Golden Cowboy Boots

Filed under Luxury
Yes, I do live in Texas. This means I listen to Country music, I own a cowboy hat and I wear cowboy boots. But, I don’t quite know if my cowboy boots are as fabulous or a stunning as these Golden Goose Star Zip Very Distressed Ankle Boots that you can get from ShopBop.
The vintage look makes them look like they’ve been around the rodeo once or twice (maybe even three times!) and the toes look super broken in so they will probably be very comfortable once you get them out of the box. They are $1,165 but, if you’re …read more

Of course you can pick up a nice warm and comfortable cardigan from your local H&M or Old Navy. And some of those places even have great sales coming up (why hello there 50% off outerwear at Old Navy this weekend!) But, if you pick up one of these cardigans, will you be guaranteed a luxurious and long lasting cardigan? I don’t know if you will!
That’s why I would recommend you should pick up one of these Halston Long Chunky Knit cardigans that you can pick up from theoutnet.com. The cardigan is dark gray which makes it a great neutral …read more
Beijing Fashion Week: Mao Geping S/S 10

Cinderella and all you closet princesses should have been in Beijing yesterday because Mao Geping really showed us some great avant garde ball gowns and make-up that any diva would put on their wish list. We all know that China is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and they are a tremendously loyal group. I’m sure I would be very loyal to such a talented make-up artist and detailed and ornate clothing designer such as Mao Geping.
Look at the feathers, tiers, and color differentiations! I am so in love! Would that model be able to fit in …read more

Erin Fetherston Marching Dress

Why hello there 1987, I’ve missed you. I will bet all of you that I can dig up a picture or two that showcases family members of mine wearing dresses much like this Erin Fetherston Marching Dress. I still haven’t quite decided whether this dress, though, showcases the good qualities of the 1980s or the bad qualities of the 1980s. What do you all think?
The dress is professional but is a bit chic with a dash of uniqueness. I do like how the buttons down the middle do not line up, but there might be a bit too many buttons …read more
Miss Marc Pendant Watch

Filed under Luxury
I am not a watch person. I bought a watch a few years back, but within two days I had ruined it by washing dishes with it on. Don’t fret! It was probably a $15 dollar watch, so it wasn’t a big investment. However, there comes a time when you are pocket-less, without a cell phone, or the car clock is just not working for you. In my case, it’s all of the above. So, why not wear the time as a pendant instead of a watch?
That’s why Marc Jacobs did with his Marc by Marc Jacobs Miss Marc Pendant …read more

These star inspiring boots include a 4 ½ inch heel and a 1 inch platform with a 9 ½ inch shaft which makes them great to go with some awe inspiring leggings. I …read more

Hopefully you’ve all made your plans for Halloween tomorrow evening. I’m going to be very low key, just getting glitzy as a disco dancer while I attend a Halloween themed basketball game. But, if you’re still looking for some inspiration, why not look at photos from Athens Fashion Week?
At the Xclusive Designers Show, Strepkos and Mparla, showed us a modified chic mummy look. Check out that draping over the model’s head! How in the world is she going to get her drink on? Eat candy?Will she be able to shake it on the dance floor? This is beyond ridiculous. I’m …read more
