NEW IN :: CELINE ESPADRILLES

Good morning, Everyone! Hope you're enjoying your weekend! I just wanted to share a few images of my latest obsession, i.e. Celine platform espadrilles! I've been eyeing them for some time now and when I tried them on at Barney's last week on a particularly cold and gloomy day, I figured these were the best gloomy-day cure I could find:)! Aside of course from the bright orange color, I love the comfy platform. You know me, I definitely prefer heels over flats and this platform is seriously the best option if you want to be comfortable but still get a bit of a lift!

#SUNDAYFUNDAY :: SHOES & BAGS

Good morning and happy Sunday, Everyone! Hope you're all enjoying your weekend! I just wanted to say a quick hello and share a few of my favorite shoes and bags at the moment, staring with MARC JACOBS Suede Trouble bag and AQUAZZURA Saharienne sandals. And if you happen to be a shoe and bag addict like me, CLICK HERE to see even more of my favorites:) Hope you enjoy!

Good morning, Everyone! Hope you're all having a wonderful week! 

If you read my blog on regular basis, you probably know what a complete and total shoeaholic I am!  Though I love clothing, jewelry, bags and other accessories, my weakness for all of the above pales in comparison to my obsession with shoes! I can honestly say that I can shoe shop all day, every day! Seriously, not exaggerating one bit!:) 

Having said that, not all shoes are created equal. Shopping for basics or necessities, if you will, doesn't usually get my juices flowing. Since for some inexplicable reason I have a flair for the dramatic when it comes to shoes, what gets me really excited is details, interesting shapes, colors and fabrics. To put it simply, anything but plain, please:) 

Which brings me to the pair I am wearing in today's post. Abundant in details, I love the scalloped edge and the elegant heel! But honestly, it is the black and white pyramid print that makes them one of my absolutely favorite pairs ever! So, I hope you don't mind seeing a lot more of them in the future:)

PIECE DE RESISTANCE

Good morning, Everyone! Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! 

My newest shoe obsession arrived yesterday morning and from the moment I put them on, I knew it was a match made in shoe heaven! You know me, I am all about details and this pair certainly has them in abundance. Can't really decide what it is I love the most about them, the crystal embellished back, the asymmetric toe or the way the crystal accents shimmer against the deep black suede... Most likely it's the combination of all of the above, but whatever it is, I haven't been able to take them off. So, I suppose I should warn you right now, that there is a really good chance you'll be seeing quite a bit of them on this blog. Hope you don't mind:)

MARSALA MANIA

Good morning, Everyone! Hope your weekend is going great so far! 

I wanted to say a quick hello a share a few of my recent obsessions in one of my favorite colors. You see, even before Marsala was announced as the official color of 2015, I've always had a soft spot for this rich red-brown. Warm, sophisticated and vibrant, Marsala pairs beautifully with a wide variety of colors, the combination with black and white being among my favorites! Though, lately I am also a bit partial to wearing it with navy or grey. 

The ankle boots I'm wearing in today's post are a recent acquisition but have already become one of my favorite pairs. I can't really decide what I love about them the most... Is it the color or the thicker heel or maybe it's the asymmetrical leather-trimmed topline... Or, what is perhaps most likely, it's all of the above, combined together to create one stunning pair of boots. 

The wool fedora hat I got from Express recently, is another one of my current favorites! I am having a bit of a hat moment lately, and by lately I mean for the past week or so:) You see, I got up one morning and was greeted by gray skies and pouring rain. As I was trying to decide whether to spray the entire bottle of hair spray on my head or just half to keep my curls looking somewhat presentable, a bright idea downed upon me! What if I were to skip hair spay entirely and wear a wide-brimmed hat instead! And so I did! Long story short, hair style remained in tact all day long despite spending considerable time outside in the pouring rain. And so, a hat obsession was born:) 

What about you guys, what are your latest obsessions?

NEW IN :: MICHAEL KORS ADELINA RUNWAY SANDALS

Morning Everyone! Hope you are all enjoying your weekend! I wanted to say a quick hello and share a few current obsessions and favorites. 

I got these awesome Michael Kors heels especially for Fashion Week, well... Fashion Week was really just an excuse because I've had my eye on them for a while now:) Personally  I am very happy to see thicker heels making a big comeback this season. As much as I love my stilettos, I am oh-so-very-ready for a more comfortable shoe, and thicker heels are definitely easier to run around in! Aside of course from the heel, what I really like about these particular sandals is how versatile they are. Yes, yes, I know, I talk about versatility all the time! But it's so important to me to be able to wear my favorite shoes in a variety of ways because once I find something I like, I pretty much tend to live in it:) 

The second obsession du jour is this amazing gel manicure I got especially for Fashion Week. I know, I am a bit late to the whole gel nail thing. But since I like to change my nail polish colors often, normally I just stick to regular nail polish. However, thinking that I probably don't wonna waste time getting a polish change in New York, I decided to try the gel option instead. And OMG, I absolutely love it! I got it done a few days ago and my manicure looks exactly like the day I had it done, not to mention the design options are pretty much limitless! Now, I am not saying I will switch to gel premaritally because I think I will get tired of wearing the same nail color for more than a week, but it's definitely a cool option to keep in mind for vacations, trips, etc. What about you guys, have you tried gel nail polish? How do you like it?

NEW IN :: BARBARA BUI EMBELLISHED LEATHER SANDALS

Hey, Everyone! How is our week going so far? I wanted to take this opportunity to share pics of my new favorite pair of sandals ever! And they are flats! Honestly, since I pretty much wear high heels 24/7, I never thought that a pair of flats could make me weak at the knees, yet that's exactly what happened! I went to Intermix looking for a dress to wear in Vegas, and of course couldn't resist checking the shoe section while I was there. And that's where I found them, sitting on the shelf in all their chained and embellished glory. Oh, and once I put them on, that was petty much it! Game over, they simply had to come home with me:) I love, love, love absolutely everything about them, the chain links, the spikes and the crystal embellishments!!! I probably sound a little obsessed, but you know me, I get really excited about shoes:)

NEW FAVORITES: AQUAZZURA SAHARIENNE SANDALS & ELODIE K #ARMPARTY

Good morning, Everyone! How is your week going so far? I wanted to take this opportunity to share a few images of some of my new obsessions. You see, I've been looking for a pair of snake-print sandals for the longest time, but just couldn't seem to find exactly what I was looking for. That is until I spotted these gorgeous strappy Aquazzura sandals. Most of the time, I look for sandals with a fairly high heel. For some inexplicable reason, a lot of snake-print sandals I came across either had no heel at all or it just wasn't high enough. Also, I wanted something I could wear day or night, and these go perfectly with a pair of jeans or a cute cocktail dress. So, win win in both categories:) Oh, and in terms of comfort, though they are not exactly bunny slippers, as far as high heels go, they are definitely one of my most comfortable pairs. I have small but fairly wide feet, so finding sandals that don't cut-off circulation completely is always a bonus:) 

Another obsession I've developed lately, is rather two separate obsessions combined into one. Rose gold and ear cuffs, and if I can find a combination of both, well..., that's even better! Since I've been wearing quite a few ear cuffs lately, I can tell you, most of them are not comfortable to wear. The 2 main problems I come across with ear cuffs are as follows: either the clip-on part fits really snug and eventually begins to hurt, or it just doesn't grip well enough (I lost a few ear cuffs and didn't even notice). Now, the particular one I am wearing in today's post fits just perfectly. Not too tight or too loose, it hooks securely to your earlobe, stays in place while you don't even feel it's there at all. Fact that it just happens to be the prettiest combination of rose gold and delicate stones is definitely an added bonus!:)
