Valentine's Day Red Challenge-Day #4

Today's outfit
Red turtleneck - Fashion Bug
White floral cardigan - Macys
Studded Jeans - Macys

This was the outfit I wore while running a few errands. I had to get out of the house, but ofcourse there was not really anywhere to go. So hubby and I just went to the market to grab a few things.

This was the first snow.... on February 5, 2010

And this was the second snow, yesterday (2/10/10).... its just to much!

This Is IT!

.. and not the Michael Jackson version.

This is it.. my blog layout for right now. Hubby is a genius when it comes to technology and all things gadgety (lol). He was able to fix the issue I was having last night with the nav bar and I was sooooo excited. And then this morning as I was reading the daily dashboard, I asked fellow fashion blogger Texas Love, Life and Fashion, how do I get the three column layout? I figured it out.. and wowsers!!! I was so excited. But I figured that I had spent so much time on this one last night... (adding music and my own pic), I will just have to keep it for awhile. And change to the three column, maybe around my birthday time. We'll see!

In the meantime, this is it... my new blog layout! Do u likey? and what do u think of the muuuuusik! click through the player.. there are other good songs, and I will be adding more, so come back.. okay?.. ok!

Oh... fashion pics (and weather pics) later today... stay tuned...
I took some great morning pics of the snow in my neighborhood... two blizzards in one week... craaaazy!

Front and Back - Valentine's Day Red Challenge-Day #3

Today's outfit
Red button up shirt - Lane Bryant
Black sweater vest - Express Men
Jean skirt with the cutest kick-pleat in back - Fashion Bug
Black tights - ?
Booties - Nine West

Yup, you guessed it... I'm still snowed in.. But i thought i would still get dressed and wear my red today. This is the same skirt that I wore on this post. Last time I wore it, I wanted to show the kick-pleat in the back, its such a cute detail.

Hubby took these pics, and he was happy to be the human tripod on this day! lol

Still snowed in ...Valentine's Day Red Challenge-Day #2

Well I guess I will be doing in home fashion shows all this week. I am still home in the snow, so no work today either. But I did get dressed just for the challenge. I figure, hey, I have picked out all these outfits, I may as well wear them. My sister thinks I'm crazy for getting dressed when I'm snowed in.. but its fun, so I told her to leave me alone.
Today's outfit
Red dolman sleeve shirt - Macys
Black ruffle skirt - Fashion Bug (this is a reaaallly bad pic of this skirt, which has the cutest ruffle detail. See pic below)

Black patent slingback pumps - Macys (I never really wear these often cuz the sling back never stays up.. but they look cute)
Pearl necklace and flower brooch - Ashley Stewart

My Review of "Kayleigh" side-buckle wide calf boots by Step Up Comfort

Originally submitted at WomanWithin

Side-buckle boots are tall, leg flattering...and oh so comfortable! The best fit & price in wide calf boots.

  • two side buckles with pleat, full inside zip, cushioned sock
  • 1&q...

Not as wide as I had expected

By Heiress from Baltimore, MD on 2/9/2010

2out of 5

Sizing: Feels half size too big

Width: Feels too narrow

Pros: Stylish

Cons: Too Stiff

Best Uses: Travel, Going Out, Work, Casual Wear

Describe Yourself: High-end shopper, Trendy, Stylish

I bought these boots because I thought that I could incorporate them into the new style of putting your boots into your jeans. But the calf was to small. I thought they were wide calf boots, but they were a little ill fitting. The calf was slightly wider, but not wide enough to tuck your jeans in. Also, since the calf was wider, they made he ankle wider too, but for me ankle was not the issue, so the boots were to wide at the ankle, so the boots sagged and were uncomfortable.
