Want it Wednesday!

These pumps are the most trendy and fabulously fun heel I have seen this season! The 3.1 Phillip Lim 'Baroque' Multi T-Strap Pump surpasses all of my expectations.

This pump features 3 straps of gorgeous black leather, all fastening with stunningly shiny gold buckles. The main portion of this fabulous platform pump is wrapped in supple suede. The heel height is 5" with 1 1/4" platform and the shoe is available in both Grey and Bordeaux.

The best part of this shoe for me is the FIERCE heel. Can you say diva?! The snake skin golden embellished heel makes the shoe in my opinion, and brings this platform pump to a whole new level.

This 3.1 Phillip Lim 'Baroque' Multi T-Strap Pump is 100% something that I WANT! Could you imagine how amazing these pumps would look with an edgy black dress, black tights, gold jewelry, and a gold clutch!? HEAVEN!

You can purchase the 3.1 Phillip Lim 'Baroque' Multi T-Strap Pump at Nordstrom

Emmy Awards- My Best and Worst Dressed Stars

Award shows are one of my favorite things to watch- It is so fun to be transported to the Red Carpet for a night with the stars! Of course the best part about award shows are the amazing DRESSES! So I am here to recap some of my favorites, and some that really didn't impress me.

Of course the fierce, fabulous, and stunning Kim Kardashian is #1 on my best dressed list for the Emmy Awards. She looks like a Grecian Goddess in this white Marchesa gown with an amazing built-in necklace. She pulls it all together with Lorraine Schwartz jewels (bracelets and a diamond pinky finger ring).

Although the star of 'Glee' didn't take in any awards of her own, she did make my best dressed list! She was one of my favorites of the night- Ms. Lea Michele's stunning navy Oscar de la Renta gown. The neckline of this gown is so cute on Lea, and the ruffled mermaid hem really add that va-va-voom! Lea also paired her gown with stunning jewels by Lorraine Schwartz- I adore the necklace, it adds so much to her overall look!

Another favorite of the night was Claire Danes- She was such a vision in this stunning strapless Armani Prive gown. I am obsessed with the complete and total all-over beading on this gown. The color compliments her complexion perfectly, and the overall styling is perfection.

Kate Gosselin... why??? Needless to say, Kate made my WORST dressed list for the night. First of all, she just looks so incredibly out of place at the Emmy Awards. The gown is by Carmen Marc Valvo, and unfortunately it looks cheap, ill-fitting, and just totally boring. And the cowl-neck... let's not even talk about that. Overall, she didn't impress on the red carpet.

Lauren Graham did nothing to excite us on the Red Carpet. Her gown was by Yigal Azrouel, and unfortunately looks hideous. This does nothing for her- the huge billowing top looks horrible, the dress is clingy and unflattering for her figure, and the slit is super inappropriate. Overall, her look was a disappointment.

I hope you all enjoyed my Emmy fashion recap! What do you think- Who was your best and worst dressed?? Thanks for reading :)

Amazing Fashion Reference Book

This book is like the Bible of fashion history- 'Fashion Game Book: A World History of 20th Century Fashion' by Florence Muller is a must have for fashion lovers! This book is basically a history book of fashion in the 20th century that teaches the reader about every designer who has majorly influenced an important part of fashion.
This books spans from the 1800s to present day fashion, covering designs from Paul Poiret and Madeleine Vionnet all the way through to the present day fashion icons Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs. The colorful and informative photos in the 'Fashion Game Book' will captivate you and transport you throughout the periods of different designs. This book is essential in understanding the history of fashion and the art of appearance.
It is super fun to test your fashion and designer history knowledge with sporadic interactive quizzes throughout the book- these quizzes ask you to match up designers and their muses, to arrange the Chanel No. 5 bottles in chronological order, which iconic patterns represent what brands, quotes from designers, and more!
I thought I knew a lot about fashion until I read this book and realized how much more I needed to learn- This book is the key to understanding fashion and its importance in the history of the world. I have gathered so much amazing and crucial knowledge from reading this book, and it is something that I will keep forever as a reference. You can open this book at page 1 with almost no knowledge of fashion, and close it at page 350 possessing extraordinary knowledge about fashion. I would completely recommend this book to any fashionista who loves fashion and wants to learn more- it contains an incredible plethora of valuable information.
You can purchase this book at any major bookstore or on Amazon (for around $20).

