P.S. If you keep checking the Dillards website, these shoes always go on sale. The boots below went from $169 to $99 in only a week! Score!
This shoe is so fun! I love the pattern, yet the flat style is easy on your feet if you have to walk around all day. Great to dress up some jeans and a T or to wear with a little black dress!
The Magy is suprisingly comfortable even with the slight heel. Very professional looking for work or play and the emblem on the toe gives it a fun flare.
These slouchy leather boots really pull together an outfit. It comes in 3 colors, beige, black and brown. I love the beige – it goes with an array of outfits! (Plus I already own black and brown boots!)
That’s right peeps. You can now head over the the Palms in Vegas and stay in a Barbie – inspired suite. How amazing it this? Pink everywhere?! I really coudln’t ask for anything more. This chic ultra-bachelorette pad wad designed by Jonathan Adler and it features custom Barbie wall coverings and a sunburst mirror made of 65 Barbie dolls.
Some of the amenities include
So can you imagine the ultimate Barbie party? It would HAVE to he be here. Don’t believe me? Check it out yourself!
With the beautiful California weather, you really don’t need to wear anything heavier than a light sweater or coat. And one of the advantages of living by the beaches out here are having all the cool surf stores! Nope, I’m not a surfer and to disprove the myth that surfer brands only sell surfer looking stuff, I’ve picked out some of the cutest light-California-sweaters perfect for the non surfer. These can all be found at my favorite surf store, Becker’s Surf.
Though this jacket looks thick, it’s actually no thicker than a regular hoodie material. I know because I’m wearing it now. The hood is removable as well. (This link is from Buckle, but I got mine at Becker’s Surf.. for cheaper!)
I love this sweater so much because of its lightweight material and the asymmetrical closure on the front. The large buttons ad a great touch as well!
It looks like a heavy pea coat, but it’s just a soft cover up that’s made to fool ya! Plus the contrast in the colors and buttons give this jacket a nice touch.
This cute little retro number is what I’ll be wearing for the holidays. It’s called the Helen Dress. And I got it at Motel Rocks, a fabulous site that has tons of inexpensive dresses to suit your every need. I like this one because of its simple characteristics, yet very chic. Now, since it’s hip hugging, I’m going to need some Spanx to go with it. Never tried ‘em before. Also a cute jacket. Any recommendations?
Here are some more dresses from Motel Rocks that you may also enjoy:
I love H&M because their clothes are so affordable and I am so stoked that they have a Holiday Sale with tons of new clothing and accessories perfect for Holiday parties. Just let me warn you, if you go to their site, and click on Holiday, it’s a mess. It’s so hard to look through their stuff with clothing and shoes flying everywhere you move your mouse, so I do suggest hitting up a store.
However, I did manage to find these on the site and man… I need them… now!
For $14.95, you really can’t beat this price. Plus these shoes are the shiznit! Even if you only wear them once!
$34.95. For Holiday parties and regular parties, you’ll definitely get good use out of this cardigan. The high neck will keep you extra warm and the cable pattern adds the perfect amount of detail without looking too overdone. Hot damn!
