This is the second week of Work It Wednesday with Laura at A Little Bit of Lacquer! I'm really loving this kimono-style top with the big open sleeves. This style top is perfect for work because I have to cover up a tattoo on my arm, but it's still open enough where my arms aren't constricted all day. These pants are also really cute and I love the embellishments on the sides.

I'm also pretty obsessed with fringe. I want fringe on everything! I couldn't decide between this Jack Germain clutch and this striped satchel, I just love them both! I love the basket weaving technique they used for these Chinese Laundry leather heels, it's a little different from gladiators. The rich chocolate brown color of the Trussardi boots is what really attracted me to them, but I'm a sucker for booties of any kind!

I'm gonna cut this one off short because I must be off to work! And don't hate on this song, I love it.

Update!!! I snapped a picture of what I'm actually wearing today at work! A Colorblock Dress from Ruche and my Lane Bryant Houndstooth Cape (similar here)! (sorry for such a crappy cell phone picture)

I'm also wearing one of my favorite necklaces. I was looking through my grandma's jewelry one day yeaarrrss ago and fell in love with this little choker! She let me have it! <3

Happy Leap Day!!

I need to start keeping up with this more

I am starting to feel motivated and inspired to do my blog postings on a more regular basis. I definitely have a lot of shoe cravings- nothing's changed there. These past couple months have been hectic beyond belief. Scott and I moved out of his parent's house into our own apartment in Elmont, New York. The area is great. Floral Park High School is right down the block and we try to walk the track at least 3 or 4 times a week. This crappy weather has set us back this past week, though. Last night we made homemade cupcakes and frosting for Rosh Hashanah at Vicki's tonight. They came out pretty good for my first attempt at baking without a buying a cake mix from the grocery store. Ok, so on with my shoe obsession...

I am really digging these mensware-esque pumps and flats. They're masculine but definitely sexy and will turn some heads.

I wish these didn't have such hideous laces! I love the work boot feel, though. They remind me of my stepdad's boots that he refuses to replace until the soles wear through. I recently bought a pair of boots that have these same types of holes for the laces. They give some great detail to the shoes.

These are great. I love the western/cowboy vibe. I had a pair of cowboy boots when I was 16-17 that I absolutely adored. I really love wearing girly dresses and a "gruff" kind of shoe. It breaks the outfit up and gives a different feel to the whole look.

I found most of these on Piperlime.com. They have a great selection, surprisingly!

So, I'll be honest .... I like some of Jessica Simpson's (or as we call her, J SIMPS) shoes.

You can't deny a great shoe, no matter what the brand... right? Well I guess it depends. But I was ashamed at first because I liked some styles that J Simps designed.

SUMMER SHOES, WEDGES I WANT MORE MORE MORE

Betsey Johnson

 I fell in love with these the moment I saw them... So cute for a night out with a summer dress! Even could wear them to the office (which is where I usually am wearing most of my cute shoes unfortunately)...

I love the color of these shoes!!! I want these mossy green in a higher heel maybe a back-zip bootie or something...! These aren't bad but I really just want the color!

 

These are the perfect summer sandles! I think I might need to buy them.... Such a cute pale yellow and brown wedge... would look good with anything!

 

 

These are another unknown pair that I found but I really love the style of the heel. It's sort of part wedge part heel... Strange! But I like. And the laces make it edgy so you could dress them up with something sexy!

I need these

Bebe White and Cork Peep Toe Pump

Fendi Tan Leather Booties

Steve Madden Handwoven Rainbow Moccasin

So, I really need new summer shoes but I CAN'T buy any because we are moving out soon and have to save !!

On a good note, I just got a pedicure and I love the color. It's called Smooth Sailing by Essie.