A New Twist to an Old Favorite

Ok, I am officially OBSESSED!! Awhile ago I posted about my favorite mascara ever- Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash mascara in black. It is such a sultry mascara that really pumps up the volume of your lashes, and is one of the most essential products in my day-to-day makeup regime. Well, ladies, just when I thought it couldn't get any better, IT DID! Bare Escentuals has come out with a new twist to my favorite mascara: Introducing the Buxom Lash Mascara Special Effects Blue Noir.

I am usually an 'all black' type of girl when it comes to my makeup (and clothing a lot of times hehe)- I always use black mascara and black liner- so switching from my usual pure black to a fierce bright blue was completely out of my makeup comfort zone. However, I took a risk and purchased this product at my local Sephora, not sure how much I was going to like it. I love the original black mascara and all products from the Bare Escentuals Buxom line, so I figured I couldn't go wrong. After being able to use it myself, I seriously couldn't be happier with the look it gives me!

You can go back to my previous post to read about how amazing the original Buxom lash mascara is (Click Here: Fab-YOU-lous: My Secret to Perfect Lashes) This Blue Noir mascara is exactly the same formula as the original black Bare Escentuals Buxom Lash that I love so much- It gives you big, thick, clump-free and flake-free lashes.

The fabulous color is where the Special Effects Blue Noir differs from the original- This blue color may look scary at first on the brush, but once you apply this to your lashes you will be so excited with the results you achieve. The blue is not as bright as it looks at all, actually it is not even close to it- the color is quite subtle, and does wonders on your eyes- it makes your eyeballs look incredibly white and big! You can layer the Blue Noir on alone (trust me it is VERY subtle blue and you can't notice unless you're up close); But if it scares you a bit, you can always put a coat of black on first then layer a few coats of the Blue Noir on top- this will give you an even more barely noticeable blue hint to your lashes.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with this mascara- I adore this color, and I hope you do too if you try it out- You won't regret it!

Verdict= FABULOUS!!! (5/5 stars)

You can purchase the Bare Escentuals Buxom lash mascara in Blue noir at Sephora stores or Bare Escentuals stores.
Retail Price: $18

Quite a Worthwhile Read

I purchased this book, "That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between" written by Victoria Beckham, on my quest to read lots of fashion books this summer. I wasn't quite sure what it was going to be all about, but the few reviews I read were quite positive, so I figured I would give it a shot.

First of all, I absolutely LOVE Victoria Beckham, she is the epitome of posh fashion and glamour, and is definitely at the top of my list of personal fashion icons. She has created quite a name for herself- starting with the international girl band the Spice Girls, then becoming the wife of superstar David Beckham and mom to her lovely boys, and now as a fashion icon to many, even dabbling in creating her own lines of dresses, jeans, fragrance, and sunglasses.

Victoria has accomplished so much already it would be hard to not find value in her advice and tips, especially on fashion! She ALWAYS dresses herself, and has never hired a stylist (apart from things like magazine cover shoots where they have them on set)- she always pulls her own clothes, and styles every outfit herself. Although this may seem like an obvious 'no brainer' for people, you would be surprised... Almost all celebrities have stylists who dress them for every premiere, party, event, and even everyday life- well Victoria does this all on her own, and I believe she pulls it together MUCH better than any stylist ever could.

Victoria uses this book to share all that she has learned over her diverse career. She gives the reader great advice about what is appropriate to wear/how to dress for specific special occasions, work, nights out on the town, dates, etc. And even better, she tells you exactly where to buy these staples- not only at the expensive shops, but also at cheaper stores (like H&M) where you can get similar looks for less.

