Grab Your Summer Sandals at FSJ Shoes!

Although it's not officially Summer yet, to me, Summer is here!  And what better way to jump into summer than with a few Summer fashion items!  Summer is one of my favorite seasons, mainly because it's time to break out those shorts, t-shirts and swim suits.  But, if you're like me, Summer is the perfect excuse to invest in some new shoes.

Not only am I a huge shoe lover, I absolutely love summer sandals.  Is it just me, but does it seem there are so many more options and styles when it comes to Summer shoes?  For me, personally, I love the wedge sandals...and also those cute flat sandals that has a little bling to them....and....okay, okay, I could go on and on, but you get my drift.

There is one online site that I found that has all the cute, fun and fashionable styles I've been looking for.  That site is fsjshoes.com.  Go on...go check them out...I'll wait.  This site has your Mary Janes, Sling backs, Flats, Pumps, Mules, T-Strap, Boots, Ankle Boots, Sandals and Ankle Strap shoes. The styles and design of their shoes are different than most I've seen.  They each have their own flair and personality...let's take a look at some of FSJ Summer sandals.

Silver Glitter Shoes - Ankle Strap Wedge

                          

Girl...What did I say about wedges and bling?  Just look at those shoes!!!  These shoes shouts romance, not to mention sparkle Diva!  These Silver Glitter shoes have a padded insole and smooth interior lining that brings comfort to your feet.  The wedge heels are approximately 3 inches in height.

Orange Lace Up Fringe Sandals

How cute are these!  You have the popular fringe (with a buckle) and the wrap around ankle detail.  These are perfect for those casual days when you want to dress up your feet a bit more.  Perfect as a beach sandal.  These also have the padded insole.

                                              Beige Wedge Lace Platform Wedge Sandals

You guys...These shoes scream Summer!  I am loving all the lace detail in these beige lace wedge shoes and that cute little tie on the side!  Not only do these shoes have the lace detail around the feet area, but they also have lace on the wedge!  How cute are these?!  I can see these being perfect for weddings!  They have a 5.5 inch heel, have a synthetic sole and feature a peep toe style.

                                        Navy Peep Toe Slingback Strappy Boot Sandals

Okay...you may not consider stiletto heels as a summer sandal, but come one...look at these!  These navy boot sandals come in several different colors and they have that summer vibe when you had that strappy effect around the ankle area and have that peep toe going on.  Look how perfect they go with jeans!  You get a padded insole for all day comfort, slingback style for ease and fit and a trendy suede bootie that can be worn with just about anything.

These many styles are just a hint of what FSJ Shoes has to offer.  Like I've mentioned above...they have shoes that range from simple flats to wedges and heels with extra bling.  Go check them out.  There are so many styles, colors and designs to choose from.

Sexy Finds at Femme Luxe Finery - Affordable Fashion

You guys already know I'm a huge fan of Femme Luxe Finery's clothes.  They are affordable, cute, sexy and somewhat casual at the same time.  You can find clothes for any special occasion or event (or even just lounging around) at Femme Luxe Finery.

I am going to have to confess one thing though...this last batch of cute clothes I was not able to wear, as much, as I have gained quite a bit of weight, so some of the pictures will feature the model, instead.  I am short; 5'2" and I now weigh around 167lbs.  That's a lot of weight for a short person and I can't just stretch it out from being tall.

With all that being said, I still love Femme Luxe Finery's clothes; I still want to try other sexy clothes they have, but I'm going to have to lose some of this weight!  Femme Luxe Finery's clothes are always comfortable.  The quality of the material is very well high quality and a lot of the clothes just seems to give more when I'm trying them on.

As I've mentioned before, Femme Luxe Finery is always having some sort of sale on their site, 50% - 80% off, and this is the time to snag up a few items.  Although most of the items I am wearing or showing you today are more for Fall or Winter, Summer is right upon us and Femme Luxe Finery has you covered.  

Check out these items that I received last week...

Grey High Neck Cropped Loungewear Set - Ella

I am in love with this two piece loungewear set...but it's not in love with my body!  This is a super comfy casual (or dressy) outfit that stretches so very comfortably.  The set is a knit fabric and although I CAN wear it, I'm no model and I have a stomach, hips, etc.  I can see myself wearing the knit leggings with a long dressy shirt, but the crop top...I'll leave that to the model!  The leggings are a high waist legging and the top has a high neck as well.  The top is actually a mid rif type turtle neck and would look so cute on someone smaller than me.

