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.

Look For Less!

29 Apr

Valentino “Rockstud” flats are a perfect causal, yet edgy look but may not be so perfect for your wallet.  Available at Saks Fifth Avenue & Nordstrom and priced at $595 they are a considerable investment for flats.

However, if you love them and can’t squeeze them into your budget, Forever 21 has a very similar studded flat that retails for $24.80.

New Affordable Eyebrow Kit!

28 Mar

Hi everyone, as you know I’m a bit obsessed with brows and brow kits.  I prefer wax and powder kits over eye pencils because they fill in brows perfectly without looking drawn on or fake. My favorite brow kit thus far is by NYC and comes in 2 shades, but now NYX has a kit of their own that comes in 6 shades!!!! Leaving no brow lover behind!   The NYC kit has been good to me, but I will definitely be using the NYX kit as well. If you’ve only tried pencils, I suggest you try a powder and wax kit and at these prices it’s worth it!

NYC Brow kit. $4  This kit is only $4 but only comes in 2 shades and the shades are a single color and wax. If you’re on a super tight budget and happen to match these colors, this kit is for you.

nyc

NYX cake powder kit. $6  This kit comes in 6 shades and the shades are a set of two blendable colors (so you can find your perfect match) as well as wax!  If you can spare $6 and want to find your EXACT match, this kit is for you.

NYX

Remember: your eyebrows frame your face and defined eyebrows make your eyes pop, make you look awake and younger!

I snatched up this hinged kissing jaguar bracelet last week at a LA Forever21 store and wanted to share it on my fabulous Friday finds, but it wasn’t online as of  last Friday:(  Well it’s online now and I’m not going to wait  until next Friday to share it because it’s way too cute and it just might be sold out if I do!  I have worn this bracelet  in a stack and today I wore it alone- it looked great both ways.  Available in black and Ivory at Forever21. $12.80 Get yours HERE!  Let me add that this bracelet is very well made and looks great in person.

Find Your Nude!

19 Mar

If you’ve read my What Do I Wear With That? section featured on this blog, then you already know that I feel every woman needs a nude heel- A wedge or flat always work too.  Nude shoes literally match EVERYTHING, When I can’t find a shoe to match my ensemble, I always turn to my nude shoes to pull the outfit together. It’s practically like your barefoot and they elongate the legs as well which is a plus. With that being said I think it’s great to find a nude that is similar to your skin tone for a nice fluid look.

IIIBeca by Joy Gryson Handbag Collection!

5 Mar

As you all know, I love a great handbag! Handbags complete your look and carry your “life” around for you!  What more can a woman want?  Once in a while a handbag comes around that has quality construction and is accessible to most budgets! Handbag designer Joy Gryson’s line IIIBeca is exactly that!  Not a single bag in the collection is over $200- talk about accessible!  I might be going out on a limb here when I say this, but these bags can hang with Hermès and Valextra creations in my opinion! ( Go ahead….google Valextra bags right now) The craftsmanship is impeccable and the clean, classic silhouettes are timeless!  You will own these bags for a loooooong time!  Ok~ now onto my other delightful piece of information about this collection…….. 3% of the proceeds go to three different NYC charities chosen by Gryson herself for a total of 9% being donated from the sale of each bag!  How cool is that?

Below are my favorite styles in the collection.

Beach Street cosmetics case $78
