In Bed I Lay, With Nothing but Your T-shirt On

Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen: Rarely do I look to celebrities for fashion inspiration but these two and a few others (Nicole Richie, Rachel Zoe) are exceptions. Reason being, they don't listen to trends or stylists but they wear what they feel. Their clothing is a weapon used to express themselves and they do this in an innate, artistic way. In 2007, Ashley and Mary-Kate debuted THE ROW with one mission, to make the most perfect, luxurious t-shirt. Today THE ROW has expanded and included essentials such as leggings, evening wear, handbags, sunglasses, etc. You can find more about THE ROW at this website: http://www.therow.com/about.
Now, I wish I could go on to speak about the multiple pieces I own from this collection but the truth is, I don't have the money to afford it. However, Ashley and Mary-Kate have now started stylemint.com. Basically, this website offers access to exclusively designed and executed t-shirts without the high price. All t-shirts are $29.95 and if you're like me who lives in t's then that price is well worth it. You log on to stylemint and create a personalized fashion profile. Each month, t-shirt styles are picked for you and you can choose to buy or skip. Check out some of my August pieces.


Melrose t-shirt: Stylemint.com $29.99
I would pair the Melrose with a pair of high-waisted khakis or straight leg khaki's. You could also pair with jeans. You could totally dress this t-shirt up or down depending on the occasion.


Filmore t-shirt: Stylemint.com $29.99
The filmore you could wear with white pants or a white straight skirt. Again, you could dress this t- up or down and simply wear with jeans.

Won't Poke Holes in the Seats with My Heels, Cuz that's Where We Make LoVe

I am obsessed with shoes. I know I have already mentioned this but seriously, I am addicted. The perfect shoe can transform an outfit. I recently blogged about a website Shoedazzle.com, well ladies and gents… I have fabulous news. I stumbled upon two more websites that are similar to Shoedazzle. The first website is http://shoeprivee.com/ When you log in, you create a style profile. Every month you are featured a certain number of shoes and each pair costs $39.95. You do not have to buy every single month. If you do make a purchase, then you do have to click a certain button if you would like to skip a month. The next website is http://www.solesociety.com/ You create an account, log in, and then create your own unique profile. Every month, they offer six shoes and you decide whether or not to buy or skip. Honestly, I’m pretty poor so I haven’t bought a lot of pairs from these websites yet but that doesn’t matter. It has been fun to go on and see the different styles featured each month. If anything, I get ideas each month as to what is stylish right now. Seriously, CHECK these websites out. They are worth it!
These are some shoes featured in my closets this month.


-Shoe Privee: Glamour Rock Chic: $39.95

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.

Featured ADORABLE Mulberry Shoe.. I would have purchased this but it was out of stock :(
