Two of My Fashion Favorites: Florals and Sparkles please!

Florals
Walking the shoe aisles in the store Marshalls, I feel head-over-heels in love!! I found these beautiful black high heeled shoes with floral print. At 5 inches tall, they clearly matched the definition of “high” heels! (Thank god I’m a heels goddess.) I have no idea what it is about floral prints, but I am always instantly attracted to them. It’s like my fashion magnet. I can spot them from across the store and a second later I’m in line buying them! Currently, my two favorite shirts are floral print. Okay, let’s just say, I’m totally obsessed! Now, I know not everyone loves floral prints like I do, but floral print shoes are a simple way to integrate the trend without feeling too overwhelmed by the bold print.

Here are my new shoes I’m dying over. When I have occasions where I have to wear all black, I slip these babies on and everyone takes notice! Love, love them :) Best of all, they were around $25! Can you say “fashion steal?” Yes!

You can find these shoes at Amazon.com for $24.98.


These shoes are also available in Taupe Multi Floral print. (Oh course they didn't have my size in this color!) Although I bought my shoes at Marshalls, you can find them online at sites like Amazon.com.

Amazon.com $26.98.


Other idea to add floral prints in a subtle way is by adding a floral print clutch/bag to your outfit. It’s surely a fun conversation starter!

Try out this adore MOLTZ clutch from ALDO at $35.00.


Sparkles (Glitter)
After watching the latest episode of the New York Housewives, I was reminded of just how much I loved fashion that sparkles! Yeah, it’s nothing new, but what a way to catch one’s eye. Whether it’s shoes, clothing or even nail polish…I’m all for it! It’s a way for women to shine like a star in their daily lives by standing out among the masses.

I think it can be overdone at times. I know I’m not the only one who has witnessed a girl out at a local bar or club who is covered in sparkles from head to toe. Fashion rule #344646: DON’T LOOK LIKE A DISCO BALL! It’s not cute. You look like a hot, shining mess! And it draws attention in the worst way possible.

Want to sparkle the right way? Try out these products!
