My Style Diary: 8/22/12

 

What I'm Wearing:
1. Wrap Dress: All Saints
2. Strappy Heels: Michael Kors

I wanted to show you guys an outfit I wore a few weeks back for a party, but I'm sure you could already tell these were a little old by the shots with solid blonde. Better late than never [not a question, that's a fact- ALL SAINTS IS ALWAYS ACCEPTABLE]. What's even better? All Saints on Sale. I had my eye on this dress for months, so imagine my surprise when I found it hidden in the corner && extremely discounted [it went a little something like 'omg, omg, get in my closet'].

My outfit posts are getting exponentially sillier with every attempt- OMG JUST LOVE CLOTHES AND BLOGGING SO MUCH, CAN'T STOP SMILING.

^I wish that was sarcastic. Be back with a new look soon!

PS- speaking of 'looks'... that's your hint for my new website :) The idea I've been working on all year will be FINALLY done in a week or so and I can't wait for you to see it!

Favorites videos are some of my favorites to watch [I like them so much I can't think of a better word]. I like to research products before I purchase them, so video and blog reviews are a huge help- that's how I found two of my current faves featured in this post! My pre-summer planning found that 93 percent of users recommended the Vaseline lotion, while the other 7 percent were the crazy women shouting 'screw the lotion! Just bring 50 shades of Grey to the beach!' [so, yeah, I went with the lotion]. My other favorite recommendation? Chanel Peridot. Yeah, yeah. A year late. ..very fashionably late. 

What were your stand out summer favs? Any upcoming obsessions? Check out my last post featuring my favorite new shoes if you're looking for something to spark[le] your fall interest :) 

Favorite Fall Shoes

Sparkling in September by carlycristman featuring leather sandals

Items Shown [Linked Where Available]

1. RED Valentino Mary Jane Pumps

2. Nanette Lepore Love-Struck Sandal

3. Pink Sprinkles Heel

4. Miu Miu Glitter Heel Bootie

I think it's quite obvious why these shoes are my top picks for fall. While I love metallics and sparkles year round, I especially love them paired up with colder weather clothing [My winter wardrobe usually consists of 'all black errthang', so these heels add the perfect pop of personality] [alliteration is sexy]. 

Confession time: The first two pairs may or may not be on their way to my apartment. I also may or may not have a problem. I'm currently straddling a fine Miu Miu line between "buy, buy, buy" and "but what about your bills?", but, hey- who needs electricity when your shoes can just light up the room?

Do you have any favorites for fall? Let me know what you're currently obsessing over!
