H&M Holiday Sale!

I love H&M because their clothes are so affordable and I am so stoked that they have a Holiday Sale with tons of new clothing and accessories perfect for Holiday parties. Just let me warn you, if you go to their site, and click on Holiday, it’s a mess. It’s so hard to look through their stuff with clothing and shoes flying everywhere you move your mouse, so I do suggest hitting up a store.

However, I did manage to find these on the site and man… I need them… now!

1. Golden Holiday Shoes

For $14.95, you really can’t beat this price. Plus these shoes are the shiznit! Even if you only wear them once!

2. Fabulous Cardigan

$34.95. For Holiday parties and regular parties, you’ll definitely get good use out of this cardigan. The high neck will keep you extra warm and the cable pattern adds the perfect amount of detail without looking too overdone. Hot damn!

Rain Boots Are A Must Have

Just like the title suggests, rain boots are a must have. Whether you live in CA where it rains about 20 times a year or Seattle where it rains every other day, you gotta get yourself a pair of rain boots. Why? Well, rainboots aren’t JUST for the rain. Mary Kate Olsen wears them when she goes to Starbusks. And Rachel Bilson owns a pair for running errands. I like to wear mine when I’m gardening after a rainy day, when I go to the snow (paired with some thick socks) or just because.

If you don’t want to splurge on the celeb-must-have Wellington Hunter boots (though Wellie’s are so cute), then you should check out the awesome selection at Target for …. $24.99! This is perfect for those of you who live in Cali and may not be venturing out in the rain anytime soon.

I Heart Jeweled Heart Flats

These flats by YesStyle are too adorable not to have and something that I am definitely adding to my wish list. Why must you have them now? Well that’s an easy question.

• Closed Toed – Work appropriate
• Flat Shoe – Comfortable to wear all day long
• Sequined – Dressy for parties or dress up jeans and a T-shirt
• Brown Leather – Classic and good quality

A versatile shoe like this always lasts a long time! It also comes in 2 other colors (black and wine).

Recessionista’s! Boots On Sale!

These fab boots are ::GASP:: only $98 on sale from FreePeople! I kind of don’t want to tell everyone because I want them all to myself, but I felt it my duty to tell all of you so you can share the fashion love. Buy them here!! What a steal.

Christian Louboutin Pink Glittery Goddess Shoes

If Christian Louboutin, Dorothy and Barbie all had a magical shoe child, this is exactly what it would look like. It’s Christian Louboutin’s Declic Glitter Pumps are they are beautiful, magical and everything in between. Not sure I can justify the $675 price tag, but one day I will have these – you’ll see. They are completely and utterly over-the-top and 250% girly but that are fabulous and they are me.

Corso Como “Val”- New Favorite Shoe!

I went shopping this weekend and lo and behold! I spotted these beauties! Corso Como “Val” heels. They are super cute with the silver snakeskin and leopard print. Now usually I don’t go for mixed animal print, but I could not resist these. Fashionable, stylish and flirty. They make a great shoe to dress it up at work or to go out in, not to mention the comfortability factor. And if you act quick, you can get them for 30% off at Bloomies! Score!

Race For The Cure! Pink Running Shoes

Though, this month is almost over, let’s not forget that it’s Breast Cancer Awareness month! Not only am I a huge supporter of Breast Cancer Awareness and the search for the cure, I love pink. Don’t believe me? Check out the Lindsey Chen Loves Pink video. Anyway, back to the point. If you are in need of running shoes, these are definitely ones that you should have! They are super cute and support Breast Cancer Awareness. I am actually thinking about buying these as having alternate training shoes for when i run the Rock n’ Roll Marathon! Also, why not add some cute pink clothing to go with it? After all, who wouldn’t want to work out in style?

Best Shoe For Running A Marathon! – Asics Kayano 15

I just purchased the pair of shoes that I’m going to be running the Las Vegas Rock N’ Roll 1/2 Marathon (13.1 miles) in. Asics – Kayano 15 – in Pink (in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month!) I am super stoked because the shoes are cute and not only very lightweight and comfortable. I ran 5 miles with them this morning – no problem!

Part of the main reason why I bought these is because my feet slighly turn into the arches (I am pronate) so these provide extra support. Also, because of the gel soles, they are really easy on the knees and joints. It’s not worth screwing up your knees. I love these shoes and if you are running a marathon, half marathon or even 10/5k, then I urge you to check them out!

Steve Madden Shoes on Sale!

This morning, in my inbox, I had a lovely email from Shop It To Me. I was very pleased to find that all these shoes and more were on sale from Steve Madden. What a great morning! I hadn’t been to Steve Madden for a while so I headed over to their site and wow… they have a ton of great shoes. What’s your best Steve Madden shoe find?

We’re all slightly hurting from the recessions that’s been going on for what seems like FOREVER! But, ladies, no matter how much or how little we make, we should still be stylish, right?

They have a ton of brands like Michael Kors, Steve Madden, Gucci, Victoria’s Secret, Urban Outfitters, Juicy, etc etc.

I love getting these emails – they always make my day and it saves me the time to have to scour the web and find great deals. Thanks Shop It To Me!

Running Shoes to Inspire Me to Run

Hello Ladies and Gents!

