Sparkles Delight!

We all know how much I love my sparkles and embellishments, so my adoration of this shoe will probably be of no surprise. Embellishments (like sequins and jewels) are a hot trend for the Fall season. The REPORT 'Lem' Flat is a new design for Fall that follows this trend, but definitely stands out- this flat doesn't fail to impress.
I purchased the REPORT 'Lem' Flat a few weeks ago- I bought the black version, as seen in the picture above. It is hard to ignore the assortment of embellishments on this shoe- the toe is covered in sparkling jewels, pearls of various sizes, and multi-colored beads. The leather on this shoe is very subtle and super soft, while sporting a slight shimmery shine on the material, which is such a fabulous detail. This flat comes in an arrangement of colors including: black, purple, and pewter. I know a few fashionistas that do not like the elastic backing on shoes (Tory Burch's Reva Flat has this kind of back)- I have never minded it, and actually really like it a lot. This shoe has that elastic backing as well; however, I really appreciate it because it assures that my shoe won't fall off while I am walking (which is something that often happens with flats), but it also allows for much comfort in the shoe- it won't be too big or too small. I find the fit on these shoes to be normal, so order what you would consider to be your normal shoe size.
These flats are extremely versatile- they can be styled as a day-to-day casual look or for a fancy night on the town. These shoes have it all- the sparkle, the shine, the comfort- all for a reasonable price- how can you beat them?!

Verdict= FABULOUS!!!

Q49 Hillier Purse

I am in LOVE with this fierce new addition to the Marc By Marc Jacobs handbag collection! The 'Q49 Hillier' Hobo is amazing, and I love it not only because of its perfection, but also because I am so happy with my previous purse purchases from the Marc By Marc Jacobs brand!
My first blog review ever was about the Marc Jacobs bag that I purchased at the beginning of this summer (Click here: Fab-YOU-lous: Marc by Marc Jacobs "Classic Q - Ukita")- Months after this purchase and blog review, I still adore this bag- I am actually wearing it today ;) It has made it through being stuffed to the brim with everything imaginable (from high heels to a laptop) and survived rainstorms and crazy weather, but has gotten more soft and gorgeous with every use! I couldn't be happier with my Classic Q Ukita purse, so I really would love to expand my Marc Jacobs collection, and this Q49 Hillier Hobo is the perfect bag to do so with!
The Q49 Hillier is similar to my Ukita, but the biggest difference is the colors available- I am obsessed with this color 'Peacock' that is available in this style! This bag's dimensions are 14"W x 12"H x 5"D, which would be a medium/large size, giving you lots of space for all of your necessities.
I adore the gold toned logo bar in the top center of this bag, which adds subtle dimension to the slouchy, beautiful, and soft leather. Another fantastic detail, as with all Marc Jacobs bags, is the inside lining- This bag's lining is especially fun, as you can see in the picture above. The Q49 Hillier has such a youthful and festive bright red star print, just adding to the amazing details of this bag. The strap is removable and adjustable, so you can wear the bag long, crossbody, or remove the long strap entirely and wear it under your arm.
This purse also comes in different colors, including 'Dangerouge', the fun color seen above. I adore this hobo: the details and design are spot on with the Marc Jacobs brand, making this bag a showstopper and necessity for every fashionista!

You can purchase the Q49 Hillier hobo, and many other Marc By Marc Jacobs purses at Nordstroms

Perfect for ALL Seasons

I am loving this Kische Open Front Cardigan that I picked up a few weeks ago at Nordstrom! It was sort of a random impulse buy, but I am always in the market for cardigans, shrugs, etc. This cardigan is perfectly fashionable, classic, and sophisticated, while also providing comfortable functional style!
I am SO glad that I purchased this- First, it is SUCH a reasonable price (only $39). It is made very well out of divine fabric- it is so comfortable and stretchy. It is very lightweight, but is long sleeve, making it PERFECT for all seasons! I am wearing it right now as I write this post hehe ;)
I personally purchased this piece in black (as seen above), but this cardigan is available in so many colors! Kische makes this amazing cardigan in black, heather oatmeal, spiced rose, heather grey melange, mulberry purple, and twilight blue. No matter what your style and fancy, you will definitely find a color that suits your personality! I am considering purchasing the spiced rose and mulberry purple colors myself because I love the black so much!

