Shoe In Review: Current Obsessions

For my first "Shoe In Review" post I thought I'd share a couple shoe styles I'm currently obsessing over. While I'm on a sort of shopping hiatus, it doesn't hurt to browse around and plan my next shopping attack. Macy's has a great buy 2 get one free sale right now. So great it might just put my hiatus on hiatus.

Obsession #1: The Pointy Toe

Jessica Simpson Shoes, Jaide Pumps

GUESS Shoes, Myrick Single Sole Cap Toe Pumps

Both pairs are buy 2 get one free. The blue pump also comes in leopard with a camel color bow on the back. CUTE! You know, for a woman who loves shoes as much as I do,  you'd think a classic pointy toes would be in my collection. I need to fix this. I am literally drooling over theses pairs of shoes right now.  Seriously. It's gross.

Obsession # 2: The T-Strap Sandals

Jessica Simpson Shoes, Bansi Platform Sandals

Look at these! Jessica Simpson can do no wrong when it comes to shoes. I love the glitter detail on the heal and platform. Great pair of shoes for a girls night out!

Jessica Simpson Shoes, Shama Platform Wedge Sandals

These shoes would go with anything. Dress them up or down, I love them!  They're the best type of shoe to wear out when you know you're going to be on your feet for a long period of time. 

Maybe I should make my shopping hiatus begin next week?

The Skirt

Top: Target, Jean Jacket: NY & Co., Skirt: Forever 21, Shoes: Nine West

This skirt has to be one of my favorites.  The second I put it on I started twirling around like a little girl.  Drew looks at me like I'm a crazy person. I always follow up with "You'd do this too if you were wearing this skirt."  It's so breezy, comfortable, and I love the color. I can't wait to start pairing it with other colorful pieces. 

Colorful

Top & Shoes: Target / Skirt: Kohl's / Necklace & Clutch: Charming Charlie

This is an outfit from last weekend. One of my favorite party skirts!   My necklace and top don't really match the colors in the skirt. But hey, it works! I don't have to be matchy matchy all the time.

I had another successful work event last week in good old Cincinnati!  It was a one day retail design event focused on Millennials. I loved lisetening to what all the GenX and Baby Boomers had to say about us Millenials. All of it so true (creepy).  Event #4...SUCCESS!

Drew and I had our engagement photos taken this weekend. They were so much fun and I can't wait to see the finished product.  I wasn't as camera shy as I thought I would be.  Maybe I'll venture outside someday soon for blog pics.

I'll be sure to share the photos as soon as we get them back!

Shorts and Wedges

Shots: Forever21

Necklace: Charming Charlie

Bracelet: Kohl's

Shoes: Target

Bag: Burlington Coat Factory

This was an oufit I wore over the weekend.  I wore it to dinner and made Drew take me home  so I could change immediately after. I just wasn't comfortable.  I love the idea of this outfit but I need shorts that fit better. Dark denim with a little more length, I'm thinking.  Any suggestions on where I should shop? I'm thinking Gap.

Royal Blue

Top, Belt, Skirt: Target

Necklace: Charming Charlie

Bracelet: Avon

Shoes: BCBG

I'm ashamed to admit this beautiful skirt has been sitting in my closet since January. Yes, January. It took some time for me to get comfortable dressing up in a casual work environment, let alone trying to style a bright blue tight skirt.  I'm making progress.   It won't sit that long EVER again. Promise.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. My motivation is lacking after such a long weekend.  I should be back in my groove by tomorrow.



Vacation Bound!

Shirt, Belt, Scarf, Sandals: Target

Maxi Skirt: Old Navy

Another set of photos from my trusty iPhone!  They're not the best but they get the job done. This will be my last post until the end of next week.  I'm going on VACATION!  We're going to Gulf Shores, Alabama for the Hangout Music Fest!  I get to see Coheed & Cambria, Jack White, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Dave Matthews Band (among MANY other bands)!  A long weekend of great bands on the beach. What more could you ask for?

I'll be sure to share photos when I return.  Have a lovely weekend!



