the only down side of spring/ summer getting here

Everyone was so sweet about my living room!!  Ya’ll make me want to post more pictures of my cute little apt!!  But I guess I will save that for next Home Tour Tuesday…

So I have decided that the only down side of spring/ summer getting here is that I will no longer be able to wear these…

I absolutely love my Ugg Kona’s.  NWH bought these for me a few years ago when we were headed to Denver for MIL’s 50^th Birthday celebration.  It was one COLD December in Colorado but these kept me so warm and comfy.  I just about live in them day-to-day throughout the fall and winter.  What do ya’ll think about these summery Uggs?

NWH has learned his lesson

Tonight NWH and I are going to the movies to see “Unknown.”  We loved “Taken” with Liam Neeson and have been counting down the days of his new movie’s release.  So my job today was to go by the theatre and purchase our tickets for tonight.

Well.. Let’s just say NWH has learned his lesson sending me on such an errand.  You see our movie theatre is located in our gorgeous town center with every female’s store under the sun… Black House White Market, Anthropology, Ann Taylor, you name it they’ve got it!

So here are a few of the major scores I found today… I absolutely LOVE my stuff!!

Tahari "Ta Lexie"

at DSW

Cotton Bell Skirt

at J. Crew

Lightweight Roll-Up Camp Shirt

at Old Navy

Well they are Christian Louboutin



Anyone recognize these??  You got it... they are Gwyneth Paltrow’s shoes from the Grammy’s and they are SICK!! (As in they pretty much stole the show).  NWH and I are lame and recorded the production and are “re-watching” the songs, and I had to find out where these bad boys came from.  Well they are Christian Louboutin and they sale for a mere $1095, pocket change right?  Maybe for Gwenny!!

P.S. I thought the Grammy’s were absolutely fabulous!!

Fall Fashion Footwear: Footy Booties, EXPLAINED

When I wake up in the morning to send my NWH off to work (poor guy), my blackberry is FILLED with emails. They’re not messages from mom or best friends back home, no no they are from all the STORES that I have relentlessly signed up to receive their daily updates. You know how the lady checking you out says “would you like to sign up for our online PROMOTIONS, you could have saved 25% today.” And then you are thinking, dang I could have??

Now, most of the time I just hit option, delete, delete on mailbox & handheld, BUT… since this is the beginning of a new season… I have been opening more of these lately.

Today, I got a Nine West email, and it goes without saying that I think Nine West shoes are some of the best feet jewelry ever. They are so durable and comfortable. I’m only 5”1’ and have been known to ONLY wear heels.

Anyway, I opened the link which read

I could not help myself.  I started looking at all these cute, cute, cute shoes and then thought.. wait a second those would NOT look good on me.. I definitely can’t wear that pair...Oh gosh those would be terrible.

So I came to the conclusion that they ARE some, not all, but some, of these Fall Fashion Footwear Staples that will look good on me and YOU!

I devised a little road map for those of you who need some help when choosing your footy booties and labeled them according to who they would best suit based on leg type.

Long and Full

Nine West Seeulater

I love the neutral color of these and because the boot goes higher up the leg, they would work well on someone with longer limbs.  The buckle accent is nice, but doesn't add too much bulk so these would be ideal for someone with a  fuller bottom.

Long and Lean

Nine West Divara

Again, these are for someone with more height than me.  The platform will ease the pressure of these  4 1/2 inch heel and the lace detail is cute.  The belled top adds volume making this shoe great for a leaner leg.
 
Short and Full

Nine West Highlife

Now these are screaming my name all over them!  As you can see the booties covers less of the leg making them better for a person with a shorter statue.  The neutral leather is great and the small detailing adds style without the bulk.

Short and Lean

Nine West Exposure

 
These like the Highlife expose more of the leg, perfect for shorter frames.  The ruffle detail adds a little more bulk and would add balance to a lean leg.  (These come in red, too!!)
 
 
Mommy Style Bootie

Nine West Bayles

With a thicker heal and only 3" tall (hey, it's the shortest they make) these are perfect for the fashionable mommy, and I love this taupe color!

Hope this helps!  Happy Memorial Day!

These make me Grrrrr.....

Okay, so my new obsession is...

Are these not the cutest shoes in the world.  They are Candies "Arty" dress heel and are available at Kohl's.  Lucky for me, I have the most wonderful mother-in-law in the world who got them for me as a surprise.  I went to stay with her in Knoxville while NWH was out of town on business and boy am I glad I did. 

Now everyone go out and buy these NOW!  (P.S.  They are on SALE!!)
