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.

Hotter Shoes - Comfort For The Sole

When it comes to shoes, comfort is the key and priority in my shoes.  I love shoes that are not just fashionable and stylish, but shoes that are casual and comfortable for every day wear; shoes that are KNOWN to be comfortable and have a long wearing time.

Hotter Shoes has a wide range of styles to choose from, but their hottest and best sellers are the Jewel, Nirvana and Shake shoes.  Each of these shoes has their own unique style.


                                                    JEWEL

These shoes have to be one of the most comfortable shoes I've worn. They have just the right amount of cushion, that allows me to wear them all day long, without having to take them off.  These Jewel shoes are available in irresistible seasonal shades and prints (I chose the grey floral).  They are a flexible flat ballerina style shoe that compliments a whole variety of styles and is finished with a cute and pretty soft knot bow.


                                                      JEWEL

The Nirvana shoe is a pretty and stylish, Hotter Original that features a neat, elasticated T-bar strap design with an individually hand-carved coconut button, a luxuriously cushioned collar and leather insole. Lightweight, flexible and ultra-feminine, Nirvana is a beautiful everyday style that transcends seasons.

                                                                 NIRVANA

The Shake shoe is styled for ultimate comfort, with its premium leather, nubuck and textile uppers in a whole host of stunning colors and prints, cushioned insoles and plaited touch-close strap, it's easy to see why Hotter Original Shake is one of Hotter's best-selling casual styles. Flexible, lightweight and supremely versatile, Shake is a year-round favorite that can be styled with a range of both casual and more formal outfits.



                                                    SHAKE

Homemade Body Spray Spritzers - Peppermint Lavender & Lemon Zinger by The Salvy Blossom

Who loves body sprays as much as I do? I absolutely love the body sprays. They are a little lighter in scent compared to perfumes and you get an inviting and wonderful scent by spraying, not only on your wrists, but your whole body, hair and clothes.  I bet I go through a bottle of body spray a month, if not sooner. That's just how much I use them.  I don't know if I've ever come across a scent I didn't like, but I normally tend to stick to those that are Vanilla & Brown Sugar, Fruity or an uplifting scent.

Did you know, that there are many Etsy sellers that make their own body sprays/spritzers?  I was curious as to how these smelled compared to the ones I buy in the store.  Let me tell you, the ones I've tried from Etsy smell just as wonderful, if not better!  One of the scents I've tried, was the Peppermint Lavender by The Salvy Blossom Etsy Shop.

You can definitely smell the peppermint and a hint of lavender in this body spray.  The peppermint scent is known to help uplift your mood and is great if you have a cold.  Lavender scent is known to help relax and calm you. Put both these scents together and you have an invigorating clean scent that just makes me happy!  It's not over powering, but I can definitely smell this body spray, once sprayed.

The next body spray by The Salvy Blossom is the Lemon Zinger.  I just love this name!  This is a full blown lemon scent that also has an uplifting and inviting scent.  It has a citrusy, bright scent that is light.  The essential oils that you will find in this Lemon Zinger are Lemon, Litsea, Distilled Water and alcohol.  The Lemon and Litsea, are both to be known to be uplifting and Bright.

Both body sprays come in a 4 oz bottle that when sprayed, come out in a light mist, so you don't have to worry about wasting any, when spraying.  Jennie Duhn is the owner of The Salvy Blossom Etsy Shop and has 114 items in her shop, ranging from body sprays, lip balms, salves and more!  Go check her out and see all the unique items she has.  I love the whole packaging of The Salvy Blossom's products...nice, clean and eye catching.

Happy Trunks - The Most Comfortable Pants You'll Ever Wear

Look!  I used to be a jeans person.  I mean, every chance I got to wear jeans on a Friday, at work, I did.  They were my first choice when going out on the weekend.  Well...after a few pounds gained, and investing in my first pair of jeggings...that all changed!  I guess you can say, as I get older, I yearn more for comfort.  I hate anything tight on my stomach, hips, etc, so that is why I was so thrilled when I experienced my first pair of harem pants by Happy Trunks!

