JustFab's Royal Treatment

August 20, 2014/ Cynira

It's Wednesday and even though I feel socially obligated to post/wear pink (ode to Mean Girls) I had to break with that to show you a picture of my new handbag and shoes from JustFab.com!

I love the color and it's perfect for my transition into fall!

JustFab Saige

August 07, 2014/ Cynira

Hi loves! I hope you're all having a fantastic day. I've been running around like crazy trying to get a handle on things and catch up on all of my work. I've been posting a lot on my Instagram page so if you aren't following me there make sure you do now @Candycoatedclosets. I'm going to have a few surprises coming up in the next few weeks. Now onto this outfit...

For the past five months or so, I've been deep into the pencil skirt trend. I'm not sure if it's because it's too hot to wear pants or if I'm just too fat to fit into my jeans anymore but I have an arsenal of tight pencil skirts to wear everywhere now. So I really wanted to put together a look surrounding that that could easily transition from day to night.

Outfit details: Earrings: Amrita Singh Shirt: Kohl's Pencil Skirt: Kohl's Ring: Kohl's Bracelet: Local boutique store Shoes: Justfab Saige

Now for my favorite part...this entire look cost me less than $100 (accessories not included). I caught the skirt on sale from Kohl's for only $9.80. How incredible is that?!

Like I said, this is an amazing and easy look that you can wear to work and then out for happy hour - but of course you know for happy hour I'm expecting you to change into higher heels. ;-)

Shoedazzle Abrielle

July 22, 2014/ Cynira

Well I guess this is the season for me to be 6 feet tall everyday because I'm obsessed! Abrielle by Madison is another showstopping shoe that I picked up from Shoedazzle.com!

Shoe details: - Material: Faux Suede with a cork wedge - Heel Height: 6.25 inches - Platform height: 2 inches - Fits true to size - Available in orange and black - Adjustable ankle strap - Price $39.95 VIP / $49.95 Regular

Simple but still sexy - Abrielle is a gorgeous wedge for the summer and a must have for your next date night. I could not believe how light weight and comfortable they feel on given how high the wedge is. Abrielle is a must have this season.

Shoedazzle Kamela

July 21, 2014/ Cynira

Oh, Kamela! I couldn't resist buying you when I saw the bold graphic prints and fun colors in the monthly Shoedazzle video but damn...this is one high platform and heel!

Everyone knows that I'm a girl that is a big fan of high heels and can handle some very tall heights. However, when I put these on, I definitely had to take two steps back and brace myself to walk in them.

Kamela does run true to size, however, since it is a peep toe and a skyscraper heel, I would recommend going up a half of a size if you can. After a while of walking around in them, my big toe started to hurt from all of the pressure of it being pushed to the front and out of the peep toe.

Shoe details: - Heel Height: 6 inches - Platform height: 2 inches - Fits true to size (but I recommend a half size up if you can) - Price $39.95 VIP / $49.95 Regular

Let the posts resume!

July 02, 2014/ Cynira

-Door knocking- Oh hello opportunity! It’s nice to meet you.

Ok I know that was kind of cheesy but that one line pretty much explains the reason for my absence. I told you all that I had to take a little break from my writing duties, reviews and posting pictures because I had to adjust to a few new things happening in my life.

Of course one can never fully adjust and I’m realizing there just isn’t enough time in the day to do everything that I need to do along with the things that I want to do (and sleep right?) but I’m figuring it all out day by day.

With all of that said, I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things, so it’s time to catch you all up on the pretty little things happening in Candy Coated Closets! Yes, my shoe pictures may have dwindled but that didn’t mean I would stop shopping! I mean, honestly!

Make sure you’re following me on Instagram @Candycoatedclosets Since I’m on the go so much now, I’ll be able to engage and interact with a lot more of you on there!

Sakiko by GX by Gwen Stefani

May 28, 2014/ Cynira

Before I jump into this post, I have to apologize for my sudden disappearance. I just started a new job in NYC and I've had to jump in, yes heels first, practically 24/7. So while I'm going through this adjustment, the photos and content on here will be a little delayed. Never fear though, the shoe love will pick up again soon!

Now onto the prettier things! Earlier this year, Gwen Stefani partnered with ShoeDazzle.com to create an affordable line of shoes called GX. The pair I want to show you today is the Sakiko's by GX by Gwen Stefani.

Shoe details: - 5 inch heel - 1 inch platform - Fits true to size - Zipper back closure - $59.95 VIP / $95.95 Reg

I love the whip stitch detail and design that lays on the front of the shoe/foot but the best part is the chunky heel! I feel like I'm almost cheating on my other high heels by wearing something so thick and comfortable! But hey, what's a wardrobe without a little bit of variety!

Head to Shoedazzle.com to purchase!

Met Gala Fashion - The Best and Worst of The Night

May 06, 2014/ Cynira

Since there was no live stream for the Gala this year, fashion addicts had to wait until photos popped up on various social media websites to see what the stars wore to this year's fashion prom. Now that we've seen all of the looks from the festivities...it's time to round up some of the best and worst looks of the night!

I absolutely love Cara Delevingne in this Stella McCartney outfit. The two piece pant and crop top is definitely a step away from the traditional fitted dresses or ball gowns that we are used to seeing on the red carpet and Cara pulls this look together flawlessly.

Janelle Monáe added a Tadashi Shoji cape to her signature black and white ensemble. The cape is absolutely stunning and paired very well with her red bold lip and side braid.

I can't really say much about Rihanna in Stella McCartney. The star was just featured as CFDA's 2014 fashion icon and she certainly lived up to the award wearing this all white two-piece to the Gala.

