New York fashion has finally come to an end. I missed out again this year. I hope next year I will be right there watching the models glide down the runway. I gathered some of my favorites from the Diane von Furstenburg Spring 2013 show. I adore her free flowing sheer fabrics and her signature style prints. She's one of my favorite designers when it comes to colorful prints and sexy dresses.

Happy Halloween

I few weeks ago I attended the natural hair show in Atlanta Ga. I spotted two lovely young women while there. Their hair and outfits really grabbed my attention. The painted makeup was also an attention grabber. What a great idea for a painted face Halloween costume. I love painted faces for Halloween. Check out these lovely painted master pieces I found on the web below.

Jessica Simpson Platform

Last week on a little last minute shopping trip I spotted these oh so sexy Jessica Simpson color block platform sandals. I love Jessica Simpson's shoe line. I love her shoes because they are comfortable,reasonably priced and unique.I would definitely recommend her shoes,if you are looking for good quality shoes at a low price.I would rather pay this price compared to the pricey Louboutin platform sandal.

Celebrities wearing the pricey Louboutin platform. So similar in style to the Jessica Simpson pair.

INC Carlin wedge sandal

So happy I finally found my wedge sandal for the summer. I've been searching all over for the perfect wedge and here it is.I originally wanted the BCBG wedges below,but they are out of stock. Thanks to my BFF/fashion stylist,for picking these out for me. They are very similar to the pair I wanted and I love them.She's a life saver when it comes to style and fashion. She found these for me at Macy's,but my size 5.5 was not in stock,so I ordered it. So glad I know if my size is not available,I can always order it.

Next on my shopping list is finding a pair of flat thong sandals and I hope to have my BFF/fashion stylist tagging along.

Any suggestions on where buy some really cute thong sandals?

The winter season will end pretty soon and Spring will be here before you know it.Today I am sharing one of my favorite color trends of the winter season. Burgundy was the new black for winter 2012. I created this combo of pink and burgundy look,inspired by Tory Burch runway look above. I mixed shades of burgundy and pink with a touch of gold.Burgundy is such a rich and elegant color and can add a touch of class to your wardrobe. By adding gold accessories to burgundy enhances the beauty of this shade.

The day has come! I 'm so glad I finally found the perfect pair of riding boots,thanks to my BFF. I love my new boots and I can't wait to pair them with my black leggings.I know winter is almost over,but that's OK I still have a couple of weeks to get some wear out of them. Now that winter is almost over,now is the time to start searching for some really cute sandals. I really need to start early,because of my shoe size(size 5-6).If I wait too late these sizes go quick and stores don't supply enough shoes in smaller sizes.