These have got to be the most airy, lightweight, and comfortable pants I've ever worn!  They even win out over my jeggings!  The wide waistband is very stretchy and ultra comfortable.  There is no tightness, what-so-ever.  The pants are loose, baggy and has an elastic near the ankle.  They are thin pants that can be worn even during the summer time and that is why I plan on taking these babies with me to the beach, when I go on vacation to Florida this July.

Happy Trunks has several different colors and designs to choose from, ranging in sizes small to large. I chose the large, as I wanted to make sure they fit and that they were comfy.  I am pretty sure I could have went with a medium, after trying these on, but these large fit just nicely, due to the waist band.  The design I chose was the Black Zig Zag Harem Pants, that features Gray elephants and gray designs on a black pant. SUPER CUTE!

You can check out these pants, and others, by visiting Happy Trunks.  You will find White Peacock, White Honeycomb, Black Peacock and many more!

Get That Sunkissed and Highlighted Look with Mattify Cosmetics

Summer is right upon us and many of us women will be trying to get that sun kissed glow on.  Summer is also the season, where many of us will be attending summer yard parties, special events, etc and we want to look and feel our best.

I love learning and experimenting with all the new makeup products when I find out about them.  Some of the makeup tricks have already been out there, it's just I haven't known about them unless I've stumbled upon a celebrity who knows these tricks.

One of the things that has become very popular (if it already wasn't) is strobing, aka, highlighting your face.  Highlighting is a technique that is used when you want to bring out your cheekbones, make your lips appear a little bigger or just accentuating certain parts of your face.  It gives you this glow.

Mattify Cosmetics has this strobing highlighter that gives a natural glow to your complexion. When you brush on Mattify's Strobing Highlighter in the areas marked white, you are brightening areas of your face where shadows tend to land, making your face look dull. Highlighting these key areas will brighten those areas, giving you a brighter complexion.

Strobing is a hot and popular trend right now and it seems even the celebrities knows something about this, maybe before we did. They have makeup artists that knows the ins and outs of how to use makeup to its full advantage.

Mattify Cosmetics Strobing Highlighter comes in a 30g sifter jar and a little of this gem goes a long way!  You can connect and learn more about Mattify Cosmetics by visiting their links below!

Short Tusk Necklace - Perfect for #Beach Wear and #Summer

There are just some jewelry, that you know, that screams summer and beach; Jewelry that has an Earth tone, natural colors, that goes well with just about anything you wear.  

It seems like everywhere I turn, one particular style of jewelry is, or has, become very popular and trendy, and that is the tusk necklace.  A tusk necklace usually features a tusk, which is the focal point of the necklace and is usually paired up with matching or corresponding beads.  

This necklace shown here, is a short tusk necklace, created by SoCalKnotty on Etsy.  It is a Bohemian Inspired piece of jewelry that features a gorgeous tusk and adorned with matching wood beads.  The necklace is very lightweight and easily slips over your head, without having to unclasp it due to it being 22" long.

The necklace is so beautifully handcrafted by Anna, who is the owner of SoCalKnotty on Etsy and the most fabulous thing is...this necklace comes in three different colors!  The one I chose is of Natural white color, but you can also choose from Dark Brown and Light Brown.  The beads are so smooth and perfectly round and each tusk may vary with each necklace.

SoCalKnotty has a wide range of jewelry.  You will find over 200 items at her Etsy store, ranging from Tassel Necklaces, Tassel Earrings, Tusk Necklaces, Beaded Necklaces and much, much more! All of these styles are very popular today.  I see a lot of people wearing the tassel necklaces as well as the tusk necklace.  So sheek, Bohemian and perfect beach jewelry!

Women's Brown Rhinestone Studded Wedge Flip Flop Sandals- #Summer is almost here!

Spring and Summer will be here before you know it, and I can't tell you just how excited I am!  I always look forward to the warmer weather, when it's sunny, warm wind and to break out my flip flops!

