shoes, boots & bags oh my!

I have just realized that for the winter season alone, I have purchased roughly 7-8 pairs of shoes. Ughh, how did that happen???

Is that me complaining? Of course not! I just think I got a teeny-weeny bit carried away this season. I have had to rearrange my closet 3 times with constant shopping trips, but one of my new years resolutions is to make more clothes and do more DIY's, but for now, here are 2 pairs of shoes I just picked up the other day, 1 i grabbed pre-Christmas, along with a new bag I snagged.

Pair #1. I never shop at Spring. I think the last time I did I was in my teens, but I have an obsession with animal print. My dad the other day even said I belonged in the jungle. (I took it as a compliment), but either way, it is a love I can't ignore.

I got these puppies on sale, so it was almost as though they were calling my name! Can't wait to match them with a miniskirt, bright lips and leather studded jacket, to add some sizzle to my life!

Pair #2. For the last few months I have been looking for wedges like these, but could never find a pair that I loved and was in my price range. (Yeah know, cause at this point, I have already purchased 6 pairs) But voila, my love has been found!

I'm already 5'7, but feeling like a giant compared to my gf's is a tiny sacrifice for these beauties. These Aldo booties are bad-ass, are they not? I hate to admit it, but they remind me of Spice Girls circa 1997. Girl Power!!

Match them with american apparel tights or a miniskirt and legs will look miles long. And I sware these boots are just begging to be paired with a band tee. There are some edgy possibilities with these boots.

Pair #3. These were a smart choice. These H&M booties go with everything, and I mean everything! Jeans, tights, skirts and tailored shorts are only a few possibilities. Plus, they are super comfortable, and the rubber wedge keeps a classy lady from falling on her bum in the slippery snow.

Apparently, the shoes weren't enough for me when I stumbled upon this Vieta purse at Winners while doing some Christmas shopping for the family. I love bags that I can hold AND throw over my shoulder, and the fact that this was large enough to pack some shit stuff into it, the purchase had to be done. One wouldn't think these colours go together, but they do for me!

Oh the Holidays. The time to give others, and give yourself :)

I mean, I deserve it!

My Way- J.Crew Way

A while back I was invited to an event called Boobyball. A 70's inspired event for Breast Cancer awareness.

Once invited, I run through my wardrobe of what to wear, and half the time, I just like having something new. Unfortunately, my budget wouldn't allow it. So, plan B. Make something!

I went to a local thrift store and I randomly came across this plus plus PLUS sized womans dress shirt. It had the biggest shoulder pads I had ever seen and it was literally falling off of me. However, the sparkles in the fabric mixed with the texture directed me straight to the checkout.

I basically took it apart and then put it back together. Except, I wore it as a minidress. I brought in the sides and arms and took out the slits in the side. Voila!

Don't mind the picture quality. It was taken with an iPhone.

Back to my point. As I browse the latest trends online (which I do just about everyday) I came across this J.Crew dress.

Look Familiar? I thought so too.

I just like to put my own twist on things. That's life right? You always appreciate things more when you DIY!

Balmain on the Brain

So-Into-This. Loving how bad-A it all looks with the studs and crystals! Whoever knows me, knows I have a huge obsession with studs and just about every outfit here is covered in them and matched with fish nets, destroyed jeans and leathers. Here are some of my favorites from the collection.. So enjoy!

oh, and while you scroll, have a listen to some Marina & the Diamonds!

Tuesday night Sesh

Not gonna lie. I haven't always been a huge Rihanna fan, but as of lately, I've been pretty impressed. I guess I was over that whole "Good girl gone bad" thing, but her music as of late is making me a born-again Rihanna fan!



And, as most know, I'm a drake fan, so I guess that helps....

Coco for Elle

Styled by Anne-Marie Curtis, Coco Rocha makes us "Fall" for her all over again in the October issue of Elle UK. It is the magazines 25th anniversary as Elle UK celebrates the occasion with a 25- page spread for the exclusive issue.

Photographed by David Vasiljevic in The Word Girl, Rocha is dressed in the latest fashions from Donna Karan, Alberta Feretti & Burberry.

I sincerely adore this editorial. Rocha looks old Hollywood with her hair in ringlets, and colourful pout, while charming us with her irresistible allure, on the arms of some flirtatious male models.
