I Heart Shoes!

HI Prettiness! It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood...and mama is feelin good! It's been hectic since moving and a little heart procedure didn't help the stress...but now I am back, and ehhh 80% and I feel like I'm back on top ... b*t*chessss....ha!

Like the norm dailycraziness is poured out by the gallons around here, and I am finally happy to say that I think my mind went to retail therapy mode! This happens a few times a year and I am freakin stoked at the finds I came home with! Oh yeah and the amazing amounts of money I spent for all my stuff!

I went with a mission, a mission to buy a watch. Plural. Just one. Mission Failed-Miserably! Let me tell you...I did buy just one watch....I also bought just one ring, one necklace,one pair of earrings, one leather vest, one sweater shirt, two shirts, 4 pairs of shoes, and one pair of slippers for my honey.

I figured since I couldn't wear the shoes last week, is the main reason behind my little saleshoespree...I can't think of anything else besides the fact that I have this disease...

I am sure I am not the only reader with this addiction.

This is what I got boys and girls, ladies and gents...

Boots-Are awesome. And the honey says that they make me the hottest girl in PA.

Snake skin- I've been told in the ONE day that I have worn them, they look like they cost $200...ha!

L-O-V-E IT!

Tweeds- I got these because they were on clearance for $4.99. Yep! So then, I went on a frenzy around the store looking for all clearance shoes....when I found these :

And...It made me want to do this :

I didn't though!

Well, is it time for new shoes to be thrown your way??

Fab Finds Friday

Ola my lilsugarpies! Its Friday! And I am laggin around this office today, just about as much as I am on a Monday. Yesterday got busy...trust me you have NO idea* but yes, sorry I didn't post AGAIN! But hey, better than never! However, I have incorporated yesterday's post in to today's post...you see I was planning on doing a ThriftStoreThursday post...but let's be flexible people, my life is insane as of the late. Thanks :)
Anywho, we will call this the Friday Fab Finds outfit.
You see, I am a deal finder. A deal maker.
And a dealer breaker, that means, when there is haggling involved I usually come out on top. Which is why I L-O-V-E to share these amazing finds with ya, you see friends help friends out!
Thrift stores are the best places to find amazing vintage finds, and even new clothes at a cheapa*s price. 

Here in the bay Crossroads, is an amazing thrift store I love to get lost in. They are as picky about their clothes, as I am as picky about people who don't have respect...you ain't got it...I don't want it.
So, take a look and see what they have, if your not in the bay check your local listings for a consignment boutique...you will not leave disappointed or empty handed. 

Promise.

Leather Bomber : $8

Shirt : $6 (still had the original tags on it)

Skirt : $5

Shoes : I bought these new, JUST because they were amazing and only $15!

Fab Finds Friday outfit total : $34 and probably one of my favs!

Necklace : Gifted from the M-I-L (totally me and I soo love it!) 

I can't even begin to explain the many ways that these shoes are ahhhmazing!

Love them!

Lovin my snakeskin bracelets right now...I have been pairing them with everything!

So there you have it. I can't say that I know how I come across the deals I do, but I do know that there are deals to be found. Always remember my favoritealltimesaying :

THE SHY GO HUNGRY!


If you don't ask you don't receive people. It's that simple.



To end this Friday post... 

I found this SKITTLES commercial...it was Banned...so don't watch if the picture on your ID is still on the right side.

Really? Taste the Rainbow?

 I gotta go! 

Tootles.

Hey hey hey, you prettylittlesugarplumfaces! I hope your day is going as aahhhmazing as mine. If not grab a cup of joe and relax, we have some good things for you this lovely morning. You see today is a good day. Why? Just because It is!! No special reason but there is enough reason to say that the sun is shining, these gorgeous skies are clear, there are no crows in sight and thisprettylitttlelady has a smile on her face from ear to ear!

You see peeps...today marks the 6 day count down for moving in to our house.   I can't freaking wait and my co-workers can't either, one more hotel shat story and I think they'll hurl me off the roof (If I have to hear another, you will see me doing this to myself!).  But, needless to say, today we get to bid adieu to our lovely hotelmotelholidayinn...yack! And we will be house sitting for some really awesome people who we absolutely love and adore! Oh yeah, and their pups too!

 So, I look at it this way : Phase 2 of Phase 3 down...we are one step closer to our house!

This "move" out of this hotel room prompted me to spring in to full freak out mode about the amounts of crap I have. You see I am in the "get the ish out of my life mode" ... and that friends can include just about anything. So tabulatejewlerymission went off, with-out a hitch, and I found a lot of awesomely fabulous pieces that I've been missing out on wearing! And just in case you were wondering, yes, I brought it ALL with me just so I wouldn't have an madmananxietyattack because I was missing my tinsel.... you see, it helps me shine.

My Jewels Stash...

Found a bag of vintage jewelry, justaboutfreaked&peedmypants!

