Shoes, shoes everywhere, but not a drop to drink

I have recently developed a shoe obsession. I mean, I have always had one, but it has gotten crazy lately. Have you ever felt like you just never have enough good shoes. When i bought a great pair of black moto boots the first thought in my head was, "I wonder if these come in brown?" That just goes to show you that for me personally, there is always another great shoe adventure right around the corner. Something that took me a long time to realize was that when your shoes become, "busted" you need to just buckle down and buy some new ones. Now I know this is hard for many people, because I am one of them. I just threw away a pair of brown flat boots the other day and I think a tear slowly trickled down my face. Just the thought of my poor dependable boots sitting somewhere in a landfill made me sad to the core. Then, I envisioned all the other shoes I could buy to replace those and the thought of justifying my purchases, so...I got over them real quick. My latest obsession are Converse, Clogs (non-Crocs people...I know what you were thinking), moto inspired boots, and nude classic pumps. Personally, I think every woman NEEDS a nude pump. It makes everything look sexy and classy. You just can't go wrong with this shoe I tell you. A moto boot gives an edgy feel to the prettiest of dresses or with a great plaid shirt. The clog is great for that bohemian feel mixed with hippie chic vibe. Speaking of a great feel. I ran into an awesome sale at Gap today. 40% off entire purchase (even sale). I debated getting another pair of 1969 jeans for $50, but I got 2 pairs of boots and 2 pairs of gymshoes for my twin nieces for only $27! They were adorable. Enough of the sale...here are some of my recent snapshots.

                                                   New hightop sneaks (Levi's)
MMmmmm.....jumbo shrimp! Snack time! Lol.
                 Plaid isn't just for lumberjacks! (Plaid shirt:
Old Navy, screen tee: Forever21,
        chain necklaces: Forever21)
(Clothes and accessories: Forever21)
                  I heart these t-strap clogs! Designers really put a spell on me this year with this fashion re-DO! Clogs showed up on a million runways this year. Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Miu, Miu were a few designers that took the shoe to the next level. I looked up the history of clogs and hmm...pretty interesting. Did you know that clogs were orginally worn as a safety shoe for factory workers?

Let's see who made my best dressed list this time:
BEST DRESSED:
Cute and Casual + a bit of spice

                         Jamal wearing: A&F, Structure denim, and Converse, Jasmine wearing: all A&F How cute are they?
Kara wearing: Charlotte Russe Scarf and shoes, Forever21 denim, accessories Forever21, satchel from Europe
Theresa wearing: one shouldered Misope' dress, studded shoes, and bracelets
She always looks cute when I see her and is always wearing something edgy! And along with all the great fashion comes the bad! That's right, it's that time again......

OH NO SHE DIDN'T:
Coming out the house looking a hot mess

                           Ugg boots, white belt, belly top (you can't see the tragedy from the back thank goodness), and a head full of Albert Einstein hair! Wow, that was beyond too much to even comment on! At least the bag is cute (I'm always looking for the positive).
 Ralph Lauren classic on the bottom half and punk rock on the top. Can we just make our minds up here? This mohawk was just too much with the RL pastels.
Oh, don't try and cover up that saggy rump! You decided to come out the house in ill fitting pants and a midget pony tail. Double whammy!

Just to leave you with another great product I encountered. Go pick up a bottle of So Sexy Smooth Straight & Silky Styling Mist from Victoria's Secret. Wow, that was a tongue twister. If your hair is a frizz factory it will lay it out without making a big old buildup mess. And you can pick up two more things from the line all for only $25! I would go with: Style Tame & Smooth Instant Detangler, Style Brilliant & Glossy Shine Mist, Style Clean & Go Dry Shampoo, and the Smoothing Shine Serum. All good choices!

That's it for today and hope to see you next post! And remember...dress to impress if you don't want to end up a mess (on my list). Too funny!
