Sorry for the lack in posts lately! I've been busy at work doing everything... all the while preparing to leave the country for 3 weeks!

I hope to take some great pictures and share what I find at the crazy big malls they have over there! Until my return... Arrivederci!

Zip it up

More you say?  Here's another shoe find...

I really like the zipper bootie kind of look to these with the little platform & sexy cut-out straps to show a little feet skin... and in awesome nudes too!

Jimmy Choo - Glenys Cage Platform Sandals at saksfifthavenue.com for $995
Steve Madden - Nanciee at stevemadden.com for $99.95 - these aren't on clearance, so no additional discounts, but still way cheaper than the Jimmy Choos!

Updated 7.8.10


Jessica Simpson has her own version (Gobow) of these shoes on sale for $79.99 right now too with a platform. Not too shabby!

Eyes Lips Face - 60% off sitewide!

My best friend gave me some stuff from E.L.F. long ago (nail polish remover pads amongst some of them). I noticed that Target has started carrying the brand now too (I avoid buying in store if I can get it online tax-free since I live in lovely Los Angeles where tax is 9.75%)! The good thing of having them in store is I can run out to my local Target to feel, smear, and touch the products before I decide to order it online. E.L.F. is a cute company with pretty nifty products for very reasonable prices!

From now 'til midnight, everything is 60% off online with a minimum $25 purchase w/ coupon code SIXTY!  I'm nabbing up some of their Studio line brushes (I've heard they're comparable to MAC brushes), makeup removing wipes, and nail polish removing wipes for traveling. 60% off is a steal to me! Standard shipping is $6.95 (but I think you're still saving tons from their retail prices).

Yuck!!

Yuck yuck yuck!!! Just say NO to clogs! Apparently, it's a trend this season. I don't care what designer's name you put on them...UGLY!  How are these flattering to your feet?

Studs & Straps

Good morning!  Here's another deal for both you fashionistas & frugalistas out there!

These have the same studded strappy sandal design. Obviously the Aldos don't have the same middle cut-out or a criss-cross strap, but they're pretty close!

Get the Jimmy Choos at saksfifthavenue.com MSRP $975.

Get the Aldos at aldoshoes.com MSRP $80. On sale for $39.98

Caged sandals

Here's another steal for you ladies.  Aldo is having a sale for Independence Day weekend, so take advantage!

Jimmy Choos Keenan Metallic Caged Sandals - $995 at saksfifthavenue.com

Aldo Garlits - MSRP $70. On sale for $49.98 at aldoshoes.com

Found these Exsell wedges at stevemadden.com as well for MSRP $169.95. On sale for $116.99.+ an additional 40% off this weekend with code: 40CLEARANCE

Jelly flats

Remember back in elementary school when jelly shoes were all the rage? I know I had 3 pairs: hot pink, clear, and yellow. Comfy, bright, and fun!

Jellies have been brought back for a few seasons now and they've combined it with a new trend of studs.  I found this deal/steal.

These have been out for awhile, so you're in luck because they're on sale both the real deal & the steal!

Jimmy Choo - MSRP $235. On sale for $164 at bergdoffgoodman.com

Aldo - MSRP $40. On sale for $23.98 at aldoshoes.com + Free shipping until this Sunday

Shapely lips

I found this neat little "how to" on how to define your cupid's bow for your lips!  

You don't have to buy Benefit's kit to achieve the look.  I use a NYX lipliner in Natural.