Hailee Steinfeld donned a classic rise-fall custom dress designed by Prabal Gurung. This was one of my favorite looks of the night because she looks effortlessly put together in this simple number. The pink lining that peeks through the bottom of the dress is a beautiful subtle touch of detail.

Hands down my favorite look (and couple of the night) comes from Blake Lively in a gorgeous custom designed Gucci silk chiffon blush gown that was emboridered with rose gold paillettes. She can do no wrong in this dress.

I'm not sure about Kate Upton in this Dolce & Gabbana dress. I swear every time I look at this picture, I must stare at it for at least five minutes before finding one thing I like about this look. She's wearing pretty accessories? Her makeup looks flawless? No? Seriously, Kate Upton is a gorgeous girl but personally, I don't think this dress flatters her at all.

Hmm, Katie Holmes in Marchesa...Now I thoroughly believe that she was watching Beauty and the Beast with Suri and then had the bright idea to have Belle's ball gown recreated for the Gala, which is a great idea but execution wise, I think someone missed the mark here.

What were some of your favorite looks from the night? Sound off in the comments!

Kentucky Derby Style

May 02, 2014/ Cynira

With California Chrome being the clear standout to win in Saturday's 20-horse Kentucky Derby, I thought I'd give you some inspiration to help you put together the perfect Derby look. Whether you're going to a Kentucky Derby themed-party or staying home to watch the event, you must dress the part!

Whenever I see the top fashion styles from the Kentucky Derby, there's always one item that stands out - the over-the-top statement piece. Normally, that is in the form of a humongous sunhat or flower headpiece. You can choose to emphasize your look with lace hand gloves or chunky accessories, but your best bet when attending these events is to highlight your facial features.

One of my favorite looks that embodies the perfect race day outfit is from Miranda Kerr.

Everything about her look screams elegance, grace and style. She chooses to accessorize this flowy form fitting dress with one cocktail ring on her index finger and a glamorous flower headpiece. She uses a tinted lipgloss to brighten up her face and keeps the rest of her makeup very minimum.

What do my fashionistas think? How would you style yourself for the Derby?

JustFab Ghita

April 24, 2014/ Cynira

When I saw that JustFab released Ghita - their new gladiator stiletto pump - I knew she was a must have for me! Ghita is a modern update to the strappy gladiator trend and I love the edginess of the shoe that is defined by the rows of straps and hardware buckles.

Shoe Details: - 5 inch heel - No platform - Gold buckle hardware - Adjustable buckles - Synthetic Upper - Back counter cut-out - $39.95 VIP / $49.00 Reg

I wanted to show you how the shoe looks on a foot from many different angles so you could envision how it would look on you. Ghita runs true to size and surprisingly very comfortable for not having a platform.

Zigi Soho Tia Pump

April 03, 2014/ Cynira

I know I mentioned before that I was adding more pointy-toe shoes to my collection so when these Zigi Soho Tia Pumps appeared on DSW.com I knew I had to have them.

Shoe details: - Faux leather upper - Patent heel cover - 4.5 stiletto heel - No platform - Scallop topline silhouette

Can I just tell you how amazing the silhouette of these shoes are? I couldn't resist that and the color. They run true to size but I had to break them at first. If you wear a lot of platform heels, getting used to these might take a little bit of time but the style it adds to your wardrobe is definitely worth it.

Bebe: Midi Scuba Skirt $47.40 - $79.00

JustFab - Tirzah Platform Stiletto Sandal

March 05, 2014/ Cynira

Bring on the bold blues! I was looking around online for some bright colored shoes for spring and I came across Tirzah on JustFab.com!

Shoe details: - 5 inch heel - Platform: 1 inch - Synthetic Upper - Man Mad Sole - Runs true to size - Retails for $39.95 VIP/$49.00 Reg

The beautiful cobalt color is what drew me into this platform stiletto sandal and I'm so glad it did. It runs true to size and I would recommend wearing foot slip grips so your foot doesn't slide forward (check out Foot Petals for some shoe grips). If you have wide feet then I recommend going up half of a size.

Pair this sandal with a pair of skinny jeans and a basic tee and you're ready to go! It's perfect for the warmer weather.

Beyonce's 400,000 Swarovski Crystal Gown

February 20, 2014/ Cynira

-Insert me fainting here-

Recently, I haven't been a fan of some of Beyonce's performance pieces but this Vrettos Vrettakos Couture Crystal gown is absolutely stunning!

Beyonce performed at the 2014 BRIT Awards and I must say she definitely shined brighter than any diamond in this 400,000 Swarovski crystal gown.

The BRIT Awards 2014 - Show

Vrettos Vrettakos was born in Athens and graduated from London’s elite Royal College Of Art with a Master’s degree in womenswear in 2005.

Day to Night Chic

February 18, 2014/ Cynira

Whenever I'm planning my outfit for the day, I try to pair things together that would make an easy transition from day to night. Let's be honest...what girl has time to change for dinner and drinks right after working a long day at her 9 to 5?

Here, I managed to create a look that is young and playful while still being appropriate for the office. The best part is that at the end of the day, all I would need to do is take off the blazer, change into some new heels (I usually keep these in the backseat of my car) add a clutch and I'm heading to happy hour with the girls!

Get the look:

Blazer options: Calvin Klein Two-Button Blazer or Shrug Shoulder Slim Peplum Blazer Pants: JustFab Signature Skinny Denim Shoes: JustFab Maude (pink) & JustFab Danika Clutch: JustFab Night Vision