Tory Burch Sandals

I have always loved Tory Burch shoes, especially flats, as I blogged about previously (Click Here: Fab-YOU-lous: Tory Burch Reva Flats). But her flats aren't all that are fabulous, her fun summer sandals are amazing too!
I purchased the Tory Burch 'Thora' sandal in black at the end of last summer, and I absolutely adore them! I am usually anti-flip flops, unless they are classy and most importantly, NOT made of rubber- So obviously, these meet all of my rules for the perfect summer flip flop, and I would totally recommend them to Tory Burch loving fashionistas!
I have worn them a lot this summer and have found that they really wear well over time. The 'Thora' is a patent leather thong sandal that features the classic silver Tory Burch logo medallion in the center of the strap. A very fun detail, especially for Tory Burch fans, is the sandal's embossed lining with the Tory Burch brand logo- it is discreet (especially when on your foot), but adds a little extra detail to the shoe. These flip flops are stylish, classic, chic, and they will match with almost any outfit!
The only issue with these sandals is that they are quite thin (as you can see above). If you want to walk a long distance, then you should opt for a different and more supportive shoe choice for the day, as these will get uncomfortable after a long day of walking (if you still wish to wear sandals and want something super comfortable to walk in, I would recommend Jack Rogers sandals- Click here for more info: Fab-YOU-lous: Jack Rogers Navajo Sandals). To get around this thin-soled comfort issue though, I wear them out to dinner, the movies, or a girl's night- places where I know that I won't be doing a lot of walking, but still need to look stylish and fashionable! Either way, I love these shoes and they are yet another Tory Burch item that remains a staple in my summer wardrobe!

Verdict= Loves it! (4/5 stars)

You can purchase the Tory Burch 'Thora' sandals at department stores such as Nordstroms or Neiman Marcus

Trend Alert: Lace up Boots

Calling all fashionistas, we have spotted a hot new trend for Fall: Lace up Boots! It would be hard to ignore this huge emerging trend- This style has been seen all over the runways, on tons of celebrities, and in every single stylish store's looks for Fall.

This style comes in both flat and very high heeled versions. The most fun thing about this trend is that it encompasses such different types of styles: they offer a military, Victorian, and grungy chic vibe. This style is not only versatile style-wise, but also very practical for the Fall/Winter season.

Lace up boots are so cool and tough- they can really change the entire direction that the style of an outfit has. Try pairing some flat, distressed lace up ankle boots with a flirty, girly, ruffly dress for an effortlessly amazing and trendy look.

One of my favorite flat lace up boots of this season is seen in the photo above. The Trouve 'Sabrina' distressed leather ankle boot can be styled like Rachel Bilson's look (as seen above) to get her fun girly grunge look. This rugged distressed boot has two buckle straps and a cool fold over cuff. It is made of leather, so it would be perfect for the slippery and wet Fall/Winter season! It is available at Nordstrom and you can purchase this boot for $150.

You can take this trend in another direction by getting a high heeled version of the Lace up boot. This can dress up any outfit and give it a sort of Victorian vibe. My favorite high heeled lace up boot of the season can be seen in the photo above: It is the Miz Mooz 'Solis' Boot. This boot is made of leather and is so feminine and chic! You can purchase this boot at Nordstrom for $220.

Even the outlandish style icon, Miss Lady Gaga, has been seen out in her own version of the lace up boot style- although definitely crazy, and something that basically no one other than Gaga could ever pull off, she is always on the cusp of new trends and willing to experiment with fashion. So, as you can see above, even Gaga has been seen sporting this fun lace up boot trend.

The possibilities are truly endless with this fun, effortlessly cool new style- Experiment with this fun new trend & enjoy!

A Touch of Edge and a Splash of Sparkle

I am beyond obsessed with one of my most recent purchases- this flawless Sam Edelman 'Una' Peep Toe Bootie! This amazing shoe comes in both black and taupe suede- I personally purchased the black because I am always sporting darker hues, but it was such a hard choice- This shoe is such a show-stopper!

Although, this high heeled peep toe bootie may look difficult to walk in, it surprisingly SO is not! Although it measures in at almost 5 inches tall, the heel is chunky and there is a platform, all making it much easier to maneuver in. Additionally, the bottom of the bootie has a rubber soled grip to it- like an actual boot would- making this heel SUPER easy to walk in, especially, I would imagine, in slippery conditions.

The design of this bootie is fantastically fabulous- My favorite detail is the metallic trim highlights on the inside of the heel, around the peep toe, and under the platform. It is hard to ignore the delightfully brilliant beadwork along the side of this bootie- stunning is an understatement.

Overall, it is obvious that this bootie is amazing- I have never seen anything like this before and I would 100% recommend this heel to any fashionista, like myself, who adores glamour with a touch of sparkle and edge!

Verdict= FABULOUS!!! (5/5 stars)

Tory Burch Logo Flap Clutch

A "go-to" small bag of mine is the Tory Burch Logo Flap Clutch. I love the style and color of this bag so much- the logo plate is so beautiful, the chain is so shiny and versatile, and the nude/neutral leather is durable and matches everything (my actual bag can be seen above).
It is the perfect size for when you don't need to bring all of your life's possessions with you for the day (as I feel obliged to do many times when I am carrying a large bag). As I stated previously on this blog, I usually am a girl who only buys HUGE bags. The only problem with this preference is that whenever I am out for a long day, shopping, etc my arm always gets so tired from holding such a heavy and big bag.

This bag is perfect for everyday and evening wear since the long golden chain allows you to wear it so many different ways! The chain strap is very long so you can wear it messenger style or on one shoulder with a very long chain. You can twist or tie the chain inside of the bag (so no on will see that you have done this) and wear it on one shoulder with varying lengths of the chain. Also, you have the option to remove the chain (it clips off) and use it as a clutch.

