Splurge or Save...

Unfortunately, I have to admit my obsession with Nordstrom (more specifically- 'First Floor' at Mall of America- Nordstrom).  I often code name it just that, First Floor, because it is where all the heavenly goodness lies.  My weakness for shoes, skincare, jewelry, handbags, sunglasses, & any other imaginable designer accessory... reside on this floor & I am a frequent window shopper of this department.

I perused First Floor  yesterday & euphoria came over my body! So much summer time couture, all in one place, I could not help but share My 10 Favorite Items from First Floor...


1. Stuart Weitzman Animal Print Espadrille (drooling...)

2. Helen Kaminski Woven Hat
Perfect paired with a bright colored cover-up on a luxurious boat cruise...


3. Diane Von Furstenburg Chiffon Floral Scarf
Add life to a sundress on those chillier evenings or even tie around your free-flowing locks as a wrap...


4. Burberry Neon Leather Double Wrap Belt
Loving the double layers, perfect for summer, I cannot get enough neon...


5. Lodis Smartphone Case 
Forget your typical wristlet- opt for a phone case! Slick enough for the necessities on-the-go: phone, lipgloss, credit card... 




6. Swarovski Blue Tinted Aviator Sunglasses
I am adoring 'blue-tint' right now & embellished sides are even better...


7. Fendi Ceramic Abalone Watch 
omg. enough said.


8. Kate Spade Flat Black Embellished Sandal
Quintessential to dressing up any summer look...


9. Marc Jacobs Ivory Quilted Cross-body Handbag
Eternally chic, quilted & chained... a staple item for your closet...




10. Alexis Bittar Bone Adorned Statement Necklace
My love for statement necklaces continues! I especially love to bone hooked clasp...



So where the issue lies is when to Splurge or when to Save?  Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate an amazing piece of design couture & never question why the price is so expensive, simple because I just enjoy it as art to admire and not take home.  I love fashion & it is my 'art' but often times my art & bank account do not coincide.  Perfect for a girl like me, because I get a thrill off of finding similar pieces at a much more affordable price. So let's try this again...






























So don't be afraid to shop around! Saving $ means having more $ to spend on other fashionable goodness!!

Slide into Summer Stylishly...

Summer is right around the corner (hopefully) & there are so many fun, new, vibrant trends for you to work with!! If there are attributes to the following looks that you are not particularly fond of, pick & pull the pieces that you do like & tailor them to a look that more suites you!

A very popular spring/summer trend has been playing around with floral prints!  To keep the look casual, cuff your denim & pair it with flats...



Another trend that I am loving right now has been splashes of animal print mixed with a very carefree style.  Simple t-shirt, mixed with simple jewelry & relaxed denim, really make an animal print attribute, pop with flair...


Try playing around with pastels this spring & summer.  The colors are easy to mix & match together & look perfectly fresh for the weather...


When keeping a summer outfit effortless & all you want to do is throw on jeans & a t-shirt, adorn that simple style with fun accessories!  Try a vivacious pattern on a large tote matched with oversized bangles...


I am obsessed with the 'safari' style & although I cannot personally pull off the entire look, here are pieces within the 'safari' trend that I think work so well together!  Army green paired with gold adorned accessories & bronzed leather... perfection!


A trend more popular for a summer evening look would have to entail plum, peeptoe heels & a dramatic accessory or two.  If you are going to keep your outfit neutral, play up the rest of your style with dazzling  accessories...



This is my ultimate favorite summer style, everything I adore, tied into one!  Gold accessories, dramatic featured top, sky-high leopard print peeptoe heels, & of course, my go-to staple item... a blazer...

Slither into Spring... On a Budget...

So I received a lot of emails about interest in Snake Skin Adorned Heels & I wanted to share with you all some great styles I found, for a girl on a budget!  All of these are under $100 & would be fabulous to add to your closet for this spring & summer!

Another inquiry I received was pertaining specifically what to wear heels like these with?  My suggestions are to always, always, always keep it simple!  In order for this pattern to not look tacky, keep the rest of your outfit downplayed with neutral colors & subtle fabrics.
