Shoes of the day!

Ok I don't know what's going on with the weather in NY. Today's it's a high of 78 degrees and it's killing me because I've already made the switch of seasons in my closets and my shopping pattern. I'm ready for boot season!

Here's a quick picture of some of my latest shoe hauls!

The green pumps are Fairfield from the JustFab Luxe line. Beyond gorgeous. I can't wait to pair an outfit with these.

The booties are the G by Guess Lazer Bootie and I'm pretty excited because they were both 30% off.

Let me know if you're looking to purchase any of these babies!

Xoxo,

CCC

Time flies....

The last week of September was super busy! I finally finished celebrating my birthday (September babies wooo) and now I need to catch up on everything thing else that I've been neglecting. So stay tuned for tons of updates on my latest hauls on make up, jewelry and of course fashion!

Yesterday, I walked into my glam room and decided I wanted to style an outfit that was dedicated to my favorite colors for fall: burgundy, emerald and cobalt blue. I love these colors because they are so rich and can easily be paired with some of your favorite neutrals that you already have in your closet.

I kept this look very classic and light on the accessories because I wanted the colors to do all of the work so let's take a look!

What I’m wearing:

Shirt: XSRE      Shoes: Vince Camuto      Skirt: 2cuute     Ring: XSRE     Handbag: Audrey Brooke   Sunglasses: Gucci   Lipcolor: MAC Cosmetics Magenta lipliner with Lust for life lipgloss       Nailpolish: Anise Nailpolish

Xoxo,

My Latest Jewelry Haul

I wanted to show you guys some new pieces I picked up this weekend. I'm so into adding accessories to my wardrobe so I'm always on the hunt for new bold and unique pieces . I'm a girl that loves sparkle, glitz and glam so I tend to get pieces that reflect that. It's weird because I'm such a shy girl but when it comes to my clothes...the bolder the better! Here's some pieces I picked up this weekend.

From One Fashion Lover to Another...

Fall is happening and if your closet is anything like mines, it's in need of a major makeover. So let's cut to the chase shall we?

One of the biggest trends I saw during Fashion week was the bold hues that designers used to highlight the overall theme and look of their collection. One of my favorite colors that I'm now adding a lot of to my closet is Cobalt blue.

Cobalt blue is one of those bold, rich colors that complements every complexion and works to create a bold but yet classic and relaxed fall look. I think it's the perfect pop of color to wear so try adding a silky blouse, a pair of high heels or even a new handbag in your favorite shade of blue.

Here, I quickly paired a pair of leather pants and a jacket with a bright blue top and blue high heels. It's a quick and easy look to put together if it's for a night out with the girls or even a date night. Just remember if you're going to go for a bold look, try wearing a natural lipstick color and define your lips with a darker lipliner. Hey, if you're wearing it for date night throw on some lipgloss on and a smoky shadow and you're set for the night!

What I’m wearing:

Jacket: Jou Jou  Shoes: Mojo Moxy  Pants: Rainbow   Clutch: XSRE

The End of an Era...

The end of summer is always bitter sweet for me. I'm going to miss rocking my summer maxi dresses and cute sparkly sandals but I'm ready to rock some boots! This past weekend in NY it wasn't too hot but it definitely wasn't fall weather, so I decided to rock a cute and casual look that will easily transition me into fall.

 

For the last picture I actually changed my lip color. I lined my lips with MAC Nightmoth lipliner, then used MAC sweet succulence.

What I’m wearing:

Jacket: Rainbow's Shops    Flats: Vince Camuto      Lipstick: MAC Cosmetics    Sunglasses: Alexander McQueen    Earrings: Body Central

Xoxo,

Rue La La - Under $25 Accessories Event

I'm always on the lookout for great shopping deals, so I had to jump at the opportunity when Rue La La sent me a $30 shopping spree credit to check out their refreshed Rue living page. Rue La La is a revolutionized online shopping platform that houses unique boutiques for the life of stylish decor and fashion. It is one of my favorite online shopping boutiques because you can find some amazing prices on high-end, luxury items for your home, footwear, accessories, local services and much more.

Usually, I tend to blow my monthly shopping budget whenever I browse online, however, this time I was determined to wait to use the $30 credit for something more practical. That's when they decided to launch their For Accessory Addicts - bags, scarves & more boutique! Um, hello...accessory addict right here!

This boutique is broken down into 3 categories -  Handbags/Belts, scarves & more/Wallet, wristlets & more! What makes this boutique even better is that they have it broken down into steals under $25, $50 and $100, so it's a great way to pinpoint your price range and shop shop shop! Seeing as I only wanted to use my credit I went right for the Steals under $25.

I found some super cute items but I fell in love with some of their scarves. Here's 3 of my favorite items!

1. La Fiorentina Pom Pom Scarf $58.00  $24.90

2. La Fiorentina Yellow Tassel Trim Scarf $58.00  $24.90

3. Michael Stars "On Your Mark" Raspberry & Ivory Scarflette $38.00  $19.90

I love the versatility you get from wearing a scarf. They're great to add-on another layer to your outfit or even spice up a boring handbag. With fall approaching so quickly this is a great event to check out.

Sign up for Rue la la!

Xoxo,

CCC

80's Baby!

So if you haven't heard already this month is my birthday....yay for 27! So I'm doing a huge birthday celebration giving away prizes to one (or more) of you everyday for the rest of the month. Check out the information on my 27 Days - A Birthday Celebration Page.

When I think of being an 80's baby, I think of cartoons shows like Darkwing Duck, Talespin and Ducktales. Ah the memories! But when it comes to fashion, I can only go by what I've seen in some of my mom's pictures...the huge hair and big earrings. So I was inspired by that for this outfit.

