My golden shoes...

It's been a long day but I've managed to get everything I needed out of the way. One more trip tomorrow and I'll be ready for the weekend.  I do look forward to getting dressed up in the mornings because I always try to have fun with whatever is still hanging in my closet. I'll usually start with one piece of garment (i.e. my top) and base everything around it. I have a lot of black in my closet so I'm always trying to mix and match.  I also don't want to wear the same outfit twice (the same way) so it can get a little tricky trying to make something old look new.  The last thing I do is look for my shoes, my purse and then I'm done. 


I call these my "golden shoes" because they've been in my closet for at least 8 years and today was the first time I've worn them. I have another golden pair of heels but I've worn those before.  These are so comfortable but I was never able to find an outfit to go with it. I guess I wasn't trying hard enough.  They are a size 5 and being that my foot shrunk, it fits like a glass. 


I love my job because I get to shop almost everyday. Of course, I don't always shop for myself but I always stop in to look, try on a few things and I'm on my way...  I have a photographic memory when it comes to wardrobe so I'll know exactly what the store has, where it's located and what the latest trends are...crazy, I know. 


One last thing I'm wearing are these adorable Sunnies from Trendy Hip Buys (my favorite online vintage boutique). I love how they look, the size and mostly the functionality of it. I wish these were prescriptions! I have a few more from THB's that I haven't worn yet.. Stay tuned for more..

Sunnies: Trendy Hip Buys l Belt: Goodwill 

Super cool glasses.  They do look like Minnie Mouse ears too right? I'll bet you people at Disneyland will be asking me like crazy where I got these glasses! I can't wait to wear them the next time we go there. 

Tomorrow is "Concert at the Park" featuring a Tribute Band for The Eagles and we'll also be wearing our newest ATF and BFA tees! 

Have a great evening! 

Summer NEON Polishes and Trends....

It's been quite the summer lately. The heat here in Southern California is really reaching the hundreds. I have so much "shopping" (for work) to do but I dread stepping out into the heat.  Watermelon has been our number 1 snack and my ever so loving Sparkling water hits the spot with a dash of lemon. 

I love how the wonderful Spring trend has extended into Summer. Floral prints and Neon accents have truly gone full circle.  I am a child of the 80's so these 2 trends have always been a staple in my closet. I actually have a bright Neon Yellow bag that I haven't even carried yet. I must find the perfect outfit soon! I'm also looking forward to getting pattern, mostly floral print tights because I love wearing tights under a larger sized tunic, v-neck t-shirt or under one of my longer silk collared shirts.  Neons, tights and straight legged pastel jeans are my current obsession at this moment.  

I've been changing my nail polish at least once a week "just because". I think I'm going to change back to my Neon Pink for this coming week because it just brings out my tan even more. I'm naturally tan but Neon just takes my skin color up a notch.  It also accents outfits that I would have never thought to pair up together. I have to admit, I've been a lot more riskier lately so playing is name of the game. I just love all the brights of this season.  

In addition to nail polish, I've also been so obsessed with Vintage Sunglasses. I've been picking up high and low end sunnies solely because they look good.  Sometimes you don't need to spend hundreds of dollars on one pair because there are so many cute ones for 1/2 the price! Remember, it's not how much it costs, but how you put it together that matters...  

American Apparel - 3 for $15.00

I usually use my BUTTER by LONDON base coat, then I use 2 coats
of polish and finish the BUTTER top coat. It's not gel, but it works
just as well.  Since I change my nail polish so much, a week is very long for me!

BUTTER by LONDON Nail polishes run $14.00 a bottle but I got the special
2 (Base and Top Coat) for $25.00. The nail polish is also a favorite of mine
and goes on very smooth and is also a longer lasting polish as well.
