Shoes are Like Candy, You Always Have to Sneak at Least One Pair

*I found this image on GOOGLE IMAGES...I love it because it screams, I LOVE SHOES:)

I am a shoe addict!  Ever since I started working on events and the blog for Stems a shoes boutique in Tucson, my closet is full!  I was scanning the shoes online today and thought I would share some cute new styles out there...a girl can never have to many shoes, and it is fun to start an ensemble with your shoes...just try it! 

The brand that Stems is selling like hot cakes is Betseyville, it is a smaller line for Betsey Johnson that makes incredible designs that have her corky prints that just scream Betsey Johnson!  

I love exaggerated lengths in high top sneakers today...and I think it is AMAZING how a brand like Ed Hardy is so recognizable recently...I honestly didn't know about Ed Hardy until about a year ago...In Tucson, there are stores that sell only Ed Hardy, even Dillards has a section dedicated to Ed Hardy...I am like wow...this is serious...and it is:)  Ed Hardy designs were even featured on the Janice Dickinson show!  

Wedges are STRONG now matter what height you buy them in...but, right now, I am LOVING any shoes with beading...the style just reminds me of my trip to India.

The Mudd shoes, shoe us how we can incorporate the floral trend into our look without having it right in your face...the print on the shoe is a subtle way of adding the trend in to your wardrobe.  

This is What I was Looking for, And this Is what I found...

It is funny, last year, I was looking EVERYWHERE for T-Strap shoes...couldn't find them anywhere, but I saw them in every fashion mag...and now you can find the style anywhere you look...so, now, I am looking for a trouser....at first I was looking for a cigarette pant...and now, I am not sure what to call the style, but I am seeing it everywhere...I found similar looks on Old Navy's website...but, I can't decide if it resembles what I am searching for...what do you all think?

So Cute! Street Chic in Australia from Elle.com

I LOVE checking out the Street Chic finds on Elle.com...here are a few of my fave looks recently....sign up for Elle.com emails and get updates whenever the site has new street shots.I am loving this style, so chic.  Belts are still strong and I am going to just keeping working them with all of my ensembles:)  (+) the scarves are remaining very strong in the spring/summer season as well...I LOVE the way the skirt goes so high that it meets the vest and looks like my favorite dresses right now...I was thinking of getting a high waist stretch cotton skirt and pairing with the same in a tank and wearing it like a dress this summer, but this is another way to achieve the look.I can't personally do this look, but I love the skinny jeans with the gladiators.

Sex and The City...Almost A Month Away!

I know all of us are sitting on the edge of our seats waiting to see what Sex and the City, the Movie will bring!  There are themed parties being planned (in honor of all things fashion represented in the movie), pictures all over the web and in every fashion respecting publication for the month of May!  But, Andre' Leon Talley, whom I passed on the streets of 5th Ave in front of Tiffany's once will also be in the movie playing none other than himself!  Also, Manolo made a shoe just for Carrie Bradshaw, I wonder if the shoe will be sold to the public?  That would be genius!  I would have to save every penny to own a pair:)

You Will Never Believe Where These Skirts Are From!

Doesn't this just say Kate Spade to you?  I love the color detail!  The skirt comes in a tomato red color with brown, pink and white stripes or a magenta color with red, brown and white stripes.  I just love the skirt!

This skirt is on sale online at only $8!  It looks like a Tory Burch style skirt, no??  I love it and the fabric is very strong!

So, I bet after saying the price of the second skirt you guess where these are from, WALMART!  Not, Target, but Walmart!  I love finding my gems at Walmart, so I had to share:)

I am LOVING all things Forever 21 accessories right now

I usually don't like art on my bags, but, I LOVE this style from Longchamp

This is an excerpt from the Longchamp website describing the line: 

This is the new fantasy theme for Le Pliage bags. It’s an original design for Longchamp created by the French illustrator Robert Wagt. Each bag is an episode of the comic strip that tells the story of a fashion victim and her very active life, from Paris to New York as well as Saint-Tropez and who, after all her travelling finally finds rest at home, in London, Tokyo or maybe Sydney.

V for Vintage is up and running The Fab Site!

I LOVE the video snippets from Who What Wear Daily, and now, one of my fave sites for outfit ideas from My-Wardrobe.  The video goes through three trends highlighting the trend that is happening for the season and what they love!  I love it!  It is just as good as the email blasts that are sent out that I adore.

What I wore in India, plus a couple of looks from the streets

Handbags Made in India

These handbags are AMAZING!  These are like handbags you see by designers, Oscar de la Renta or Ports 1961, but AUTHENTIC!  I got to go into a location where they made these shoulder gems and had to share with all of you! 

The Quest For Bangles: Designers making bangles right in front of me!

This is the finished product.:)
I had incredible experiences like this seen below where I was able to watch the people that make the beautiful bangles that we see here in the States as well as in India.  The people were so welcoming to the experience.  I truly felt like I got a great piece of India just from the opportune moments I was able to see these things occur.  

Back From India

Hello ALL!

I have been MIA due to my fabulous trip to India, family visiting and my hubby packing up to leave to Iraq (he is in the Air Force):(  So, with all that in mind, I am back now...I will share soo many things in the next weeks...keep checking, lots of fun stuff!

Makeover Show: The Tyra Banks Show

I love Tyra's makeover themed shows...I remember when she used to be a guest on Oprah sharing fashion news...I still LOVE America's Next Top Model over the Tyra show...but, I always have to share when there is a show to DVR...this week, check out The Tyra show on March 5th for a show called, How do I look, getting women out of their style ruts. 

Caftan LOVE

I already own a coupon of vintage caftans that I adore because they are so comfy, effortless and chic...and I plan to buy some in India while I am here, but, I just saw that Old Navy will be selling a fabulous option that everyone should run and get for only $24.50...you can't beat that price! 

Free is ALWAYS A Magic Word

My grandfather always said nothing in life is free...I guess he is partially right...but, it still is fun to hear that something is free regardless of how you get it....Well, to get to the point, Net-a-porter has sent me an email about their free shipping until March 10.  Simply enter 'FREESHIP' in the promo box when checking out and voila...no extra cost!  Don't you deserve it:)
