Break My Bank

With summer winding down now is the time to shop some fabulous sales. I am completely in shoe lust with the final sale at www.piperlime.com right now which has basically driven me into a shoe frenzy where I have to plan out my fall shoe wardrobe.

At 5'9" my love of high heels is not always appropriate. While I am not opposed to rocking 5 inch heels, I've come to discover that being 6'2" and in law school may be kind of intimidating when trying to find boys.

That being said I have made my fall shoe shopping list (don't worry there are plenty of other shopping lists I have been making as well) and it includes the following:


1. A sassy pair of wedges that can transition and be paired with tights.




I have been CRAVING these wedges since I first saw them on the Piperlime screen shot. Originally priced at $75.00 they are now final sale for $34.97. While the sale is final the reviews for the product have been fantastic and the big perk of Piperlime is free shipping. They're funky but still tame enough to wear with skinny jeans and a vneck for a casual night out. (www.piperlime.com)

2. Wear to class flats



I love the classic look of ballet flats. While I'm definitely prone to rocking moccasins or sperry's on occasion. When going for a more polished look I will turn to ballet flats. Usually they're quite comfortable and they can pretty much go with all types of outfits. (www.piperlime.com)

3. Flat over the knee boots

Though I don't have a fancy picture for you. I can tell you that my need for boots is often unmatched. I absolutely love fall for the boot weather and this year I want to add a pair of flat, over the knee boots to my arsenal. My goal is to find a pair of taupe or camel colored leather boots that I can wear with airy chiffon dresses in late fall with a cardigan. It's a way to be classy yet still trendy!

4. Oxford Heels



While law is often considered a stuffy line of work. I try and be as youthful and stylish as possible. These oxford are perfect for the workplace. They are trendy enough, yet are still down to earth. Pairing these with patterned tights would make a really cute fall ensemble. (www.zappos.com)

5. Rope Thong Sandals

Okay. So these aren't really for fall. But with the summer we've been having who knows when fall will start. Rope sandals give off a nautical preppy feel and can be paired with pretty much everything. Totally appropriate and fashionable


There ya go. My fall fashion shoe picks!

Music Monday

Happy Monday!

I don't think I'd ever make it through Mondays without a huge cup of coffee on my desk and some new music on my itunes.

As much as I love fashion I also consider myself somewhat of a music aficionado. I am constantly searching for new music to match my mood and today I've put together the perfect combination of end of the summer jams and figured I'd share it with the world.

Enjoy!

La Roux - In for the Kill
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - 40 Day Dream
Laura Steel - Feedback
2AM Club - Worry About You
The Bloodsugars - Light at the End of the Tunnel
Yeasayer - Ambling Alp
Florence + The Machines - Dog Days Are Over
Status Green - Denver After Dawn

Barely Broke

Today is my last day of being completely penniless. As I am writing this and checking my balance in my bank account I currently have $5.37. Tomorrow though is the day every employed person looks forward to. Pay day.

I consider myself a fairly fashionable law student and this summer has been pure torture. With rent, bills, gas and the night life my law clerk job does not support my trendy habits. But starting tomorrow I get a paycheck and then student loans come in and my paycheck to paycheck living style will disappear.

My first big purchase is actually not fashion-related...but more beauty orientated.

Ever heard of a brazilian blowout?




No it does not involve the bikini area...it is a FABULOUS semi-permanent frizz-relieving treatment for your hair.

Hopefully it will make my hair go from white girl afro into sleek manageable strands.

Normally priced between $100-$150 this keratin process lasts THREE months and cuts maintenance time down for styling!

My appointment is booked for next Friday with my best friendy C and we couldn't be more excited.
