Help Me!

We all know that I'm a shoe addict...

Soooo when I was on Pinterest the other day I found these really cute sneakers. 

But then the worst happened: There was no link to the picture!!

So where in the world can I find these shoes???

I need them.

I love them.

Btw you can follow my Pinterest here.

Someone be my bestest friend and let me know if you see these; on the street, or on a website.

Thanks!

Let's Get Some Shoes!!

When I found out that this weeks Friday Fancies was Shoes I was so estatic! 

Anyone who knows me KNOWS that I am the Shoe Queen. Not Shoe Addict, Shoe QUEEN. 

But I decided to choose 4 shoes that I think are very important for Spring/Summer.

Shoes by niikirbm featuring converse sneakers

1. Wedges: I love wedges because they always make me feel so feminine. All my spring/summer dresses will be worn with wedges. I love heels, but I tend to only wear my pumps at night when I'm out on the town. Wedges are a nice alternative and there are so many to choose from!
2. Sperry's: I had to throw some leopard in there. I have a pair of leopard Sperry's that I'm so excited to wear when it warms up. These ones are just as cute.
3. Sandals: Enough said. Sandals = toes out and cute bright colored sandals! Aldo has a great collection. My favorite color Teal is everywhere!
4. Sneakers: Converse are my favorites so whenever my legs can come out I throw them on. I have some in every color, except white. This summer I may venture out and get some!

My Surprise Visit

So this weekend I took a trip to New Jersey. This was to surprise Gregory for his birthday. I literally had been planning this trip for 2 months with his best friend and it happened without a single hitch! He was so surprised! I even had his mom in on the surprise. Gregory really thought I wasn't coming because I kept making other plans the same weekend so I "couldn't make it". There was one point that he was honestly sad and a little upset that I couldn't come. But little did he know that I had my flight booked since March and I was ready to surprise him with his gift (me!) I think he went through several emotions in one minute. I hadn't seen him since Christmas so it was so nice to see the grin on his face when I walked into the club!!! All of his close friends were there to celebrate and we all danced and drank the night away! Such a good time! The club was called Red and I appropriately wore my red dress! I didn't take a picture of the shoes but I wore my Nude pumps that I just bought at the beginning of this month and they really made the whole outfit hot!(the pic of them is in my last post). I also recently just got my hair redid so I was feeling pretty good with how I looked!

But even though my time in New Jersey was short I had a blast. Hit up a couple of bars, ate some White Castle, and hung out with some really great people. There was one more big surprise of the weekend and it came from his parents. Ill make a whole separate post about it because it is just too awesome!

So now that its almost June the Summer of Trips has begun. I leave for ANOTHER trip to New Jersey  in 2 weeks and I am really looking forward to it. I hope to do all the things that I didn't get to do this time. I definitely want to hit up Six Flags :) I am heading to Charlotte this weekend for Memorial Day Weekend with the family. Should be a good time! My parents, cousins, and Aunts and Uncles will be there. My cousin just bought a house with her fiance' and they are finally having a get together. The house is gorgeous!!! There will definitely be pictures to capture all that happens. Then in July I am heading to NY for a weekend filled with my Upsilon Family, Stepping, and Strolling (all some of my favorite things!) That should definitely be a good time!

Until next time!

May Catch-Up

So I thought I would do a little catch up of my month so far...these are just a few photos of the beginning of May!

Left to Right: Outfit for Firestone Henry Santos concert, New D&G glasses, Shoedazzle shoe Solara, Me, Anne and Ashley heading out for a graduation celebration, Cinco De Mayo Outfit, Shoedazzle shoe Insatiable.

Henry Santos concert was a disaster! We ended up leaving the venue to go visit people downtown before the show started (he didn't even perform until 1am) but we weren't allowed back in the club when we returned even though the bouncer TOLD us we could before we left...smh. It did end up being a good time anyway because we club hopped and that is always fun. I broke in my new black wedges that I got from Charlotte Russe and my feet didn't hurt the entire night!

I am so happy that I was able to get new glasses after 3 years of having my old ones. I'm always late when it comes to updating things like prescriptions, but 2012 has let me get things in order. I love these frames and I am so happy with my choice. Not gonna lie, they look exactly like my old frames except they are all back and not black and red  ^.^

Christmas came when I received my Shoedazzle shoes in the mail! I had been waiting on my insatiable shoe for A MONTH!!! They are limited addition and super high but I love the way they make my legs look. Because of the height and the platform these are definitely NOT clubbing shoes so I will have to find a nice event to wear these where I wont be moving a lot or perhaps sitting down lol. The Solara is the nude shoe I have been waiting for! I still want patent leather ones, but these are so classy and I am excited to be wearing these this weekend!

Graduation has come and gone at UCF but they sure do love to party down here. So the Friday night of graduation we headed downtown to see everyone after SEVERAL venue changes (i like to club hop, but not with so many people). After a long conversation we decided to visit and stay at a club one of my good friends started working at. It was an interesting night to say the least. We had a stalker who refused to speak to us, stayed within 10 feet of us the whole night, and when we didn't give him any attention THREW BEAD NECKLACES at us....who does that????? It was weird but fun. Didn't get my usual slice of pizza at the end of the night but my feet were killing so I wouldn't have wanted to wait.

