The unexpected date night look.

Hola Fashion Heads,

Last night my husband and I went out to dinner, we haven't seen each other all week because of his crazy work schedule lately, he's a bridge painter, yea bridge painter. So we set out to our favorite sushi place in Port Jeff called Hana, we go there so much that my husband has a special "Jimmy Roll" on the menu that he came up with, famous? Maybe you can say. Next door is a bank with a great brick wall that I love the texture  of so I like to take pictures against it. It was still light out when we got there but we were both ravishing, and you never mess with us when we are very hungry or "Hangry" (Han-gree,adj. a state of mind caused by lack of food; hunger causing a negative change in emotional state), so we took the pics after which caused a little bit of lighting issues, can anyone recommend a good camera to buy? I love this outfit because the elements are unexpected, you wouldn't think to add a military vest over this cute and some what sexy-ish outfit, took a page out of The Man Repellers book... although my husband thought I still looked very sexy.  This is the exact example of the type of mixing I like to do,we have a nice outfit and add something like a military vest to it, the shirt and shorts are the soft and the vest is the rough, it makes the outfit interesting for the eye to look at. I would even wear this vest with a feathery short skirt, a t-shirt and booties (note for next time). I could have amped it up more with great jewels, but I wanted the attention on my vest, but don't be afraid to add a big chunky necklace and arm party.  And I'm gona talk about this Marc Jacobs bags for just sec, isn't she pretty?! I have been going through some withdrawls of not having a new bag lately, because bags out of anything is my favorite  part of my wardrobe, so naturally I like to change them up regularly and I haven't added a new one to my closet in what seems like a century! So I was browsing through Off 5th, and found HER, on sale and with an additional 20% off, so I put her around my arm and walked right to the register, we were meant to be ( don't you love when that happens?). I know the summer is coming to an end but the shade is quite dark so I feel it's a good transitional bag to fall.  So without further ado, peep my date night look from last night, and enjoy your weekend! 

Get the look!

Celebrities do look like us..

Hello my Fashion Heads, and Happy Friday!

Here we have my top 3 celebrities in which I would kill for envy their closets. Whether it's their stylists who have great taste or it really is them, I j'adore! Like I said about my style! I love edgy mixed with soft, and I think these three hit the nail on the head with just that. Off the red carpet these chicks  are hitting the streets of mostly LA (I really need to visit) making woman like me drool every time I see a website with their great attire. From Jessica and her hats, great boots and sunnies, to Khloe with her forever growing Louboutin collection and Hermes bags in every color of the rainbow, and Ashley with her boho chic get-ups and great jewelry. These gals show who they are with the clothes on their backs and boots that were made for walking. Now lets remember, these 3 get racks of clothes sent to them daily for free from designers who want them to be seen in their clothes, again WHY NOT ME GOD??

 Jessica Alba is probably my number one, maybe not her acting, but her clothes, oh the clothes, she gives woman at any age inspiration that style doesn't have to stop after you have kids. The mother of two shows that practicality and comfort doesn't have to come at a price and scarifice your wardrobe for sticky kids. I hope to look as good as her when I'm a mom, I'm going to make sure I'm not the one who doesn't get out of her sweat pants as hard at the might be even now sometimes with no kids. And if only I had Khloe's budget, (I don't I know babe) but let's say I did, I would of course donate to charity, number one, and number two, visit Roberson Blvd twice a day.....and lets throw Bergdorf Goodman in there too, just for shits and giggles.  Lastly, the Tisdale, High School Musically surely paid off, why did I ever quit that acting camp I went to?? Ashley manages to keep very California chic and young, with her occasional colored tips in her frock, to her skin tight dresses with studded boots, it somewhat makes me not want summer to end just yet. I would love to be able to pick and choice what the weather will be depending on if I want to wear my military jacket or my maxi dress, but I'm not Bruce almighty, Samuel Jackson did not pick me!

So to conclude again with inspiration, go and take a look in your closet, pull some pieces out, maybe all the way in the back,  mix prints, add the shoe that isn't obvious and have fun, because that's what fashion is all about, take a risk babe!

And here are my favorite outfits they wore!

Dedication to Shoes Tuesday!

What girl doesn't love shoes?! I did some browsing on one of my favorite websites, Nordstrom, no Nordstrom isn't for everyone but I do believe they have the best and largest selection of shoes out there for the average budget minded women with great shoes any where from very high prices to reasonable prices. I've always been one of those types of girls that can really go into ANY STORE and find at least one thing I like, call it a gift and a curse, growing up my mom and I were the best shopping partners, dad was never happy with it, and now my hubby cringes, but I can't help it I like lots of things. My husband likes to remind me that I wasn't born into the Kardashian family, what I would to have their money, the closet I would have, just give me half of it, ahhh! Now back to reality :(  I only went thru a couple of pages on Nordstrom's site and had to stop myself when I found that I had added 20 pairs of shoes to my cart, not necessarily to buy, I wish, but just browsing, wish list we'll say. So here are my top 11, no not 10, I just couldn't make the cut, it was like Sophie's Choice! Great options every where from dressy to casual boots, killer pumps and even an oxford. I believe you can have a very simple plan outfit but make it sing with a killer pair of shoes.