Sizes available:  S/M (8-10) & M/L (12-14)

Price: $29.00

Black Belted One Shoulder Jumpsuit - Evelyn

Ok...I was a little worried about this one, mainly because I don't look right in ANY KIND of jumpsuit, but I thought, "Hey...why not give it a try!"  I actually like this jumpsuit.  Yes, I do have a protruding stomach and no, it doesn't look like it does on the model, but all-in-all, it was very comfy as well, I love the whole, one shoulder thing and I can see myself wearing this when I lose that extra weight.  

The only thing about this jumpsuit...it doesn't have a zipper to where you can just unzip and slide into the jumpsuit (if it does...I didn't see it.)  I had to step inside the jumpsuit from the top and pull it up over me.  I was actually shocked to see the jumpsuit stretch to fit me....a big plus in my books!  The jumpsuit does have a matching tie belt, which you will not see in my photo, as I didn't want to appear any choppier and wanted to elongate my body as much as possible.

This jumpsuit is both body hugging and loose fitting at the same time. The top part down to the hip area is body hugging while the legs are on the more loose side.

Sizes available:  6,8,10 & 12

Price: $24.00

Grey Crop Jumper Loungewear Set - Deanna

Cute, cute, cute...but I cannot wear it.  Well...Okay, I can, but with a little bulge hanging out everywhere.  I have not worn a crop top since I was in my 20's, but this two piece lounge set is really my style.  It's sad, though, that I may only be wearing the pants of this set.  The lounge set features a cropped top that is long sleeve and a pant set that has slim fitting cuffed legs.  The drawstring that you see serves no purpose, as it does not tighten or loosen...it's just for looks.  I will have to say, the outfit, once again, is really soft and comfortable and would look great on someone similar to the looks of the model.

You can pair this set up with some sneakers and you are set to go!  

Sizes Available:  S/M (8-10) & M/L (12-14)

Price: $25.00

Khaki Stripe Hooded Crop Sweater Jumper - Gia

As you can see, the first photo of this khaki green hooded crop sweater is me and the second photo is the model.  I've said it plenty of times, but although this cute hooded crop sweater fit me with no problems, I was not going to show my fat rolls.  I wanted you to give you the whole picture of this cute top, by showing it on the model.  This crop top is very warm, very soft and somewhat thick.  You have the option of wearing it with leggings, jeans or even cropped biker shorts.  I love this crop hoodie...but not on me.  

Sizes Available: 6,8,10,12,&14

Price: $11.00

I want to get one thing straight.  When I say I don't like something on me or don't like how it looks on me, it's not because of Femme Luxe Finery.  It's because my body has extra weight, to me and in my opinion, I do not feel comfortable showing my body in it.  There are many plus size girls who have come to terms with their body; who loves their body and will show it off in all the hot, stylish clothes; but I, myself, have not gotten there yet.

Femme Luxe Finery has clothes for many occasions and events.  Every single piece of clothing that I have tried by Femme Luxe Finery, has been of utmost high quality material, stretches to fit without stretching out of shape and doesn't lose it's shape when washed.  I am a huge fan of Femme Luxe Finery's clothes and always will be.

When I was younger, I used to love to play, pretend. Pretend nurse, pretend mommy and pretend shopping.  It was fun 'pretending' to act and be someone I wanted to be or do.  Nowadays, there are tons of costumes, toys and items for children who want to do the same.

This toy cash register is by Funerica.  It has the sound effects of scanning, as well as sound of cash register buttons, simulated microphone and more.  This cash register packs a whole lot of fun for children playing supermarket!  

This toy set comes with the cash register, play ATM card, pretend cash and coins, hand held scanner, play carton of milk and a wallet.  Speak into the microphone and hear your voice echo.  Scan your carton of milk using the hand held scanner and listen to it beep.  It even has a cash drawer to store all your money that you've collected at the end of your supermarket day!

This is a cool, educational and interactive toy that your child will continue to love.  This toy is ideal for teaching your child how to count money, shop and identify colors.  Your child can learn math skills by interacting with this toy cash register, while still having fun shopping!

3MM CZ Diamong Bling Bling Stainless Steel Cross Pendant Necklace

I love jewelry- that's not secret- but I especially love jewelry that packs a lot of shine, sparkle and...BLING!  This pendant, shown here, is a 3MM cz diamond stainless steel cross pendant that comes with a free 36" bead chain, that can be cut, to your desired length.

After all these years, I never thought that this type of chain (beaded chain) could be cut!  Why hadn't I figured this out already?  I love that this small (but not too small) cross packs a lot of bling and shine.  Let me tell you, under my kitchen lights, this cross just sparkles!

