Nude booties



Baha, what a great title for this post... a nude booty, like we all don't have those?! Well I guess I am talking about another nude booty, the ones we don't have yet (but love to get) I am all about the nude booties this spring, its hard to not be into them anyways, because so many amazing nude booties are coming our way! I like to pair nude booties with distressed and faded jeans or jean shorts, like many, because it gives this carefree, somewhat retro, vibe and it looks effortless. But I am also beginning to love to pair nude booties with florals. Florals are big this season, especially dresses. Gosh florals and booties, even more retro-flower child! Just don't put a flower in your hair; shit; I cannot believe I just did a play on words with the Scott McKenzie song. But really there was truth to that... no flower crowns.. I don't care what NastyGal says; its tacky and over embraced (which it shouldn't be in my opinion) Really though, stay away from the flower crowns; no exceptions Coachella goers, no exceptions.

Sorry about that, but it was necessary; sometimes I just need to let my readers know that putting a crown of fake flowers on your head is not fab--unless you are in Godspell. Anyways,  I'd like to see everyone try their nude booties with a pretty floral sun dress, let their hair run wild; and just be free this spring and embrace great weather, and beautiful fashion! 

Here are my favorite nude booties (so far)

The Ultimate Nude Booty/ The Ultimate Splurge 
Chloe "Suzanne" Stud Buckle Bootie
These are just unbelievable... with an also unbelievable price. Well hey, a girl can dream, cant she?!



Jeffrey Campbell 
Isley Ankle Boot
(okay, so I started off with the coolest pairs of shoes around; so not all booties are gonna be as amazing as the Chloe ones. However, the rest are great and affordable; I mean I did pick them, they are all going to be highly ranked on my list!) I love, love, love these.

The Retro Sunglasses



Retro is back, as noted in my pervious post about Tory Burch's new SS collection. It seems as though many designers and fashionistas are jumping on the Retro band wagon and finding their favorite retro picks for the season. You don't need to go all out with this retro trend though, I am finding the easiest and most subtle way to embrace this trend is through sunglasses. They are easy, inexpensive and it won't look like you just teleported yourself off of the Brady Bunch, or Charlie's Angels set. Retro sunglasses bring this carefree and fun vibe to your outfit with out trying to hard, and they still seem to work with every outfit as regular sunglasses do anyways. I mean lets be honest here, we all have a pair of wayfayers they are so retro. So it is time to cast the wayfarers aside and step out of your comfort level and find the latest and greatest retro glasses. I am loving the colorful ones; they look great with bikinis! Here are my picks to embrace the retro sunglasses trend!

Apologies

Hello readers!
Sorry I have not updated my blog recently; I was instructed to take some time away from my computer due to shoulder and back issues! I am finally recovering and will have many new posts up soon!

In the meantime enjoy the best picture taken at the Grammys. Ohhhhh Ellen, why are you so damn funny!?




Katie Perry obviously didn't read my post about seafoam; being the accent color, not the full outfit. Yikes, that dress is not working out for her.
