So Far For Fall...

/

Before NYFW comes to an end and we refocus on the must-haves for Spring, we're going to get all the way into how Fall 2016 is taking shape. The catch phrase of the week is opulence and Fall'16 is that and so much more.

Not just in textures and detailing like, crushed velvet, huge studs, and luxurious leathers, but the overall mood and energy shouts quality over quantity and elegance. The shoe selection is one of sex appeal, playfulness, and form and function. I'm talking lace-up ruffle pumps as seen at Rodarte to front zip combat boots at Rag & Bone to completely studded out sandals at Alexander Wang, listen honey no one came here to play, everyone is showing out!

The selection was so good, I had to pull tooth and heel to decide which images to use, but these pretty much sum it up. Ladies and gents jaw dropping, statement fashion is back - so what will your shoes say about you?

P.S. Don't judge me if you see me checking for coins, swinging from poles, or doing the basketball teams homework; mama has got to get a few pair.

Hey lovas, Happy Monday! Hope you all had a marvelous weekend. I've been vying for Fall to hit the scene as I'm over the summer weather that never was! As temps steadily drop, sans the humidity from yesterday, my wishes are being granted and with that comes boot season. Short, tall, medium, slender, chunky, chained, buckles and straps, boot season is upon us and that means shopping time (well its always time to shop I mean who am I kidding)!

Here's a few boots, booties and the like on my 'these boots were made for walkin' wish list....

Chloe Ankle Boots (Howdy Cow Gurl). Shoe Damage: $1,345

Sergio Sexy Rossi Two Tone Ankle Stiletto Bootie. Shoe Damage: $860

 

Miu Miu Studded Platform Bootie. Shoe Damage: $1,250

Clearly, Chloe is doing the damn thang this season dominating this list.

Ciao bellas.

Walk Pretty!

Pre Fall Picks: Shoes

/

It's getting close to my favorite time of the year - FALL! Fall is my favorite season for a few reasons:

  1. Imposters are 'ousted' - let me explain further, anyone can look cute in the summer its fairly easy: get a cute maxi dress, a chic pair of sandals (which can be found even in the cheapest of locations for the season), a cool pair of shades, denim cutoffs, tshirts and you're good to go. 
  2. Real style divas please stand up - per the above, the stylish set really get to show up and show OUT
  3. Its my birthday which is more importante than ANY of the above - IJS

So without further ado, check out some of my pre fall pics I can't wait to get my hands on or rather my feet in....

Beauty Booty: The M.a.c Attack

/

I lost it. I completely just lost it. I went absolutely HAM in M.A.C the other day for no apparent reason at all! Within a 3 day span, I purchased a total of 6 lipsticks that are just to die for. Ladies, I will admit, I gave up the 'M.A.C crack' as a teenager and when I entered womanhood, I decided M.A.C was no longer my speed. I felt I needed to expand my makeup palette and explore other brands like NARS and Make Up Forever. But I digress...

Every now and again I'd stop by M.A.C to pick up the luscious Ruby Woo or Diva or Cyber and of course I tried to order something, anything from Rihanna's collection, but to no avail. 

Per usual, I convinced myself I needed some new lipstick so I decided to take a stroll to the MAC location on 125th. I went looking specifically for All Fired Up and left with two additional colors. In less than 3 days, I headed back to set location and embarked on some more lip goodness. 

Get ready to swoon....

All Fired Up and indeed you will be with this delicious red/pink matte lipstick. 

Flat Out Fabulous, enough said for this plum perfection.

Candy Yum Yum because you can never have enough yummy, vibrant pinks.

Sin, its nearly impossible NOT to do just that in this vampin vamp. Talk about summoning your inner vixen. Meooowww.

Smoked Purple reminds me of cyber, but with a bit less intensity. 

And last, but most certainly not least, is Heroine, the color thats on everyone's lipstick wish list because lovas its back and in full effect serving funky purple goodness that I can't wait to try. 

All these shades are matte which allows for more depth, definition and room to play with your look!

 

Here are some test strips for visual sakes. 

Happy Shopping!

Besos.
