Long White Skirt?

I know the long white skirt was in last summer, but I can't get away with it!! I love the way it just flows with the wind. I look like a prairie girl~!!!

Nail Inspiration - Glitzy White

New nail design. It's something I just randomly did. I got comments that it looks good for weddings. :-)

(please do NOT look at my pimple :-( ... to many impurities to cover!! )

 Here is what I used.

• Base/bottom - Essie Vinyl Bikini
• Silver glitter - Sephora by OPI's : Are You Glistenin?
• White nail polish - Q Nail Art Pen & Brush in white
• Top Coat - Seche Vite: Dry Fast Top Coat

• Prep your nails by cutting, filing, etc.  
• Apply base coat.  
• Apply silver glitter polish on the tip of the nails.  Try to mix some big and small glitter. The line doesn't need to be straight or in any particular shape, just make sure it's all at the tips.  Will need to apply the silver a couple of times to make sure it is not see through. I applied 3 layers on each nail. Let the silver dry for a bit then proceed. 
• Use a white nail polish with a thin brush and draw random strokes to cover where the silver and plain nail meets.
• Add some dots.
• Let dry for a little bit.
• Apply top coat.

Sorry, couldn't find the Opi polish but here's a good alternative.

Trend - Jelly Shoes!!!

HUEY Jelly Gladiator Sandals

Missoni Jelly Flats

Jelly shoes were around when I was a child (3-4 years old?). I remember they were the ones that looked "strappy", with half inch heel and a buckle. I think I had the clear color one, look to the left!!! AHHHHH  Haha Don't ask how I remember this.

Well, I never thought of it as a trend and I believe it died out once I started elementary school. Now I see it back but not in the same way as how I remembered it.  Wells, except the fashion forward TOPSHOP store, other brands are playing it safe with the current flats and colorful trend~

It looks great for rainy days (not thunderstorm) or play in the sprinklers, especially since your shoes will dry quicker and so will your feet.   Keep in mind to make sure the sole is non-slip if you want to wear it for wet play/days.  :-)

Every time I see them in stores its looking cuter and cuter. Here's one by Missoni, looks like candy?   I'm Loving IT!!  I think it might also be the wonderful colors that I'm seeing them in.  A good brand that makes these really cute is MEL by Melissa. I've included some of her shoes in my selections. 

Dollhouse Bowws Sandal - Red/Pink/Orange Valentino Couture Bow Jelly Thong Sandal

Melissa - Harmonic Flower - Pink Jelly Flower Thong Sandal

MEL BY MELISSA Peep-toe ballet flats

MEL BY MELISSA Flip flops

Looks like a good knock off of the Valentino version below. LOve it~

<------ I HEART YOU








Cute studs~























Like the design but maybe another color butterfly?

LOVE THIS ONE!!!!

I put this in because it looks funny. Not sure if I'll be up for this. Looks like it's made of wax?  Maybe I'll like it more if it was in pink or nude.

Nail Inspiration - The Abstract Net

Here's a nail inspiration~  I wanted it to look like snake skin. Haha, it ended up looking like... a net? I thought the black version looks like tweed, but none of my friends or co-workers thought so.  :-\ 


So I leave it as an abstract net design.  I painted my left hand black and my right hand white.  Which one do you like?

 I put on the base coat, which is red and some dabs of pink metallic. Then I used a polish with a thin brush to draw the lines almost randomly, thick and thin lines.  You can see some brands that I like below~

Here's a camera whore picture of myself with the nails~ Sorry, you can barely see it. 

the Shoe Stretcher.. my savior~

Don't you hate it when you just bought a pair of the cutest shoes, but when you actually wear it for a couple of hours, your feet hurts? Don't you hate having to break them in! :-) So last year, my sister had the greatest idea of investing in one of those shoe stretchers. Greatest idea ever!! Now why haven't we thought of that earlier!!

So I got the women's shoe stretcher size 5-8 in the mail and quickly tried it on this pair of shoes that I got for a year and still haven't broken into. I left it in there for 3 days and stretched it to the max (subjective to your needs). I only had problems with the right foot (maybe my right foot is bigger? or is it the shoe? ) I had problems around the big toe area and they have little knobs to insert into different holes around the wooden shoe stretcher for areas that needs an extra stretch (see picture). After 3 days, I tried the shoes it was slightly loose. uh oh? No worries! After you let it sit for a couple of hours it goes back a little.

Some of my shoes needs to be stretched a couple of times or periodically and some were perfect after the first stretch. I guess some materials are harder or more stubborn to stretch?

The shoe stretcher is necessity in any shoe lover's closets. Don't let those expensive pair go to waste!!! It was my shoe savior~

With this type of shoe stretcher, you can stretch the width, the length and particular area/s of needs (black knob).  It worked best with my flats, sneakers, sandals and basically any flat or medium heel (I'm guessing up to 3 inches?) shoes; see red and gold shoes.  As for my high heels, it only stretched the width because I couldn't get it in the arch to stretch the length; see the taupe bootie below(see back heel piece couldn't go in!) I'm guessing shoe stretchers may work better on high heels if the shoe is in a bigger size, as my shoes are all size 6.

I got mine from Amazon in the link below with free shipping~

Here's a guilty pleasure~ :-P

Loafer trend

What do you guys think about the loafers? I see them showing up more in stores. I'm thinking of getting a pair for myself, but I can't help thinking of my grandmother when I try them on at the stores. Not a bad thing, but nostalgia kicks in and I begin to really miss her(she's in Asia).  I can't help thinking about how fashionable my grandmother may be in the old days. :-) Anyways, as I was shoe shopping at Macy's the other day, I find myself walking closer and closer into the mature women's section, in search of a cute loafer. HAHA. My friend couldn't find me after a while.

They are comfort shoes and I'm glad the popularity of comfort shoes is on the rise within the young and fashionable group, as it is hard to walk around with 5 inch heels or flats with no support.  YAY to comfort shoes!!

Here are my favorites!

AK ANNE KLEIN Dewy Leather Loafers

Cute AK Ann Klein loafer. I love the color and the bow!!

AK Anne Klein Billy Jean

This one really reminds me of my grandmother. I can't help but loving this pair!!!!

Steve Madden Croquet Slip-On Loafers

This one you guys probably seen around. I like it, but for some reason it's not that comfy and it hurts my bones. Maybe it's not made for my feet?

Nine West Women's Tailynn Loafer

This one really appeals to me. I think it's because it's pointed.

Reminder, Macy's shoe sale is ending today. 

1 pair 15% off

Here are some loafers at Macy's website. I don't think they have much selection online.  Please go to the stores for more selection.  Also note, stores close early on Sundays.
