OTK love

It's just the end of  July but keep in mind that just around the corner will be boots season 😉

As a fashion lover,  I try to invest on at least a pair of great boots every fall/winter season. So when I found this Ivanka Trump wine/burgundy/oxblood OTK boots from Lord & Taylor for $70, I was ecstatic.

With that said, I've round up some cute OTK boots that you will definitely need to incorporate in your fall wardrobe. I've done the work so you don't have to search!

The first boot is the infamous Stuart Weitzman boots... The tie back look is so popular that other designers (more affordable prices) have followed the trend.

The block heel overall is just so popular right now. Plus they are comfy and mom friendly too (for those fashionable mamas)!

First is the Saint Laurent "Babies" block heel boots. The next three are look-alikes from designer that are friendlier for your pocket.

Until next time....

Hi fellow fashion lovers... as you can see, I am using my pup to apologize. My blog and vintage store will be temporarily out of service until this MBA is over or at least until next semester ( if it gets easier for me to breathe a little. sigh). Everyone have a fabulous 2012. 

CHEERS!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year fellow fashion lovers! It has been a while since I blogged. I think I will post pictures of my holiday vacation in a little bit. The hubby and I did a road trip from DC to OKC and MO. It was a lot of fun spending time with the family.

We got back just in time for our New Year’s Eve Gala- a James Bond Theme. The James Bond Gala, hosted in the Washington Plaza, DC is one of the top 10 parties in the US. People all over the east coast come to celebrate the new Year- James Bond Gala style. With VIP, you get three course meal and unlimited alcohol consumption. There's also entertainment and buffet of food and desserts for the other theme rooms. Cheers to the New Year. Have a blessed 2012 everyoneJ

Early Christmas

I am only blogging about this because my Christmas gift from the hubby is awesome this year. We opened our Christmas gifts early because we will be traveling for the holidays and will be spending Christmas apart with our families. The hubby got me what I have wanted for a while; a Marc by Marc Jacobs baby aidan. I already knew I was getting bag but since the hubby is very traditional, he did not let me open my gift until it was time for the gift unwrapping. He also got me a new pink Iphone otter (which is a necessity since I break all my phones) and video editing software. Thanks babes.

His gifts were there suits, DVDs and cufflink sets. Titan, our puppy, also got to open his Christmas gift. Like most dogs, he likes socks better than his gifts. Hahha.

Happy Holidays everyone!

Red and Gold

This weekend, a friend had her 26^th birthday “red and gold theme” dinner at Marriott Grill 700, Baltimore MD. Although it was a hell of a drive, it was a good dinner with good people.

 I wore a gold bandage dress that I bought from nastygal.com. It was short and tight and because it was a little cold that night so I wanted to try my sheer stockings that I purchased from asos.com.  The pro of the stockings is that when you wear it, no one can tell you are wearing one. However, as you can see with the pictures we took that night, it looks a bit shiny. I guess next night out, I will opt to go bare legs instead of wearing the stockings and having pictures with shiny legs. haha

All in all, it was a fun night out with friends.

Happy happy birthday DJ!
