Gold Wedge Sneakers
I got a bit ahead of myself and bought something ridiculous.
GOLD. WEDGE. SNEAKERS.
$18.98 at Wholesale Shoes Bags MN.
No online shopping but if you live in the Twin Cities its your lucky day!
I absolutely LOVE them. I also have absolutely no idea what to wear with them. They are far less tacky than they look. Not un-tacky, just less tacky. It seems like such a shame to have such amazing shoes, and then be completely lost on what to wear with them!
Typically when I am at a loss, I head on over to Pinterest (that's a link to my page) and usually get some ideas pretty quickly. Apparently gold wedge sneakers are not happening yet, because its slim pickin's.
Well hey, if Beyoncé is doing it, at least I know I'm on the right track. Now to hijack a cab...
I know with shoes like that, you gotta keep the rest of the outfit simple, but so far, I am struggling!
Any ideas, anyone?

My Favorite Perfumes
I love perfume. I love that a scent can change your whole outfit. Sometimes they are fun and flirty, sometimes they are all business, sometimes they are seductive, but whichever the case - perfume tells the world who I plan on being that day. I must admit, I am partial to sweet perfumes. They certainly aren't for everyone, it depends on how they react to your body chemistry. But I've found them to be the most appealing both to me, and on me. Below are my go-to scents....
Starting at the top:
Aquolina Pink Sugar - By far the sweetest of the group, this one smells like cookies and baked goods, summer and childhood. It is the one I wear most often, and probably my favorite. Sephora lists the notes as Bergamot, Sicilian Orange, Raspberry, Fig Leaves, Lily of the Valley, Licorice, Strawberry, Red Fruit, Cotton Candy, Vanilla, Caramel, Musk, and Wood. It is a very playful scent, and makes me feel a little mischievous!
Burberry Brit - This one feels a little more business to me. I wear it when I need to feel professional and in control. It always gives me a little "I got this" boost. The notes listed are Italian Lime, Icy Pear, Green Almond, White Peony, Sugared Almonds, Amber, Mahogany, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean.
Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy - I like to layer this one with Pink Sugar sometimes. They are similar, this one is just a bit more mature and a hint tamer. More of a date perfume than an everyday thing. The notes are Wild Berries, Mandarins, Honeysuckle, Gardenia, Jasmine, Amber, Caramel, Vanilla, Sandalwood, and Praline.
Chanel Chance - This one I wear when I want to feel like a lady. Think fancy events or parties. Its also great for meeting the parents. Listed notes are white musk, hyacinth and citron, pink pepper, jasmine, fresh vetiver, orris absolute and amber patchouli.
Gucci II - I always come back to Gucci II. This one is very clean smelling to me, and more floral than the rest. Sometimes I need a break from the super sweet, so I come back to this. This one flies a bit under the radar, its a bit harder to find. Mandarin, Bitter Orange, Blackcurrant, Violet, Blackberry, Jasmine, Heliotrope, and Cedarwood make up this light, subtle scent.
*please note, I do not make any promises that you will fall in love with a prince, becomes a princess, and live happily ever after. But I can't say it WON'T happen either, so better safe than sorry!

Holiday Travel
With the holiday season fast approaching, I've got a few flights on my schedule. I always struggle with what to wear. I want to be comfortable, but I also want to look presentable when I get there. The first two outfits totally fit the bill. Cute, comfortable, and easy to move in. As mom of a 6 year old, being able to move around, and fast, is important, especially in the airport. I'll admit, the last outfit may be a little more I'm-headed-home-I-don't-care, but at least its not a sweatsuit and ugg boots.

Currently Obsessing: Rayban Clubmaster
Wayfarers.... as much as I love them, I think its time for some of these bad boys. They are adorable in a serial-killer kind of way.
(Maybe I'll just borrow the pair my husband might get for Christmas.... from me. Is that bad?)

Currently Obsessing - Leopard Print Wedge Sneakers
My husband absolutely HATES high top sneakers. Also, wedge sneakers. So of course, I'm obsessed with high top wedge sneakers, but I can only wear them when I go out without him, otherwise he grumbles.
OK, I certainly cannot justify spending $295 on a pair of shoes, especially leopard print sneakers.
$55 is pretty stinkin' reasonable though.
We have a winner. Especially since I just bought a bunch of work clothes at Kohl's and got $20 back in "Kohl's Cash" which would make these sneakers $10.97. Yea, I think I can swing that.
