Ankle strap heels is a hot trend this summer.  This style of heel has been seen on celebrities from Solange, Rihanna, and Kerry Washington. Ashley Madekwe has been sporting one of my favorite pairs of the season. The Saint Laurent "Jane" ankle strap heel. Knowing I can't afford to spend my rent money on the YSL , I have my eye on a pair by Jeffrey Campbell and Zara.  Ankle strap shoes are all over and you can get a pair on any budget.  I will be definitely rocking a pair or two this summer.

Garage Sale Quick Shots

Hey everyone this pass weekend has been a rush of laughter, fun, non-sleep, attending art shows throwing a garage sale and turning a year older.  Sorry I don't have a bunch of shots, I just was to busy drinking , laughing, and eating cupcake to pick up my brand new Nikon SLR 3100. Oh yeah, I finally got it!!  Anyway, the garage sale was a success, even if many people didn't show. Their loss, a few lucky ladies gain HAHA.  As a result of its success with little people, I think I might open up a online store on the blog. Sell some of the great piece I can no longer keep. Just a thought. Well off to do some work.

V-day a source of happiness for some and dread for others. Me, I'm the latter.  Here are a few outfits for the day. I try to pull together outfits for a romantic night out with your lover, a fun night out with friends, or a outfit that you can wear if you going on a first date to.  They all consist of a little bit of sugar, a little spice, and everything nice. Some are hot and some are as sweet as pie. You decide what you like to be on the day of Love.  And what will I be doing on V-day? Spending it with my family, who will celebrate the life of my grandmother who passed 6 years ago on V-day. Hope you have a great weekend. And look forward to a post of all the cool things I have brought this pass weekend.

I decided to make a fantasy winter wish-list of some of my favorite things that have seen online recently. Some of them I might be fortunate to received others may be a long shot. Most of the items I notice fit into two themes: Aztec culture or Night prowler . Aztec theme consist of gold-tone, deep reds, and olive colors and Night prowler consisting of more black. I don't know which one I like the most because I love all of items. So which one do you prefer? The Aztec/Mayan warrior princess or the Nightrider/prowler?
