Walk In MY Shoes

All who know me, will nod their heads in unison when I say that on an everyday basis i wear flats and flip flops. No matter what the selected look of the day is, i always successfully manage to pair it up with the perfect pair of flats or the cutest selection in flip flops. Not that I hold a grudge on sneakers, or those who solely wear sneakers, but with the summer weather in full session why not find a reason to show off those newly painted toes? Leave it to me to maneuver a way to do so. Not sure where to start? Take a walk in my shoes. . .

Givenchy: Give Into These

I am head over heels in LOVE with these Givenchy Shoes. Spotted on the Red Carpet of the BET Awards, worn by Lauren London, in NY at a movie screening by Selita Ebanks, and by Cassie at a cocktail reception, these shoes are at the head of its class as the most stylish shoes of the season. Honestly, I think Selita rocked them better, but hey Lauren can make anything look good! What do you guys think?

Oh, Go Couture Yourself!

I must say, visiting the Juicy Couture store and shopping online at their site is never a disappointment. I’m always guaranteed to find something I’m itching to buy. With my debit card in hand, contemplating whether or not an overdraft is worth the buy, I click add to cart. While I cannot possibly ‘add to cart’ everything from the Juicy line, contrary to the fashionista Paris Hilton, I will name a few of the hopefuls that made my list. I’m a flip flop kind of girl, definitely with the summer inching in it’s time to ball up the socks and make a shot at the box of clothes waiting to make its way to the attic. With a nice vibrant color like shocking pink from O.P.I illuminating my toes, Juicy’s Kari Anchor Charm Thong Sandal’s are a definite must-have. The navy/pink made it to my checkout. They’re equipped with a cute toe strap, white strips on the insole, and a bow with an anchor charm. So, if you’re looking for the right flip- flops for the summer, definitely choose Juicy.

While April showers bring May flowers, in the east, we definitely get our share of the thunder storm and summer rain. Splashing in puddles may be fun at the time; however wet jeans and the later dirt stains that remain while riding the subway are not so fun. I have a better idea, splash around in these. Juicy’s Sabrina Viva Juicy Rainbows are too adorable to pass up. And to satisfy my frenzy for brown boots, they have a pair in off-white with brown and pink writing. Just my luck? Just my style. I love the anticipation of shopping. You never know what you’re going to find, making a great buy for a bargain can be such a relief. It’s like hitting a fashion jackpot and personally I think these boots are golden.

Can you tell I’m obsessed with Juicy Couture yet? If those two buys didn’t do it for you, this will. Scent is most sensitive to memory; whether it’s your middle school days when you started off wearing Bath& Body Works sprays, or your puberty-stricken high school days when you purchased your first bottle of perfume. Whatever the case may be, the summer is rolling around and it’s time for a new scent. Something soft, flirty, and absolutely girly. Try Juicy Couture’s Eau de Parfum, 3.4 oz. As if that bottle itself isn’t cute enough to lure you into a purchase, a quick sample absolutely will. The scent is not too light where it wears off with a passing hour, but not too strong where it causes passerby’s to flare their nostrils. Just right for a more mature, more fashionable scent. As for me, I’m onto my second purchase of the product. It’s addicting.
I have to admit, that’s the way the Juicy got em’!

By the way, I love your shoes!

I have to say, riding the subway is one of the best ways to come up close and personal with fashion. With such a diverse group of people from all walks of life traveling to get where they’re going, the fashion I encounter is beyond amazing. Its unique. First impressions are everything, starting with what catches the eye. As for myself, I’m a big shoe fan. I find myself looking down and getting lost in the crowds as I skim through the different styles of shoes I find in my surroundings. While I do not have a foot fetish, I admit to having an uncontrollable (and boy a financially challenging) shoe fetish. Stepping onto the elevator at the Clark St. stop on the 2 train, my eyes began to do their usual scan. Bingo! To my eyes delight, I spotted a pair of suede wedged peep-toe heels in violet with a bow on top, as if to seal it with a kiss. The girl must’ve noticed me staring at her feet, so to stop her from thinking I was some foot obsessive creep, I told her how much I love her shoes. In response she laughed “I’m soo over them!”. I wanted to reassure her that if she ever wanted to hand them over, I’d have no problem taking them out of her hands. But I kept it to myself. While she was so over them, I was so into them. Wanting to add them to my personal collection, I asked her where she got them. She said Charlotte Russe. A more than surprising store might I add. A fashion lesson learned. You come across some of the greatest buys when you least expect it. I guess Charlotte Russe is just one of my “least expect it” stores to shop at. Come to think of it. I did purchase two of my favorite jeans there. Looks like it’s time to put the Russe back to use. I might just find some more great buys in Charlotte’s web. Hopefully I’ll come across these incredible shoes again because they keep clicking through my head.
