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!

 

 

Lustful Looks


Hey there stylish sweets! Welcome to another mid-week in August, we won’t be able to say that pretty soon! As September approaches, the weather cools down, trees lose their leaves, and we start reaching for layers. For fall, I’ll continue to do shopping posts which feature items that are affordable and those that are, um, shall we say…not too affordable for us everyday chicks! Also, drum roll please… New York Fashion Week is coming up in September as well. Definitely excited for that but between those runway posts, I’m thinking of doing an everyday post just for the month of September. Currently trying to decide between “30 Days, 30 Heels” or just “30 Days, 30 Shoes”…what do you guys think?

Anywho, now that I have you all caught up…let’s look at a few things I’m lusting over right now! Some of these are far out of my reach but that won’t stop me from drooling over them from time to time. See what’s on my mind and what needs to be in my closet, after the jump! (click “read more” below)

Friday Fashion Faves: Designer Edition

It’s the weekend, time to to get your sleep in! That is literally ALL I want to do…sleep! We all know that’s not going to happen. Stopping by the post office to ship the fabulous Julep Maven prize, Iron Man 3 and shopping is on my agenda for the weekend. Not to shabby if I do say so myself. Speaking of shopping, I’ve been eyeing a certain pair of Kors sneakers lately.

 

THIS pair of Michael Kors sneakers to be exact. Priced at $195 on MichaelKors. 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s rare that I’ll get shoes from anywhere other than DSW because they have ev-e-ry-thing and it’s priced way way below suggested retail pricing. But this pair of sneaks need to be in my closet as soon as possible…they’ll go with practically anything and last through the seasons. While I was surfing the MK site, I noticed tons of other things and you know he does curvy sizes too!

 

Here are all of my current favorites from Michael Kors…ENJOY!

Well, that was fun. That won’t help my shopping addiction AT ALL.

 

Stepping Into Spring with Stylish Shoes

It’s been a while since I’ve went shoe shopping…by a while I mean a couple months. So yes, this is what I’d call a “drought” and I am upset about it! The best thing to do in this scenario: look at the new arrivals from the spring and summer lines that are going up on store shelves. Plus this will give me (and you) a pretty good idea of what we need covering our toesies in the coming weeks.

 

I’m a true girly girl with a sports edge so my shoe collection ranges from extreme heels to low skateboard type sneakers. Try to stay versatile with your shoe game because you never know when a certain pair will come in handy. If you want to try something new and different from your normal shoe-style, stick with the least expensive stores and brands. It’s not really a good idea to spend $250 on 2-inch hidden platform, 5-inch heels if you’ve never worn a pair before.

 

So, here’s where the fun part comes in! As I do with all shopping posts, there will be a dreamy high price shoe and “the look for less” shoe! Let’s get shoe shopping…
