Fabulous Find: Leopard Booties

Hi Loves! How was your holiday weekend? Hopefully you enjoyed it. I'll indulge you with a purchase that finally arrived today!

I've been on the hunt for some leopard booties ever since this post. I actually found those amazing Rock & Republic shoes one day from a sale on HauteLook. But due to a sizing issue they sadly never worked and I was back on the trail again. After searching and searching for another option that was cute and affordable [key word!] I came across these adorable booties a few weeks ago. I was shocked when I saw they were from Charlotte Russe and only 35 bucks! I immediately purchased them and they arrived today cheering my Tuesday right up! Even though we're about to hit summer I figure I still have a few days left to wear them and they'll be perfect for all my fall outfits! Do you love? Head over here to Charlotte Russe where you can add these to your own closet and take note from these lovely celebs on ways to style them!

 I can't wait to rush home and put them on to see if they fit! Here's hoping.... Happy Tuesday! :)

Ten Ways to Wear 1 Little White Dress [LWD]

Lately I've enjoyed discovering how to wear one piece of clothing many different ways. So far my favorite piece I've tried this with has been a black maxi dress. Options that I've done are: [not all at the same time obvi!] a leopard belt, a bright colored bra, tossed on a jean jacket, dressed it up with wedges and worn a burnout tee over top.... all giving me tons of different looks! It's been fun using pieces I already have in my wardrobe to create several styles. Now I want to challenge you to do the same! I figured you might need some inspiration. So watch the video below from FabSugar about how to wear 1 LWD ten different ways. Then click through some of the LWD options I found and start discovering your inner stylist! Happy Wednesday! xoxo


Now here are the options! Have Fun!!!

Steal Her Look For Less: Celebrities in Gucci Spring/Summer 2011

I've been obsessing over the fact that COLOR! is so major right now! Based on the runways of Jil Sander, Versace, Jason Wu, Proenza Schouler, DKNY and so many more, it was a known fact that your wardrobe must be bright! And while sometimes color can be a little scary for those who stick to a neutral pallete, I think it's a great way to spruce up your look. This season's Gucci collection has been all about the color. Rich jewel tones with splashes of Gold make up the base while cut-outs and plunging necklines are just a few of the added details that make the S/S pieces so special. Plus I've noticed TONS of celebrities wearing the line over the past few months. Olivia Wilde and Camilla Belle are just a few...

And as of two weeks ago, Gucci S/S 2011 clothing has actually been featured on over 50 magazine covers [not to mention all the editorials I've seen too]. Pretty fabulous! I was totally inspired by this collection [take a look at the print campaign here and the runway show here] and determined to find some looks for less to add into my closet. I found that one store was delivering big time with this trend: Zara. I had been hunting everywhere for a Pink Maxi skirt that could match a look I saw at S/S 2011 Jil Sander runway show and Ashley texted me with a find! $60 bucks at Zara! (Hey that beats the 985 price tag!) So I rushed over to the Santa Monica Promenade location. The minute I walked into the store it was as if the rainbow exploded all over the place - in the best possible way. Oranges, Pinks, Greens and Blues were everywhere and in basic pieces like blazers, pants, mini skirts. I was in color heaven! I've always liked Zara but after all the pieces I fell in love with now I am obsessed! I want to share my finds with you dear readers but unfortunately for us, Zara doesn't have a U.S. online shopping site. However you can click on each piece below and be directed to the right place on the site to find what you're looking for. There you can find the colors and sizes that each one comes in and stalk your nearest Zara.

Plus I think there are so many more options than this actually in the store - you've just got to search for them! (That blue dress is so gorgeous and comes in Green, Pink, Yellow and White! Perfect for an outdoor wedding!) If you scoop anything up - let me know what you find.. I promise that you will not be disappointed!! :)
