Bringing on the Bling ~ Sequins

Jan 082012

I am not the traditional style blogger in the sense that many of these fabulous fashionistas put on their flare & then photograph themselves showing off the look. I of course am in love with my shoes & rarely share my photo on my blog. However, I love to be a part of something fun so when I discovered that Kristina over at Pretty Shiny Sparkly was doing an activity called Bloggers Do It Better….well, hello! I had to jump on board & of course, I was the late comer (aren’t you supposed to be fashionably late to parties)

I thought I’d missed it but she let me know there was still time to join the fun. So, without further ado, here is me in my sequins.

Glad I got to be a part of the fun.

What I’m wearing: Sequined see through tank from Forever XXI (got it off the clearance rack). Hello Skinny Jeans (got those on sale too at Kits Well Heeled & Well Dressed) and Sam Edelman Quebec shoes (got them on sale too of course)

The look above is more for the evening, before I realized she was doing this challenge, I was sporting one of my favorite hats….which happens to be sequined. So I’m adding that to show you that you can be blinged out even during the work day.

I am addicted to my fan page on Facebook I look forward to interacting with my peeps each day. I typically say I don’t post on the weekends but lately I’ve found that I’ve been checking in a little more. Today I was blogging, tweeting & all those other social networking things that end in ING and then I started thinking. Yeah, I know, that can be dangerous but I realized that I have quite a few people that I know directly or that fall into the 6 degrees of separation that are involved in marketing fashion. I have decided to share a them with you.

Mookie Clothing – Get your fitness fashion fix here. This company is owned by Sarah Reeves Connelly, she & I once upon a time did fitness competitions together. She has taken her passion for fitness to a new level by offering some cool fashions to get your body in shape.

Mosh Posh – This cute consignment shop has it all. It’s owned by Lauren Basil and I met her because I’m nosey LOL, seriously, she had some cute shoes in her window & is located in the same plaza as another friend that I’ll get to later. Anyway, she offers a large selection of True Religion jeans as well as a host of other highly recognizable high end fashions. They are all authentic and all on consignment.

mosh posh

Busy BEA Shoes – Ok, I don’t actually know her personally but she falls into the 6 degrees of separation rule. This company is owned by Britt Erekson & let me tell you this lady has some moxie! I like it! She posted something to my facebook fan page & I removed it and let me tell you that she called me on it. :-) I took a look at her shoes & they are feminine and affordable! You gotta love that mix.

Pieces With Purpose – I can honestly say that the women that own this company are compassionate, caring & dedicated. This company is owned by Amy Lerom (who is called Mama Lerom by my son) and Lauren Goodhart Murray (another Mama to my son). These are Plant High Football moms & there is a special place in our hearts for Plant. Their company offers shirts with bling! They wholesale these lovely shirts leaving something on the table for fundraisers to use for their causes. They create all kinds of cuteness! See my profile pic in the Gators dress? They did that. :-)

Fetch.Fur.Love. – Yes, I know it’s not your traditional fashion but the pet lovers out there will appreciate it. Owned by Rickena Perry, this little joint is always jumping….with furry friends. She even has a Yappy Hour! That cracks me up! Rickenas shop is next door to Mosh Posh. I met Rickena because….well, I’m nosey. LOL, I was looking at the spot that now houses Mosh Posh and walked into her doggie boutique a little more than a year ago & she was so helpful that we became instant friends.

I hope that you all will visit these fan pages and know that wherever you are, these fashionistas have something to offer. Afterall, we’re all just one UPS shipment away right?

Happy Shopping!

Friday: Fashion on the Street

I have never met a stranger, I stop women randomly on the street and compliment shoes, clothes and anything else I think makes them look great. Sooo, I decided to take my new video camera out with me and check out what people were wearing. I encountered Claudia who was visiting the States from Germany. She was not only looking great in her casual wear but she was also gracious and patient as I fumble with my new camera. We had a laugh at my expense but still captured her great look. I hope to bring you more fashion from the street each Friday. Without further adieu, here is Claudia and her silver accents.

Talk of the Town

I am a firm believer in giving back, I do what I can wherever I can to add value to my community. If I can find a way to give something back then that is exactly what I do. If I can get something in return, that also makes me happy, but the primary goal is not to gain but to give. Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting Elena Minton, the owner of a cute shop in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida (not St. Pete Beach, you’ll understand that after you watch the video) called Talk of the Town and she is sponsoring a purse drive for a group called CASA. CASA has a mission of creating a community without violence. The purses will help those that are affected by domestic violence.

The purse drive will take place on Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 6:30p.m. where she will have appetizers, wine and a couple of beauty consultants on hand to teach us all a few things. For bringing your lightly used purses, Talk of the Town will give you a coupon for $5 off of your purchase that evening. This may not seem like a lot to you but when you think of the overall big picture, this is plenty. For such a worthy cause, I say, pay full price and let Elena donate the additional $5 to help those trying to get a fresh start. I hope you can attend and if you are out of the area, CASA has a way for you to still help. I am certain there are worthy causes in your area where you can shop and help at the same time. Happy shopping!

Mad About Madden

The women came early, stood in line for over an hour, music was blaring and it was almost like a rock concert. Steve Madden came to Tampa and the shoe groupies were out in force. Unfortunately, I was not able to personally make it but that doesn’t mean there were no eyes & ears on the scene. I was judging a step contest, I was entertained and had a great time.

My fellow shoe lover Shana was there and gave me blow by blow updates. I even got a countdown! 30 more minutes & the DJ is rockin’, 15 more minutes and Julissa Bermudez from 106 & Park is here, 5 more minutes and he just walked through the crowd. It was sweet torture! A pair of shoes were given away and a 10 year old won, the women were not happy. LOL

Here is my roving reporter and the pictures. She had a great time, I had a great time hearing about it. Thanks so much Shana for being my eyes & ears.
