The 2010 Couture Show has come and gone, and once again there are quite a few looks that have caused some excitement (and not just for me!) Here are some really fantastic (and some not so great) trends to look out for in the next few months from the 2010 Couture Show!!
First up…
ARMANI PRIVE




These are pretty nice. Nothing that really wows me, but I do like them all.
Next on the list:
CHANEL




When I look at the first photo, I immediately think 1950’s Barbie meets Lady Gaga. It’s an interesting combination. As for the shoes, I really love the heel detail but I can’t help but think that overall the shoes look kind of cheap. I am really hoping that one of these days the super ornate heel trend will catch on in the affordable shoe market!
Onto one of my favorites:
CHRISTIAN DIOR






I absolutely love the equestrian influences here! And I always love a good ballgown. This was the showstopper in my book.
GIVENCHY





I am loving the t-strap bootie and desperately want a pair for myself!
JOHN PAUL GAULTIER





I’m surprised to say that I actually really enjoy the Avatar inspired collection here.
Those shoes with that purse on the top are definitely on my outfit wish list
And lastly…
VALENTINO



The first shoe is a little too mummy-ish to me, but the other two are pretty awesome. The cut-out and pieced together look is a lot of fun.
What are your thoughts?

So I just found out about ShoeDazzle at work yesterday. Basically, you subscribe through their website and describe your style to them. It costs $40 a month and they send you a pair of shoes each month TO KEEP according to your specifications. If you don’t see any shoes you like, you can skip a month and get two for the following month. I’m just now about to try it out, so I’ll be sure to update when I get my first pair!
Here’s the website:
http://www.shoedazzle.com/
These are some of the shoes you can get. All for $40!

Well Payless.com has FINALLY got SOMETHING on their website from Christian Siriano. But, it’s not much


This picture gets me all excited!
But then, I click on the link…and that’s actually the only shoe of his that is for sale.

Christian Siriano for Payless Slither Boot
$49.99
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great bootie, but if you recall from an older post of mine, here’s what we’re waiting for:

I really want the blue pumps!!!
And is it weird that I like the pumps with the spikes?
I guess we’ll just have to keep waiting…

This is a continuation of the Emma Stone/Zombieland post…
Of course I had to get the jacket!!!
I also wanted something reasonable. I don’t have a lot of money to spend, so I did some research. Surprisingly my search ended at Express of all places! I found this great faux leather jacket that was tough but cute at the same time:


I actually removed the belt to make it look a little less cute. This jacket was originally $98.00, but I was lucky enough to catch a 30% Off Storewide Clearance and snatched this jacket for $60.00!!!
And, I know some of you were wondering about the boots I got from Charlotte Russe:

Well I LOVE THEM! They are SO comfortable and jazz up any outfit. I hope Charlotte Russe gets some more in, because I highly recommend them! Let me know if you have found any other bargain boots that turned out surprisingly well!
So, to complete this look, I HAD to get some V-Neck t-shirts…
Which fortunately Forever 21 also had SUPER CHEAP!

I got these in pretty much every color (including the heathered and solid colors) all for $3.50-$4.50!
While I was in Forever 21, I found another great jacket that I just couldn’t pass up. And fortunately I have a pair of brown leather boots with a chunky heel that go absolutely great with it.


I got this awesome faux leather jacket for $34.80!
That’s TWO jackets for UNDER $100!!!
I am looking forward to wearing these all winter!

Hi everyone!! It’s been awhile but I just HAD to talk about how amazing Emma Stone’s boots are in Zombieland!! I just saw the movie yesterday and loved it, and all day today all I can think about is how much I WANT THOSE BOOTS!!!

Sooo….here’s the hunt for an afforable pair for myself

Madden Girl Ivorry Wedge Boot
found at DSW for $59.95
close…but not quite…


Merona Kallista Riding Boots
found at Target for $39.99
Now these are better…

Crinkle Flat Boots
found at Charlotte Russe for $34.99
I think I like these the best!!
What do you think? Let me know!!
UPDATE
So I was just informed by a reader that Charlotte Russe has sold out of the Crinkle Flat Boots as of today. Fortunately I ordered my pair last night (my size was the only one left) and I am anxiously waiting their arrival at my doorstep!!! But for those of you who are still looking for that great ‘Wichita’ boot, I’ve got some more additions…
I’ll start off with the more expensive ones and work my way down to a more affordable price range…

Unisa Riri Boot
found at Piperlime.com for $99
It’s ok…but I’m not excited.

Aerosoles Ride Line
found at Piperlime.com for $89
I must say I’m very impressed with Aerosoles…didn’t think they had it in them to make a boot like this! It definitely has more hardware than Emma Stone’s but they’re still a very close match.
Chaps Caleigh Tall Boots, Kohls
originally $99.99, ON SALE FOR $69.99
Now these are a good match! A litte more expensive than the ones at Charlotte Russe, but I think it’s still a pretty good deal!!
So now I start the hunt for a great jacket….
I think my Halloween costume is covered this year

Every girl needs some basic but stylish flip flops. Don’t get me wrong, I love my heels and wear them every day.

For those cases, here are some fantastic deals from Old Navy. They’re super cute too!!

Women’s Beaded Keyhole Sandals, $8.00
These come in yellow, white, brown, blue, pink, and black.

These come in yellow, green, pink, brown, and black.

Women’s Faux-Patent Thong Sandals, $15.00
These come in silver.
And for some wedges…
I’m not a big fan of espadrilles, but these are actually pretty cute:
