One of my favorite pairs of shoes growing up was a super cute pair of black bow flats from Sam & Libby {which I am wearing in the picture below}. I was absolutely in LOVE with them and I wore them all the time. Sometimes I wish I had held on to that pair because it reminds me so much of my childhood. I loved the simplicity of it and the fact that they were adorned with adorable bows, which by the way, I am STILL a fan of.

 

You can imagine my excitement when I found out that one of my favorite shoe brands as a child has a collaboration with Target, another favorite of mine! Yes, Sam & Libby and Target have an affordable shoe line launching on May 5th. It's amazing when Target has a collaboration with just about anybody, but this will be simply awesome. And yesss...there will be bows! :)

Who'd ever thought I'd learn some fashion tips while I was in the shower. There I was, putting some Herbal Essence's conditioner in my hand, when I noticed a "Fashion Tip" on the back label. How random.


Tip #1: {conditioner bottle}
Make your fashion loves last long into seasons to come. Try storing handbags on a shelf instead of hanging to help keep the seams from stretching. 

Tip #2: {shampoo bottle}
Crumple up newspapers and stuff them in your unused boots to help them keep their shape.

With fall season upon us, scarves are a definite must-have. I've always worn my scarf one or two ways, never really knowing how to wear it the other different ways. I came across this wonderful how-to on Pinterest. I will definitely be trying these out. 

Kim Kardashian is an obvious fashionista. She's all about the style and the glam. I saw this picture of her and just fell in love with the outfit. It's simple and beautiful...and I LOVE her shoes! {currently on the search for a pair exactly like them!}

A girl can never have enough shoes, right? It seems like every fashion find I came across this week have been shoes. This post is dedicated to those beautiful shoes that I would love to have in my own closet. 

Tory Burch boots. Perfect!

I love the nude and black color combo on these.

I've been wanting a pair of shoes like these for a while. They're so pretty. 

I love how these sparkle. Very glamourous and sexy!

TOMS are the best shoes ever made, in my opinion. I want these to be my next pair. 

i really love my...

H&M cross body bag! 

I was never a fan of the cross body bags before but ever since I became a mom and having both hands free is sort of a requirement these days, they've come in really handy. Not only does this one carry everything I need, but it goes with anything I wear. 


Chinese Laundry wedges

I bought these while I was on a trip to Vegas a few months ago. They weren't on sale, but I just had to get them. Wedges have always been more comfortable for me as opposed to heels. The straps are easy on the feet and I can wear these all day!

My family and I spent the weekend in San Diego and just got back late last night. We attended my cousin's wedding (I love wedding season!). It was so nice to be down there...the weather was beautiful as always, we ate some good food, went to the beach and had a lot of fun with my cousins. It is nice to be back home, though...back to reality! :)

Speaking of weddings...I was on a hunt for a pair of glitter gold pumps not only for myself but also for my friend's wedding this weekend. I found some at a few places, but they were just too expensive for my "mommy budget". After searching and searching, I finally found a pair at an awesome price from gojane.com

glitter peep toe pumps

Super cheap! I even found a 20% off coupon so it was even cheaper than I expected! Now who doesn't love a good deal?