Plus, I picked up a new pair of cowboys boots and had to show off the sparkle. Yes, items with a lot of bling are "my precious"!

Haha, I never thought there would be a day I would wear boots with shorts but hey never say never.

What I'm wearing:

Top: Dots      Bottom: Rainbows       Boots: Not Rated Tailspin     Lipstick: Milani Cosmetics 21-Sangria

A Perfect Match

Everyday I'm looking for the best fashion deals that I can possibly find. It's the only way I can expand and change my wardrobe without breaking my budget. This morning I debated for about two hours before I ordered this fabulous Urban Expressions Deborah Satchel! It went on sale on DSW for $24 and I stared at it for a while. Until I opened up my shoe files (my personal shoe pictures) and remembered my newly purchased Jessica Simpson Arnold Pumps!

Talk about a perfect match and of course I died and ordered! Snatch yours up while you can! The color blocking is a major trend that i think we'll see for a long time!

Style Spotlight: Floppy Hats

This week I decided to put the spotlight on one of my favorite summer accessories: floppy hats! Floppy hats are the perfect summer fashion staple. They're stylish, affordable, and functional. I love popping on a trendy colorful hat before running out of the door. It keeps me cool while I'm running around outside in the summer heat and if the humidity is unbearable, it is the perfect accessory to hide my frizzy hair.

By now I hope you know that I like to wear things with a bit more flare to them.

Here's a picture of me in one of my favorite floppy hats.

Here's two I'm currently lusting over!

The Luxury Lane Women's Beige Floppy Hat Straw Sun Hat with removable scarf $48 on Amazon.com

Jessica Simpson Oversized Rosette Floppy Hat, Dachshund

Show me pictures of how you style yours!!!

XSRE Flash Sale - Part 2!

XSRE is killing me lately! Last week I posted about their hour long 75% off flash sale of the entire store. Well a few days later they had another for any 3 pieces of jewelry for $10! At first I was like...wait any 3 pieces? Like any 3 pieces meaning no maximum? Oh yeah I was going shopping again!

Since myself and a few other girls wiped them out during the 75% off flash sale, there wasn't much left in the store but I did pick up these fabulous earrings again and some awesome bangles!

Black, White and Red All Over

Peplums: You've seen them on the red carpet, out shopping, on the runway and now from my closet! We're definitely in the year of the peplums and I'm here to tell you that it's not impossible for the average girl to pull it off. I know I thought the same thing...who really wants to wear extra fabric around their hips? But if you find the right peplum (length, shape, style) and pair it correctly, it can become one of the biggest staple pieces in your closet.

Style Spotlight: Sarah Jessica Parker

I absolutely adore seeing Sarah Jessica Parker out and about these days. It's great to see her sense of style and how much it reminds me of the infamous Carrie Bradshaw. She always seems to bring a bit of edge to her fashion without being too over the top. Here's a few of her latest looks*:

Not that recent but I love this dress! She wore this to a premiere of Sex & the City so it seems totally fitting that she stepped out in style. The print, the movement in the material, the accessories...it's all a great homage to the iconic style of Carrie Bradshaw.

Here's a few examples of other Red Carpet looks*:

Sometimes simple and classic just works. SJP pulls off these 4 red carpet looks with just a hint of Carrie Bradshaw's flare. The way she accessorizes each dress with one statement/accent piece is what brings these looks together. Very easy glamour.

The actress struts her stuff in this mix and match separates looks. There's not many times that we see the star in a casual, playful outfit but when we do she sure makes it her own!

*These photos are not my own. I found them through a google search.

XSRE Flash Sale

Welcome to accessory heaven. Have you ever had an event to go to and needed to find the perfect set of bangles, necklace, or earrings to really make your outfit?! I don't even know why I asked because I  know the answer to that is yes. Usually shopping for the perfect accessory is a hassle but not anymore.

XSRE is a THE store with everything you need in one stop. Literally everything...I'm not exaggerating. When you first woke in the store your hit with the glitz and glamour and everything in between. From bangles, bracelets, necklaces, rings, headbands, clothes, shoes, hats, hairclips, nail polish, make up and more You name it and you can find it all in XSRE.

Now for the fun part...I was sitting home editing some pictures when I got a flash email from XSRE for 75% off everything in the store!

Cue my thoughts....75% off...I should stay home, I don't really need anything....but 75% off everything...everything???? Can I make it before 7? Well needless to say I threw on a dress, fluffed my hair out and drove to the store as fast as I could.

I arrived there around 6:27 and knew I did not have much time to browse around. I was a woman on a mission. Buy everything I could!

Ok I may have overdone it but 75%?! Come on! Deals like this do not happen everyday.

I filled up my basket and needed to do another run around the store just to be sure I didn't miss anything I would regret. Looking down at my watch I only had 7 minutes to do so before the 7:00 deadline so my heart was racing. I'm not sure if you remember the supermarket game show where the contestants would run through the aisle grabbing anything and everything they wanted and whatever they got to the finish before time ended they got to keep for free? Well that's exactly how I felt running through the aisle because 75% off is just about as close to free as I'm going to find!

The sales associates in the store were amazing! Usually I like to shop in peace and ignore everyone but they were all so friendly and helpful I couldn't help but stop and chat.  They definitely handled the flash sale and craziness of 75% off very well.

 

After all was said and done I saved over $500!! BANANAS!

Even as I'm sitting here writing this I'm regretting not purchasing more. So keep your fingers crossed and let XSRE know on their facebook that you want another 75% off flash sale! Also be sure to sign up for their emails so you can stay up to date with any news and contests going on there (of course I'll remind you)!

Here's a few more pictures of a few of my items!

xoxo,

CCC
