Shoes, shoes . . . i LOVE shoes

If you love shoes as much as I do, then you know how hard it is to stay within your budget when all of these AMAZING new styles are constantly coming out.  My current (and never-ending) designer obsession is YSL. Tasteful and luxurious, yet still keeping in mind contemporary lines and cutting-edge concepts, Yves Saint Laurent's namesake sits prestigiously at the top of the fashion pyramid. YSL continues to outdo themselves season after season, leaving the fashion conscious crowd on the tip of their toes.

Here are a few of the pairs I'm hoping will make it into my closet VERY soon . . .

Here is my new favorite from my closet . . .

New Plan

Ok, so I haven't stuck to my "no shopping" plan and would still like to continue this blog.  I am going to move forward and write about current fashions and things I love.  Also, I will start to post outfit pics and more fun photography very soon.  What other type of content would you like to see?

I can't do it...

So, are you sitting down for this . . . I have something to confess . . . 

  I went against my no shopping for 365 days rule . . .

It was almost exactly like that episode of Sex in the City

Fav new nail color

The weather was gloomy this morning and I was feeling kinda down.  I thought a manicure would pick me back up!  I am now obsessed with this color . . . "Hot & Spicy"  by OPI.  It's a very bright orange/coral that's perfect for spring (and curing gloomy moods).

*** manicures will never be cut out of the budget!  i have to draw the line somewhere :) ***

Christian Louboutin’s new interchangeable strap handbags are an amazing way to change your look in a snap!  “These bags give a language to the upper body; they allow a woman to play with her shoulders,”  says Louboutin.  “Her attitude will shift with each style, just like it does when she changes pumps.”
