Choked Up!

8 Sep

Chokers are back y’all! Well, they’ve been back for a while, but they’re catching on like wildfire. I’m old enough to remember when chokers were all the rage in the 90’s. They are definitely back with a vengeance~ as are the entire 90’s(good and bad).  Anyways, this past weekend, I received two chokers that I ordered from Forever 21 to wear with a specific outfit. I ordered black to be safe & burgundy hoping it would match the heels I was going to wear. It ended up matching perfectly, so I went with that one. Long story, short, I got so many compliments and messages about the chokers after I shared them on Instagram and Snapchat- especially after I shared the PRICE!!! Both chokers were under $10 total!  So without further ado…… here are links to both chokers. What I love most about these chokers, is that they are dainty and appear to wrap around the neck. I think they are so cute and bring an element of style to a look without overpowering it like a large ribbon type of choker could.

The Perfect Party Dress!

22 Sep

Every Holiday season I put together a post with a selection of Holiday party dresses to shop. That post is published in early November to give everyone time to shop for the holiday parties they’ll be attending. This year I will do that holiday dress post as planned BUT I’ve stumbled across a dress that I simply can’t wait until November to share. This dress is so pretty. It’s a combination of the perfect length, material and design. The dress fits petite to curvy body types. The lace detail is gorgeous and the cutout back is sexy while remaining very classy. it comes in a variety of colors and is priced under $100. This is a great dress to grab now for the holiday season ahead or for upcoming weddings you will attend. This is a must have dress for all occasions.

Lace cutout back dress $98 available exclusively at Nordstrom.

They aren’t too bulky and are easy to carry in the hand or under the arm. I came across this super cute and affordable clutch today and had to share it with you. The metal plate and wrap detail are so cute!  I’m purchasing the nude color for Spring but it also comes in black. Click the links below to shop.

My New Favorite Ankle Zip Skinny Jeans!!!!! (under$30)

16 Oct

Hi loves……quite a few of you have inquired about my black skinny jeans with ankle zippers that I’ve been wearing lately ( for 4 days straight actually).  I’m here to tell you that they are AFFORDABLE!!!!!! and they fit amazing! For those of you that haven’t seen them, they are the blackest black and have a great silver zippered ankle detail.  They are super stretchy and maintain their shape throughout an entire night of walking and dancing might I add!  They are priced at a very reasonable $29.99 and are available at Target!  I always shop for clothes at Target, and last Friday these cute pants caught my eye….. Once I made sure they were free of logos (I love plain jeans, even my favorite designer jeans are J brand because they are logo free), I thought I try them on.  They fit like a glove, are comfortable and so cute.  All of you should run to target and pick some up or order HERE.  They are also perfectly skinny enough to tuck into all your Fall/Winter boots!
