Day 11: Oxford Booties

Hello Divas!

I hope you had a fabulous Thanksgiving Day!  I am still stuffed from yesterday, but I have lots of food to nibble on for the next few days.

Chamele loves Oxford Booties. I do too!

 

The oxford is one of this seasons biggest trends. Last season found young ladies in flat oxfords and no socks  with dresses and pants alike. This season's trend combines the bootie of past seasons and the lace-up oxford for the ultimate in menswear inspired dressing- the oxford bootie. While I find the flat oxfords absolutely adorable, I tend to stick to heels.  Even at 5'7 I am still on a quest to elongate my legs.

 

A good friend with an amazing shoe closet purchased a pair of lace-up oxfords to wear with jeans and button-downs. She picked an incredible wine color that was sporty and unique. I was green with envy at her wine colored purchase, the Nine West Trixy shown below.  The Trixy is a lace up oxford with a 3. 5 inch heel. It comes black leather, dark gray and  brown leathers $87.16 at Zappo's.

 

Some other spins on the trend include the Maria Sharapova by Cole Haan "Air Swan" Oxford Pump, $228.00 at Dillards. The Air Swan is a patent leather version of the oxford bootie that is topped with the velvet bow. A great dress-up shoe to keep the tickies warm. 

 

Anthropologie also carries a purple suede oxford, the Caladoc Heel, for $228.00.

 

Fun Fridays! Free Breakfast and Gifts with Purchase

Hello Divas!

Whoohoo it is Friday! Yeah! There are two events that I am so excited to share with you lovely people. This weekend Ikea is at is again. They are offering FREE Breakfast this holiday weekend while you shop. I hear the breakfast is really good! They are also having a sale on all of their kitchen items. This promotion begins Saturday, October 11th and ends on Monday October 13th.

Now for my absolute fav promotion. So geeked to share. Dillard's is offering a free gift with any Lancome purchase of $29.50. My girlfriend Renee and I went shopping for makeup and we ended up at the Lancome counter. Um the Photogenic foundation is ridiculously flawless...I will do a review in a later post. The gift with purchase we received contained:

travel-size Absolue Premium Bx Cream SPF 15
travel-size High Resolution Collaser-5X™ Intense Collagen Anti-Wrinkle Serum
Color Design Eye Shadow Quartet
Color Design Sensational Effects Lipcolor
Definicils Mascara

The travel sizes are huge...and the eye shadow quartet contains colors to create a dramatic or soft smokey eye and a nice pink color. Plus all of the products come in a nice black or red leather makeup case that has a matching coin purse. Seriously, I felt like I hit the jackpot with this free gift. Plus, we received a bonus gift that included a sample of the new Lancome Parfum Magnifique, a sample of Cils Booster XL (an eyelash primer) and another eyeshadow quartet! I am in Lancome heaven right now. Visit any Dillard's near you or you can make a purchase online here to receive your free gift. It is so worth it!
