my darling BALENCIAGA

I gotta admit, It wasn't love at first sight, but it didn't take long for me to fall MADLY in love with you.....once you became mine, we were inseparable.  YES I am talking about my BALENCIAGA city bag.

I have decided to do a "what's in my purse?" post, since my partner in crime did yesterday (Click here )!!  First I'd like to share my history with my dear purse. I've taken it with me around the world, well not really but enough places like L.A., Japan and even Mexico! It is the perfect size for almost any occasion and it has withstood unbearable heat, to blazing coldness and even rainfalls! It hasn't shown one bit of wear-and-tear! This purse is a survivor and it actually still looks pretty new to this day.......navy blue is just as royal as the day I got it. Ladies, I think EVERY girl should have a BALENCIAGA bag......it is durable, fashionable without it being too flashy or pretentious! It can be paired with a casual look or even a dressy one!

The contents of my bag include

I-Pod NANO - life is one grand sweet song, so start the music!

Prada Wallet - I gotta keep enough lettuce to support my shoe fetish 

Louie bus pass holder - to get from A to B

Mini-mouse make-up pouch -  to make me purdy!

thanks for reading! Now tell me what is in YOUR purse!

Pre-fall....already?!

Though Summer only officially started a week ago,  there are blow-out sales everywhere to make way for the pre-fall styles. Places like Saks, Neiman, Barneys, and Shopbop,  are having up to 40% sale!   So what is in store for the pre-fall? Well the one thing that keeps on coming back year after year are booties!  What I adore about booties are it goes with almost every causal outfit you have.  Whether it's your favorite jeans or skirt it gives the entire outfit an edgy but still classy overall look.

My personal favorite is Rag_Bone Classic Newbury Booties (below).  It comes in at least 3 different styles (leather, fabric, stripped)

Another favorite of mine is Prada's Peep Toe Suede Bootie.

I tried this pair last month at Nordstorm and it was absolutely beautifully! The height was just right and the brightness of the navy wasn't too overwhelming.  If I was still living in Vancouver, buying a suede shoe would totally be a nightmare - but now that I'm back in LA, that wouldn't be a problem! 

Have you gotten your booties yet?

The most wanted slipper

Happy weekend everyone!  I'm doing some major packing for my final move to LA on Wednesday. Cleaning out my closet feels so good with occasional moments of "what the heck was I thinking."  which comes to the item that may or may not end up on the that dreaded list...is Loafers.

Loafers are everywhere from the very exotic and luxurious Christian Louboutin, YSL, Prada, to the classic and affordable Cole Haan. 

Wearing loafers can go very right or very wrong, which depends entirely on your outfit as well as the style of the loafer.  I have yet to find myself a style that I like and once I do, I cannot wait to see how crazy I can get with pairing with my outfits!

Loafers may be the most wanted slippers but what's the most wanted shoes for summer?
