SOTW- Week 4

Thanks giving is right around the corner, and there's much to be thankful for this time of year! Especially the cooler weather! I've always loved dressing for cooler weather! So here's this weeks Steal of the Week....



So who isn't into the military style right now? If you're not you've been hiding under a ROCK! I like a few little military embellishments but there's no way you will catch me in Camo. We just don't mix well.

What I WOULD wear is these babies!

Christian Louboutin Flannel Over-The-Knee Boot
Price: $1,595.00

The details of this sexy beast couldn't be put into words.. This is Heaven on Heels!

• Flannel with canvas lining.
• Beautiful golden military buttons run all the way up 20 1/2" shaft.
• Pointed toe.
• Padded insole.
• 4 1/4" covered heel.
• Signature red sole.

I couldn't have put it better myself...

The heavens opened up, a single ray of light expelled from it, and this magical boot was created.. Walk around in the puppies, and you could make a grown man cry!
Don't have $1500 to shell out for some shoes? Thats ok, I have a wonderful bargain for you! One that will make you dance in your pants!

Black Suede Lace Up Over The Knee Platform Boots
Price: $35.99

These babies would make Grown Men cry also.. They don't care about designers or brands.. Wear these bad boys with a beautiful Sweater or a a cute little Trench!



I hope everyone has a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

SOTW- Week 3

Sequin shorts were definitely hot especially when it was warmer. Now that it's coming into the cooler weather it seems like people just can't seem to let them go!

For those of you who don't live in warmer parts of the country, and can't walk around in shorts between now and March, do not fret! I have an obvious and adorable solution! Wear beautiful tights. It's the perfect way to add a pop of color, or if you want to keep sleek go ahead and wear some black tights. The thing about sequins shorts is, you definitely don't want to make any of the other fabrics you wearing outshine the sequins. First of all, it would go from classy to trashy. Secondly, you would end up looking like a hot mess out of a bad Burlesque show ! Now, you will want to pair your shorts with a bootie. I would love to see this look with some Black tights. How about a boyfriend blazer and white top. Obviously you can wear any color top, but the idea is to let the sequin shorts be the focus of you outfit. We definitely want those bad boys to pop. Now, if you need to add a little bit more to your wardrobe because of all the cold weather. Instead of wearing a blazer outside, you can always carry it with you, but you could wear a simple tie at the waist trench. If that's a little too much but you're needing to add a little extra warmth. Go ahead a pair it with a beautiful scarf. You can add a pop of color here, or you can make the colors of your wardrobe blend together with a beautiful Silver Cashmere Scarf.


So enough about my outfits. Here's your splurge:

Gryphon Sequined Draw String Shorts.

Price: Originally $325.00
Sale: $ 227.50

These bad boys will definitely make you feel like you roll with Katy PerryAl. They will make you walk with your Chin higher, and a model stride. How would you not be able to feel sexy in these things? The price will make you think twice.. But I have some pretty sexy and affordable competitors.


Charlotte Russe Sequin Soft Short
Price: Original $ 24.50
Sale $11.99
I also bring you:

AE Sequin Party Shorts
Price: $ 49.50
Although they are a little bit more expensive I do have to admit, I like the AE shorts better. I love the idea of a sequin belt. with it. Now for those of you who don't like the idea of a looser short. We have a F21 Sequin Glam Shorts for $22.80
and a more expensive version (This could have been it's OWN Steal of the week)
Sequin Hot Shorts - Kardashians by Bebe
$ 89.00

Definitely DON'T be afraid to rock sequins this fall/winter. Especially with all the holiday parties coming up. It always makes you feel glitzy and pretty when done in moderation!

Black and/ or Blue!

So now that it's fall, All of our favorite dark colors are coming out to play! Some of us may not be as comfortable wearing black polish, but you can always go dark without getting black.

I love fall and winter and, I definitely love Dark, warm colors.

So, I have some wonderful alternatives:

Dark Navy Blues.

This one is: Essie Starry Starry Night

You could also use Essie: Midnight Cami.
Since Essie is about 8 Dollars a bottle, I would definitely recommend Maybelline Express in Denim Blue. It's only about 3 dollars. (It's also what I am currently wearing)

You could also Try Browns, and it may lead into Brownish Maroon Colors.

I love

Essie: Damsel In a Dress


You can also go with something like

Essie: Wicked


So, hopefully those of you who feel that Black is a little too dark, or if work restrictions don't allow you to have black you could use these beautiful alternatives.

