Shoe Porn

I just bought a pair of Jeffrey Campbell wedges last night and I can't wait for them to get here! Love them!! So I continued looking for some Jeffrey Campbell's  I would like to splurge on and I came across a bunch of great shoes and some that are just too crazy to not post/share with you!


Check out these shoes by United Nude:

Love the unique look of these sandals! I wonder how comfortable they would be?

Check out this other pair of sandals by the same brand:

How visually interesting are these?! I don't personally think I would wear this pair but they are still intricate and unique nonetheless.

As we all know, the color Coral is completely hot this season! I adore the color and it looks great when you have a great summer tan. These wedges are adorable and bold. I love them!

The brand is Messeca and they come in a lot of different colors!

In a past entry I had posted the Sam Edelman Lorissa spiked peep toe pumps and I recently came across a pair that is closed toe which I prefer! The style is called "Yuma"

Mary Janes gone "Crazy"? This style by Jeffrey Campbell is called "So Crazy" Love these !! Soo cute!

And last but not least, I had posted a while ago how every fashion blogger seems to own a pair of Jeffrey Campbell "Lita" shoes but being in New York I see them a lot and I see a lot of girls struggling to walk in them. They seem a bit uncomfortable and definitely not within my comfort zone. But I do like this pair of Jeffrey Campbell shoes called "Solvang":

They seem a bit more wearable and practical and I love the rivets and the wood and I particularly like the cuff.

They are on sale for $94.00 whereas they were originally $169.95! They come in black on black and black with the wood platform.

Beach Waves

So Summer is Here and what is better than no hassle beach hair? Nothing! Because I for one hate having to worry about straightening or curling my hair all the time in the summer. I love to have just an easy carefree look and it is one of the reasons that I really love summer because I feel like the tousled look is completely appropriate and acceptable for a daytime look or even a night out. I used to always use John Freida's Beach Blonde Waves. The product was unfortunately discontinued, which has left me clueless and stunned. You can still find a bottle from time to time on Ebay. I had bought a box of 5 when they first were discontinued and it ran me like $65 dollars when they were originally like $6 in drugstores. NOW on Ebay they are selling half a bottle for $$35 !!! Are you kidding me!?!? Then another one is full for $65!!! John Frieda needs to make this product again! I used to love it! The smell and it worked wonders without having to even use the hair dryer!


I have tried other products that claim to achieve the same look but they have all fallen short of the John Frieda product. I have tried Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray and it was quite pricey for the amount. It wasn't bad but not great.. I felt as though it made my hair feel dry.  It was about $20 something dollars too!

I also tried a few other products I don't feel like even listing because they too weren't great. I did however use John Frieda's Starlit Waves for Brunettes which was good but not as good as the Beach Blonde Spray. But it too was discontinued!?!?! WTF?! lol Can't win!

But one product I am dying to try is the Frederic Fekkai Marine Wave products:

Any input on this product? I really want to have an idea if its worth the $24.
Otherwise I may try this one that I have seen at Ulta stores:

I definitely need to find a product that works. I also want to get the ombre look done to my hair as well. Ahhh too bad I need to save money lol.

Wish List

So Lately I have been looking at swimwear. I am currently still on a long journey to my goal weight. I have lost some weight but I have not been strict enough with my diet and as of lately I have been slacking in the exercise department. But I am going to work out as soon as I finish this entry. Here are a few bathing suits I have my eye on for the end of summer. Because I think by August I will be somewhat comfortable with myself.

I adore this bikini top! I really want it. I am not too fond of the bottom however. I think I may opt for just a white bottom. The Top is only $18! And I want to buy this matching necklace made by Dogeared.

I really like this black bathing suit because of the ruched top and the fact that the bottom has full coverage in the back. Or at least that is what the description says lol.

Check out ^ This Unbelievably Gorgeous Bathing suit! I Love it, I just don't love the price tag! Haha

I also want this Haute and Naughty Lash mascara by MAC!! Anyone tried it yet?

Random:

Those who watch True Blood, I am loving Evan Rachel Wood's new look!

I love her new hair! It is a big change from her long locks but she pulls it off so well and I love the menswear look that female celebrities are wearing! What do you think? Yay or Nay?

Any recommendations for websites for swimwear too? I have checked Victoria's Secret but any other places?

Nail Art

Recently a friend of mine uploaded a pic of her nails and I was in love! She is the one who first introduced me to Sally Hansen Nail Effects. I asked her how she did her nails and she forwarded me to this great tutorial!

Check out how she transferred newspaper print to her nails here.

Donut Demise

Today was a pretty easy day. Did a few errands for a film fest we are catering later this week. But on our way to the sign maker we stopped at the Doughnut Plant for these delectable donuts! I first heard about the Doughnut Plant on a food show and wanted to try it! But never got around to it. One day I was in Dean and Deluca and saw a donut called Tres Leches. I bought it and then later realized it was made by the Doughnut Plant and I then was aware of all the hype! They are delicious! It is literally a bit of heaven in EVERY bite.

So today I went to Dean and Deluca and they were sold out so my Dad and I decided we should check out the actual location where this delectable donuts are being sold. So off to Grand Street we went!

 

The Line Was a Bit Long

 Check out these specials! Yummy!

 

Dad waiting inside patiently for his favorite donut!

 There it is! His Coconut Square Donut which is also filled with a coconut cream filling!

 Dad very happily posing with the donut he demolished in -2 seconds

 

And this ^ my friends is MY Favorite! The Tres Leches donut! Not too sweet and almost has a subtle note of saltiness that offsets the sweet glaze. This donut is cake-like but not too dense which I love! Its so soft and smooth and the best part is that it is filled with cream inside! You wouldn't expect that from a donut with a hole but its got filling! SOOO Good.

 

^This donut didn't stand a chance! I was going in for the kill!

 

Here is Me with a mouthful of yummy goodness. Please don't mind the fact that I look like a porker but I just couldn't contain myself. Not to mention I am currently on a diet and I definitely didn't just cheat on my diet, I had an all out passionate affair with this Tres Leches Donut. It was a moment of bliss and pleasure. Brief moment but a great moment nonetheless. Hmm reminds me of an ex. The brief part, not the pleasure Haha

 Me still chewing and realizing that this donut would be my demise. 

Take note that after these incredibly unflattering and incriminating photos were taken, I went home and worked my ass off because this wasn't the only donut I had. I had a half of a creme brulee donut which was amazing as well. A bit sweet but had the crunchy creme brulee top filled with a deliciously smooth creamy filling. Ahhh enough about sugary foods. I'm off to go do more crunches haha.

Creative Lighting

I was browsing Etsy and came across this Etsy store called "Yellow Square Love". They have the most amazing and innovative lights ever. I am an immediate fan! I for one love when people repurpose furniture or other things. I am hugely inspired by things that are not only creative but make for awesome conversation pieces. The lights in this store definitely make a statement.

Here are a few of my favorites:

Look at it here

This radio is too cool

I am loving this rustic tackle box.

 This record player is my ultimate fave! I adore it!