I am officially running my first 1/2 marathon on December 6th. The Rock ‘N’ Roll 1/2 Marathon in Las Vegas. 13.1 miles may not seem like a lot for many of you, but for me, I’d never run more than 3 miles until end of August 09. I’ve been slowly training and running, but after a sore ankle from running so much, it looks like I’m going to need a new pair of shoes.

Any suggestions? Currently I wear Mizunos and I think they provide a good arch support, which is what I’m looking for.

I do want pink shoes though. If anyone know a good pair of shoes with arch support, then that’s a total WIN WIN!

I melt with you, Michael Kors shoes!

Ok, so how adorable are these?? AHHH I love them so much. They are sassy and trendy yet they say “I ROCK” all at the same time.

I must reiterate again how much I adore Michael Kors and how he’s my favorite designer (along with Phillip Lim). These shoes come in a multitude of colors and look fantastic under jeans but super hot under a mini skirt or a dress.

Dressy Ballet Flats from Aldo, 50% off!

I was shopping today and found these adorable ballet flats from Aldo. Now, usually I’m not a ballet flat kinda person, but someone walking by actually said how great they looked on my feet! I love the sparkles and stones to really dress up an outfit without losing the comfort. Plus they’re great to just slip on and wear to work or a dinner. The really great part is that they’re on sale! 50% off! They’re only $34, what a bargain, huh?

Crocs are UGLY but COMFY

I used to make fun of these crocs all the time. But let this be a lesson to everyone – don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. I got a pair of these (PINK) fuzzy crocs for Valentine’s Day and I must say that although they aren’t attractive by any standards, they are surly very comfortable. They feel like you’re walking on pillows. And most places have them on sale for around $20. What a bargain, if you ask me!

Uggs aren’t so ugg-ly after all…

I am convinced to turn all your UGG haters into lovers. Apparently the people who design Uggs realized that yes, to most people, their boots are pretty UGG-ly. However, they’ve branched out and have a ton of new styles. Like I said a few posts below, about how I’m obsessed with boots, I have purchased yet my second pair in 2 weeks. (I’m trying to convince myself that I can help boost this economy).

These are the boots I purchased. They are called Swell Tall and they come in black, dark brown (brunswick), chestnut (charred), and millstone (light tan). Since I own a ton of brown flats, I got them in black. Not only do they have a lot of detailing around the back and top, they are very sharp looking – not floppy and super casual like their usual look. They are also a smooth suede that can be worn in snow and rain. The best part about these are the footbed – it has a squishy Poron footbed that conform to your feet and feel like you’re wearing gym shoes or as I like to call it, grandmas shoes. The comfort pretty much influenced me to buy them. I could literally go hiking in these boots and for all the walking I do in NYC, well worth it. Not to mention, the rubber sole provide traction and will last a long time. They also have a light lining of sheepskin to keep you warm. I got them for 30% off since it’s almost spring, so be sure to shop around for the best deal.

a small boot obsession.

Did I mention I’m obsessed with boots? I love these, but not so sure about the outside zipper. I need your honest opinion.. what do you REALLY think? They are on sale at Victoria’s Secret for $129. Score!

Bambola VS Bonanza by Steve Madden

I’ve been wanting some boots like these above – and I’m sure you’ve seen them all over – they are pretty popular nowadays. I saw these at Steve Madden (called Bonanza). When I went to check them out I wasn’t as thrilled as I though I’d be. Although a reasonable price (on sale for $80), they still looked pretty cheap and with NY winter weather, they would get wet and definitely fall apart.

I then saw these (Bambolo) boots. With a bit of a higher price tag – $189 – on sale from $270, the price tag was still a bit steep. What pretty much sold me was their sleek look, and definitely not so cheap looking, especially with their real leather, versus suede. They would be able to withstand harsh-er weather. I went home and searched for some coupon codes and ended up purchasing them for $150! (20% discount using coupon code CABIN20). I also got free shipping. I am so happy with my purchase, I can’t wait to get them in the mail! (ps. the brown look grayish in real life)

HAPPY SOCKS GIVEAWAY!

For this holiday season, especially those living in the cold winter, you can’t go wrong with giving them some socks! And who doesn’t like socks especially when they are brightly colored and designed? Thanks to HAPPY SOCKS, they are giving away 4 pairs of socks of YOUR CHOICE. I got a few pairs of these to test out earlier this month and I absolutely love them… in fact, I kid you not – I am wearing them right now.

All you have to do to win is leave a comment with why you deserve to win them and I will pick a winner by December 20th at 12 midnight. Good luck!

Victoria Beckham’s gravity defying shoes

I’m not sure what to make of Victoria Beckham in these Antonio Berardi gravity defying boots that she showed off in Macy’s Herald Square. The practical part of me says they are totally unpractical and one one never really ever wear them, plus they must be a pain to take off.

The fashion side of me says, wow, interesting. I am speechless.

What do you think?

Happy Socks = Happy Feet

Lately, I’ve been a sucker for a good pair of socks. I’ve really gotten into the trouser socks (as I like to call it) because they are thin, colorful and very comfy. Happy Socks is probably my favorite online place to buy socks. They are a company based in Sweden that have a  million pairs (ok ok 100 pairs) of colorful and fun socks – not to mention they are very reasonable in price.

Their socks are made from 80% combed cotton which make them extra soft and they are made in Turkey and DO NOT use child labor. So that’s already a plus in my book!
