Shake Your Booties!

Now that nursing school is behind me and I can broaden my fall shoe collection to include something other than tennis shoes, Dansko's or Uggs, I am ready to get my shoe shopping on! My fall shoe trend choice? Booties!!!
One of my favorite places to shop for shoes is Nordstrom. I love their trendy selection and the salespeople in my local store are wonderful - very helpful, but not at all pushy! Love that! So, I was browsing their website and I could feel my wishlist growing and my wallet shrinking as I eyed these beauties (Juicy Couture "Nadia" Booties):






And these (REPORT "Britt" Booties):






And these (N.Y.L.A. "Isabel" Booties) :




And, yes, these (Charles by Charles David "Fluster" Booties), too!


And check out these cuties, too:


Faux Cinched Booties from Forever 21
Metallic Ruched Booties from Charlotte Russe
REPORT Ritz Shoes from Buckle (not booties, but absolutely gorgeous anyway!)


I am picturing a fashionable fall filled with leggings, oversized tops and amazing booties! Although I am absolutely loving this design from Michael Kors Fall 2009 Collection. How incredible is this?



What are your fall fashion must-haves?

Until next time, XOXO!!

Polish of the Week: Spontaneous by China Glaze




Hey, beauties! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! My computer is still being worked on, but fortunately, I was able to scrounge up a polish of the week for you! Hopefully I will get my computer back sometime this week, if not by the weekend. I feel naked without it! LOL!

Anyway, this week's color is Spontaneous by China Glaze. It's a beautiful creamy lilac color. I always think of Easter when I wear this polish - hmmm, maybe because of the pastel color perhaps? Unlike last week's color, Turned Up Turquoise, this is a richer color with great coverage! Two coats and you're done with no sheerness to it at all!












You can find this color at:
Sally's Beauty Supply: $4.99

China Glaze Diva: $5.40

Until next time, XOXO!!

More Fun with Polyvore

Hello, beauties! I've been playing more on polyvore.com and wanted to show you all some of the designs I put together. If you have not checked out this website and you love to play around with fashion, this is the best website for that! They have so many different items to choose from and piece together. Another great thing about the website is that they include the price and the place to actually buy that particular piece! So, you really can buy your own personally designed outfit! So, check it out and show me what you all design!









Let me know what you think!

Until next time, XOXO!!

Just over a month left before the release of MAC's new Style Black line! I am just so excited about this line! I'm not quite sure what to do with black lipsticks and mattenes, but I am looking forward to playing around with them to see what can be created!
Here is a sneak peek for you guys, compliments of temptalia.com....

Polish Of The Week: Turned Up Turquoise by China Glaze

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great weekend! I'm experiencing some computer issues at the moment (aka crashing!) so I'm doing updates from work - Shhhhh! I don't know if I will be able to get an update scheduled for every day this week (I should be getting my computer back sometime this weekend), but I'll do what I can!


Ok, so my polish of the week is one of my faves - especially for the summer! It's called "Turned Up Turquoise" by China Glaze. This color is gorgeous, the pictures can't do it justice. I would say it's more on the green side so I wouldn't exactly call this color turquoise but almost like a mermaid green color. Does that make any sense? :) This color dries super fast, probably because it's a more sheer color, which leads me to my only issue with this particular color - you need a really good base coat and at least two layers of this polish. You can probably see the white from my french manicure trying to shine through the color! I put on two coats - shoulda gone with three! But it is such a gorgeous color! Definitely check it out!

Hmmmm, what do you think...?

Ok, I will be the first to admit that I have a near obsession with Kim Kardashian. I literally am on her website every day! She is just out of this world gorgeous. She's incredibly sexy with her curves and is proud of them - which I love! Plus her sense of style just rocks.

I don't know if anyone has seen it yet, but she decided to go blonde recently! Yes, her jet black hair is now blonde...for real! Not quite sure if I truly love it or not, but there is not denying the fact that she is beautiful enough to pull it off. While I feel her black hair made her a bit more unique in a blonde-set Hollywood, the color still compliments her skin tone.

What do you guys think?

Seriously, can a woman possibly be any more beautiful?
