Running in Heels♥: 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!

Try O.P.I’s DS Radiance or Glitzerland nail polish. Instantly make your nails stand out! Whenever I wear either of these two colors, I always get compliments. (I was so excited to see an advertisement in Elle’s July issue featuring O.P.I's sparkling products.)

Need a little something to spice up your outfit? Try glitter pumps! You can find them at all different price ranges. If you are looking for more economically friendly pumps, try Steve Madden. If you have some money to splurge on shoes, buy some Christian Louboutins.

Christian Louboutin's Bibi 140 glitter pumps $795

For those of you who aren’t fans of heels, but would rather sparkle in a wedge or flat you’re in luck! These Steven Madden shoes were made for summer.
