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.

Femme Luxe - Affordable, Fashionable and Hot!

I'm back!  And this time, Femme Luxe didn't disappoint me!  First of all, let me start by saying, that if I was the slim model type, I would be going all out and braving the hot, sexy items that Femme Luxe has!  Some of their pant suits are just SO cute, elegant and made for parties and evening wear...but...as I'm NOT that model, I've settled on some sweaters and leggings, as well as a pant suit, that are JUST as fashionable, comfortable and has me smiling ear from ear!

Take a look at the first sweater.  Look familiar?  This Neon Green Oversized Sweater is just like the Gray one I posted, not too long ago.  This is the size ML and is plenty big enough to be very roomy and comfortable and oh, did I mention...it's so soft and cuddly!  I think this is my favorite, so far.  I can pair it up with some nice black leggings and finish it off with some cute ankle boots. Available sizes are SM (4/6) and ML (8/10).  Go check out their collection for more color options.  They have a extreme pink color as well.

The next sweater is the Extreme Polo Neck Oversized Sweater in the camel color.  It does have a bit snugger turtle neck, but has these awesome extra wide sleeves that I'm in love with.  Any sweater, or blouse at that, that has loose, comfy and non-constricting sleeves, gets an A+ in my books.  This sweater is available in several colors (Camel, Khaki, Mustard & Pink)  Available sizes are SM (8/10) and ML (12/14).  Can you imagine pairing this up with not only some cute snug leggings and canvas type shoes, but with a fitted leather, knee length skirt?  How cool would that be! This type of sweater can be worn either casual, or dressy, depending on what you pair it up with.

Next up, are the Black Ribbed Knit Leggings.  Ok...how many times have you heard (or seen) me mention leggings?  Seriously!  It's my all go-to item that I must have, ALWAYS have, in my closet.  Leggings are just an essential part of any wardrobe and when you can find a pair that gets off the beaten path of the plain solid colored leggings (yes, solid colored leggings are a necessity for those tops), then you have a winner.  These leggings have a ribbed looked down the legs.  They are soft, stretchy and very comfortable leggings and can be worn while lounging around or...on the weekends, with the gals, paired with some ankle boots, cute sandals or heels and topped with an oversized or long blouse.  Available sizes are: SM (8/10) and ML (12/14) and come in various colors.  

Last, but certainly not least, is the Black Cold Shoulder Long Sleeve Jumpsuit.  OMG!  How cute and sexy is this!  Although I have a bit of a stomach and it shows in this jumpsuit, I definitely love this outfit because it's so dressy and so chic!  It can be worn with some sliders, some cute blingy sandals or heels or even some solid colored canvas shoes.  This jumpsuit is available in several different colors as well as sizes.  Sizes available are: 6,8,10 & 12 with colors of: black, rust and camel.  I love how the shoulder is cut out on one side and the other has a long sleeve, with just part of the neckline separated from the cold shoulder part.  It's so neat and love the unique and different look and feel of this jumpsuit!

You must check out their collections!  There are SO many items that I could just choose for myself and get this...they are ALL very reasonable in price, not to mention, a way lot cheaper (not cheaper in quality) than if you would have purchased these from a well known department or boutique store.  That is why I love shopping online.  I can find very fashionable, trendy and hot clothing for a fraction of the price than if I walked into my local clothing store.  Femme Luxe has some very hot and cute items for your night time, lounging around or for that special party.  Go check them out!

How You Can Score A Free Fashion Handbag

The Power of The Right Handbag

There is hardly a person you will see who is not carrying a bag of some sorts or the other. These can be simple grocery bags to designer handbags that cost an average person’s salary for several years. Whatever the bag one may be carrying, the fact remains that they are probably the most useful things around. Whether you are a man or a woman, an adult or a child, it is certain that you own at least one bag or wallet of some sort.

Why Do You Need a Bag?

There is a very obvious answer to this question...You need it to carry things, at least that is what the original purpose of a bag was supposed to be. In the early days, handbags were a means to carry things such as: food, clothes and other stuff but in the modern society, a bag goes beyond being just a utility item. In the Victorian times the handbags became the mark of a lady who carried little wristlets that contained her essential smelling salts, dainty handkerchiefs, hat pins and similar stuff. These little pull string pouches have come a long way since then. Now they are a mark of a well dressed and successful person.

Bags For Utility

For different people, a handbag means different things.

• For an Office Worker – It is a means of carrying all the information he/she may require on the go. A handbag in such cases may be more like a mini office with all the work-related documents and items kept in it.

• For a Student – It is a school or a college bag or rucksack which holds all that he or she needs for studying.

• For a Housewife – The bag holds all that she needs for a day out shopping or with friends. It is her world.

• For a Tradesman or a Crafts Person – It is his or her entire career in a bag. It is a mobile shop that carries all the tools of the trade.

There are diaper bags and cosmetic bags, gym bags, duffel bags, messenger bags and backpacks – each of these has its own utility. But this is not where the story ends. Bags are far more than just utility items for a lot of people.

