Will Work For Shoes!

I often say, "beauty is pain...". It is one of my favorite sayings, only as it relates to one thing, shoes! My biggest weakness is without a doubt, shoes. I love all kinds, comfortable and stunning, borderline uncomfortable, completely uncomfortable, but likely colorful and always show stopping. I love unique and inexpensive sale shoes. I love designer and ridiculously too expensive shoes. I do not discriminate, except for out of date and badly shaped shoes. My closet has grown over the years, and I take very good care of my babies. I only travel with them in duster bags and keep all designer pairs in their original boxes. If I had more room, I would have them all out for display (but away from Ethel). Some of you may recall the Chanel flat incident only a couple months ago. Ethel has eaten a pair of Chanels and three pairs of Dolce Vita's (must be her favorite!). Other than that, I consider myself a good shoe owner. The most comfortable heels I own, are Jimmy Choos, I swear by them. Net-a-porter has the best designer sales, which I treat myself to once a year. My most recent shoe purchase was from Forever 21, 30% off on all sandals! My favorite pair of shoes in middle school was a rainbow metallic lace up pair, with white rubber chunky heels. I wore ballet nude embellished Valentino heels on my wedding day and leopard print Steve Madden's to my bridal shower. I recently departed with three pairs of Vince Camuto, in good nature, as it was time for me to move on. Nikes have been my running sneaks, ever since I can remember. Shoes are my all time love and I dream about them often, past, present, and future. If you are in the mood to expand your shoe closet sometime soon, check out my current favorite finds, all on sale. Some are still a little pricey, but others, not so much! xo RCN

 

Pineapples Please

Pineapples began trending almost two years ago, but they are still going strong. In home decor and fashion. From children's bedspreads to barware silhouettes and and fashion prints, they are still everywhere. My latest pineapple purchase was this maxi off the should Lucca dress from Neiman Marcus Last Call. I first saw it in the outlet store and later purchased online in my size. The shoulders don't slide up or down - important for girls with broad shoulders like myself. The tie at the waist allows you to tighten and accentuate your waistline, and the center front slit blows beautifully in the breeze. I popped the navy and black pattern with my bold velvet fuchsia slides from ASOS and my pink Fendi Du Jour purse. There is no question, I'll be packing this baby for my next vacation getaway!
