30 Days of Shoes for September: Day 1

September is readers choice month!

 

Not exactly sure if that’s a real thing but it’s definitely something I created for all of you wonderful readers aka my “stylish sweets!” Last month, I posted a poll question for my Facebook fans and Instagram followers. Wanting to hear from you guys, the question was…

 

Would you rather see?

A) 30 days of heels

B) 30 days of any shoes

C) 30 days of bags

D) something else

 

So, you have spoken, well, some of you and it’s been decided that it’s a tie! We’re all shopaholics and lovers of fashion, a tie is only fitting! The winning votes were for B) 30 days of shoes and D) 30 days of shoes under a certain price…that’s almost the same thing and it’s absolutely fabulous!

 

 

Here are the first pair of shoes…

 

$89

 

 

 

Have you guessed the 30 day theme? It was hard, trust me!

The task was putting these 30 days on a budget. Easier said than done. My first idea was anything under $50 but then I realized, we could possibly miss out on tons of cute shoes. The next thought was $75 but what about those designers that price shoes at $89 or $99?! What about the $149 pair that could be on sale this week? See, it gets tricky!

 

30 Days of Shoes Under $100 = problem solved!

 

Can’t wait to see the next 28 days!

 

Happy Shopping!

 

 

Fall Trends 2013 (Pt.2): Splurge Worthy


Welcome to part two of the “Splurge Worthy Fall Fashion Trends of 2013.”

 

No need to get discouraged stylish sweets, the savvy saving fashionista in all of us will be revived for next week series. For now, it’s time to let our eyes glisten with price tag envy!

 

1992 called and they told us to come get EVERYTHING!

 

 Yes! The 90’s are back like they never left so if you grew up wearing tartan flannel shirts, chunky heels and loose clothes to school almost everyday (like me), this fall trend is for YOU! Even if you didn’t go through the tomboy phase…there is no time like the present.

Where to buy: clockwise


$54 ~ Studded Plaid Shirt (black & white/red) ~ Pretty Rebel

$208 ~ Wren Moto Jacket ~ Mynt1792

$119 ~ Silk Tartan Tank ~ Ralph Lauren

I’ve gotta be honest here…I never really stopped wearing plaid or army fatigue. Not all out Bob Vila but I’ve bought at least one plaid shirt or dug out one of my exes old shirts for lounging around. This may just be a blessing in disguise! Kudos to me for not ever completely growing out of the 90’s!

There is a new trend for 2013…a more feminine grunge; ruffles on camo, studs on plaid…you name it, it’s out there!