Turquoise & Navy - DAY 2

Top: Target

Blazer: H&M

Cropped Pants: Kohl's- Lauren Conrad

Shoes: DSW - Jessica Simpson

Bracelete: Francesca's

See, I told you.  Completely obsessed! You just can't go wrong with navy and turquoise.  It took a lot of pep talking to wear this outfit to work.  You see, I'm still new so I try not to stand out too much. I thought I'd wait for everyone to actually know my name before referring to me as the girl that dresses tacky.  No but seriously, I love this outfit.  .

I'm picking up my wedding dress today! EEEEE!  I'm so nervous. I'm so scared I'm not going to love it as much as I did when I picked it out.  It's been WAY too long since I've seen it.  I'll have an update tomorrow.

Have a good night!

Obsession: Turquoise & Navy

Pants: Target

Shoes: Payless

Clutch: DSW

I'm back!  I know, I was gone much longer than I told you. Thanks for sticking around :)

It has been a crazy whirlwind since I started this new job.  I'm starting to get used to the craziness, finally.  Just a bit of an adjustment period I suppose.  Don't get me wrong, I love it.  It's defintely keeping me on my toes. With that being said, I'll be limiting my postes to Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays. 

I hope everyone is doing well!  I've missed my blogger world so much!



Polka Dot Shoes

Hi, it's me. Yes, I'm still alive.  As much as this pains me to say, I think I'm going to take a little blog break (hopefully for just a week). I barely have time to keep up with my blog among many other things.  My new job is a bit more intense than I ever expected. I barely have time for anything it seems.  I will be in LA next week for an event and hope to get back to blogging (maybe cut it down to Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays) when I return. 

 Thanks for sticking with me, loves. Blogging has been my favorite hobby and I absolutely do not want to give up on it 100%.

Have a wonderful Holiday weekend!



A Bad Day in Fabulous Shoes

Top: Loft

Sweater: Banana Republic

Black skinnies: Guess

Shoes: BCBG - DSW

I had an extrememly stressful day at work today so I'm keeping this one short.  At least I wore comfortable fabulous shoes all day!   I came home to flowers, beer, crab cakes & chocolate. Drew has to be the best fiance ever.

Hope everyone had a better day than me!

Black White & Coral

Top: Loft

Pants: Target

Shoes: shoedazzel.com

I don't know about you but this outfit reminds me of Uma Thurman's outfit during the Jack Rabbit Slims Twist Contest in Pulp Fiction.  Easily one of my many favorite scenes from the movie. This was my Friday date night oufit.  I can't tell you how many times during dinner I wanted to throw these shoes off and start doing the twist. For Drew's sake, I didn't go through with it.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

Mustard & Flannel

Top & Bracelet: NY & Co.

Cropped Pants: H&M

Shoes: Target

Necklace: Forever21

I'm the queen of cropped pants this week.  I don't know why I'm holding back from busting out these white legs.  I mean, it's not like I'm doing anything to make them tan.  Jergens helps, but it's not giving me the results I want. Not to mention the awful streaks on my legs. Ugh.  Maybe I'll suck it up next week before all of my dresses and skirts go on strike and leave me.

Maxi Skirt & Sock Bun

Top: Forever21

Jean Jacket: NY & Co.

Maxi Skirt: Old Navy

Shoes: Payless

Bracelet & Earrings: Kohl's

Necklace: Target

I bought this maxi skirt last week and it's the second time I've worn it.  If you haven't made the maxi skirt plunge, I suggest you do it soon! Totally worth it.  It's so comfortable and will go with just about anything. I'm sure this will be a definite go to this spring/summer. 

 Thanks to the wonderful Pinterst, I've officially learned how to do a sock bun.  I had to adjust to the fact I was wearing a sock on my head all day, but it's 6pm and it's still going strong! The old bobby pin trick just doesn't work anymore with my long hair.  

Favorite Shoes

Top: H&M

Blazer: LC-Kohl's

Pants: Target

Shoes: Nine West

Necklace: Charming Charlie

Bracelet: Ruche

I made the decision today, these shoes are my absolute favorite pair of shoes I own. Maybe it's because it's been about 5 months since I've worn them.  I had to knock some dust off of them before putting them on.   The warm weather makes my shoe options are endless!   Drew just doesn't understand my excitement.  You all understand, don't you?
