Fall Shoes

I've been shoe shopping lately and noticed that every shoe department seems to be carrying the following types of shoes:


The Exotic Peep Toe


It may look a little S&Mish, but it actually is a very sexy shoe. I tried them on and liked them. I can see Deeann (my hairdresser/BFF) rockin' these.

The Bootie

This is a low ankle boot that for the most part is designed to wear with a skirt or pencil jeans.


Cognac

The color cognac seems to be the fall color for this year's shoe collection. Aldo, Bakers, 9West, Christian Louboutin and many other brands are carrying shoes in this color as well as the color Taupe.

Comparing the two

Gucci Britt flat thong

On sale for $318 at Neiman Marcus

Anne Klein Ophelia

On sale for $36 at Macy's (I paid $50 in April)

So if I was ballin'out of control you know which one's I would have, but that's not the case. My AK's are perfectly fine with me and very comfortable. Total savings is $282. You can't beat it!

My next purchase

Gucci 'Jolicoeur' messenger bag



Shell and I were out shopping in the City this weekend before our Spa appointments. Such a bad idea to go into Gucci. We both had to pry ourselves out of the store without making a major purchase. I need a messenger bag and saw this one. The one that I actually want has a different strap, but everything else is pretty much the same. I'm waiting to buy it duty free when I go overseas in December. In the U.S this bag is priced at $490.

Only for the Oily

This is an oil control lotion that I picked up at Sephora. It has antioxidants and UVA/UVB sunscreens. I use it for my T-zone and it really works. After using this product I find myself doing less blotting. Definitely something that I will continue to use. It's $42 a tube.

Nova Lash Extestions

Before

After

So for the last 6 months I've been getting eye lash extentions from make-up artist Masami Rung. She is certified by Nova Lash and does a wonderful job. They last up to a month for me, but some people are able to up keep them for longer. The first time application ranges around $130 and monthly touch-ups are at around $80.

It's addictive. They enhance my eyes so much that I don't think that I can go without them. You can find a certified Nova Lash artist here.

My Favorite Jean

Citizen of Humanity-Amber High-Rise Bootcut Jean


Out of all my jeans in my jean collection- this pair is my favorite. It's a higher waisted jean and elongates my legs. Wearing these with my stilettos make me look REALLY taller than I really am... Love It! I get a lot of compliments on them too. If you're lucky you can pick up a pair for $160. They range up to $200 depending on pocket design.

Cute baby onesies

I'm getting this for my niece or nephew

My Top 3 Lip Gloss Picks....

Benefit 24k Sexy Gold Lip Gloss

Pleasant apricot like scent and is VERY smooth. No stickiness here. It has a very light shimmer and gold undertone. You can wear it alone or on top of a lipstick. Reasonably priced at $20 in the U.S.

YSL Golden Shimmering Lip Gloss

I was at the YSL counter buying the YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils mascara and the sales rep recommended that I try this gloss. AKA the Jessica Alba gloss. I guess she endorsed it at a premiere, which boosted the sales of the product. It's a thicker,stickier gloss, and also has extra extra sparkle and shimmer. It's my personal fav. It has a nice fragrance as well, which is not surprising because all YSL make-up has a pleasant scent. A little more than some people are willing to pay for a gloss at $28 a pop.

Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush

You can't really go wrong with the VS collection- 2 for $12 or 5 for $20. Stock up and leave one in each handbag. They have a number of flavors as well. I've only tried the mango madness and punchy and like them both. The gloss itself is both semi thick & sticky. Do not leave in hot car. It will melt and become runny...(not to mention messy).
