Last Thing I Need is Another Pair, But…

I know there is Shoppers Anonymous, but are there tailored classes for people that buy just a certain thing…like for example…off the top of my head…say Nike Air Maxes? If so, where do I sign up, because this is getting ridiculous?

I’m averaging, 2012 alone, 1.2 pair a month and if I buy these today after work, I will jump to 1.4 a month. Still, I have a feeling I’m going to go and buy these fruit punch Nike Air Max Navigate after work and how could I not. I love the reptile texture fabric and the coral and neon green accents. Perfect! Plus, I got the perfect coral tank that would match these perfectly!

It’s official, I’M BUYING THESE!!

Lust-Have List: March 2012

This year seems to be moving along pretty quick and breezy, which just happens to be the way I plan to dress this spring. The weather here in Memphis is already warming up. Today, the record high was broken for this day atn 82 degrees…before noon! Anyway, here are some pieces that I would love to have and incorporate in my breezy, but chic spring wardrobe.

  1. Lovely Peach Dress, $46,Lulu’s – Although neon is going to be huge this season, they’re not for everyone and the spring staple of pastels might be too blah and boring. Well, sorbet colors are nice middle ground, because they have just the right amount of boldness, but with a softness that is spring appropriate. This peachy dress from Lulu’s is so pretty and light and would be a dream piece to have in any spring wardrobe. I love the pleats!
  2. T-Shirt with Leather Details, $29.90, Zara – I love white, thin, and slouchy tees, especially in the hotter months. However, I’ve been looking for one with leather details and low and behold I found one while browsing Zara’a website. It has everything I want and will look amazing paired with solid and colorful jeans this season. I’m so excited to find this!
  3. NARS Wicked Attraction Set, $45, Sephora – My face! This has all the things that you make a nice, light, and dewy spring face, including NARS cult fav duo blush and bronzer duo of Orgasm and Laguna.
  4. Lulu Frost Lighthouse Ring, $156, Shopbop.com – I’ve been feening for one of these long, extension style rings for a while and this one by Lulu Frost is so pretty. The blush colored pink stone and shiny gold contrast is lovely and would work with any and every skin tone.
  5. Sam Edelman ‘Yelena’ Sandal, $139.95, Nordstrom – You need a pair of go-to, goes-with-almost-everything-in your-spring-wardrobe pair of shoes and these Sam Edelman slingback sandals are perfect for me. I love the wide bronze straps the nubuck saddle brown leather. Love them. Want them.

Pre-Order Pondering….Neon Nike Air Max 1

Yep, I’m still in sneaker shopping mode. In the past couple of months, I’ve acquired 2 pair of Air Max 95 and the much sought after white cement IV Jordans. This doesn’t even include the pair of my sneakers I bought for my newly minted ex.

I’m really into Air Max, right now, preferably the ’87, ’94, and ’95 styles. They are chic, classic, and super comfy.

Neon is going to be HUGE this spring and summer. You can tell that just by walking around the clothing department of any store and take notice of all the neon colors on everything from tanks to shoes. I’ve always been a fan of neon during spring, usually neon pink nails and accessories. However, I’m all about neon green and yellow this season. So, when I saw that Nike is going to release some neon yellow Air Max ’87 this April, I pretty much broke out a dougie in my computer chair.

The Air Max 1 a.k.a Air MAx ’87 has a neon yellow canvas upper with white and cooll grey sole. They are scheduled to be released in April 2012 and I want a pair so bad that I’m actually thinking about pre-ordering them from Crooked Tongues.

Trends in Womens Sandals

Sandals have been in existence for a very long time. The oldest sandals – indeed, the oldest footgear – to be found are made of sagebrush bark, and estimated to be 10,000 years old. Sandals began as plain flats made of leather, straw, rubber, rope, or wood, attached to the feet by cords. They were originally worn for comfort, lightness, and air circulation, as they exposed most of the foot and toes. Over the centuries, they have evolved through many modifications and design changes.

Womens sandals, in particular, have become fashion statements, with a great variety of styles, colors, and heel heights. They are seen around the pool, in the office, and at the most elegant parties. Today’s sandals may feature polyester straps for quick drying, traction soles for walking, or glitter for sparkling. Many contemporary womens sandals are detailed with a wedge heel for a polished, leg-lengthening look.

One handsome modern design is Packpunch Wedge Sandals from Nine West. This women’s wedge sandal, available in black or cognac (brown), features wide, straight leather straps across the toes and ankles. A stacked 2” heel and back zip closure complete the look. The refined cut of the Packpunch Wedge Sandals will complement many outfits, and look right during the day and through an evening event.

Cute? or Cute!

I’m getting my life back together after a couple of crazy weeks that included a breakup of a relationship/friendship and a outbreak of the flu among my group of friends. However, there’s no time like the present then to get back on the horse and that includes shopping for spring.

The weather was too nice this weekend to not go ahead and start spotting and scooping pieces to build a lustworthy spring wardrobe. One trend that want to try and embrace it colorblocked pieces, not just color blocking, all together. I saw these color blocked shoes by Boutique 9 and was instantly drawn in my the color combo of navy and coral. However, I’m not sure if I like them or not. Crazy. On the fence. What do you think?
