Faux Leatherette, Laced up boots, bring it on baby!!!

Soooo one of my Facebook friends gave me homework yesterday and asked for a post about what to wear to her first spanish concert.  Marc Anthony.. aoowwwww so she sent me pictures of her tops for me to create outfits for her...

TOPS:

1                                                                                                                   2



3                                


                                                                                                    4


I would probably try wearing:
-1 over 4. 
-1 with a plain white tank or black.
-2 or 4 with a plain blazer over.
-Not crazy about 3 but it also goes with a blazer over it.

the good thing about all these tops is that it goes with  my NEW ultimate obsession. FAUX LEATHER LEGGINGS!! DELISH!


 OUTERWEAR:


My fave!

Cropped military jacket
FOREVER 21 ----$22.80






 









Shawl Collar Career Jacket
FOREVER 21---- $32.80

 with layered necklace looks like this:
  
 










 You can find jackets anywhere and the good thing about these is you can wear them over and over again.  Out with jeans, to the office, to a meeting, etc... Dress them up, Dress them down have a party... lol



BOTTOMS:Faux Leather Leggings/Jeggings


(My Favorite)


Leatherette Knee Leggings
FOREVER 21 ----$12.80






















Vinyl Ankle Zipper Leggings
FOREVER 21 ---$19.80 


















SHOES:
Soho lacedup booties F21- $32.80                                Spectator ankle boots F21- $29.80

OR IF YOU WANNA TO REALLY INDULGE
Arden B. Midcalf laced up boots $62

< BEBE Dolly Suede Wedge Bootie $149
I dream of these!




>BAKERS Roxanne Lacedup $89








ACCESSORIES:
I WOULD DEFINITELY ACCESSORIZE WITH LAYERED CHAINS, A BIG RING, LAYERED BRACELETS AND GO MINIMAL ON THE EARRINGS... PROBABLY JUST STUDS OR PLAIN HOOP EARRINGS.

THESE I FOUND IN FOREVER 21 BUT YOU CAN ALWAYS CHECK CLAIRES, STRAWBERRY, JCPENNY, CHARLOTTE RUSSE,







REMEMBER ALL THESE ITEMS ARE IN STYLE NOW AND CAN BE FOUND ANYWHERE FOR AN EVEN CHEAPER PRICE. 


iTS CHiC ITS TRENDY ITS COMFY AND ITS IN STYLE! ATTEND A CONCERT AND LOOK LIKE A CELEB! :)


HOPE THIS HELPS!


UPDATE!::: (10-04-10)
CHECK OUT WHAT SHE ENDED UP WEARING!



I PREFER THIS OUTFIT WITHOUT THE BLAZER! :) OR WITH A LONGER BLAZER!
Plain hoops, layered necklaces, simple bangles... and pony tail is super cute!

How to turn "WTF's" into "LOLs"

Found this article that nailed what I'm trying to share with you guys...


"Laughter is about optimism. You have the ability to effect people and events around you through your own attitude....Finding humor in a bad situation creates the alternative perspective we need to separate ourselves from it." 

"To laugh is to understand the humor in a given situation and more importantly, to learn from it. It is the counterbalance to pessimism and hopelessness and the ability to see the silver lining in a dark cloud."

I am a firm believe of the law of attraction, positive attitude attracts POSITIVE THINGS... ever since i started watching the movie "The Secret" and reading about the optimism creed which include some of the following:

I Promise Myself:
-To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
-To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
-To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
-To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

(a smile.. but don't scare them either hahaaa)


-To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
-To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

_______
Remember to always turn a negative into a positive and learn from it... you cannot dwell on the things you cannot control!!!! why WASTE time and energy complaining if you cannot control it? GET OVER IT!!!! and just work on bettering yourself and keep working hard! as if its the last thing you have to do on this earth... as if the end is near lol I'M SERIOUS!

WTF: Your train is delayed... ur late for work... LOL: Stop! buy an apple for ur  manager and tell them you were late because u were getting a present for them since its "managers day"... HUH?  its not managers day? ---oh oops sorry. haha

WTF: Coffee spills on ur new white shirt... LOL: Stop!!!!! near a store and buy a shirt to replace the spill.. cant find any?  find someone with a white shirt and spill coffee on them and tell them u just wanna match lololol

WTF: Got a hole on ur stocking.... LOL: take them off show your sexy legs.... make sure u lotion up too.. if they're colored stocking... RIP MORE HOLES into them and go for a punk rock look.... or CVS and Walgreens sells them for cheap! DON'T CRY!! buy new ones and get over it!

WTF: Got cramps and you're period is just overflowing.  LOL: ummm there really isn't an LOL to this so just.... deal with it!! lol take some motrin, midol, percocet lol and wooosahhhhhh go home.. take a bubble bath.. put hot compress.. feel better. AND WEAR A SIGN.. "ITS THAT TIME OF THE MONTH PLS DO NOT DISTURB" and put it on your desk so your coworkers get the drift.

