Pretty Bracelet With A Creative Sparkle

This is a cute and fun little piece- one that stands out on its own. It is amazing how such a small little accessory can revamp the little black dress (or even any daytime outfit).

All the photos show different angles of the same bracelet; and that is what I love so much about this particular piece. It has so many different unique little designs on a very vibrant glitter background.

The colors pop with a strong contrast to reveal its own little personality- a very cute one at that.

I love that as you turn it the style completely changes, yet somehow they all come together so smoothly. One forever continuous piece of art.  It makes me want to create something similar on my own- kind of like those Prada white canvas bags where you create your own design! Only, I don’t think I would do it on a Prada (its just asking for a smear or slip of the hand mess up), but a blank canvas of my own is quite the possibility.

I think it would like nice in a scarf design too- something to look for and those are out there. The blended design where the style fades from complex to simple and back. I’ll keep an eye out, that is for sure.

Anchor Me Some Accessories Aweigh

Another beauty from my shopping incident the other day- I love it. This adorable little set looks like candy to me, it just pops with its bold cherry red color against the oh so bright white. It is perfect.

So darling and playful, I love it. Ready for a cruise or something of the sort, very inspiring. In the meantime they add character to any outfit.

They’ve put me in the mood for a cozy night with a movie- Anchors Aweigh in fact! Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra, what is there not to love? Jerry from Tom & Jerry even makes an appearance, as one of my favorite childhood cartoons it makes it even more cozy and lovable.

Playfully Bold Dress With A Bow

When it comes to fashion and style, dresses have always come first for me. I adore them as those who know me know the truth in this statement.

But there are so many kinds and styles- from the form fitted to the interestingly shaped, from the hardly there to the filled with volume. There are elegant evening dresses and fresh spring like day dresses.

It is why I adore this dress so much, it blends into both rather well. The colors and pattern are rich and sophisticated, yet the way it is presented, with a cute little bow and open wide fun shape, it is easily playful and fun, too.

Not to mention comfortable, but I like the simplicity. The lines of the dress do more than anything, and with such a bold pattern you don’t want to do something too complex. This is a fun dress that works for any occasion and that is why I love it.

I want to find more like it. It is slightly fitted at the top and then flares out with huge volume to the bottom- but is not so long that it swallows you up, just enough to be fun and fashionable.

There are other very elegant dresses I own that wrap up top with a bow, however they are all either black and white or a consistent pastel shade- nothing so rich as like the pattern seen here. Since finding this dress it is something I have been on the look out for.

Beautiful & Bold Betsey Shoes

Let’s talk about shoes, shall we. In my little spontaneous trip two of my purchases were Betsey Johnson Shoes.

There is no mistaking that bright pink box anywhere, or her shoes for that matter. They have a habit of standing out in their designs.

This is my new fun favorite little toy, the print is so bold and vibrant and the heel is simply devilish. Such a sultry little shoe- I love it.

It has just a subtle little peep toe opening in the front too, which gives it a unique little character.

A simple black dress certainly goes much further with this shoe. Little is necessary or otherwise it will compete. It is quite loud on its own (people have stopped me on the streets since I purchased them)!

Okay, now for the other pair- from red and black to black and white. Here we go.

This one is definitely younger in style and playful more than elegant. I love the black vinyl strap that wraps across the top- I think it is absolutely adorable!

Dots, little buckle, straps, open toe, and a high heel- how much fun is that? It’s precious and bold all together. What a delightful design!

Alright, more later. Much love and beautiful shoes, xx

Things That Are Girly Like Candy & A Bow

I’m feeling a bit girly today, and looking through some of my accessories I found some fun inspiring pieces. One is a bow and the other looks like candy with a bow. Love it.

My friends always threaten to eat this one- if only they could. I love the color and style- it is very pretty and very girly in a playful sort of way. It looks like giant gum drops or something- I’m not sure but it looks delicious, ha.

The pink bow just adds extra charm I think. Quite lovely and it is something I do enjoy wearing.

And speaking of bows, here is a pair of adorable bow earings. The little beads that hang from the bow really add that special touch. I found these at a little Japanese shop (they had a red version available as well) and couldn’t resist them. They are on a black small loop so the bow hangs just below the ear. Quite the cute little accessory.

Hmm, looking at it the little beeds look like some sort of candy treat as well. A bit more subtle but still delicious in style.

Wild Prints For Fashion Fun

I love a beautiful print- usually filled with color, bold, and fun. This skirt is something different but still quite fun and bold. Not the usual bright colors you see in a print, but the normally toned down shade of brown against the white with this wild pattern is remarkably bold and I love it.

With a print like this I want it to stand out on its own- too much of anything else, color, design or whatever have you would just get lost and compete.

One thing I would do is wear some funky or playful earings- maybe a bangle on my wrist as well; it can handle the skirt’s design without fighting it.

