Mayli Ruffle Tube Mini Dress
Color: Hot House (more colors available)
Retail Price: $118
Lovinng this dress by Guess by Marciano in a vibrant color that can be dressed up or dressed down. And it has ruffles! The tricky thing about a ruffled dress is that it can make you look enormous. However, I do have one that fits nicely so its one of those styles where you won’t know if the fit will be flattering until you try it on.
Fashionable Kissez,

Sam Edelman
Quintessa
Color: Saddle (also available in Black)
Retail Price: $189
I visited the Sam Edelman section of Zappos this weekend and these babies have been stuck in my head. I love the unique combination of the snake print, the warm brown leather, and the beading. The zipper on the back gives it some extra sex appeal. The heel is 4 1/2″ high but don’t cringe yet because you get a little relief from its 3/4″ platform. They are sold out in my size (size 8 if the Sam Edelman folks are watching ha ha) so they will remain in my head.

House of Harlow 1960
Abalone Station Necklace
Color: Multi (more colors available)
Retail Price: $150
The first musing of the new year! I have been MIA from my blog, but trust me I am still stalking my favorite online shops and obsessing over those special pieces I would love to have (in my dreams at least ha ha ha). My latest victim is this aztec inspired House of Harlow necklace. The black version has been on my wish list for months but I am really digging its colorful sister. This piece would add some spice to any outfit, and with that price tag it had better add some spice for many years to come.

Steve Madden
TOPAZZ
Color: Red Suede
Retail Price: $99.95
I’ve been musing about these pumps on the Steve Madden website. As you know I am obsessed with the brand. No joke. My friends don’t even ask me where I get my shoes from anymore. They already know ha ha ha. But how hot are these pumps? These babies can take any outfit to the next level. Its been a rough year. We could all use a little fire, sparkle, and shine.
Check out those red TOPAZZ pictured above. I love a good ruffle. They add a little flirtiness to these sexy shoes. Perfection with skinny jeans or a little black dress just to name two.

Rihanna
I need to recreate this ripped jean-fishnet-ankle boots look now! Rihanna was spotted in New York City this week in this rocker outfit. She is wearing boyfriend jeans but I’m thinking about getting a pair of ripped skinny jeans in my version of the look.
These ankle boots I’ve been eyeing would work well with this ensemble. I can’t decide which pair I like more: (more…)

Guess by Marciano
Kate Sequin Dress
Color: Black (more colors available)
Retail Price: $178
It’s not a party until someone is wearing sequin! I love this little black dress because it is like wearing a skirt and a top but you don’t have to worry about the top not being perfectly tucked. Love the little tie that accentuates the waist. Throw on some black patent leather pumps and clutch. Complete the look with a minimal amount of silver accessories and you are good to go.

Note: Doing wish lists keeps me from buying things. Isn’t that odd? It’s like therapy for my shopaholic ways ha ha ha. That is what lead to musing of the day…

President Barack Obama Accepting Nobel Prize @ Press Conference
When one door closes another door opens. Just when critics were saying that Obama might have lost his mystique when Chicago lost the 2012 Olympic bid even after making an appearance in Copenhagen, the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee awarded him the Nobel Peace Prize. This morning President Obama gave his accepting speech at a press conference from the White House and he shut the haters down by saying that he felt like he did not deserve to be in the company of other recipients of the award. Obama is the youngest president to receive the award and many say he has not done enough to be given such an honor. He is not delusional and accepted the award as a “call to action.”
That’s right haters, he’s not acting like he doesn’t know. The swag is back! We didn’t want the 2012 Olympics in Chi Town anyway. Rio deserves it and can have it. We have an economy to recover.

Solange
Solange looks fabulous in the photographs for an interview with Honey Magazine. Solange is as fearless with her makeup as she is with her style. Not afraid to try different things, she pulls off the black lipstick beautifully. Fresh off my MAC Style Black Collection haul I wanted to show you that even though I am not brave enough to go there, black lipstick can be worn well.
Side note: those Cesare Paciotti boots are killer. Musing of the Day!
Charles Wade did the fierce styling in these photos. And celebrity makeup artist Jackie Gomez did the makeup that is worth heading over to the article to check out the rest of her looks.

The Queenie
How hot are these peep toe ankle boots? I went over to the Sam Edelman website to investigate after Kim Kardashian tweeted a picture of her rocking these boots. These babies won’t be available in stores until November, but I’ll be daydreaming about the gunmetal booties until they hit the shelves.
