5/24/13 Friday Fashion Files - The Wedge Sneaker

Fridays will be all about trends that I love...please feel free to inform me of others as I am not always up to date on these things...but in general these will be from my POV ^_^

The Spring/Summer trend that has been taking the fashion world one step at a time--the wedged sneaker! At first I was totally against this, like how I was VERY opposed to the idea of Uggs; I am now a HUGE fan of Uggs, so ingenious especially for cold places. As such, I have also come to LOVE the idea of the wedged sneaker & I HAD to get myself a pair!

Of course, being me, I didn't want to invest in one that "everyone" had... I scoured the internet and FINALLY found one that I thought was sufficiently unique, fun, on trend and versatile! I settled on these JC's that brought together two trends in one--FLORAL, WEDGE SNEAKER?!--SCORE! Not to mention discounted to only $61 (thank you Lori's Shoes; sign up for emails to get $10 off)?! It was inevitable that this was going to be a part of my closet.

Now, I know, this may not be to everyone's taste...(my sister personally told me "WHO WOULD BUY THOSE?!")...but like she also says "I DEGAF" hehe :) Just as a note, it's probably best to buy your pair in-store so you can try these styles on; I would probably suggest going a size up since the heel part will jam your toe in the front if it's too tight!

When I first decided to buy into this trend, I was adamant that I only needed one pair. However, my will power has been wavering--eek! Especially with JC's, they are my weakness!! I currently have my eye on these babies (courtesy of Homecoming Honolulu; once again, ENABLERS!!):

Other (sometimes cheaper) alternatives can be found at a number of places...Target, etc. I am particularly in LOVE with an ALDO pair that Insta-glamazon PineapplePrincess purchased; the stud embellishments are so rad!!

So would you buy into this trend? Lmk & share your favs!

5/22/13 Wishlist Wednesday - 5 Things We Love

The blogger-verse has been blowing up with these wishlist posts...so of course I'm hopping on the bandwagon!

I've always loved the weekly "5 Things We Love" column in the Star Advertiser. So my Wednesday Wishlists will be a hybrid of wants, loves & of course wishes!

1.  Celine - Luggage Tote (SOLD OUT); WAHHH!

Of course I am lusting after something that is COMPLETELY out of my price range and is sold out. I've grown to love the look of this bag: simple, subtle, functional and reminds me of LV's Never Full (if you can't tell I like my bags BIG)! Oh well, this is what WISHES are for :)

2.  Jeffrey Campbell - Cantu ($160, Homecoming Boutique, Honolulu)

To buy or not to buy, that is the real question. These are SO within reach, (not so much within budget), but I'm so so SO tempted!! Especially since my Google search was not able to find this color?! Homecoming you are an enabler >.<

3.  mStand Laptop Stand ($45, Amazon)
Ok, so this has been in my Amazon cart forever! It is totally justified as a NEED, seeing as my desk area is a mess and I think it would totally free up some space--we like desk efficiency! But some other (unnecessary) purchase has always taken precedence. I first saw this on my advisor's desk and thought it was genius. While it technically doesn't fit my 17" MacBook...I think I can make it work...

4.  Muji - Acrylic Cases
Functionality at it's best! Organization and display all in one. These acrylic cases from Muji have been growing in popularity, primarily through Youtube makeup gurus & vloggers. As a Japanese brand, quality is expected as the raves have justified. Sadly, you have to be a hawk on the site; these guys sell like hot cakes and are usually sold out. This model is $25.25 but there are a number of models that have different features/sizing. Check out the review by one of my fav beauty bloggers: hollyannaeree!

5.  Jeffrey Campbell - Soiree
Lucite + heel = one KILLER shoe for Spring/Summer. It's all the rage, and I have been wanting IN for MONTHS! Forget the Mom lectures of these types of "clear heels" being trashy--the black fade on this lovely pair is to die for!!--simultaneously subtle & mysterious. Dream shoe FOR SURE.
