Daily Jackpot

I'm not a huge fan of colored shoes, especially when they're a wedge, but these guys are the perfect combo of a chic, natural hue with trendy straps. I'm loving anything rose-colored lately, which is so out of norm for me, but looks good with a tan. Perhaps these, as well, could be a transitional piece to your early fall wardrobe. Let's face it, $42 for anything, especially a shoe, is definitely a jackpot.

Possession Obsessions

Here's my pick for this week's top five Possessions and Obsessions. The Louboutin's may be a little out of reach, but there's some special holidays coming up in my life (dare to dream). That golden nail polish is sort of a now or never thing, being that fall is rapidly approaching; but it certainly is the best hue of yellow not resembling fungus that I've ever seen. As you can tell by my possessions, I'm very fall focused with my purchases of late. I can't wait to get back to my leggings, and definitely get the best of both worlds with these leather-front-cotton-backed stems. Finally, if you have an at times, shiny face like mine - you NEED the oil absorbing mattifier. Trust me.

Oh Look, An Arm Totem Pole

Or arm party, whichever you prefer. Arm parties have been quite the trending topic for a while now, so this post was definitely a long time coming. Here are some of my current favorite bracelets; all affordable and definitely part of my birthday list. I could have got a lot crazier here, like oh I don't know, the Cartier lurrrrve bracelet. How cliche of me. Let me see your arm parties ladies (and gentlemen)! @Brittany_Ziemba

Savage Beauty

I've been dying to get to The Met for months now to see Savage Beauty, the exhibit in tribute to the late Alexander McQueen. As far as accessories go, I would definitely say McQueen is one of my favorite designers. Savage Beauty closes this Sunday, August 7, after an already extended expiration due to popularity. I hope I make it there in time. Here are some of my favorite photos taken by blogger, Garance Doré.





Daily Jackpot

So I'm hearing the mullet skirt is going to be big this fall, and what's better than a little business in the front, party in the back? Or in this case, vice-versa, because who wants a long skirted front and minidress in the back? Ew. As I'm sure you've caught on by now, I'm a huge fan of TheOutNet, and of course, they've met my desire again today. Check out this perfectly priced transitional piece to add to your wardrobe. Perfect worn alone with sexy sandals for a night out, or to be layered and accessorized for casual daywear.