Can't wait to pair that fabulousness with the amazingness I already have.

 *Bangles are definitely a DO*

&
 Never forget the pearls...or to LOVE!

So sweet peas. I am tickled that I got a chance to show you my tinsel...and it was an awesome feeling to purge all the ish that I don't need! I am so looking forward to heading over to this pageofgoodiesandshimmer. I plan to spice up my jewlery heap by adding this budget friendly yet ahhmazing finds, to my fall wardrobe:

Officially infatuated with them all...and it will total less than $80 bucks! Yep, just like that! All up in youaface!
Well, kids...
Two things before I leave:

One I am not done with you today, Blogger.

Yes, be looking for the Thrift Store Fashion for today's main blog.
We have some fun vintageness that we found at ahhmazing prices.

Two, Remember "money doesn't buy you class" bahaha, no matter how hard you try!

Cheers!

HotelMotelHolidayINN

 Well hello there you smilinglittlesugarplums...Life has been a little more than crazy in our neck of the woods. Actually, it was idiotic,insane,kookiness!

Our life has changed immensely over the course of 3 months. We've got a LOT of good ish in our corner, and you can bet your pretty little bum that we are over the moon about the new changes and exciting times coming....first things first...I missed you! Ok, now on to the real issue at hand.

Welp! WE GOT A HOUSE! It is amazing, with a big back and front yard, fruit trees (one with a tree house!!) and less than 5 minutes to the beach. It is purelyawesome! So, here's the thing, as we all know, nothing happens magically, so while we wait for our house to be ready, we are in Limbo...

All in all, We knew we would have to move, simply because our apartments smelled like crow ish (and so did the manager's mouth), and it was actually all over....it was like walking through this each time I got out of my car....or get the mail...or walk the dog....or just do do anything...

Yeah. Um. NO MO!

Take your crap Marina Cove...and shove it.

#SorryhadtoVent, just believe me when I say to NEVER EVER even THINK about living here!

So, being the CRAP apartments they are, we were left with basically a Hotel as a house for the next 17 days, as they pre-leased our apartment. Yeah, I told them I preleased their a**hole...for MY FOOT! They didn't like that too much but, we we wern't worried about that, we had to concoct a plan to get the BraLito household move underway.

So....we got a S.A.M. If you don't have a SAM, well you don't have a SAM, but let me tell you SAM is Amazingballs compared to the other smack out there.

Meet SAM:

With help of some dayworkers...and some cash later, they turned this:

IN TO THIS:

IT WAS PURELY AWESOMENESS! (so were the margaritas after)

So, now we are staying close to our home in a hotelmotelholidayinn. Oh yeah!  Let me tell you,  I have had WAY WAY WAY too many convos with the "hotel locals" and while I will spare you ALL the details, let's get a quick little run down, of why I feel like showering after each conversation.

So just for your info, if you find yourself living at a hotel, while in between nests, or just because you want to try it out....please remember these bits of advise:

• Two men who are wearing the same clothing, glasses, and haircuts, in a white SUV are either US Marshalls, or just major CH*DES!
• If you have to do laundry and there is one washer, per one dryer. Don't be a Raider hater and run up when you see and hear that I am going to the dryer, and put 4 "pieces" of clothing in and not turn it on! Stright up, I'm drying children's clothes, and your tainting them with your hooker outfit!
• Remember the people that you are talking to have not known you forever, so don't take offense when I puke all over YOUR FACE because you decided to share the story of how you shat yourself. Lady! Yes, LADY! That story WAS NOT NEEDED!
• You also should wait till your fiancee of 2 DAYS is out of earshot!

Well, that's my babble for the day. I will be posting some more hotel funnies, and some hotel couture as well. You know me and my clothes, so packing all of my things, leaving a select few out was very difficult for me. So difficult, I started throwing in random pieces of clothing just to feel like I had a heavy suitcase. Lesson learned here: Don't forget to ask for a bell boy.  

Toodles,

*Dani*

Sky high legs

Hi there you little sugarplums!

Hope the sunshine has brought out the smilesandhappydances for you! The weather has been most awesomely fabulous and I have been enjoying wearing the other half of my closet...problem is, I have way too many things I want to wear! You see when I was a little girl, if I wanted to wear 2 different things the problem was simple to tackle...put both on. (Yes, I do remember a time when I was told to get undressed for a bath, and finally after taking off the 9th pair of underwear, I was able to jump in! 9 pairs!!) However, now at my age I'm thinking that I will stick to laying for fashion purposes only! That ish can be deadly.

So this outfit is what inspired my bloggie blog here today. I abs loved this outfit, and will def be wearing all these items again! I've had this skirt for a good few months now, and this was its first trip out of my closet. I have to say that I do love my legs. Not only are they tan and silky but they look about a half a mile long, yes, this is an outfit fav of mine for sure. I know that missy Ava was so tickled by it, she informed me she would be stealing my shoes when she gets older...then she stated, "Let’s take a picture, mom!"