This particular skirt I found at forever 21; I must say they produce some cute items from time to time (though their options are massive and overwhelming as well- at least for me).

I like this pattern and color scheme- it is something I wouldn’t mind having more of. I think brown is a nice color and I haven’t really seen it so bold as it is here. Who knew it had such a playful attitude- just needed a fun pattern to show it.

Oh, and of course the shoes… Normally I’d wear a simple shoe (black pump or even my brown ballet slipper heels pictured below). But instead I decided to wear my new Vincent Camuto shoes- these are some hot shoes. I did an entry a little while back on them, and here they are again, such beauties. Brown and white like the skirt (though shades lighter I think it still works just fine).

And here is the other shoe I would wear with this skirt (which matches in color exactly, and yet still a little playful in design). Its my BCBG ballet slipper heels- I bought them years ago but they still stay in style. One of those classic shapes and colors that will always be in. Its such a pretty shoe.

Flirtatious French Martini Madness

The little taste of chambord from my Kir Royal has left me with a curious craving for more. What better way than in another delightful drink of choice- the French Martini.

Now, this one is a bit more tropical and thus a playful and fun drink (and far different from the sophisticated simplicity of the Kir Royal). Ingredients are few and simple- vodka, pineapple juice, and chambord. The pineapple definitely adds that tropical value, and the chambord sweetens the deal beautifully.

I have seen the drink as a French Cosmo as well- and you can really play it up as much as you want to. For me, simple is best and divine.

A little twist and playfulness is always fun though- and this drink delivers it just right.

Much love, xx

Snowy Nails That Purr, Too

This kitty is always purring; its the fashion love that keeps me going. Okay, so last time I did this look on a natural base coat. This time I decided to explore a little further on it with a snow leopard as my muse.

I used a a rather subtle base coat, close to a taupe and just shades darker than my skin tone (enough for it to be noticed, but not so much that it took over).

A few selected white spots and a touch of black- ready to go again; quite simple and delightfully playful.

I accidentally made some of the black spots a bit bigger on my right hand (bound to happen) but looking at it I think I rather like it better. From a distance it pops more.

Fine by me, I am not about to argue such an accident !

This look would work with the white as a base, too- but that would be more like the original only with a bit more pop. This one I wanted to do a bit differently but still keep in theme.

My nails are getting a bit longer-I painted the backs (what little is there) with some red but its hardly noticeable and just not ready yet.

Ah well, another time then. So in between these trials was another version/variation I attempted and really enjoyed as well. A bit more sultry.

Take a look.

Sooo much fun, yay. I like the gold with this dark burgundy as well, I think they go lovely together.

Alright, that’s all for this look. Ha, hah, oddly enough as I write this to you one of my kitties is just having at his little leopard toy ball. So appropriate. Ciao, loves.

Braid Me Beautiful & Adorable

I adore playing with my hair and experminting with new and intersting styles. Some traditional and some with a twist.

Above is a side swept braid- slightly messy but controlled and pretty. I like to close the braid with a cute hair band or bow- but other times I like to wrap a piece of the remaining hair around the band for that natural flawless and clean look.

Another variation I like to do isn’t a braid at all- they are little balls of hair segmented and tied. I like to wear mine on the side, though letting it rest straight back is just as fine (very much like Jasmine from Aladdin).

Now, the adorable!

This is one I like to do when I am feeling a bit playful- kind of like little puppy ears if you think about it. Very simple to do and definitely gets a response.

I love it, I think it’s cute. It certainly brightens up any boring day of chores or errands. Its hard not to smile when you hair is this cute.

Alright-play around and let me know what you think. Make it chic and sophisticated or simply just darn cute.

For The Love Of Shoes

Shoes for all occasions are one thing, but shoes that bring occasions are so much grander and fun. When was the last time you purchased a shoe that motivated you to create an event or occasion? Its may have been too long, and if not- who is to say there are not enough occasions to be made.

Bright and bold with playful and creative heels screamed this spring and summer. Worn correctly I think it could make for an easy progression into the winter. They are quite fun and eventful on their own.

Playful for the perfect cocktail with friends or that special soirée. Finding the outfit may be the tricky part, though whenever in doubt the simple sleek shaped dress (black or otherwise) compliments nicely. No need to be too complicated.

On the more every day side of things, I am liking the Michael Kors Bergen Shoe- its sleek, shiny, and sophisticated with that deadly charm. Its great from day into evening and is as casual or dressy as you wish to make it. Quite a statement piece and without ripping apart the budget. Its a lovely find for anyone.

Booties and Open Toe Shoes are also quite the rage and showing up in more and more places. Clean lined, corset laced, or open toed- not to mention all at once in some cases as seen here. Devilish and sexy it can be the subtle added allure to any outfit. I think we will continue to see these throughout the winter and enjoy including them in our wardrobe.

As a final note, I love to leave with Louboutin and see no reason why not to here. Simply magnifique as always.
