Schutz Arieli: To buy or not to buy?


This is the Schutz Arieli.

I saw this shoe last night for the first time and I fell in love with it. But then I saw the price. The first price I saw for this was $220. It broke my heart. Then I found it on Zappos for $185 and I started to really consider because, why not? So I emailed my husband and asked him if I could/should buy them because of their steep price (Well, for me at least). And he said I could! By then, I had slept on it and realized I shouldn't because they are pricey, I don't wear heels all that often, and I have very thin feet so shoes like this might not fit me correctly. BUT then I went back to Zappos and these had gone down to $160.99. I'm very torn on whether to purchase them or not. I know I don't need these shoes right, but they are just too beautiful. What do you guys think, should I get them?

Zara Culotte Skort Dupe!


So I'm sure we've all seen these Zara Culotte Skorts. They have been all over the blogosphere in the past couple of months. The first time I saw them was in a YouTube video and I fell in love. By that time, they were all sold out and I couldn't find them anywhere but eBay where they were priced at anywhere from $70-$125 plus an outrageous amount for shipping. And while I loved these shorts, I was not willing to spend that much. A few nights ago, I saw another YouTube video where a girl said she found the dupes on eBay for only 7 British pounds. So I hopped on eBay and found them for only $8.82 and I was so excited I bought both the white and black pairs. It was too good of a deal to pass up. I know these shorts won't be the best quality because they are from China but for a seasonal piece, I think they will do. And I mean, for $8.82 I can't complain. They should be here by the 24th of July so I will definitely do a full review on them then.

Outfit of the Day: 4th of July!


  


This was my Fourth of July outfit! I had the red lip, very neutral eyeshadow, my signature cat eye, and mascara. My outfit consisted of this white lace/crochet dress from Hollister ($15 on clearance) and a pair of brown/wooden wedges from Payless, but they were from the spring collection and are no longer available. I had a small blue sequin heart shaped crossbody purse from Betsey Johnson that isn't pictured.
I wanted to wear something that wasn't too over the top and I didn't want to look overdressed which is why I wore this very simple outfit. And yet, I was still the most overdressed person at the party I attended.
But you know what they say, "It's better to be overdressed, than underdressed"!

Review: ASOS Hostage Heeled Sandals.

Okay, so when I first saw these shoes on the ASOS website I fell in love with them. I could not get them off my mind. I wanted them so badly but I just couldn't justify spending 72 dollars on a pair of heels that I couldn't try on. A few weeks later, I saw that ASOS was having a huge sale so I went online and checked if these beauties were on sale and they were! They were down to 36 dollars and I ordered them after talking to my husband about it. So this is where the review starts..

The shipping was amazing and fast. I ordered them on Monday and received them Saturday morning. The packaging was basic, nothing special. The shoe itself is pretty true to picture. No complaints there.



Unfortunately, I have VERY thin feet. (I'm a size 5 in US and a 3 in UK sizes.) And the straps on the shoes are a little too wide for my feet. I can make it work though. They are also about half a size too big but like I said, I can make it work. One more thing I don't particularly like is that when I walk in them, my foot moves and the shoe makes a suction noise. I don't exactly know how to explain it, but I will have to use those gel sole inserts for heels to get rid of that aspect. The shoe is gorgeous and very well made. If you love this shoe and have an average width foot, then I strongly suggest you buy this shoe while its still on sale.