Living in the South, flip flops, shorts and tank tops are a big thing...especially when it comes to comfort.  I usually start wearing my flip flops when temps start to reach the 60's...like right now, and it's only the end of February!

Anywho, these flip flops shown here, are by icandy fashions, on Ebay.  I ABSOLUTELY LOVE wedge platform type flip flops.  For some reason, I seem to be able to walk better in something with a little heel, but also that is cushioned and comfortable.

These sandals are all blinged out with rhinestones and studs...LOVE!  These sandals are available in other colors as well, such as white, brown (shown here) and red, with other similar sandals, just like these, but with different designed rhinestones and styles.  icandyfashions has tons of these flip flops and it's hard to choose just one pair!

They have an almost Western look to them and they are so comfortable.  The wedge part of the sandal seems durable and does not give way or sink, as I walk in them...like some wedge sandals I have.  They are fashionable, sheek and so cool looking!  

If you want to dress up a pair of jeans, but don't want to wear just ordinary flip flops or shoes, you have got to grab you a pair of these!  They are dressy and perfect for pairing up with jeans...not to mention those shorts!

And let me tell ya...these sandals looks so much blinged out in person!  The photos don't really do them justice.

Check out icandyfashions on Ebay.  There, I'm sure you will find a pair of flip flops (and other items) that you just gotta have!

Messic Women's Short Sleeve Fashion V-Neck Pleated Tunic Top

I love a comfortable, yet flattering, summer blouse.  A blouse that is lightweight and cool, yet fashionable.  I've had the privilege of trying several blouses by Messic and every blouse, so far, has been so comfortable and very flattering.

The blouse shown here, is the Women's Short Sleeve Fashion V-Neck Pleated Front Tunic Blouse.  This blouse is available in several color options: Light Blue, Black, Pink and Wine.  The one shown here is a green color, that once was offered by Messic.

The top has a pleated front, allowing this blouse to flow loose and free to give a more flattering look.  I love the v-neck on this blouse.  It's not a deep cut v-neck, but cut low enough to give comfort when wearing it.  The blouse consist of 95% polyester and 5% spandex, allowing some stretch to this blouse when wearing it.  Even the sleeves on this v-neck blouse has some stretch and does not feel constricting on my arms.

The women's short sleeve fashion v-neck tunic blouse feels so light.  The material feels thin, but it's not too thin that you can see through it.   It feels so soft and silky.  I love shirts like these!  I know when I receive a shirt from Messic, that's it's not only going to be comfortable, but also fit.  Every part of this shirt fits in all the right areas.  The Messic's shirts that I have received are all very well made and are all very flattering to my body.

You can purchase your Messic's Short Sleeve Fashion V-Neck Pleated Front Blouse HERE!

Messic Women's Short Sleeve Pleated Floral Tunic Shirt

I love tunic tops.  Tunic tops, for me, are just so much more comfortable than any piece of clothing I have...besides T-shirts, and I can't very well wear t-shirts to work!  I love how most of them are loose, summery and flatters any body shape or figure.

The tunic top shown here, is sold by Messic, on Amazon.  I have become a big fan of Messic, as this is the second blouse I've received from them and both have fit perfectly!  This has a white floral design, almost a paisley print on a red blouse.  This shirt is a Large and comes is sizes medium - XXL.  It also comes in several color options: Beige, Black, Blue and Red.

It has a flattering drapery look to the shirt, due to the pleated front.  The drape in the front of the blouse gives this shirt a slimming look and has a generous amount of pleated draping.  The Short Sleeve Pleated Front Floral Tunic Shirt reaches my hips, so it covers the areas I want to 'hide!'  The fabric is 90% polyester and 10% Spandex.  You can tell this shirt has a generous amount of spandex, due to the stretchiness of it!

I love how this shirt feels, when worn.  It's soft, stretchy and so comfortable. It has an inner lining, that is also stretchy, so the shirt, although is a thin material, is not see through.  I love the whole look of this shirt.  It goes well with my shorts as well as a shirt I can wear to work, paired with my leggings or a long skirt.

