Cute Sweater Alert!

28 Jan

Every wardrobe needs at least one mustard item, whether it be a sweater, dress, bag or a heel. Mustard is wearable year round and is complimentary to many colors. Check out this oversized cable knit sweater in the golden shade at a perfect price! I can already picture wearing this sweater with leggings, skinny jeans or a body con skirt. How will you wear it?

Mustard Sweater $32.95 Let me add that the sweater is a “one size fits most” so if you wear a small, it will fit very loose. If you wear a large, it will fit smaller. If you wear a medium you should be golden!!!!!

Look For Less!!!! Valentino Rockstud Heels!

22 Aug

Hello hello! I’m here with a VERY exciting look for less!!!!! I have found a pair of heels that look almost identical to the fuchsia Valentino Rockstud pumps!  A little birdie named Emily who writes The Sweetest Thing turned me on to these pretty pumps!  I saw them on her and assumed they were Valentino Rockstuds because quite frankly-they looked just like them……turns out they are from Torrid- the store for full-figured fashionistas!  I didn’t even know they sold shoes!  After finding out the scoop on these, I quickly checked online only to find that had size 10 and Up:(  So I called my local Torrid store and they had more sizes!!!!!!!!!   I just had to share this with you all!!!!! Good luck finding your own pair!

Valentino Rock stud heels $945 available at Saks.  They come in a high or a low height!

Pink studded pump $44.50!!!!!!!!! and right now they ARE ON SALE FOR ONLY  $22.48!!!!!!!!  I mean…..it doesn’t get any better than that!   Whether you would never spend a thousand bucks on heels or  totally would and just want to test out the studded Torrid heels to see if you may want the Valentino’s later, these shoes are for you!!!!!

The Torrid version is a shorter heel but at this price who the heck cares!???!!!!! and furthermore, even if  I only get 3 wears out of these bad boys, that’s good enough for me!!!!

P.S. while I was at Torrid, I noticed they had the cutest bracelets although they were way too big for my wrist, but SPREAD the word to your full-figured friends, if they have a hard time finding bracelets that actually fit, they need to try Torrid!

The Ultimate Fall Heel!

21 Jul

The annual Anniversary Sale is in full swing right NOW at Nordstrom stores across the country and online as well ! The sale is held each July and has become legendary among Nordstrom customers nationwide who take advantage of savings on new fall merchandise before the season starts.  I look forward to this sale all year-long and my store visit was a total success. I was able to score on baby gift, a couple of really cute rings and a dress but my favorite score of all was these HOT Sam Edelman ‘Darla’ heels.  They have a pointed toe with a V cutout to show just enough toe cleavage and have a triple ankle strap with two of the three straps featuring studded detail!  I really wanted both colors but with the help of my Facebook  and Instagram followers, I opted for the burgundy & black because I already have far too many black heels and thought a little color wouldn’t hurt, and the rich red color is PERFECT for Fall! The heels are available HERE and will go back up to regular price on August 5.

Available in all Black or Black & Burgundy combo.

What’s In My Bag? 10 things You’d Be Surprised To Know About Me!

21 Feb

Oh Em Geeee….I was suppose to do this post a week ago and just remembered!  These “what’s in my purse” posts are all over the blogosphere right now and I recently got my inspiration from Amy’s vintage Closet when  she did a post on it.  I also saw a fun “10 things you’d be surprised to know about me” post last week and thought I’d partake in that as well and put them both into one post for you guys!   So here we go!  Please excuse the poor lighting and camera flashes, I literally just took these pictures and it’s dark here in California!  Ok time for show & tell!

What’s Inside my purse?  It changes everyday depending on the purse of course, the bigger the bag…. the more stuff I seem to “need”. I pretty much always have these 10 things floating around from purse to purse with me, and as you can see, I have a case for everything!  Keeps everything organized and easy to find.

Here’s what’s in todays purse!

IMG_0483

Bag1

1. Coin Purse- I love having a specific place for coins.

2. Keys- can’t live without those.

3. Sunglasses- definitely need those in California.

4.Makeup bag- holds mostly lip stuff and anything else that’s small.( mirror, hair ties, nail file, tweezers, pink swiss army knife etc.)

5.Business card holder- so cute and pink.

6. Clicky pen- free from my bank.

7. iPhone-  my first one ever…in love!

8.Wallet- going on 7 years old…you’d never know it.

9. Gum- gotta stay fresh and minty.

10. Cute pouch- holds my camera.

That’s a wrap for my purse—–nothing too spectacular.  Now onto the good stuff!

10 things You’d Be Surprised To Know About Me! 

I find that I get the biggest reactions when people find these things out about me……

1. I’m not that into chocolate- I don’t know why but I prefer caramel or peanut butter over chocolate any day… and when I do eat it, it’s gotta be packed with nuts, caramel anything!

2. Are you sitting down? ok here it goes!  I actually like and wear UGG BOOTS!  YES it’s true! Are they cute? Not really, but they’re warm and cozy for cold days, camping and running errands.

3. I love the  great outdoors and that includes hiking and camping (In tents, without showers).

4. I have a very large tattoo on my ribs/torso area.  It’s cherry blossoms with branches and Japanese lanterns.

5. I love cars!  I love pretty cars and I love tough cars! I just love a beautiful, well-engineered vehicle. If I had all the money in the world my car collection would trump Jay Leno’s.

6. I have horrible penmanship- you cannot differentiate between my hand writing chicken scratch and most 6 year olds, it’s quite horrible. ( I should have been a Dr.)

7. I love watching football- and I actually know the rules!  I prefer College, but will watch most any level! Best sport ever!

8. I’m happily married to a woman- not really a big deal to me, my friends and my family but it’s “shocking” for some.  I am sometimes saddened at the reactions of a few but at the same time I have witnessed so many people “see the light” so to speak , when they realize that our marriage is just as normal as the next couple.  If you’ve read my wedding ring posts, this is old news. However if this can change even one persons perspective on this subject, then it was worth sharing in my opinion.

9. I have been fascinated with the stock market since I was 18 and  able to invest (play)–S&P500, Dow Jones, NASDAQ, Mutual funds, Bonds—you name it!  Wall Street is a very entertaining and sometimes nail-biting, yet very profitable game that every adult should partake in!  Time literally is money and more people need to stop wasting time!  Take this as a “sign” and start asking questions, use half of your tax return to open up a Fidelity account, E-Trade etc. While you’re at it, Max out on your 40lk!  Now’s the time don’t wait- life only gets more expensive as you get older! So if you think you can’t afford to set aside some money now, you really won’t be able to later.  Build your nest egg NOW!  Ok I’m done blabbing about that!

10.  I have a dog rescue kit in my trunk and dog & cat food as well ready to feed any hungry animal wherever I may be.  Sounds silly I know but I’ve used that kit successfully about a dozen times and the food hundreds of times!!!!!

Well that about sums it up for the spilling of the beans…..I feel like I wrote a tell all book. Hope you all enjoyed it!  Have a great night!
