Relax, relate, release

I NEED TO BLOW OFF SOME STEAM SO I'M WRITING!!! Forgive me for such a short post but this is about me today- lol. So..... last week, I had a few things to happen to me (being a grown up) so in the mist of the bullsh*t, I decided to do one of my favorite things- BUY SHOES! I grabbed some plastic (a debit card- credit cards can be evil) and hit Off Broadway, determined to buy something to give me a deep, warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction.

These were calling me! There were a few other pairs I really like but these yelled Spring-slash- Summer the loudest. The color will work with almost anything and the ankle strap adds a bit of good girl gone bad- hi-5 J-Lo! Athena by Just Sweet, retail $69.99 at JustSweet.com (but the bargain hunter in me found them for $48 bucks!!!) Now I have to find something to wear with them- I, as much as a fashionista as I am, need to figure out what to wear with them. I'm open to suggestions everyone :)

April Showers brings May shopping

I think I mentioned how much I love Summer once or 10 times before. I'm not into the sweaty, hot like hell part of Summer but when the weather is warm enough to ditch a jacket and make sure the backs of your thighs are Naired. We are slowly inching towards this joyous season where sundresses and sandals rule the fashion kingdom with an iron ankle strap (lol).

This cute dress is perfect for anything cute on a summer Saturday. Gotta date? Wear this. Gotta wash the car? Wear this. Lunch you say?- you got it by now I'm sure. It's a great length, shows a little bit of cleave (you could even wear a bikini top underneath for more accessory appeal) and the color says cool. Visit Alloy.com- $39.50.

Flat sandals are my favorites- these are perfect for the dress.

$20.00 from Newport News- they used to be a catalogue full of old lady clothes and now they've stepped up their game. I don't usually like to be too matchy but this works because the shoes are brighter than the blue in the dress. Gold ones would work, I might even be bold enough to work the fushia. The shoes paired with the dress makes for a great look for less than $60.00 and you look like a million!

In my last post, I featured a pair of NYLA gladiator sandals I was TOTALLY in love with. I ran right out and bought them for $70. 3 days into owning them, they started tear. THAT'S UNACCEPTABLE! So wanting gladiator sandals, I bought these above from Bakers for $49.99. Cheaper, made much better and a heavier grain of leather- YOU SHOULD BUY SOME TOO!

I think I'm going to start posting what I buy to this blog, just so everyone knows I buy what I preach. I will post soon- off to make some money to buy more stuff!!!!
