I miss you guys!

I haven't forgotten about you guys- I've gotten emails asking where I've been. I'll be back soon, like later today- maybe :)

Build A Boo

I went in 2 dates this week and they were "meh" at best. I saw an ex... I will spare you all the sad details. Those mediocre dates and my Toys R Us ex ("I don't wanna grow up...", you know the song...) got me thinking. I have always made things materialize in my life- this blog is a medium I've used to get my clothing addiction addressed and treated. Why not use this blog as a platform to build-a-boo? There's a really old cliche', "Clothes make the man". Well, I'm gonna find myself some really hot boy clothes and make a boo appear!

For me, there are formulas for a hotly dressed boyfriend.
NICE JEANS+HOT SHOES+FLY SHIRT= SEXY MAN!
SWEATER> OR = TO TRACK JACKET
ME(X), X=MAN IN CARGO SHORTS


You guys know I love Urban Outfitters- these are the Nike Quick Strike Blazer in Red. $105.


Asos- jeans! Nice wash, slim fit but no too slim. Lithium Slim & Slouchy, not too bad at $79.84 at asos.com.



This shirt is the best! Karmaloop has great women's and men's clothes. My boo knows all about this site- I don't need to tell him about it. We're going to a movie and he's wearing this outfit. He's cute, right?! He bought this online at Karmaloop.com- Pride tee by Scifen; $28.00.

Even the boy in the picture is cute! So I have a focus for the next few blogs. I am going to focus on creating looks for men. I'm making a love appear in my life and I am dressing him to fit right in. I'm adding this to-do on my "make 08 great" list. Keep watching and bring your boo. Maybe he can learn something from mine :)

Shesa my birthday!

I am a princess today! I am going to wear a tiara and if I knew people wouldn't look and think I was nuts, I'd wear a tutu and a leotard like I did when I was six. So in lieu of a tutu, here is my grown-up version of a princess frock and ballet slippers (lol).


I look like it's my birthday! I am a fancy cake topper. I love this dress. It is real old skool prom updated. The ruffles are perfect, the satin is divine! Go to asos.com where you can find it for $171.08.

Happy Birthday to me damnit! See these?!


These are so hot, you have to peep the soles!

Heels.com is a great site- it makes me smile. These Report Signature love pumps are $222.99

For accessories, I'm carrying these!

Balloonplanet.com- hint, hint!!

Okay readers, stay tuned to the blog- I am celebrating my birthday all year so party hats for everyone! Happy Cake Day to me... THANK YOU MOMMY!

And a very Merry New Year to you...

I did a huge thing and stayed home tonight. I decided to stay home instead of getting all dolled up and hitting the stroll. I sorta believe how you begin your New Year sets the tone for reoccurring theme of the year. So... I decided to spend my first few moments blogging, being productive in the effort of making me better in the new year- nothing conveys newness better than a new dress :)

If I had gone out tonight...



This would have gotten me some action. Its from French Connection (FCUK- I know what it looks like-) for $148. Really cute and classic enough to wear after tonight.

A good dress deserves good shoes-

I saw these in the store but they weren't on sale- better get em' online; SteveMadden.com, Kewl $55.97. The metallic faux skin is really cute and would look darling with some tights underneath that dress.

Can't skip jewelry

How sweet are these?! More Jules Smith Designs. These lip earrings are more than enough sparkle. Very classy and would look great with some curls. No necklace needed but you might want to grab some simple silver bangles. Visit JulesSmithDesigns.com

I'm notorious for liking the same kind of stuff. I will buy something with a slight variation but basically the same.

Although this is a tube dress also, its not like the one above- lol. This dress is from Steve Madden (I think that line is a favorite- they hooked me at the shoes.) Navy blue is a great alternative to black and anything with a bow in the front is good for just about anyone.Go to the website to check on the price.


Red shoes!!!! The navy blue and red create a kinda nautical look but you can never go wrong with this combination. I found them on Heels.com- which is a great site for shoe lovers and shoppers. Not bad at $102.99

Now for the finishing touch... I said sailor style so I had to find this


Google is an amazing thing! I would have never known about Capecodnauticalgifts.com if I hadn't done a search for what I wanted. How cute is this?! It's $55.00- not bad. Visit the site- they have lots of cool, nautical-esque things.

I decided about a month ago to ditch resolutions. Instead of resolving or settling, this year, I am pushing myself a little harder to get closer to being who I want to be. Those life upgrades will definitely show up on this blog. I look forward to sharing with all of you this year and picking out fab shoes to match :)

Happy 2008!