CINCO DE MAYO was awesome! Early dinner at a Mexican Restaurant called Maria Bonitas :) and really strong Margaritas!!! That night we headed downtown (yes I frequent there) and drank Coronas all night and danced the night away! I had a blast! My outfit was so much fun. I had bought my tribal skirt weeks before and was saving it for this outing. My good friend Anne let me borrow her shoes because I admired them so much the night before :) They are by Wild Pair are sky high but ridiculously comfortable. Unfortunately I have been trying to find my own pair but cannot find the EXACT ones. They only have a snakeskin or red leopard. But i am not complaining because I WILL be getting the multi colored snakeskin. Ill probably add them to my June wish list :)

So that's all that has been going on so far in the month of May...but its almost over! Ill recap the last couple weeks once its over...Memorial Day in Charlotte is coming up and a bday celebration that will probably be a little chaotic!!

Wish List for May

So every month I always make a small wish list of things that I intend to buy that month. Keyword is INTEND since I always end up getting other things that catch my attention. I suffer from small doses of shopping ADD but its a touch and go thing. But for the most part I always end up with what I intentionally went in to buy. Except for Target lol I can't go in there without looking at the no-no areas (shoes, beauty, jewelry, and clearance!)

I organized my closet the other day by color because I read in a magazine that if you do that its easier to see what you have a lot of. Well low and behold I found out that I love to wear black, grey, blue, and purple. Those are my go to colors and I need to stay away this summer; or at least cut back.I am trying to focus on adding things that are versatile and colorful to my wardrobe so we shall see how it goes.

White Jeans/Capris/Bermudas: I have a love hate relationship with white because of the "dirty" factor. But I have a really great navy blue blazer that I want to wear and I think it would look great with white jeans instead of dark ones

Brown Sandals: I really don't have any flat shoes. I live in heels! But since it is the summer I know there will be a lot of times that I need flats. Mostly during the day and even at work. I like to be comfortable at work so I never wear my 6-inchers to the job. But a couple of cute pairs of sandals in colors OTHER THAN BLACK would have my wardrobe a lot. Maybe i choose more colors to wear up top.

Maxi dresses: Now I already have one but I figure I cant just wear one all summer. They are more comfortable than I thought because there really is no effort to wear these dresses. I love the idea of slipping it on and going. But I plan to get bright colors. The one in my closet is BLUE lol

Shoes!!: I said I buy shoes every week and I really wasn't kidding. I'm going to have to post a picture of my collection just so it can be known how bad my addiction is!

Suede Mary Jane Wedge: I have been staring at these for a month now and I haven't decided which ones I really want. Blue or Fuchsia. If I get the fuchsia I would have to find something amazing for them to go with. I already have so many things that go with the blue ones!

Cork Wedges: I really love the way cork wedges look. They seem lighter and a couple I have tried on were. I am not a fan of the original espadrilles because they felt bulky and I could never find ones that didn't cut into my skin. But we shall see. The tribal ones look awesome!

Blue Keyhole Pumps: These a elusive just because they are sold out everyone on line except for one place. I want to replace my old blue pumps with these. I would be adding blue again to my collection but I feel like switching out doesn't count right?

**Sadly this is only my wish list. What I end up at the end of the month will be a whole other story. Ill recap at the end just to see how I did**

eBay Anniversary

So randomly today was my anniversary for being an eBy member for 7 YEARS! I couldn't believe it. I have been ordering random items since 2005. I remember back in college I did not have a car so when it came time for key items that I really wanted I would turn to eBay and have it delivered right to my dorm. It was so perfect. I ordered everything from pea coats to jewelry and my obsession at the time; Vera Bradley. Yes I loved those bags but refused to pay full price and found so many people who bought a bunch and sold them for cheap on eBay. I never buy anything used and I am an avid checker of reviews (one bad review and I cant mess with you). But today I just felt like it was a good day to order things so I picked up a couple items and Im so excited about them!

CELL PHONE CASE: I got this rhinestone blingy case for my iphone and I have to say that it is so simple and chic and cute it definitely fits me. I wanted something that was very glam but wasn't an entire case covered in crystals. I love the bow and the fact that you can still see the bottom part of the phone. Now it was only 7 bucks with free shipping! You can't beat that. The downside; its being shipped from Hong Kong and could be here anytime between May 14th and May 25th. OMG thats like a whole month. But for such a cute case ill wait. Until then Ill just stare at the picture.

CHEROKEE MOCCASIN BOOTIES: Now these were a gift for me and I am so happy to be getting these. The ship time is way quicker than the phone case. I am hoping to have these bad boys by Cinco De Mayo. I decided that since downtown is going to be crazy with all the celebratory madness I dont want to be dragging along in my stilettos; it is not going to be a typical club night. But since these are booties I dont have to worry about my legs getting hot and Ive already decided on a cute outfit that im wearing out. I love the fact that even though they are moccasins they can be worn in the spring and summer too! I got them in black but if I am really enthralled when them Ill probably get the tan too. 32 bucks and free shipping again. The original site no longer had my size so I did some digging until I found them! eBay was a winner with me today!