I can go on forever!  I always seem to TRY to make a good out of a bad.. to laugh when in a bad or sticky situation.. stress kills!!!!! it really does... if you cant control it why you stressing? is stressing going to make it betteR? is it going to fix it? HELL NO!  however if YOU CAN control it but you dont know how to because you either dont wanna hurt feelings or choose sides or you just dont know how to approach it... make a pro's and con's list.. no biggie!!!! trust me!! with a positive attitude things will go smoothly! i constantly find my dad soo calm during a WTF moment.. sitting in traffic and someone tailgating him..ALL UP ON HIS REAR END.... he goes EVEN SLOWER hahahah so i tell him.. "i dont know how you're soo calm".. he says.. "what am i gonna do? have a heart attack and die because of this? NO I WANNA LIVE!" lol in Spanish "yo no me voy a morir por eso"... Its soo funny... one time i was soo upset there was soo much traffic like this morning... i knew i was going to be late for work... and ppl were cutting each other offf bumper to bumper on the grand central.. ugh sooo i was riding this persons butt 'cus i was just soo mad and was in a hurry so i wouldn't be late for work and on his bumper there was a sign that said "if you're going to ride my a$$ at least pull my hair"  i couldn't stop laughing.. of course i backed off... but its things like that.. AND i made it to work just in time EVEN TAKING THE Train about 20 mins later than usual! HA!

We all should be like my dad... WTFaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!!!? moment...? JUST LAUGH!!!!!!

Be a clown life's too short!


a clown in style lol romper from Express :)

anyway hope you enjoyed it and remember to substitute a HAHA instead of a Faaaaaaaaaaack!

:)

Happy Feet... for just $7

Ever since my Shoeho contest last week I've been more and more interested in shoes.  Now i pay attention to everyone's shoes haha a little creepy but this is what it's come down to.

I spoke about My Fabulous Finds last week and shared with you guys my 7 fabulous deals and also shared a bonus from my ShoeHo winner Krys... $7 Forever 21 flats that originally cost $16.95
I went to this $7 store yesterday in Jackson Heights on 82nd street and 37th avenue nearby the 7 train which I keep failing to get the name of lol but who cares haha.  This store is packed with flats, sandals, boots, pumps everything for just $5, $7, $12, $15 and $20.  Yes! i will tell you now and will admit that MOST of the shoes in there are plastic, crappy, cheap, wear them once and they fall  apart kind of shoes.  BUT if you're lucky you find a select few like i did! 


Here's my purchase:
Of course totally fell in love with the Forever 21 flats and got the same ones but in "Prewster" or gray...  $7

Found my "Indian" boots that i've been wanting... love at first sight!... $20

And i got them in tan as oppose to the brown.. just matches my stuff better...


Next up fell in love with these brown/tan, studded heel, folding flats... $7


and found these for my sister! .... can you say AOWWEEEEEEEE lol  FOR JUST $12






They look better on her feet.. how hot are these shoes!? LOVE THEM!









Who says you have to spend tons to have some HAPPY FEET!? WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG being fabulous comes with attitude, style and good judgment hahah and this store .. is awesome judgment!! If you're ever in the Queens Jackson Heights area you NEED to check this store out because you might come out with some awesome bargains like we did today!!!!

total $ spent for 3 pairs of shoes (excluding my sisters shoes) $34...

This is how i shop... Online shopping makes a killer for lazy woman like me!

You can also shop online or PRINT COUPONS!!!! let me tell you.. i save TONS of money by printing coupons and using coupon codes online.  I am the definition of the coupon lady!!!



Working on Wall street i used to go shopping every other day (literally) with my friend Wendy Carrasco.. we are the shopping DIVAS!!!!! <--- try us.. we would scout for coupons before going to lunch and make sure we made a deal!

here's a few websites you can check out (GOOGLE IS UR BESTFRIEND!!!):

I started my ShoeHo contest and boy do I regret it lol maybe i don't! haha i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee all the girls who participated and made this contest fun and difficult at the same time!  Everyone has their own story to tell with their shoes... I just wish i wasn't obsessed with shoes now lol damn thats a huge dent in my checkings account! I've thought about shoes ever since this contest began.  I even went as far as purchasing my fabulous Michael Kors all out of the impulse of this contest lol but i dont regret my MK babies!  those are extremely comfortable! and if you know me you know i'm all about comfort+fashion= ME!

I must say though i am a little jealous that i can't participate in my own contest so i decided to at least share my faves and killer with you guys.

These Carlos Santana leopard SCREAMED my name at Marshalls.  Haven't had the chance to wear them yet but these ARE HOT!  they scream sophistication, woman on the move, woman with a motive... at least i think so but i speak a diff shoe language than most hahah


 


Got these hotties at bakers... i feel like these are half a size too big on me though and look big on me.. no?  anyway i wore these once and they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo comfortable!!!! im mad i think they look big on me because its prevent me from wearing them again :/ !




I KNOW I SAID TO PICK MAX. 3 FAVES BUT ITS MY BLOG I POST WHAT I WANT! LOL

Last but def. not least my F21 booties (ill keep this section short) i've never worn these before outside my house lol and i'm only going to ASSUME that they hurt only because i wore them in my house for a few hours.. walked around and boy my Achilles were SHOT!.. they were done but I LOVE THEM AND intend to wear them A LOT! :)


Where do i shop for shoes...
