Astronomy has always fascinated me so I’m sure it comes as no surprise when I say that I always loved the space program. At one point in my life, I dreamed about being an astronaut. I thought it would be so cool to go up to space and see everything we see in the books. Can you imagine seeing the moon, planets and stars in close distance? That would be insane but amazing at the same time.

When I spotted the Maison Martin Margiela “Metallic” Flat Sneakers I instantly thought of an astronaut. If a designer had wanted to spruce up a space suit and make it more stylish, the astronauts would be wearing these babies. Obviously, someone couldn’t wear these in space but they look definitely look fashionable in an outer space kind of way.

I personally would never wear these, unless it was Halloween because they don’t fit my sense of style. However, I will admit they are pretty awesome looking! These are the type of shoes that would catch everyone’s eye as you walk by. They are so shiny, how can you not! A+ for making them so unique looking Maison!

I have a deep love for high heels but for the sake of my feet I love wedges more! I thinke very woman that has worn high heels and wedges can agree that wedges are easier on our feet. I can wear wedges for hours and hours and never have an ounce of pain. However, when I wear heels a majority of the time my feet are hurting about 2-3 hours later. Also, let’s not forget the blisters! I also get blisters when I wear heels and I can promise you it’s not fun!

Whenever I see gorgeous wedges, I squeal especially if they have some height on them. The Boutique 9 “Cesena” Wedge Pumps are beautiful. These are the type of wedges that can go with so many different outfits. I personally would wear these with shorts, jeans, leggings, skirts and maybe even a dress. In this economy, the more versatile the shoe the better and that’s what makes these worth every penny!

Most of the heels in my closet are black. Makes sense since a majority of my wardrobe is black and white. However, I do have an appreciation for gorgeous shoes no matter what color they come in. Some of the most beautiful shoes in the world are featured in colors and I’ve learned to deal with that.

The Alexander Wang “Aida” pumps are a beautiful shade of blue and are definitely stunning. The scale texture feature is one of the most unique designs I’ve seen on a shoe in a while and because of that I’m digging it. The “Aida” is also available in black but such a dark color doesn’t give justice to the scales.

The cobalt color of the shoe is pretty but not ideal for Fall or Winter. I’m not one to follow trends and what colors you should and shouldn’t wear during the different seasons but this color just doesn’t seem right for the cooler months. To me, the “Aida” screams Spring and Summer. These are statement shoes and you definitely need the right outfit when wearing these babies.

Nonetheless, I’m a huge fan of the “Aida” and I would love to add them to my collection!

As I always mention, I love unique looking jewelry that catches your eye and that you wouldn’t see on every single person that walks down the street. I never really got into the whole Tiffany & Co. chain bracelets and necklaces because almost every single girl at my high school had them! Being different is fun to me. Life is short so why be like everyone else?

The Monserat De Lucca “Married/Single” Ring is probably the funniest ring I’ve seen in a while. It’s the perfect ring to wear when you’re out with your girlfriends and you want guys to know if you’re single or married. If you’re single, flip over the “single” side and watch the gorgeous guys flock to you or if you’re taken or simply don’t want to be annoyed flip over the “married” side of the ring. It’s definitely a ring that would save guys a lot of embarrassment. Clever!

Unique accessories are always fun to have because they simply grab people’s attention. Think about it, why would you want to wear things everyone else is wearing? If you are caught with something everyone wants, then I would say mission accomplished. Life it too short to be another in the same crowd, always be yourself.

The A.L.C Large Twisted “Nail” Cuff is one of the coolest accessories I’ve seen in a while. Growing up, I always saw my Dad nailing something to our walls so it’s pretty neat to see a piece of jewelry that literally looks like two nails were bent together.

This would be a lovely accessory to wear at night. By the stock picture it looks very flashy and edgy. This would compliment any edgy or casual look. I definitely wouldn’t wear anything fancy with this cuff, it has more of a fun rather than evening look to it.

Overall, this is a gorgeous piece to own and I’m absolutely loving it!

I’ve noticed the past couple of years that before Christmas, Juicy Couture always comes out with the cutest accessories. Pretty smart, because it just makes girls and women world wide put their goodies on their Christmas wishlist. One of the newest accessories that caught my eye was the “Days of the Week” necklace.

This piece is probably the ultimate fashionista necklace. It features charms of things fashionista’s can’t live without including cocktails, heels and lip stick. Jewelry that you can slide charms on and off of seem to be a trend these days. I’ve never been into it but I actually like this necklace. It’s not to pricey and for one thing the charms are all included. With other companies you have to pay per charm, after a while that starts to add up!

If you’re looking to purchase a Christmas gift for a stylish lady you might want to consider this. It’s fun, cute and perfect to wear year round! Too cute!

Shoes that always have a lot going on, on them always catch my attention. By that I mean either they were made in odd colors or have a different looking design on them. The Rodarte for Opening Ceremony “Print” High Heel Booties instantly caught my eye. By look at them it appears that the print is of pictures and as if you are looking out a window! Kind of peaceful if you ask me!

I suppose these would look grand with jeans. Your outfit would have to be incredibly simple when wearing these because the print on the heel screams attention. I would personally pair these these up a pair of blue or black jeans and a solid color top that matches a color on the shoe. With such a simple outfit, the shoes really have a chance to shine and stand out. They sure would be fun to wear in the Spring or Summer!

Overall, the Rodarte for Opening Ceremony “Print” High Heel Booties are definitely a fun show to add to any collection.

Do you know what I hate most about winter? Okay, it’s probably snow. But the thing I hate second most about winter is the fact that I freeze my butt off if I try wearing a skirt. The result is all of my skirts being packed up until the spring thaw! But then I thought maybe I just need warmer tights. Regular tights don’t seem to do anything, the wind just blows right through them. What about these though? They are the Fleece Lined Tights from Plush, a company that is dedicated to bringing us tights and leggings that are both stylish and warm. Fleece lined certainly sounds warm! And after reading some reviews, I think I might be sold! They sound really soft too. I might be begging to wear those skirts just so I can wear these tights! And as an added bonus, these can double as thermals. Simply slip them on underneath your pants on those REALLY cold days!
