Chloe "Susan" Boots Look For Less

2012-10-02T15:21:00.000-07:00

I have been eyeing the Susan booties from Chloe for the longest! Buttttt! The price tag of $1,000+ was a damper on my mood. Me being the frugalnista, bargainista that I am (lol) I was determined to find a look for less on these babies and I believe I get. I found these similar studded booties at GoJane for guess what? ... $45! I was super duper happy. They're not exactly like Chloe's but pretty darn close and for that price I wasn't going to complain. Receeive them about a week after purchasing them and havee been receiving compliments every time I wear them. My mom hates them, but I can't keep them off my feet. GoJane also offered other colors. *goes to plan more outfits with my babies* Let me know what you guys think.

Theyskens' Theory RTW Fall 2012

I have been loving the designs, shoes, and bags from a Belgian designer named Olivier Theyskens. His clothing line Theyskens' Theory is refreshing. I love the edgy and grungy-ness of it, yet it's still chic and feminine. Can't wait to get my hands on some of his creations!

Cravings.

2012-08-03T16:13:00.001-07:00

1. Chloe "Susan" Boots
2. Karen Walker "Number One" sunglasses
3. Rebecca Minkoff small wallet
4. Theysken's Theory Crossbody Bag

I have been craving and craving these four items! Especially the Chloe boots, but they the price tag is waaaay out of my range lol. I saw a great dupe of the Karen Walker sunnies on eBay and I'm considering getting them (I can't see myself paying $200 for shades I won't wear that often) but I will share with you all if I do. The wallet and the bag has to be mines soon, has to be! Lol hopefully soon ...

Dream Lookbook: Series #5 Featuring: Zara Basic Sandals

2012-04-22T21:41:00.000-07:00

Just ordered these beauties here. I can't wait till they get here! I will be obsessed with these this spring/summer I can already tell haha. I will be posting pics to show I how I style them. These are just some looks I created with the fabulous clothes that aren't-in-my-closet-but-need-to-be-in-my-closet-clothes *smiley face* I'm silly I know. Hope you guys like! What do you think about the shoes?

Dream Lookbook: Series #4 Featuring: H&M Neon Yellow Sandals

2012-04-15T10:34:00.002-07:00

I saw these lovely neon yellow heels on H&M's website, sadly shopping online isn't available for the US yet, but Tuesday is my birthday and I'm going shopping with my mom so hopefully when I walk into H&M I find them. I want to go to H&M right now because I'm scared that they're going to be sold out when I get there, but that's a 30 minute drive and I'm trying to convince myself to wait till Tuesday since I'll be on that side. Hopefully I made the right choice and they're there waiting for me in my size.

Caged & Studded.

Glad that it's finally spring, I can bring out my babies! I love these heels, had for a few year and only wore them a couple of times, I don't know why, but they will definitely get more wear this spring/summer. I have also been loving my new bag, inspired by the Alexander Wang Rocco Bag.

DIY: American Apparel Inspired Carryall Pouch/Clutch

2012-03-31T21:41:00.001-07:00

I've been in love with this clutch every since I saw it about a year ago, but I couldn't find myself to pay $40-60 for this lovely bag so I decided to blow the dust off my sewing machine and make one for under $15. It's not perfect, but I am satisfied with my job. Take a look below to see how I made it.

Of course you'll need a sewing machine...

About 1/3 yard of fabric of your choice, I chose Pleather.

A zipper of your choice around 16"-20" in length.

A measuring tape or ruler.

... and some pins.

After cutting your fabric to your desire length/width ( mines is 12x16 1/4) align your zipper with your fabric. Try to get the end of the zipper match up with the side of your fabric, it is okay if the front ends of the zipper is hanging over.

Sew it!

Do the same thing with the other side of the zipper.

After you stitched both sides of the zipper onto the fabric begin to sew each side, about an inch away from the end.

Repeat all the way around.

Outside should look like this.

If you're like me & clumsy, I lost my zipper stopper and found it like an hour later, you can stitch along the zipper to keep the zipper from coming off the track.

Viola! Your bag is finished, enjoy.

Dream Lookbook: Series #3 Featuring: Zara Double Strap Heels/Kenneth Cole

2012-03-23T22:56:00.001-07:00

It's Spring! I been on the hunt for some sandals for Spring/Summer and fell in love with the Zara heels (the ones in the created looks) but was debating if I wanted to pay $90 for them, then I go into TJ Maxx with my mom and found these Kenneth Cole sandals on sale for $25! I instantly thought about the Zara heels and how they're double strap and two-tone as well. I had to get them! I consider them to be a great alternative & their designer so they should last plenty of summers!

