Oh what a Boot-iful Day

Since I live in Florida, I don't get to wear boots often, so I relish those crisp 60 degree days when i can. This fall I was determined to get some riding boots and after much search I found them!! I saw them in the Macy's ad and had to try them on. I suffer from huge calves, not sexy at all but how can I make them shrink??
Well, I don't have to because I found a boot with elastic in the back. They are perfect with jeggins and tights.

Riding Boots
Made by Baretraps
Style Jaline

They are a lighter shade of brown then they appear in this picture, with gold accents.













Today I came across these Taupe Suede booties that just called out to me, and for $29.99 I couldn't say no. Since they have some ruching in the middle they aren't so boring.

Brand: Qupid Style: System 110

This outfit will be my inspiration to wear them...


Have I mentioned my two year old princess Eva has acquired Mommy's love of shoes?! She has started young but I have no one to blame but myself. Since we will be visiting family for Thanksgiving in Northern Virginia, we need warm boots for Miss Eva. I searched high and low for Ugg look-a-likes, they were $36 at Payless, $18 at Target, too much at Stride Rite, and I found some really cute ones at Children's Place. They were $28, but right now they are 25% off, and I received a 30% off coupon in my email, so the total was $16!!

Here is Miss Eva showing them off ;)

Makeup Organization

Happy Friday Fellow Shoppers!! I'm in the mood to shop today ;) well, when aren't I? LOL

I'm a Virgo and as many of you know, we are the perfectionists, picky, organizers of the zodiac. So it was a surprise that my makeup and tools have been a mess lately. And as a typical Virgo I started researching on where I should store my makeup, came across a lot of videos on youtube, called up my cousin Patty(or Pantie as my daughter called her). She calls herself a makeup whore LOL and of course looked up a couple of websites. I came across the makeup train cases on http://www.yazmo.com/, considered them but I don't think I have enough make up to invest in one yet. 
On a small detour to Target the other night, I came across two small office organizers and I liked the fact they were black, deep enough, and didn't take up alot of space on my dresser. They were $6.99 each at your local Target ;) I found bigger ones but then they would have blocked my mirror. I'm actually going to buy one more because as you will see in the pic, I didn't realize I have so many lipsticks.So this works for me for right now,

Before                                                                        After

Hope it motivates you to get organized. Have a great shopping weekend!

I Heart Guy and Eva

A few weeks ago a friend introduced me to I Heart Guy and Eva Jewelry Guy and Eva and today I won a piece from their Fall/Winter collection!!  They have a great selection of contemporary pieces as well as classic and vintage inspired pieces. After viewing the catalog about 100 times and going through my jewelry box in my head, I decided on these two fabulous pieces ;)
The Gayle necklace, a 18-20" necklace with 1.25" drop. I think it's going to look great with my winter sweaters.
And the Connie earrings, 2". I've been looking for dangling earrings.
