Azzedine Alaia Fall collection....

May I just say WOW....this line is GORGEOUS. The details, the lines, the colors, oh my...it's breathtaking. What's crazy is he hasn't had a show in 8 years. I, and I am sure the fashion world, would gladly wait patiently another 8 years to see what master pieces he comes up with again. 


The whole line screams "Contemporary and Feminine". His coats and dresses, would probably falter every body type, making women who don't have the hour glass shape, have one, and the women who do, or are pear shape, just accentuate those already God given curves. 

There is no doubt in my mind that any woman wearing his pieces would feel like a million bucks in his clothes!

not get blister, wouldn't that be a miracle!!

Great traveling shoes, wear them with shorts, dresses, skirts, plus you 

would only have to pack one set of shoes, well at least that's 

what you could tell your husband when you buy them and he sees the price tag.

Alexander Wang

Great staple shoes for summer and winter

Neon and Polka Dots

Neon colors are ALL the rage this summer! Which, to be honest can be very intimidating. So, start small, with either bracelets or a watch, then move up to a purse or a statement necklace. Then when you're ready, move up to a shirt, skirt, or even pants!!  
                              OR just take the plunge like I did.

My amazing mom just picked up this neon lime green polka dot slik shirt, for me at the thrift store. I love it!! It's so cheerful and summery.

Pants: Ann Taylor Boyfriend

Shirt: Thrift

Purse: Target

Shoes: Franco Sarto

Necklace: Thrift

My challenge to you, is bring something bright into your wardrobe this summer, if you haven't already. It's a fun way to accessorize or to be bold. Good luck! 


I would love to hear what fun ways you added Neon to your wardrobe! Email, Comment, or Twitter me. 

Wednesday Weekly Obsessions

So, this past week, I'm not going to lie...I've been lazy! I haven't really done much of anything. I think, I'm going to blame it on the heat...But in actuality I was obsessed this week with "Words with Friends"!! That is one of the reasons, why I did not get ANYTHING accomplished this past week...

1. Words with Friends on the Ipad.

2. I probably went to Luci's @ least 5 times this past week, to get their Tea and their Banana Walnut Muffin...yummie. If you have not been, and you live in the Phoenix area you should go!

My husband and I went last Saturday night to Luci's, to our surprise there was live jazz... They sang the song we danced to at our wedding, Moon Dance by Van Morrison, so we stood up at our seats and started dancing, even though NO ONE else was even remotely dancing...I thought it was romantic.

3. I was obsessed with my "new" necklace, I got last week at the thrift store. It's perfect! I can tie it to whatever length I want, plus it's black!! I love black.

my Lustful Summer..Prada

I am in LOVE with the Spring 2011 Prada line. The bold colors, the prints, AH...I'm in heaven when I look at this collection.  My top 3 picks, are the Banana Skirt, the Sunglasses, and the Orange and Pink Striped Fitted Dress.

Would you be so BOLD to wear a banana print? Or, would you feel like Chicita Banana?

Happy 4th....

Wishing you a safe and happy 4th...


Today, in the Valley of the Sun, the high was only 103...but the humidity was well over 30%. So, when choosing my outfit, I needed to have something flowy, but still patriotic. 


I turned a vintage tube top dress into a skirt. I paired that with a tank top I've had since high school, and finished it off with some red platforms. Red, white, and blue.

Shoes: Jessica Simpson

Tank: Calvin Klein

Skirt: Vintage Tube Top Dress

Clutch: Target

Necklace: Dillards

Sunglasses: Boutique

My Etsy Loves....

Etsy is by far one of my FAVORITE websites....One can find literally anything, your heart desires and what's even more appealing, at least to me...is most of the stuff is handmade.


Here is some jewelry I recently just found, the shop is called 
Sam McCain, from the United Kingdom. They use vintage cabochons (A convex top and flat bottom),  beads and jewels, from the 1940s through to the 1980s. There earrings range from $18-20.


Here are some of my favorites

"Perfect Pink"

"Romantic Rose"

"Brandy Alexander"

"Zombie"

Another fun store I found on Etsy is Berkley Illustrations, from Portland OR. There artwork is so unique and fun!! I am in LOVE with these three illustrations....