California Dreaming

2012-03-14T20:57:00.000-07:00

Went to LA for spring break with my cousin & vlogged while I was there. It's just a bunch of randomness and us being goofy, plus plenty of OOTDs. I love California & have been wanting to move there for years! I had so much fun, maybe, just maybe I'll be stationed there when I'm through with basic training for the Air Force.

Dream Lookbook: Series #2 Featuring: Alexander Wang Rocco Bag

2012-02-20T22:15:00.002-08:00

This bag has become pretty popular on YT, I finally broke down and bought the "inspired" one on eBay that was also famous on YT and other blogs. It was about $36, a lot cheaper than the real version of the bag which is about $700. To find the bag search "celebrity studded bottom bag" and choose the seller of your preference. I can't wait till it get heres, hopefully before my trip to California.

Dream Lookbook: Series #1 Featuring: Givenchy Antigona

2012-02-10T23:10:00.001-08:00

I decided to add a new thing to my blog called "Dream Lookbook" (Series #1 being my first Dream Lookbook post), where I post my dream items and outfits, featuring a specific item probably. This post features Givenchy Antigona, I love this bag and have been eyeing it for awhile! My birthday is coming up so maybe, just maybe it will be mines! Lol

Match Making

2011-06-27T22:55:00.000-07:00

I created these sets based off the shoes and how I would style them if I owned them. I'm in love with these 3 pair of fabulous heels. The 1st set is Jeffrey Campbell's "Lita" in black leather. I love the platform of them and they look great with an edgy outfit and with a simple chic outfit. The 2nd outfit are beautiful Prada clear heels I believe from their S/S 11 collection. I think I'm right. I always wanted a pair of clear heels and I think these are perfect. I styled them with some skinny jeans and ended with a fur vest and a cute charm bracelet. Last but not least set is a pair of sexy Christian Louboutin "Super Dombasie/Dombasle" in leopard. I love the freaking platform on that shoe. Style with a sheer maxi skirt, cropped tee, pearls, Michael Kors watch, and a spiked gold necklace. I wish I had these 3 sets in my closet. I'm seriously in love.

Trend Alert: Ombré Hair

2011-06-25T12:34:00.000-07:00

I have been wanting my hair like this for the longest! I just never went with it yet. Idk why because I love it. It is Ombre hair coloring. It's like when you dye your whole head & it's time for a touch up lol. I like it, it's edgy but still classy at the same time. There is a technique to doing this to make it blend instead of just dying half of your hair. I want a new look to do before school, I'm so use to all black. It's time for me to bring some color in this summer.

Interior Overload

2011-06-24T14:54:00.000-07:00

Now that I have my own place, I have been getting into interior design more and more. I just like looking at different homes and decors that are all over the internet. These are some of the ones I found and like. I have faith that in a few years I would be able to enjoy such a beautiful and luxury decorative home somewhere in the hills of California with my husband and kids. Lol I know I know, I like to dream, but I'll be there soon. I would love a victorian style house. I think that they represent class and are very elegant of course mines would have a modern twist to it. I love how architect can be a big difference in how a room or house looks. Sorry if it's interior design overload. I was envisioning my future home.

Jumping The Broom

2011-04-14T12:33:00.001-07:00

I am in LOVE with leopard. I have always have been, growing up my bedroom was always leopard, but as I got older I tried to mature, but my bathroom set is leopard :) All these shoes are wedges because I love the leopard look on shoes mostly on wedges and I know you might think I'm crazy, but all want all of these! Lol. I bought some leopard wedges from GoJane the ones shown in the pic. What do you think of my shoe picks?

Red Lips

2011-04-10T01:36:00.000-07:00

I went out to a lounge and took pics of my look on my phone, sorry for the quality and sorry for the mess in the background I was in my friend's room. I love red lipstick, it's sexy! lol I also wore a pair of my favorite heels. The lounge is always open to celebrities for their listening parties and things of that nature so I thought that it was only right that I brought these.

New Found Love...MCM!

2011-01-07T15:08:00.000-08:00

Sorry Juicy, Louis, and any other brand I have been carrying at this moment. There's a brand making a comeback in the fashion world and an entrance into my heart! I am in love with MCM and their cognac color bags. So classy and chic, I must own some of these bags soon. Quoted from Wiki "Mode Creation Munich (MCM) is Germany's luxury brand, founded in 1976 in Germany, but now based in South Korea. Mode Creation Munich is headed by chairman and CEO Sung-Joo Kim. It now has offices in 8 countries worldwide with over 70 boutiques." I use to live in South Korea in a city called Taegu or Daegu (it's kind of like toe-ma-to and ta-ma-to.. pronounciation thing). I will be visiting soon and will definitely will be purchasing some of these beautiful classic.
