Happy Love Day!

I'm..... I can't even think of what I am right now. There's no reason not to write. I allowed myself to get distracted by bullshit and neglected all ya'll. I'm back!

It's Valentine's Day and me and my imaginary boyfriend are getting dressed for a date. I'm not sure where he's taking me but I know its gonna be good- he's so thoughtful!


Gotta do red shoes! Red shoes are sexy and always turn up the smut on any outfit. The sky high heel on these have a definite c.f.m factor. These are the "HIGHEST HEEL" by Hottie. They aren't expensive although they look like some couture brands, $54.95 at Zappos.com. My boyfriend will want me to keep these on long after dinner and dessert are done.


This line is the best! All of the shirts & cardigans say something really kitchy or slightly smutty- everything you wish you could say aloud without worrying someone was listening. This shirt says "I LOVE PORN"- for Valentine's Day, what else could a guy ask for? This shirt is $53 at Lochers.com. Check out the site NOW!


I can remember having a skirt like this in like 5th grade- and I love this one just as much as I loved the one I had back then. The wash is very old school but the cut is very now. You can almost never go wrong with a pencil skirt. Check it out on UrbanOutfitters.com for $58.

So if I'm this cute, my huney has to be just as fly-


I'm usually not real big in guns on anything, especially clothes but this shirt is the exception. It's by Rebelyell, "Unruly" in Raglan Blue. You have to visit 80spurple.com- it's kinda like karmaloop.com in that it has the lines you won't find everywhere and that the stuff is super hot. My man looks good in his $73 shirt.


Fresh a** jeans! I rarely like black jeans but these are nice because of the wash. They don't quite look black. The Orisue AOI Classic Fit Jean- the line is really fly too- can be found at Karmaloop.com for $86.


Vans has some really great shoes for men and women. These are actually unisex. A lavender shoe should really be for girls but for this outfit, its for my man. $65 at Vans.com.

I thought about posting lingerie but my boyfriend thinks its sexier when i skip it :)


Happy valentine's Day!

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!

Merry Christmas!

Hey all you shoppers! Merry Christmas- I am taking a few more days off to do all my family stuff. New Years is coming so there's a lot of posting to do of fancy dresses and sexy shoes! See you soon- egg nog and pine needles!

Too bad, so sad...

There are a few things I like more than clothes and shoes. At the top of my list of additional likes are men. In all occasions with men, I try to make sure they know I like nice clothes and shoes (this way they can never go wrong with gifts- they know what I like from the jump- lol). Now, there are 3 very specific instances I make sure I look spiffy with anything involving the opposite sex. Below are my scenarios and the looks for each. Boots are my favorite shoe style, so each scenario involves boots. Let me know what you think-

Scenario 1
"Oh sh*t, he's fine and coming my way!"- 1st Meeting
Imagine you're having dinner and drinks with your girls at a really cute, new spot. You step away from the table and head to the restroom. As you get up from the table, you spot a dangerously fine man heading in your direction, smiling hard as hell at you. He's smiling really hard because you look amazing!

Sequinned anything is in right now. I love sequinnes! This dress is like many of the designer ones all over but this one is fab-slash-carnote friendly- Urban Outfitters, $78.00.


I love color and its always nice to wear a vibrant color on your feet when you wear black clothes. Shave your legs and slather on the cocoa butter! Steve Madden, Cosetta $129.95



Scenario 2
"This isn't working for me anymore, maybe we should just be friends."- The Breakup
It wasn't your fault things didn't work. He's a cool guy but being in a relationship with him isn't a good idea right now. The last thing he should rememeber about you is how great you looked when you broke it off. Maybe how great you look coupled with your speech will make him get his act together- lol.

Since the last thing he'll see are your feet as you walk away, you have to wear these...


Of course they're by Steve Madden. This color makes me think of a leather trench coat from the 70's. You can work these again with a dress or a skirt on a date with the new beau- lol. A great buy for $103.96


Great fitting jeans always make guys nuts, especially ones you're leaving in the dust. These are the Skyline Drive skinny jeans from Paige Premium Denim. They retail for $179.00 but you got them from the sample sale (12/22 at Siren Studios in L.A. :)


American Apparel, long sleeved, scoop neck shirt- on sale for $12. Need I say more???

Then top it with this-

Wet Seal $19.50

and this...


You need this ring by Jules Smith designs (Julessmith.com).

Then perfect a dramatic exit 'cause you look good girl!

Scenario 3
"I messed up bad! How did I let that amazing creature go?"- The Run-Into
This one is my favorite! It's nothing like seeing an ex and you look even more stunning than when you met, dated and broke up. You can ususally tell from their face how wonderful you look and how dumb they feel for letting you slip through their fingers.

Strut in these

I'm usually anti-knock off or anything that resembles something designer when its not. However, there are acceptions to any rule. These red soled, patent leather lace up boots are hot! $89.00 at flyjane.net

Snatch these out your closet or for the price, buy a new pair

Forever21.com, $4.50

I like layering; pretend its cold-


I've never really shopped at American Eagle, but that's about to change. This army surplus coat is $59.95 and you can't beat that!


Also, American Eagle for $49.50 (this is definitely a repeat piece).

with a simple tee

Forever21.com, $14.00

and of course some jewelry!

Another great piece by Jules Smith Designs. The designer, Gina Nigrelli, makes some awesome stuff! You have to visit the site- I will be posting their stuff all week. The line is based in the U.S. Virgin Islands and is a really fun line with sexy, sophisticated pieces. All of their stuff feels like something you'd buy for yourself as a well-deserved treat.

I need you guys to comment and tell me what you think. Don't just look, talk to me! Lol-