This pendant is 17mm x 35mm in size and is perfect to wear anytime.  It has a stainless steel beaded chain that will not tarnish or turn colors and would make the perfect gift for those who love cross necklaces.

The necklace is available at: http://www.hiphopbling.com/3mm-cz-tennis-cross-bling-bling-stainless-steel.html.  The cross is high polished with a smooth back. I just love how this necklace looks when wearing it!  It came in a small black gift size box that has the words, hip hop bling.com across it.  Each piece (chain & pendant) was individually sealed in a small zip lock plastic jewelry bag.

Don't forget to check out hiphopbling.com for other pieces, similar to this.  They have a lot of bling bling jewelry that will definitely make a statement!

Hand Crafted Pink and Blue Dangle Silver Chain Fashion Earrings

I love jewelry!  My favorite pieces of jewelry would have to be earrings and bracelets...and watches (if you consider that jewelry!)  When it comes to earrings, I love pieces that are noticeable, but not TOO bold.  I love earrings that dangle, but are not so long that they reach my shoulders; earrings that have at least some silver accent or tone to them and earrings that I can wear everyday.

These awesome looking earrings are just that!  They are the perfect length dangle earrings, consisting of pink and blue beads, dangling from dainty silver chains.  They are so lightweight, that I can hardly tell I'm wearing them.  I love how the chains catch the light, while giving a hint of color with the beads.

These earrings are created by Cutey Kei Jewelry Etsy Shop and you will find many more earrings, similar to these, at Cutey Kei Jewelry.  These earrings are in Cutey Kei Jewelry's 'Bubble Pop' collection, that is inspired by Hyuna and her popular Korean song, "Bubble Pop."

All items in the 'Bubble Pop' collection can be mixed and matched up with other pieces in the collection, to give you a complete matched set.  There are other pieces in the 'Bubble Pop' collection that goes PERFECT with these earrings, such as; Pink Tassel Necklace and the Pink and Blue stretch bracelet.  Looking for a different style of pink and blue dangle earrings in the 'Bubble Pop' collection? Why not check out Cutey Kei Jewelry's Beaded Silver Hoop Earrings.  

What I love best is, this collection of earrings and jewelry is the perfect match to your denim and blue jean style clothing!  You have the mixture of blue and pink, two colors that pairs perfectly with blue jean attire!

Go check out Cutey Kei Jewelry Etsy Shop.  Cutey Kei has 14 items and I'm really diggin' the beaded tassel necklaces!

My Own Personalized Monogrammed Bracelet and How You Can Get Yours

Time and time again, when I am looking for something unique, different and at a very reasonable price, I always turn to Etsy.  By now, for those of you who are following my blog, you know how I am a big fan of Etsy and how I love to support Etsy sellers.

I can find just about anything I am interested in, by visiting the popular site and when it comes to beauty products and jewelry, this is my one-stop!  I love personalized and monogrammed items (Although, I have very little of it.) I am more of a monogrammed gal than I am having my full name on something. That is why I love this bracelet.

This bracelet shown here, is by TurpinKreations Etsy Shop.  It is a wire wrap type bracelet that features a round enamel disc and a round, clear crystal style accent bead.  The round enamel disc is approximately 1" and can be customized with either a black, pink, white or mint background. When it comes to the vinyl colors for your monogrammed initials, you have 36 colors to choose from!  That's a ton of options!

This bracelet is adjustable and squeezes back to it's original shape, once on your wrist.  It has a simple style, but packs a whole lot of personality.  I chose a black background with a Brimstone yellow monogram.  It looks so good and I love it! The monogram is perfectly centered onto the round disc and the letters are easily readable. As you can see from the color choices below, the Brimstone yellow is true to color that is on the bracelet I received.

I mean...how can you choose one color for the monogram!  I had such a difficult time, choosing what color background I wanted with all these monogrammed color choices!  Can you imagine the Soft Pink Vinyl monogram on black?  Or what about a brown on pink?  Oh, the options!

TurpinKreations Esty Shop has over 200 items in their shop, ranging from these bracelets to items geared towards Weddings, Law Enforcement, Christmas and more.  Go check out TurpinKreations to see all the cool monogrammed items they have!

The Hottest Trends in Summer Fashion Jewelry

What do you look for when it comes to Summer jewelry?  Do you like the simple and casual look or something more extravagant?  Maybe your a simple piece of jewelry gal, but break out the more extravagant pieces on date night. Whatever your style, both pieces are perfect for Summer.

