Recap Monday

So... this weekend was a total bedazzle fest. On Saturday, I attended a huge charity event, along with my sweetie pie "E," and a few of my work collegues.

The skateboarding demo, silent auction, food indulging extravaganza was put on by none other than the legendary "Bird Man" himself, Mr. Tony Hawk and Tony Hawk Foundation.





In more awesome news --My sweet baby Dog-ter, Bella Spimone just turned 9-years-old yesterday!
From dawn to dusk, we celebrated with a cake (made just for dogs), peanut butter treats, running around at the park, a nice bath afterwards, followed by an even longer nap, and finished with dinner. Ha! She's not spoiled, no way, no how.

Retail Therapy for a Great Cause


Shop For The Cure


 

October is Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) Month!

Relieve your daily stresses with some retail therapy that supports other women in need of your help! 

 
According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 8 (12%) women in the US will develop invasive and non-invasive forms of breast cancer during their lifetime.
 
1 in 8! That's you, me, and a few of our close relatives and friends. In my family, we have been hit twice by this leading cancer affecting and killing women of all ages.
 
My mother and my grandmother were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in their later life, and although recovering from it, the enormous weight it places on their heart and the hearts of those who love them can outweigh an elephant.
 
 If you or someone you love is fighting breast cancer, my prayers and thoughts are with you. Nothing compares to a family in need and bonding through prayer.
 
PLEASE do what ever you can to be properly screened and get your mammogram done. This disease does not discriminate, and can affect women as young as 23 years of age and older.  Take proper precautions and do self breast exams to detect early warning signs. Consult your family doctor to learn more about this.

"Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. The chance that breast cancer will be responsible for a woman's death is about 1 in 36 (about 3%)," as stated by Cancer.org.
 
There are many reputable sources out there to learn more about this disease and I encourage you to do some research. If you would like to make a direct donation, share your story or share about someone else's however, please click onto the Susan G. Komen foundation's website by clicking here.

Booties Rockin' Everywhere

Booties Rockin' Everywhere

 
Happy first day of October! The weather is starting to get chilly and we all know what that means.... Booty Booty Booty Booty Booty, Rockin' Everywhere!
 
I'm talking about the creative and chic alternative to the wedge and closed-toe flats. The booty shoe is a cut off version of your classic knee-high boots. Most booties will cut off at the ankle or just above it to premiere a clean bohemian look or classy sex kitten appearance, depending on the length and size of the heel.
 
Here's a sneak peak into my personal style, but you can go with whatever floats your boat. Just be creative and versatile. Black is a basic staple every one should have, but try grabbing a pair with gold hardware such as a zipper or studs and a tall skinny heel to sex it up a bit. This type of style can be worn with a mini dress, or fishnet stockings to add oomph. Just be weary of the size of the fishnet stockings. You want to keep it classy, not cheeky... (wink wink).
 
If you're a bit daring, choose a booty in a bright color. Since the booty is shorter, the amount of color material is minimal, and when added with a monotone outfit in black or white, the bright color will offset the outfit by adding just enough  pop, versus smack you in the face and knock you over with it.
 
Looking for a simple understated look? Go for a sheen leather in tan or black with a brown underbelly and heel. This look is casual and can pull a casual work outfit together, or take you to a fun day-cation with rocker style.
