California.... knows how to party

Scenario: you have the perfect outfit picked for a night out, but something is missing... what is it ? ? accessories perhaps. YES! This summer the must have accessory is the Fedora. You can pair it with jeans and a t-shirt for a casual look or pair it with with a tight skirt and heels for a sexy style. Other must have accessories this summer include bright, bold bangles, lightweight scarves, and knuckle rings. You can completely change an outfit by adding accessories. And you don't have to pay a ton of money for them. I recently went to Forever 21 and found $1.50 simple gold charm necklaces. I bought ten of them!!! Totally worth spending your money on pieces you know you can mix and match to make new outfits. See some suggestions below!!

Summer Lovin'

I can't believe it is already the end of May. With two months left, I plan on getting my fill and wearing all of my summer statement pieces. What I am loving right now includes bright heels, bright jeans, bright .. EVERYTHING!! However, white is also a favorite in summer and looks amazing with a statement shoe. Get moving ladies while it is still hot out!!

Keep Rockin Keep Knockin Whether you Louboutin in it up or Reebokin

Shoes. I am an addict. That is the first step, admitting it. There is something about a unique, well constructed, high heel that I just can not resist. Honestly, I believe that if you wore the same outfit every day for a week but changed shoes, nobody would notice. And as well all know, no matter what size we are, or become, are shoes still fit. Now, I am going to let you in on another little secret someone passed along to me. There is a website, that you can join for FREE, you take a style quiz, and then at the beginning of every month stylists pull several shoes for you to choose from. At this point, you decide if you would like to purchase any (the cost for every and any shoe is $39.99 and there is free shipping). Now you are not charged anything until you make your first purchase. After you do make a purchase, you are considered a member. Which leads me into a minor, slight, drawback. If the next month, you don't have the cash to spend on a pair of shoes or an accessory (yes, they also have purses) then you have to opt out of that month meaning you have to MAKE SURE to go on and click something on the website so that your credit card does not get charged. Now let's get down to real business... the website I am referring to is www.shoedazzle.com I'm sure you have heard of it before, it features stylists such as Kim Kardashian, Anya Sarre, Provi Fulp, Heather Zweigel, Melis Kuris, Mal Pearson, and Merika Rock. I just joined in May and haven't purchased anything yet, simply because what I wanted was out of stock. However, let me tell you I am in heaven people. $39.99 for a pair of heels is a steal.

Rumor Has It ....

Who doesn't love handbags?? They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, patterns, AND they make a statement when added to an outfit. So what's the problem? Well, a lot of quality handbags are expensive.... and not just hundreds of dollars expensive, we're talking thousands. I'm not sure I would every drop thousands on a purse but more power to the people who can. For the rest of us, we have to find quality bags that will last without dropping major dinero. There is a brand that I have come to love the past couple of years and I'm going to share my hidden secret gem with all of you. Melie Bianco bags are priced right and are quality bags that last. I've bought a couple of pieces here and there and keep going back for more. If you log on to the website, you will notice when you click the Press tab that Melie Bianco bags have been featured in a ton of magazines and recently, Rachel Zoe (fashion guru) featured one of Melie's bags on her blog. If you are thinking about splurging for a new bag, I urge you to check out the website::

Get Up, Pack it In, Let Me Begin.. Jump Around


Gucci 2011 Runway Look


Louis Vuitton 2011 Runway Look
Can't Afford these... Keep reading ! !


I have fabulous news! There is one outfit this season that is going to change everything. It is the pant jumpsuit. Ladies, you know it usually takes us about 45minutes to an hour to choose and finally decide what exactly we are going to wear. We pick a top then we pick a skirt, pants, shorts, then shoes, then we have to decide on jewelry and a clutch. I mean, why do guys think this is easy??? It's tough, especially when you have an idea in mind of how you want to look and your plan slowly starts to crumble. I normally have a panic attack and melt down at this point. Then, I start from the bottom up and allow my shoes to pick my outfit. BUT this summer there is a game changer. It is the pant jumpsuit!!!! It is pants and a top in one. Seriously, that means that in 5 minutes you have your whole outfit. All that is left for you to do is pick cute wedges or heels, jewelry and your on your way. Everybody will be shocked when, instead of taking 45 minutes, it takes you a half hour! hahaha Jumpsuits were on the runways this spring at Louis Vuitton and Gucci but I don't have the pocketbook to splurge on those. However, some of our favorite stores have pant jumpsuits that are just as adorable. I just made my summer purchase at H & M and guess how much it cost me, $15.00!!! Yes, only $15.00. Seriously a WHOLE outfit for less than twenty dollars. I was in heaven. Take a look at the amazing finds below from Forever 21:
