Style 1 Comment

Welcome back to our last, but not least part of the New Years New Looks series.

#3. Gold Sexy Snake Skin. Ssss. Part 3 is all about black, gold, and snakeskin. Sssss. (Sorry, I have a habit of hissing every time I mention snakes or related objects… I’ll try to stop for the sake of this blog post).

Ssssssoo (just kidding), let’s start with the shoe. Steve Madden has the perfect shoe for this outfit, and for less than $100. And by less, I mean $99.99. Details..details. Anyway, check it out. It’s called the Golden Nitetime Shoe. I really don’t believe you can go wrong with this shoe, so I’m not even going to recommend any others. Maybe if I had some product placement deals in place however, I would.. ahem ahem, hint hint. Haha, juuuust kidding.

New Years Outfits - New Looks for Your Little Old Black Dress. Part 2.

Style 1 Comment

Welcome back. This New Years Outfits series gives 3 options for how to give a new look to your little old black dress.

#2. Black Patent Leather Deco. Part 2 will show how Black Patent Leather can spice things up. Let’s start with the shoes..as always.

It’s not difficult to find a black patent leather pump for a good price. A good sling-back heel always is a good option, like the Carlos by Carlos Santana Avenue Patent Pump for only $49.99. Another good non-sling-back option is the Carlos Santana Iconic Croco Patent Leather Pump for $49.99 as well.

Style No Comments

If you are anything like me, then you woke up this morning, checked your bank account, and realized that this holiday drained a larger portion of your funds than you had planned for (as always), leaving you with little to no spending room for a fabulous New Years dress. What to do.. what to do…

No worries, it happens. Here’s what we’re gonna do. First plan of action, steal something from your sister’s closet. Let’s be honest, you’ve never even seen her wear it. She won’t even notice if it’s gone for a few days. Buttt if that doesn’t work out, the second plan of action is to spice up that little black dress you’ve worn a thousand times, turning it into an outfit that everyone will think is brand-spankin-new. While this may sound a bit Fairy Godmother-ish, it is indeed possible and the most affordable solution. So bippity, boppoty, freakin-boo.

Little Black Dress

I’m gonna show you three different ways to transform that boring black dress into a ball gown (figuratively speaking, of course)…

Felt Laptop Envelope Case

Gift Guide No Comments

Know someone who is getting a new laptop this Christmas? Looking for a cute, unique computer case instead of those boring, ugly ones at Best Buy? Check out these felt laptop sleeves from Rare Device. They come in 13″, 15″, or 17″ and your color options are hot pink, orange, or light green. My personal fav is the green… just in case you were wondering :-).

Felt Computer Cases

These are great because you can slip them inside a larger brief case, bag, or suitcase and they won’t take up any more space than if the computer was in the nude.

Go Kimono: From Wear to Where

Fashion, Trend Setter No Comments

There are few outfit options that can easily be dressed up and dressed down.

One of the best solutions for this is the Kimono look. Go for the three-quarter-length silky shirt with some type of floral pattern and throw it on over your favorite pair of dark-denim jeans. Want to dress up your look? Match it with a pair of heels and gold hoop earrings. To dress down the look, put on some flats and a solid-color headband. Either way, you’re good to go.