I always receive so many compliments whenever I wear it; The color of this bag especially pops when I wear it with all black; however, the nude color can also blend when worn with other neutrals or bright colors. If this nude color isn't for you, the bag is available in many others, so I am sure you can find one that suits your fancy. With all of the fabulous options and styles that this bag has to offer, it will never get boring or dull. I would definitely recommend this bag to fashionistas who need a functional and fun purse for day-to-day wear.

Verdict= Love it! (4/5 stars)

You can purchase the Tory Burch Logo Flap Clutch purse at Tory Burch (in stores and online) and at fine department stores (I bought mine at Nordstrom).
Retail Price: $325

MAC Look in a Box

I love MAC Cosmetics- they are of very high quality, have inventive designs, and never disappoint. However, although MAC isn't ridiculously expensive, it is still quite pricey- especially when you buy things separately, and it is unfortunately rare that MAC offers a kit or value set for us fashionistas to stock up and save some money. Well, ladies, our problem is solved- MAC and Nordstrom have teamed up to offer the MAC Look in a Box kit!
This kit is a Nordstrom Beauty Exclusive created especially for their huge Anniversary sale that happens every year. They seem to be making these MAC Look in a Box kits an annual thing- I purchased last year's set at the Anniversary sale, and I love it! I am actually wearing the Dazzleglass lipgloss from that kit as I write this blog post ;)
This year Nordstrom and MAC have worked together to change the kit and update it with the newest and hottest trends, looks, and styles from this year's MAC makeup lines. The Look in a Box kit comes in three different options- Tawny One (golden brown look), Miss Violet (deep pink and purple look), and Frisky Girl (pale pink and nude look). Each kit includes a mascara, gloss, powder, blush, and eyeshadow that go with the desired look. In addition, the kit includes a face chart (like the picture above) so that you can create your desired chosen look.
This kit is a necessity for every fashionista- choose a look that works best for you and that you personally desire the most. I am so excited that Nordstrom is offering this kit again, and I definitely plan on buying one- I am leaning towards the gorgeous pinks and nudes in the Frisky Girl look. I can't wait to try these fabulous products!
You can purchase the MAC Look in a Box kit at Nordstrom.
Retail Price: $59.50 ($87 value)

Jack Rogers Navajo Sandals

I recently made such a wonderful purchase that I have to share with all of the fashionistas out there! These classic Jack Rogers Hamptons Navajo Sandals are PERFECT for summer. Almost 50 years after their debut, these Jack Rogers sandals are still the classiest summer sandals around and are a must-have for all fashionistas.
These sandals are crafted from soft leather, have a whip-stitched trim, and a classic flat heel. This hand-laced style is exceptionally well made. They do run a bit small/narrow, but I was assured by the sales associate that the leather would stretch and form to my foot perfectly over time. I can already notice this perfect fit forming after just wearing them for one week. They are very comfortable already, but I can see them becoming even more comfortable with normal wear.
The Navajo sandal comes in so many colors- There is definitely a pattern and color to suit every fashionista's fancy. I personally purchased the 'Platinum' color (as seen in the first picture of this post), which I would really recommend- It is fabulous. This shade is a sort of champagne-ish color that truly goes with everything!
These Jack Rogers sandals are an iconic, sophisticated, and timeless style. As seen in the photo above, even Jackie O was photographed wearing these classic sandals (she made them famous)! These sandals add a timelessly chic vibe to any outfit you pair them with; They are truly a must have item for every fashionista!

Verdict= FABULOUS! (5/5 stars)

You can purchase Jack Rogers 'Navajo' leather sandals at Jack Rogers (in stores and online) or at Nordstrom.

Hair Accessories 101: Headbands

My favorite hair accessory ever is the headband. I have been wearing headbands since I can remember because I have always had lots and lots of hair. Headbands are a fun, youthful, and stylish, yet functional accessory that can spruce up any outfit.

The best part about headbands are the variety offered- this accessory can fit any personality because there are so many colors and styles to choose from. Headbands look great with hair up or down, so experiment and find a style that works best for you. They can really add that extra sumthin-sumthinn to your hair and outfit!

Personally, I almost always buy my headbands and hair accessories at Nordstroms. Here are some fun and beautiful styles that they have right now that I recommend:

The Tasha Grosgrain Ribbon Flower Headband for $42 (available in gray, black, champagne, and ivory) Pictured above.
Cara Accessories 'Vintage Rocks' Headband for $38 (available in pink, lilac, gray, and nude) Pictured on model above.

For fashionistas on a budget, I would recommend checking Forever21 for headbands and hair accessories. They are super cheap and great for trendy designs. Here are some that I recommend:
Dual Faceted Bead Headband for $5.80; Pictured above.

Lace Flower Headband for $6.80; Pictured above.

A headband is an accessory that never goes out of style, and is suitable for glamour girls of every age group. Headbands add fun and function to any ensemble, and are an essential for every fashionista.
