Find Of The Day

Ruffle back platform bootie
heel: 4.25"
side zipper closure
price: $26.70

Love these booties! The feminine ruffles on the back make the booties unique to me. I have seen this at a couple of websites, all offered different colors. The link above takes you to GoJane.com color shown is chestnut.

I would wear these with skinny jeans or leggings. They would also look cute in a short above the knee skirt. Go crazy with ruffles with the top for an ultra feminine look. Or keep it simple and let the ruffles on the back of the booties shine on their own.

Find Of The Day - Rainbow Snake Pumps

Find Of The Day

Miss Me Onyx-1 Multi Snake Pointed Toe Pump (4.5" heel)

$22.60

I scoped this out at Urban Original. I love the color and texture of this shoe. I would get if it didn't have the pointed toe. I am just not a pointed shoe wearing sistah. I can't get with it. This shoe tempts me though. Also they could've taken the extra step and wrapped the heel in the faux snake skin as well. I like versatility in my clothing and shoes. These shoes to coordinate with several different outfits. I think my favorite way to wear these would be to spice up an all black look.

*There are only certain sizes still available. The tip on the site is that this shoes runs a half size big.

Vocabulary - Stiletto

Vocabulary - Stiletto

I thought it would be nice to start posting fashion lingo and vocabulary. I love to research and so I often will just have something pop into my mind and then start to search for things related to it. The word that hit me today was Stiletto.



If you love heels like me than the word is a familiar one. Not everyone woman who wear heels wear stilettos but I have not met a woman that has not, at some point, admired a pair. There's a history behind the word stiletto but for our purposes we will say that a stiletto is simply a high heel shoe where the heel is very slender. The ending tip of the heel should be a half inch or smaller.

I use to find stilettos hard to walk in. Mostly because of the weight I had gained. Now that I have lost a bit of weight and still losing (yay!) I find them easier to wear. However, the slender heels does make it a bit tricky to stand for long periods of time and to walk in. Practice, that's the key with this type of heel.

Learning About Myself

I have always like shopping. Handbags, shoes, and jewelry have been a weakness since childhood. But I went through quite a long period of not caring how I looked and definitively did not dress up or even put together. However, I find at this period in my life the shopping bug is back along with my desire to turn heads.

So what have I learned about myself. I have learned that I don't particularly like high fashion. What other rave about I think looks absolutely hideous and would not wear even if they gave it to me. All these years I thought I was daring turns out I'm pretty much a conservative dresser. I like sexy and I like daring but I don't mix prints or wear crazy tights with sandals. Who knew that the word conservative and me would go together?!