Bags As A Symbol Of Success

Bags and handbags have immense snob value. Ask any upward mobile socialite and they will tell you how they distinguish between class and crass by merely the bag or clutch they carry. Handbags, wallets and briefcases are as much a symbol of success and wealth as the paycheck you may flaunt. They are no longer just utility item. They denote your social and financial status. A woman carrying a Birkin bag can expect preferential treatment everywhere. Even the most snobbish of places will allow her entry without blinking an eye lid as long has she has a Birkin hanging from her arm. It should not be a huge surprise either as these to-die-for handbags can cost thousands of dollars each. Even second hand ones are more than the cost of an average car or a truck. So, if handbags are taken as a symbol of success, it is not too incredulous an idea for most of us who think nothing of the innocuous bags that we carry. But, if you wish to make your mark in the world, you need to pay attention to the bag you carry.

Bags For Different Occasions

Now handbags are not defined by their use of the social success they are also defined by the occasions where they are used. Yes, there are different bags that are appropriate for different occasions, you would not want to be seen with a tote bag at a wedding. No! that would be totally wrong! So, there are different bags for each occasion:

• School bags, satchels and briefcases:  These are usually to take with you to college, school, office or for work.

• Shopping bags, Totes, Duffel: These are larger and best used for when there is a need to carry a lot of stuff like when shopping.

• Evening, Party, Bridal : These bags are usually small with just enough space to keep essentials for a few hours. Evening bags are usually more ornamental with metal chains, a little bit of bling and are considered statement pieces. Bridal bags are meant for brides and are usually highly embellished pieces of art.

Birkin Is Not For Everybody

A woman of the world cannot have just one bag. Depending upon the occasion, she has to have several for different occasions, purposes and to accessorize with different dresses. Yes, you need to do that too – match a handbag to your dress to be considered smart. Not all of us have enough money to buy Birkin, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Gucci, Burberry or a Chanel bag, but we can still buy bags that look good at an affordable price.

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.

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.

#VogueJewelry Squash Blossom Necklace

What is your favorite style of jewelry?  Do you like simple chain necklaces or is your type the flashy bold necklaces?  Myself, I love both, but it depends on the occasion, situation or place I'm going.  

I love to wear bold statement pieces when I'm dressing up a simple black dress or black outfit and when I'm wearing something fancy or elegant (for me, anyways), I like to go with a piece of jewelry that is more simple, because I don't want to take away from the elegant dress or outfit I'm wearing. 

This piece shown here, is by Vogue Jewelry.  It is the Squash Blossom Necklace and as you can see, it's pretty intricate with all the blossom looking pieces, with a nice size half circle focal piece.  The stones resembles turquoise and the chain is a medium size silver chain.  The necklace sparkles with the silver that is combined into the necklace.

The necklace has a little weight to it, but it's not too heavy.  It really is a very lovely piece and a piece that will definitely dress up any outfit!  This necklace is so pretty in person and I love that the silver shines through the turquoise beads. 

I will definitely be wearing this necklace this summer, probably with a summer dress.  I can't wait to wear it while on vacation, although I will be going to a beach, there will be plenty of times to pair this necklace up with a summer outfit (I'm hoping we may hit up a club!)

All in all, this is a beautiful necklace that I'm sure you will love. It just makes a statement and is very very eye catching!  This necklace is available in green and black.  The one shown here is green, but I like to think it's more of a light turquoise color.

You can purchase your Squash Blossom Necklace at this link: https://vogue.jewelry/products/squash-blossom-necklace.

Lady's Fashion Messenger Hobo Shoulder Purse

Sometimes you just need a small simple purse or bag for just your necessities. A bag or purse that is easy to carry, that doesn't allow you to over stuff with unnecessary items and a bag that is idea for keeping it lightweight.

This messenger bag shown here, is a simple, yet very nicely made messenger purse that is idea for carrying your ID, credit cards, small wallet and a few of your items you may need on an everyday basis.  I actually find this the idea purse for vacations.  You don't want to haul a big tote bag or purse around when you are sight seeing, going to the beach or going out for the evening.  

This Lady's Fashion Messenger Hobo Shoulder Purse has two zipper pockets on the front and two zipper compartments on top of the purse.  Inside one of the zipper compartments has two small pockets and the other zipper compartment has a smaller zipper pocket, great for holding change or your cell phone.  The two zipper compartments on the front of the purse are large enough to hold your sunglasses, cell phone and other items.

The purse is very well made, and although it's more of a small purse (crossbody type), it has plenty of pockets and compartments for your things.  I love the green color and another great addition to this bag...it has a small key ring on the side of the purse that has a little pink monkey hanging from it!  

This Lady's Fashion Messenger Hobo Shoulder Purse comes in 4 colors: Green, Red (looks pink in the photos), Black and Gray (looks grayish blue in photos.) You can grab this purse for only $14.99 on Amazon.  The handbag is sold by YallFairy & YallFF on Amazon.
