Lo Quiero Ahora: Springtime Fun Needed Here…

Hola Divas…
So as you read on my previous post, I have a new job. And I am the salary with this job is going to afford me the opportunity to shop again. Well, not again but shop places other than Forever21+ and Target. Don’t get me wrong… I love the T & F21 but I miss being able to afford City Chic & Torrid. So this morning I woke up to browse some of my favorite online shops and pic some items that I thought would take my closet to the next level. Then I thought… why not share my loves with my readers so that they can see I’m serious about turning this blog around…

What do you think about my springtime wants?

Jade Garden Maxi – City Chic

Polka Dot Sheath – Monroe & Main 

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Manda Sleeveless Faux Wrap Dress – Macy’s

Twist Tee Striped Callie Off-Shoulder Tee – Torrid 

As you can see… I included a few of my favorite things: maxi dresses, stripes, polka dots, & color…. now if only the funds would align with my desires. Hasta la proxima ~besitos~

Lo Quiero Ahora: Sigma Beauty Spa Solutions Kit

I have eczema... it sucks because it means on some days my face is my canvas... on other days... it means I wish I could rip my skin off and hide it from the world. I have been telling myself that I need something like the Clarisonic tool... but let's be honest here... I'm a mother of 3 children and a husband who is trying to rebuild his business after the recession so I can't afford a $200 face cleansing tool... this is why I love being an affiliate to Sigma. They offer great products for a price that "everyday people" can afford. I don't make much and what I do earn I can't see me taking $200 dollars of that for my own vanity.

Here is where Sigma comes in (YES.. it is the same place I buy my makeup brushes). They have a tool that is just as good as the Clarisonic tool... but at a fraction of the cost. How much do you ask? $59!!!! Yes you read that correctly... its like 1/3 of the price of the fancy smancy brand name product... and I'm sorry... but I am not all that excited about paying for the "name brand". So if you're like me and have been coveting a facial cleaning tool that has all the bells and whistles but won't break your bank account then do like I will did and buy the Sigma Beauty Spa Solution Kit for $59

If you do decide to purchase... let me know in the comments. If you own one already... how do you like it?

Santa Baby–Lo Quiero Ahora: Old Navy

Hola Divas,
Okay, it’s that wonderful time of year again when I inundate you with the items that I find on the web that I love and need in my life and would seriously want for

‘Christmas. Although I am working (2 jobs) I am still not able to shop like I was in previous years, so I will again be living vicariously through you. I will also let you know about any coupon codes I get via email so maybe you can buy the items that are catching my attention or anything you find while browsing the sites.

So I swung by the Old Navy website because I am seriously on the hunt for sweater dresses for this fall and winter as I am just loving the tights and leggings in my wardrobe lately. I have a few but I really want some new ones (especially if I can find them in some fun colors). So below you will find my favorite pieces from Old Navy. I will put the coupon code for today (which ends in moments) but I will later update the post with the Black Friday Coupon Code… Happy Shopping!! ~besitos~

ShoeDay Saturday: Back to my old tricks…

I realize that blogging is easy if you keep to your old routine. And since I love shoes and loved doing these shoe posts on Saturdays… I knew that if I resumed them that I would probably feel like my old blogging self. And I have to admit… it’s working so far. So this week I went to Alloy looking for pants and I found a pair of shoes (that are unfortunately not in my size) that made me want to look around a bit more. So I figure I would post what I loved whether or not they came in an 11 or not… because not all my readers wear an 11. And maybe one of you can buy them and I can live through your shoe purchase.

Elodi Lace Stiletto – $36.90
~ this shoe is like my dream shoe. Leopard & lace?!!! I would totally wear the heck out of this shoe. Why don’t they make this in an 11?!!! ~

Pulse Wedge – $36.90
~ I am desperate for a pair of everyday black wedges. But I can’t seem to find any that go up to an 11 that won’t break the bank. But wouldn’t the black & purple pair just be awesome? ~

Bella Bootie – $44.90
~ I need a pair of gray leopard booties in my life… just because ~

Grapevine Wedge – $36.90
~ I think these are adorable… I love these ~

ShoeDay Saturday: Blogger or Bust

I am really really trying to blog more…. but this week SUCKED. It rained every time it seemed that I attempted to take pics. And on the day that it didn’t rain, I looked a hot mess. So needless to say… you got nothing. So today I am going to see if I can’t get some pictures of the outfits that I am hoping to wear this week today (not likely as I am rarely motivated these days) but I will try my best. But I figured I would resume my features so that you know that I do care.

I love shoes. I am the designated shoe whisperer to anyone who knows me. I can make any outfit different with just a change of shoes and accessories… so I constantly stay on shoe sites to find something I will like… I figure going forward my gift to myself will be one pair a shoes a month (if I can afford it) or a heel condom so that I can get more bang for my buck. And then get crazy with making my outfits “different”. I love Heels.com! because they have such a diverse class of shoes. I can get casual, dressy, or just plain original shoes from them. Sometimes at a high cost… but I know my feet will demand attention. Here is what I found today…

Gezana - Orange $64.99
~ Madly in love with wedges right now. And I need a new pair of fall ready coral or orange wedges. These would fit the bill nicely.

Soda - Black $49.99
~ This would be a great end of season addition to my shoe collection… love it!!

Who Knows - Black and White $69.99
~ I need a snakeskin (faux snakeskin) shoe in my life. It’s a great compliment to just about any color… but especially with fuchsia and purple ensembles

Gillespie - Mustard $64.99
~ I love this shade lately… mustard is so under utilized… and again… wedge = comfort

Gator - Black $89.99
~ As I prepare for fall… and how I can get my fun fashion going during cooler months. I think these shoes would be totally fun to build an outfit around…

So take advantage of the End of Summer Sale going on NOW at Heels.com! Great shoes on sale from Jessica Simpson, L.A.M.B., Guess, and more! I am so excited about the deals I’ve seen so far. There are such hot shoes at up to 50% off! Check out the Deal of the Day at Heels.com!

Free 2nd Day Shipping on all purchases
Couldn’t find a coupon code… but I always Google to be sure there isn’t one on the cyberweb somewhere… these shoes are too cute to not get because you are a few dollars short… lol… enjoy your Saturday!

ShoeDay Saturday: Oh so Shiekh

I’m not sure if you do pronounce Shiekh “Chic” but that is how I pronounce it… hence the title. So they have great shoes… great sexy shoes that are in my size… oh yeah!!! I live for shoes in a size eleven that don’t bore me…

The Daria by Posh $64.97
~ the studs on this shoe are killing me… like seriously murdering me one look at a time.

Gezana by Michael Antonio $69.97 $34.97 (on sale)
~This shoe would be great because it’s simple but so versatile

Alexine by Shiekh $52.97 $34.97 (on sale)
~ Okay… this shoe has so many colors… I could literally wear it with anything!!

Vanila by Shiekh $29.97 $17.00 (on sale)
~ Can you tell I like shoes that are already colorblocked?!!

Moonway by Shiekh $62.97
~ This shoe is not in my size… but I love it… it’s smoking hot!!!

Graphic by Michael Antonio $69.97
~ I know it won’t be summer forever… and these shoes would be awesome with a pair of bootcut jeans this fall with an awesome blazer.
