Today I die for these…

Gucci "Huston" Mary Jane Platforms – $1,100

Ooooh mama.

Since I won't be purchasing these (insert sad face) this is where my cheap thrill comes in.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Nine West "aroundtown" platform heel – $99

Sooooo cute!

And sooooo similar without being a knockoff. These heels have the same lux look of python without the naughty price tag. The platform and chunky heel mean you will be stylish and on trend WITHOUT killing your back. Not that being fashionable means being comfortable, but I certainly can appreciate when it is!

I love the way this looks with an all black ensemble.

What do you dolls think?

street style – Wonderland edition

Posted on January 17, 2011 by allyson

Street style has become quite the rage among fashion magazines and designers. We all tend to have our own sense of style and our own uniform. Mine this season consists of a blazer, scarf and skinnys.

What's your street style?

Wearing Beyond Vintage jacket (see tops below) , Missoni scarf, J Park tee, old Seven jeans, vintage Gucci, old 9 West boots.

“I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes”

Posted on August 25, 2010 by allyson

I've spent $40,000 on shoes and I have no place to live? I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes!

- Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

Soooo it would be safe to assume that Carrie and I share the same obsession. But I don't have $40K to blow on shoes like she did. How do I feed my need for fashion and not live in a shoe box?

Sales. Sales. And more sales.

Let's break this down…

Sadly for designers the economy has crushed the fashion industry. With poor sales looming, designers are forced to heavily discount their goods. And voila, sales of 50, 60 and 75 percent off can be found at your favorite stores. In addition, "invitation only" sales have started to crop up.

Here are a few of my favorite invitation-only sales – just click on the links for an invite.*

My personal favorite is Gilt.com, I get tons of great deals from them and they have everything: women's, men's, children's, accessories, shoes, makeup, home decor, wine, and even vacations!

I love to share good sales with my faithful friends, so check out my facebook page where I post a sale du jour.

Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines with these excellent sale items available today!

And as always… OFF WITH HER HEAD!

Mood – Sales Queen

Song - Heads Will Roll by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (my link is down… grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!)

*Time for the fine print… I receive credit for everyone that buys something from theses sales. After you sign up and you recommend a friend to join and they make a purchase you will receive credit too! Most of these "credit" will give you a one time only discount of $25. Basically it a win/win situation for everyone. As Martha Stewart would say, "it's a good thing."

Still need convincing it's not a scam (I was suspicious too) check out this Forbes article…