Christmas is on my mind already!

So, I found these online, and I totally thought they were so ADORABLE! So, I think I am going to dig inside and find my inner Martha Stewart! They were sold out online, so I am going to make them myself. I mean how hard could it be! All I need is Felt in multiple colors (The best part about that is, I can make them whatever colors I want), a Sewing Machine (This is optional, another bonus about this, is you can use a hot glue gun if you wanted too!), Scissors, and ribbon/rope. Everything else would be optional depending on your taste!! I know I will definitely need. Those items are the bare minimums :)

I have my stockings and skirts from previous Christmas' so you can certainly just trace them and use that as a template!
I think it's going to be easy! There was also another stocking design that I thought was totally adorable. So, who knows what I am going to come up with. All I know is, I love Christmas.. I can't wait to take all my stuff out and decorate. It's always been a family tradition to put out everything the Day after Thanksgiving. So, even though all the department stores and Walmart make it hard to keep it in storage since they have everything out, I'm sticking with Tradition.



Here's the other one I saw.

I freaking love these! They're so cute!

SOTW- Week 2

Steal of the Week!


My Second Edition! Woohoo!

I kind of enjoy looking for all these bargains. I am going try and wide variety of Steals, not limited to just fashion. But, I definitely have to do my homework..

So.. Before I move onto my next steal, I would like to provide a trick..

Have you ever bought a piece of costume jewelry that you loved, but then you realized that it turned for your fingers/neck/ears green? And, then that love quicky turned into hate. Well, you can take a little clear nail polish and paint over the metal, and it definitely provides a quick fix. You may have to reapply every once in a while depending on how often you use that jewelry, but it will help to prevent the metal from turning you green!!

So, here we go..



Every girl loves Tiffany & Co. I mean, come on how could you not? Their timeless, and beautiful.

Splurge:
Paloma Picasso Loving Heart Ring
This is such a beautiful ring, and I love the delicate heart, with the holidays right around the corner, this is definitely a ring that says, I heart you!
This beautiful ring will run you
$225.00

Luckily, I have found a cheaper alternative.

Also, in Sterling Silver I present to you...

Steal
Loving Heart Ring

Now this ring, will only run you about $19.00. If down to drop 2 bills, I would certainly recommend the Tiffany ring for quality. Both rings are made out of the same metal, however as you can see the Tiffany ring is more lustrous and shiny, but the steal ring is definitely a wonderfun and less expensive alternative!

SOTW- Week 1

Steal of the Week: is something I am going to try and commit myself to doing! I love a good Bargain. This isn't going to be a "Knock Off" update, I am not going to tell you where to find fake stuff, but I am going to try and show you were you may find similar Designer items for a lot less money. Take My first Steal of the week.

Splurge:

Dolce&Gabbana Lace Inset Suede Bootie

This Bad Boy will Dent your wallet $745.00.


It's a beautiful Shoe. "A rich suede bootie is centered with a delicate panel of tonal lace, adding a darkly romantic aesthetic."

I love the look of this shoe, paired with tights, or alone this is definitely a feminine shoe. I love the look of the lace and the Suede paired with it. Luckily it's not blue or Elvis would be rolling in his grave. That was a failed attempt at humor. So, now that you've seen that Bad MamaJama. Let's go ahead and show you the Steal.

Steal:

The "Candid" by ShoeDazzle

Price: $40.00

This is a wonderful shoe as well, with a smaller lace print. I almost like this one better. From a quick glance I am sure you wouldn't be able to tell the two apart. They're both great shoes.


Side Note: I am aware that ShoeDazzle doesn't actually make the majority of the shoes they sell, I am trying to find out who the designer is and where you may purchase it without signing up for ShoeDazzle if possible. Once I find out, I will let you know.

March 15th

I will be moving back to Florida on March 15th. I am so excited, but at the same time I am so nervous. I know in FL, I will not make the same money I make here. I am so scared of moving back. I always have my grooming to fall back on, but I need more money. I need to be financially secure and stable. I need to make sure I can provide for Tristan. I will be getting a house with my sister, but I don't trust her like that. I need to make sure that if something happens and she decides to leave, or I decide to kick her out, I will be financially stable. I am really concerned about a job, and I don't know what I want to do when I get there. I know I am going to do Free Lance Make Up Artistry, but I won't be able to build up my reputation for quite some time. I am so used to getting off at 5pm with the weekends off. I need to find something like that again! I hate feeling this way.. Just wanted to vent.