Check out Messic, on Amazon, for not only this shirt, but other items they may have.  I am a big fan of Messic's clothing as they size and fit is true to size!

Cute Handmade Summer Delight Full Bodied Apron by Fadiddles on Etsy

I can't tell you how many t-shirts, tops and even pants, that I have ruined, all because I did not have an apron to protect my clothes.  Most of my cooking is done on Sunday, when I don't have to work and it never fails, there is always oil that will splatter onto my shirt!  ALWAYS!

Why in the world I hadn't bought a apron is beyond me, but I was thrilled to get the chance to review, not only an apron, but a handmade apron to my liking, by Fadiddles.  Fadiddles is an Etsy store, run by Rachel Marcussen.  She creates custom made apron from scratch fabrics and materials she has on hand and I can honestly say, this is a very unique piece!

This apron is called the Summer Delight Full Bodied Apron and right now, it is currently unavailable.  Although this apron is currently unavailable, Fadiddles has another apron that is...the Zig Zag and Pom Poms full bodied apron.  If you are looking for a specific theme or color, give Rachel a shout.  She may be able to accommodate your needs.

Rachel was very great at suggesting fabric and design preferences and her Etsy store features other items, besides the apron.  This Summer Delight Apron has a cute plaid skirt like bottom, resembling a school girl kind of skirt.  It has a matching plaid pocket on the side front of the apron, to hold any kitchen utensil. The apron comes with ties around the neck and ties around the back, which can also be tied in the front.

The apron is a vibrant yellow, mixed with complimentary colors of reds, yellows, blues and purples and is machine washable.  The apron is plenty big enough to fit around me, protecting my clothing from any mishaps!  Thanks for a great apron, Rachel!

Please check out Fadiddles on Etsy.  There, you will find stunning hand crafted jewelry, baby quilt and the zig zag and pom poms apron.  If you are looking for something in particular, send Rachel a message...I'm sure she would be happy to make you a one of a kind piece!

Women's Anchor Racerback Tank Top

I love my tank tops!  Every year, when summer comes around, I can't wait to break out my tank tops.  I guess you can say, I have a thing for them.  I love all the bright colors that they come in as well as all the styles they now have.  

I've become more accustomed to the more loose tank tops, these days, as they are just more comfy and light (plus, it doesn't help I've gained more than a few pounds!)  It just seems that the loose flowy tank tops are more in style and have become so popular.

The tank top shown here, is the Women's Anchor Racerback Tank Top by Fashow, sold by KOOBEA, on Amazon.  This tank top features an anchor on the front and a cute pink bow on the back.  The back of the tank top looks as if the bow is cinching the back into a racerback tank.  I love the extra bow detail to this tank top, as it adds something different.

The anchor on the front covers the whole front of the tank top and is in white. The tank top itself, is soft and nice feeling.  It feels lightweight when worn and has a slight stretch to the material.  The front of the tank is just a tad shorter than the back, which is another popular feature in a lot of tank tops and shirts, today.

I normally wear a large in tops, shirts, etc., so I ordered an XL, just so it would be loose.  The top fit perfectly!  I love the whole look and feel of this tank and it looks so summery, perfect for the beach, lake or just to wear everyday.  The color of this tank top is Mint.  I think the white anchor and the pink bow in the back, compliments this mint color really well.  

This tank top is priced at $12.99 on Amazon.  That's a great price for such a fashionable tank top that is also so cute!  

You can purchase your Women's Anchor Tank Top....HERE!

ABUSA Women's Fashion Adjustable Leather Flat Sandal

Summer is here and boy, does the weather and temps sure show it!  I don't know how it is in your part of the country, but yesterday, it was 97 degrees here, with a heat index of 110!  And...when you live in the South, you get that muggy and humid weather with it!

This is the perfect time to break out those summer shorts, flip flops, sandals and tank tops (or sleeveless if your not a tank top kind of person.)  I love my sandals during the Summer.  Sandals, flip flops, barefoot...whatever, my feet does like to be hot and stuffy...plus they're comfy!
