Wedges Fit For A Summer BBQ

Happy Thursday and for some of the lucky few happy weekend! With everyone in the city doing the yearly disappearing act for the 4th of July I wanted to share with you one of my favorite pairs of wedges. These Christian Louboutin called the Une Plume Sling are so comfortable I would walk a mile in them with no complaints. I love the cork detailing especially since most cork wedges don’t have a glossy finish over them. This prevents them from getting ruined and personally make them look brand new every time I wear them. I can not tell you how many times people have asked me if they are new or if I did something to my shoes to make them so shiny all the time. However, Christian Louboutin sadly does not carry them in black patent on their website anymore, but I am sure they do in their stores. They come in a lower height as well if you aren’t too thrilled about them being so tall. I think that for wedges you can never go to tall you just have to make sure that the arch isn’t too steep because otherwise you would feel like you were walking on your tippy toes all night. They are perfect for anything from work to any bbq you will be attending this holiday weekend. If you haven’t already check out the Christian Louboutin website for their new collection of shoes that come in every skin tone that you can imagine. For anyone heading out of the city today please travel safely! The roads / travel always get crazy around the holiday weekend so I am just as happy to stay put in the city with my sweet puppy Stella.

Summer Dress Fun

Summer is the best time of the year in NYC because it’s time to break out those fun dresses that have been hiding in the back of our closets. Last summer is when my love for the gym started and because I was working out so much a lot of my summer dresses just didn’t seem to fit me right anymore. My Mom told me to head on over to Bloomingdales and see what they had because it was Friends & Family. This black dress I found in their sale section for $20! Yes you read that right with all the discounts added on top of it this dress was such a steal! I know there a lot of people who will look at this dress and say its too loose for a summer dress, but that is what I was looking for.  For the most part at least from what I’ve seen since living in NYC  people like to wear short tight dresses or even long maxi dresses in the summer months. That isn’t the case for me when it comes to my summer dresses. When looking for a summer dress color isn’t an obstacle for me because I will wear black even during the summer. However, it is especially hard to find a black dress that isn’t too plain and simple. I love the detailing on the front of this dress and especially the crossing straps in the back. The details give this simple black summer dress a little something extra to it. It is so comfortable and easy to wear that I am sad that it doesn’t come in multiple colors. If it did I would have purchased it in every single color available. This is honestly the perfect dress to wear to a backyard BBQ, a rooftop bar and even a date night out. When it gets so hot during the summer it hard to dress without sweating through your clothes, but this dress is the perfect mix of fun and comfortable for these summer months. If you are still searching for that perfect dress for this weekends festivities head on over to Bloomingdales and check out their amazing selection of summer dresses. <3

The Perfect Leather Skirt

Happy Monday! Now what is a Fall wardrobe without including a great black leather skirt. This black leather skirt is from Alice and Olivia and I am obsessed with it! I bought this skirt 3 years ago during summer right before I moved to New York. My mother always says with certain staple items in your wardrobe they are your investment pieces. She says this because these are the pieces that never go out of style and you will wear from season to season to season. When it comes to looking for a great leather skirt find one that is a solid color, but also one that isn’t necessarily a straight cut. This skirt has pleats in it and also it cinches at the waist. Unlike other leather skirts that I have tried on in the past this skirt gives me more of an hourglass shape, but also with the pleats it makes the skirt look fuller than it actually is. Someone one time even asked me when I wore it out if I had something under the skirt to make it look fuller than it actually was.  If you are unsure if you would wear a leather skirt every winter then this season buy a faux leather one and test it out. See how often you wear it during the season and if you find yourself wearing more than 5 times before spring then you should purchase the real deal come spring. Like I previously said I purchased this skirt during the summer before I moved to New York because it was on sale. These pieces are honestly the best to buy during the off season because they get heavily reduced, but if you want one right now just remember that Thanksgiving is just around the corner!! Crazy! Hope everyone has a great Monday.
