Nude Pumps (and a pair of Booties to boot!)

I have a wedding coming up in November that has forced me to find a cute pair of shoes (yes, forced).  I'm going to wear a navy blue dress I picked up in Zara, that has a somewhat high neckline, so I wanted some really sexy shoes.  Everything in stores that I liked were $120 and up and I just didn't feel like going that route.  So I ended up finding a pair of really sexy platform pumps on Ebay for about $30!

Nude platforms from Ebay...$30!

They are super tall and the height makes them extra sassy, which is perfect for my somewhat reserved dress.  All in all, not a bad purchase.  These remind of of the Steve Madden super high patent pumps that are in stores right now.


A few months ago I was shopping in Zara (I work downtown and go there on my lunch break waaay too often).  Anyways I found a pair of super-cute booties with a bit of a wedge heel that I fell in love with.  They only had a size 7 and 8 left so sadly I had to leave without them. But then about two weeks later they got in a nine and I was sold! I love how they can be paired with some leggings and a tunic or skinny jeans and a blazer.  They're so versatile and really comfy! ($69 Cdn)

My new Zara booties!

YSL Arty Turquoise Imitation Ring

I really enjoy YSL's rings.  They're chunky,bold and just gorgeous as can be.  Sadly, they are a tad out of my price range right now.  I do think I will get one at some point in the future but for right now I have to pass..

As you can see, they are wonderful and extremely unique.  They tend to be in the $300 price range, and can reach up to $500+ on Ebay. However, in my searches, I came across a few "fakes" that were actually quite nice.  SO I placed an order ($19.50 including shipping to Canada) and I was pleasantly surprised when I received it (see my pic below):



My new ring!



The metal is somewhat shiny, but it's quite nice in my opinion.  The stone doesn't look like real turquoise, but some of the YSL stones look quite like imitation stones as well.  Anyways, it will do for now until I can one day afford a genuine one.  If you want your own imitation ring you can find them on Ebay under "chunky stone ring" or "arty stone ring". OR if you've got more of a jingle in your pocket you can purchase the real deal here:http://www.ysl.com/en_US/shop-products/Women/Jewelry/Rings

OH.MY.GOOOOOSH!

I have not posted in MONTHS! A lot has been going on with me so I do believe I have some excuses.  I moved out at the end of the summer with my boyfriend.  We decided it was about time and decided to go for it.  We actually decided to rent the first place we saw.  It's the first floor of a nice home in Toronto that we just fell in love with and that we had to snag because so many other people were planning on viewing it.  It's a small two bedroom, with a walk in closet off of the second room. It's really ideal for us right now.  I also got a full time job that I am enjoying so much!  I am an administrative assistant for a medical company and It's going well.  They're even paying me to take a course for web design in January, and I get to travel across Canada for some of our events.


So that is just a bit of an update.  Chances are I will try to update every now any then *BUT* I don't actually have internet at home (or cable for that matter) so I will probably do a few posts on the same day and then nothing for a while.

Thanks for reading!