Victoria gives amazing fashion, style, and beauty tips to make you look fabulous every time you leave the house. The amazing pictures in this book were just as wonderful as the tips and advice- every picture included is absolutely stunning. Flipping through the pictures alone transports you into a fabulously glamorous world of fashion, and inspires you to dress beautifully and appropriately, while always making time to take care of yourself.

Well, clearly I loved every page of this book because I finished it in one and a half days (it is almost 400 pages, but there were many pictures). I would definitely recommend this read to glamour girls who wants some up-front and honest advice from a beautiful, experienced, down to earth superstar who really knows what she is talking about. Two thumbs up to Victoria, she is FABULOUS!

You can purchase this book at any major bookstore or on Amazon (very cheap).

A Must-Read for Fashion Lovers

I decided to buy a few fashion books to read over this summer, and the first one that I have really begun delving into has far exceeded my expectations. Nina Garcia, from the hit show "Project Runway" and long-time fashion director of ELLE Magazine, has some amazing things to say in her book "The Little Black Book of Style".
I wasn't quite sure what this book was about when I bought it- I knew it had to do with fashion (obviously) and that Nina Garcia was quite a viable fashion source; So I figured I would purchase it and see what info I could get out of it, since I am always trying to expand my knowledge about style and fashion.
Nina is such an empowering woman, who uses her unique writing style to convince others of her strong message. She convinces the reader that they must be confident- a confident woman is someone that all people notice and aspire to be like. We must be comfortable in our own skin and love ourselves- embrace the imperfections, quirks and flaws. And we can all feel more comfortable with ourselves and gain confidence through fashion... "What you wear is how you present yourself to the world, especially today, when human contacts are so quick. Fashion is instant language" ~Miuccia Prada.
"The Little Black Book of Style" really surprised me with its content- I can't put it down! This book helps every woman explore and create her own personal style, and with this new found style, exude confidence and tell the world who she is. Nina Garcia includes wonderful tips and tricks on how to dress at every occasion, advice on fashion necessities, and inspiration to always look your best. This is truly a book that every woman will appreciate and enjoy.
You can purchase this book at bookstores or on Amazon.

Calgel Manicure Update

Wow is all I have to say! Pinch yourself and believe what you are seeing- these are what my nails look like almost a month after my Calgel manicure (picture above)!
I posted photos of my first Calgel manicure at Marie Nails in NYC almost four weeks ago now (photo seen above). I loved the manicure and fun white gradation and glitter design that I got, and can you believe it that a whole month later they still look pristine?!
I absolutely adore my Calgel nails. Over the month of having them I have experienced no chips, no peeling, and no broken nails. My nails feel so strong, have gotten incredibly long, and feel very healthy. I would recommend this service to any fashionista that wants chip-free, healthy, beautiful nails! I cannot wait to get another Calgel manicure the next time I am in NYC- I am going to try a crazier design, maybe with some 3-D art ;)

Have any of you tried Calgel? Tell me what you think!

Marc by Marc Jacobs "Classic Q - Ukita"

Time for my first review!

I just finished my finals yesterday and was SO excited to come home and see this fabulously beautiful purse waiting for me!!! :) I have been eyeing it for quite some time now every time I walked through Nordstroms, and finally caved in to buy it. I needed a purse for NYC this summer- it needed to be large enough for a laptop and books, cross body style, durable, and have a closed/covered flap- this "Classic Q- Ukita" definitely covers all the bases. I love the color (I got black) and the hardware is gorgeous (a very shiny, light gold). It has a magnetic closure, interior zip, and cellphone pocket. The Marc Jacobs logo-print lining is adorable! The bag is cross body, but it also has the option to be an under arm bag as well (you can either remove the long cross body strap or leave it on, either way looks great); This allows a transition from day to night, makes this bag look different, and gives you an option about how to wear it. I would absolutely recommend this bag to anyone who wants to be trendy, but still needs some functionality in a bag as well.

Verdict= Love it (4/5 stars)

You can purchase the "Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q- Ukita" at Nordstroms or Saks.

Retails price: $498