Some of my favorites that I've seen lately are the chokers and lariat necklaces; match these up with the perfect pair of earrings and you are set to showcase the trendiest pieces for Summer 2017. Some of the pairings you can try include:

    *Hoop earrings with a matching choker necklace (as shown here and here)
    *Lariat necklaces with dangle earrings, like these & these.
    *Bar necklaces
    *Unique shaped rings (I love this ring!)

Jewelry that is unique, different and has a totally different take on style, that is what's going to be hot this year!  Sure, you can still wear your classic style jewelry, but have some fun this Summer...go bold and try your hand at some of the pieces, shown above.

You'll find tons of pieces, like those, at Wanderlust + Co.  I just love their style! Found a necklace you like?  I bet you can find the matching earrings at Wanderlust + Co.  This company seems to have it together when putting jewelry together.

What is your Style?  Simple. Bold. Classic?  I would love to know!

Get Your Bronze On! - Bronze Beauty Shimmering Stamped Lotion Bar

I love finding new beauty items!  Beauty items that are different, unique and those that were hand created by Etsy sellers!  There are so many different beauty items available on Etsy, that I could just go on and on, reading and wondering about each one.

Now that summer is upon us (and I still have yet to get a tan), it's no wonder that I happened upon this great bronzing bar!  I will have to admit...I'm a bit pasty white, so getting at least a little color, is important to me, especially since my vacation is coming up in July!

This Bronze Beauty Shimmering Stamped Lotion Bar is just that.  It's a bronzer in an aluminum tin, that is beautifully stamped with a nice design.  The Bronze Beauty Shimmering Lotion Bar gives you this slight golden bronze tint, that also leaves your skin feeling soft.  

These lotion bars are made with Organic Coconut Oil (good for your skin), Organic Shea Butter, Organic Beeswax, Organic Vitamin E and Organic Gold and Bronze Mica Mineral Powder.  The bars are infused with three organic skin loving essentials that include: Lavender, Rose and Orange.

I absolutely love how this feels, going on.  It's really smooth to the touch, easy to apply and I even applied a little to my face, to give me that sun-kissed look! I hate going without makeup, especially since my face is ghost white.  I took this little gem with me, this weekend, as we decided to go on a camping trip. I may not have taken any makeup, but this Bronze Beauty Shimmering Stamped Lotion Bar gave me just enough color I needed.

This Bronze Beauty Shimmering Stamped Lotion Bar is available on Etsy and sold by Organiques.  Organiques has 38 items that range from Spa & Relaxation, Lotions to DIY Kits.  You will find Bath and Body products, Lip Scrubs and more...all organic!  Baili Duprey is the owner of Organiques Etsy Shop and just by looking through her shop, there are TONS of beauty products I would love to try!  I love how the bath salts and spa items are so nicely wrapped and presented....ready to give as a gift, it desired.

Round Silver Scrolled Filigree #Earrings - A Perfect #Accessory to Any Outfit

What is it about silver jewelry?  It just seems like, every time I grab a pair of earrings to wear, it's always silver!  I mean, silver goes with EVERYTHING! I can wear them with black, white, gray, blue....ANYTHING!  So...I guess that is why I fell in love with these silver scrolled filigree earrings by AndesBeads on Etsy.

First of all, if you've been following me, you know I'm a big fan and supporter of Etsy.  There are thousands of Etsy sellers that are trying to make a living or maybe a little secondary income from their shops.  I praise these Etsy sellers, as I personally know, selling on Etsy can be hard.  That is why I love working with Etsy sellers.

These beautiful silver earrings are by AndesBeads.  They are so intricately detailed with filigree like scrolls throughout the earrings.  They are not large, but not too small.  For me, they are the perfect size!  These earrings are very lightweight and they move freely every time I wear them.  The drop length is about 1.5 inches with surgically steel ear wires.  

They are simple, yet beautiful and I love the way they feel when I wear them. Being that they are silver, they catch the light and seem to catch the eye! The best thing about these earrings...they also come in gold!  So, why not grab both sets!  

AndesBeads has 93 items in her Etsy shop.  There, you will find beautifully crafted earrings that are different and unique.  I've seen her earrings and they are all so very unique looking, yet so enticing and interesting.  You have to check out her Etsy shop to see what I'm talking about.

I have worn these silver scrolled filigree earrings for THREE days, straight in a row!  Hey, I can't help it...I love them and they have become my favorite pair of earrings!

What are your favorite earrings?  Which earrings are your favorite from AndesBeads on Etsy?
