Happy Wednesday everyone. Do you know what time it is????? It’s Instagram roundup time!!!!!!! Take a peek into my life through my pictures via my new obsession- Instagram! For more pictures- follow me @yourstylejourney.
Can we just talk about this kitty picture for a second? My friend told me about this fun app called catwang where you can basically add fun things(mostly kitties) to existing photos. I was laughing the entire time I was making this picture! So fun!
Good afternoon! I thought I’d share my scuff removal tips with you all as I clean my heels up after a night out. I try to clean my heels after each wear, keeping them beautiful for many years! It’s also much easier to maintain them with a quick wipe down and scuff removal than to let it build up. I’ve always been able to clean my leather shoes pretty easily but had such a hard time with patent leather until one day it somehow popped in my head to try nail polish remover on a big red scuff and IT WORKED! Since then I’ve wiped away dozens of scuffs successfully!
What you’ll need:
*nail polish remover
*1, maybe 2 Q-tips (cotton swabs)
* 2 minutes of your time
Once you have your Q-tips and nail polish remover, you simply dip the Q-tip into the nail polish remover and gently wipe over the scuff in a back and forth motion until it disappears! Once the scuff is removed, flip the Q-tip around and use the dry side to wipe off any access nail polish remover. It’s that easy! and YES this removes those unsightly red Louboutin scuffs! I have used this method on leather and patent leather and have found that it works especially well on patent leather because the surface is so slick. I have NOT tried it on suede because quite frankly I’m scared that it would smear the stain rather than remove it. I hope this helps you all next time you have a shoe in need of scuff removal!
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
Bags available at Joy Gryson, Nordstrom and Bloomingdales.

I love love love Tory Burch if you haven’t already notice. She has some of the best accessories on the market in my opinion. Her designs are well made and timeless, I love that you can buy a Tory Burch bag and carry it for a decade or more! I recently came across a bag at Target that looked strikingly familiar to the Tory Burch 797 satchel, a beautiful bag! If you can afford the 797 satchel that’s great but if you can’t, this Target bag is a stylish alternative for those on a budget! Both bags are gorgeous and the links are below! Happy shopping!
Tory Burch 797 satchel $650 at Tory Burch.
Moda Luxe top handle cross body bag $59.99 at Target.
Beyonce’s gorgeous Super bowl costume took a team of 14 people over 200 hours to create! Designer to the stars Rubin Singer spoke about the detail that went into the ensembles “My seamstresses were assembling all of the leather and exotic skins individually by hand. All of the pieces were separate details that were all constructed on her body.”
