Splurge VS Steal: Christian Louboutin & Steve Madden

splurge vs steal: Steve Madden SHOWTIME

I’m most familiar with the Louboutin pair thanks to the Kardashian girls. I loved the chunky platform but not the $600+ price. As most of you know by now, I went on my usual hunt. I found a similar pair from Steve Madden, but something in me wasn’t 100% satisfied. So I continued to search, and here my friends Forever 21 won my heart over!

They just arrived in the mail and they’re gorgeous! Can’t wait to wear them out. Keep your eyes posted, they’ll be making their appearance pretty soon.

Two Outfit Twosday: 4th of July

With the 4th of July coming sooner than we expected (Yeah, it’s next week!) and the Olympics coming soon too what better way to dedicate Twosday to that! I’ve put together a few Day/Night outfits around the “Americano” theme. They’re fun and edgy and definitely outfits that will grab everyone’s attention. Not to mention, I’ve made all outfits very very frugalista friendly!

Repurposed by AshleySixto has come out with TWO Special Edition shorts that are 4th of July ready!
Outfit One (Left): Blouse, Shorts, Pumps – This is what I call “dressy casual” – You’ve got a great blouse and pumps that can be worn multiple times. And the shorts aren’t limited to just 4th of July. The “Americano” style trend is very evident in many popular stores and can be worn at all the Olympics themed parties coming soon. You see, now that’s what I call amazing pieces!

Outfit Two (Right): Blouse, Shorts, Sneakers (Can you believe they’re only $14! You better act quick! Doesn’t it have a slight resemblance to this Current Elliot jacket?)

I don’t know about you, but I love to wear sneakers. Ever since I can remember, I’ve owned Vans, Converse, and Nikes in all kinds of wild colors. So now that I’m a bit more “grown up” I still like to incorporate the style into my outfit choices.
Outfit One: Dress, Sneakers, Bag, Hat.
Outfit Two: Same Dress & Hat, Platforms, Tote.

We’ve covered the casual and dressy casual outfits, so I had to add a glammed up tropical inspired twosday outfit! I LOVE this Topshop dress! You can’t see the back details in this photo, but it’s open and very sexy. I love the gradient pattern and beaded details at the top. It’s  definitely a perfect summer dress.
Outfit One: Dress, Hat, Bikini, Sandals.
Outfit Two: Same Dress, Hair Flower Pin, Clutch, Platforms.

Floral Frenzy

top: Forever 21 (similar). pants: ASOS (similar). flats: Old Navy (similar). necklace: Ohm Boutique. watch: Nixon.

I’m so glad I was able to get these pants before they sold out. The floral pants trend is really fun and actually versatile (a contradicting belief to many). These pants are piece that can go from the office to a casual day or night out. I do wish I would’ve splurged and bought the matching blazer.

Have you tapped into the floral frenzy yet?

Friday Edition of "What I Wore": Adrian's Birthday

 

dress: c/o Motel Rocks. pumps: Steve Madden (similar). purse: thrift store find. watch: Nixon. bracelets: Forever 21 (similar), N&K Designs, David Yurman.

A few weeks ago, Motel Rocks sent me over this amazing dress! I’ve always been a fan of Motel Rocks. When the dress arrived, I knew it was a perfect summer outing dress…. but where was I going to wear it to????? The bright color stripes, sexy fit, and elegant length was definitely to be saved for a special occasion.

Once this week came along, I knew it would be my outfit of choice. It’s a perfect dress to get dolled up and hit the town! I surprised Adrian with a nice dinner in Downtown called “Crazy About You” and it was such a great night. I felt it was the most appropriate place, well because I’m crazy about Adrian! (I’m such a cheezball…I know) After dinner, we walked around and enjoyed the beautiful nighttime skyline.

Good news! My dress is now part of Motel’s Summer Sale! For $5o it’s a steal. Their sale is satisfyingly dangerous, because there are so many great pieces for the Summer. I’ve got a few waiting in my shopping cart for payday.
