Tips for Great Style

/in , /by

After I read a book I always go through it again for a recap. While scrolling through Jennifer L. Scott’s book Lessons from Madame Chic I stumbled upon some tips she gave for dressing well. I love these simple yet truthful tips. I can honestly say that I think this way every time I dress myself. Enjoy the tips!

~ Only wear clothes because you love them, they look great on you, and they reflect who you are.

~ Define your true style to help guide you when shopping.

~ Think of how you want to present yourself to the world every time you get dressed.

~ Listen to your instinct about your style. Deep down you know if something works or doesn’t work.

My Floral Sandals

/4 Comments/in , /by

Looking for floral sandals this season has been hard! I love floral prints, especially sandals!! My ideal summer wardrobe is a white lace shirt, black skirt and floral sandals. I just think that look is so fresh and chic.

I did a long and hard search on Amazon and stumbled across these beauties. I was a bit apprehensive about ordering them but I have been so please with the way they fit and how they look that I am considering ordering a second pair! They are just lovely.

They are called the Brieten Rhinestone Sandal. 
They come in 4 different colors.

My Studded BCBG Heels

/in , /by

These shoes have been on the scene for awhile now. I must admit I got sucked into them too. But they are just too fabulous to ignore. The Valentino Rockstud Pump turns heads wherever it is!!! But honestly and truly not many of us can afford the $995 price tag!

I have been on the hunt for a “cheaper version” for sometime now. I found maybe two pair that were close but not close enough. But this weekend I stumbled on a pair that are so close to the original Valentino pair I just could not pass them up.
I found the BCBGeneration Darron Pump at DSW this pass weekend!! I posted them on my facebook page and got a lot of comments! They are well liked by all. If you love the Valentino Rockstud pump as much as I do but don’t want to pay the $995 price tag these could be your next best option. See below and enjoy!!!!

My Fossil Watch

/in , /by

I have been wanting an excellent time piece for a while now. But finding the watch that I want has not been easy. I love the color of the rose gold watches but I didn’t want the “face” of the watch to be huge! So when I found this watch I thought it was an excellent balance. It has just enough “bling”, it is rose gold and the “face” wasn’t too big. I love it!

Gray Kate Spade (My Spring 2015 Tote)

/2 Comments/in , /by

I love bag shopping and honestly who doesn’t!! Shopping for a bag or tote always takes me a while because I want to make sure that the tote “fits” with my wardrobe and that I will carry it 10 years from now. So when I saw this Kate Spade Cedar Street tote I knew that it would be a perfect fit for my wardrobe. I have been carrying it for a few weeks and it looks so chic. I have really enjoyed it! Lastly, if you missed my blog entry about How to Keep your Handbag Elegant see it here. Enjoy!!!

My tote. I love the gray color. Perfect for any season!!

I love the size and the “purse feet” at the bottom. 

The inside. I love the polka dot pattern. So feminine….