This was the outcome :

Wearing : Shirt : De Masque - Skirt : De Masque - Shoes : Charlotte Russe

I had such a good photographer :

She didn't want to stop taking pictures :

Then I got the camera back and snapped one of her :

Isn't she perfect?

Welp, that's about it. Remember know how to walk in your shoes before walking out in the world...otherwise you'll end up like this chick:

Ouch!

Things Just got real. No editing allowed

So, It's Monday! No mustaches today. Nope. Sorry. Today I grace your mind with realism. I have a lot to say, and a lot of things that often are left festering up in my mind, which is one reason I have this bloggie blog here. With that said, I do try to find some happyhappyjoyjoy things to amuse you with, while also giving you a little dose of reality squeezed in. So, here goes it...

I have been thinking a lot recently about relationships. Not mine with my boo (we are fabulous, thank you, always have been, always will be), relationships with friends, co workers, family, people outside of our immediate household, and the way that a traditional relationship should work.

According to the worldwideweb and most of the peeps out there in this insanity, most people believe relationships should be 50/50. However, I think it needs to be 100/100. How are you supposed to have a relationship with someone who is only willing to put in half of the work? Why are you constantly challenged to put forth your all in the relationship when the other does not reciprocate?

In this crazyinsaneworld we all get busy, we all have lives, families, jobs, obligations, and priorties. With understanding that, when we get so caught up and forget to call just to say, "Hi," why is it, that the other person is upset because you have not called or made plans. Is it right for them to be upset? NO. In a 100/100 relationship you both have the ability to pick up the phone and call. You BOTH have the ability to take the step in "watering" your relationship in hopes that it "grows."  But do you really want to put in that effort to watch your friendship bloom? Or are you, in it for when it is convient for you? Because FYI convience and relationships is no way to nurture something, it is a way to slaughter it.

So it is at this point in my life, that I ask myself : How much do I give and give just to be put on the back burner? When am I allowed to called this so-called "relationship" quits? When will this person stop making everything about them, and actually put some effort in our relationship?

: When am I allowed to walk away and never look back? :

And the answer is : Now!

After way to many attempts, as a human, you are allowed to back out. You are not admitting defeat, you are simply letting others know that your relationships that you currently have, are real, and will never be based on convience, judging, games or spite.

As for me : I don't have to participate in relationships that out of convience. I participate in relationships that are recriprocated. I don't have to help others just because I am a nice person. I want to help others because I am a good person. I may not have a thousand friends. But the friends and family I do have (ones that have shown our relationship is NOT based on convience...you know who you are) are genuine, loyal, honest, and up front. No games are played, and no sides are taken. All who want the relationship, participate, and they participate 120%. It is part of being an adult, part of being a person with morals, and values. I know these kind of people are hard to come across these days, but look hard enough and out of every onehundredpeople, I bet you will find one that may meet this criteria. Good luck in your search!

T is for....

Well, yesterday was Mustache Monday, and according to Khloe Kardashian its Tit Slip Tuesday! (Sorry for the vulgarity, but if she can let it slip on TV; a few words can slip here) But seriously Khloe, that little stunt might have upped your Google results and helped you "promote" whatever it is that you are, but for the viewers who saw that crap on TV this am we all had to wash our eyes with disinfectant....twice! And to answer your question, yes, they still are burning. Are you sure you want to see this ish??

Didn't think so! When I tried uploading it, this picture took it's place!If you didn't notice there is an ERROR message written all over it!
No really though, I didn't post this pic because I don't want you hurling on your keyboard! Next time Khloe keep your tit in your top.

Well friends, today I needed a little pep in my step so I threw on these fav shoes of mine. We became buds a year ago in Vegas, and these shoes have never let me down :

You see, Mr. Guess and I are best friends now (yeah it took a year or so) and when he thinks I need to add a little pop to my step he has exactly what I am longing for! Leopard-check! Hot factor-+10 Price of wearing these amazing shoes-huh! priceless. So add a little funk in your day...get yourself to a Guess Store! You won't be disappointed!

So as for Day 11 of the now 60 day challenge (it was 30!), has been done A LOT! Day 11 challenge was to post a recent picture of yourself, in this case myself! Well, as most of you know I am pretty awkward when it comes to taking pictures of myself, and I think that after you got a whole montage yesterday you should be pretty satisfied with the amount of times you have seen my face this week. Besides I like to be more vivacious and less ostentatious! It makes the soul happier and your face prettier! Get some! Well, folks we skip...to...

: DAY 12 :

A song I want played at my wedding :

I'm giving this one up Jay, just because you have NO idea how sweet it is to be loved by you!

Well, that's it!! Enjoy your Thirsty Tuesday, Tasty Tuesday, Tit pop Tuesday, whatever this Tuesday is for you Enjoy it! Smile, be happy, be kind. I'm out.
