May Factor: Shoes

Happy May! 

To be honest, I really like this month, it is the fact that the season are really starting to change and you can feel it at night with the cool wind and the chilly feeling you get. I am still waiting for it to be a lot more cold but I'll take that over supper hot summer days. Totally not a fan of hot days because I certainly don't know what other piece of clothing to take off and not be completely butt naked (as a figure of speech) 

With May comes the mark of the middle of the semester too. MIDTERMS month. just for the first week of it. not a fan in that matter but that means less time to go until middle year break. Yes here we do it differently. 

A couple days ago I went out for what seemed a long time since I went and have some drinks and have a nice time with my friends. Seriously. It was great to catch up and share some laughs. 

What I noticed. I spent too much time with very comfortable shoes and zero heels last month, which have caused a serious problem with my feet. I can't stand in heels for more than 3 hours without my toes hurting for being trapped in a shoe jail. 

That was it. I need a change. I want more heels than flats to wear almost regularly. I have now a fair share of flats. Almost too many. But (there is always a but) I need heel intervention so all my shoes are coming out for stroll in the city for work, university, you name it. 

May is going to be a good month. I can feel it. And my heels and I will love it.

Beauty Vlogger Boot Camp: And then there were 2

Hey Everyone!

The final 2 are already here!, Rachel and Giselle, shocker to not be seeing Shanice in the finalists, but the tie-breaker was the decision maker and she was not even close to the retail price of the whole amount of products in the last challenge. 

For the final episode, the audience is going to have to vote for the one who will be the next beauty vlogger. They will have to make a beauty/fashion vlog showing up their real and true capacities that we haven't been able to see that much of through the competition. Nerves and time pressure are just not the best companions. 

AND SHANE DAWSON IS ON THE FINAL EPISODE AS SHANAYNAY! (WHO'S EXCITED? I AM I AM!!) 

I am so looking forward to the final and see who wins.

I leave you with this weeks episode! Enjoy! 

who do you think will win? Rachel or Giselle?

Beauty Vlogger Boot camp: Hauls in heels

Hey Everyone! 

Running in heels is not fun, specially when they are like sky high tall. This week in BVB, the final 3 contestants had to do so, while shopping, under a 3 minute limit. I was perplex, but I have had to run in heels, and let me tell you, it was just for emergency purposes, not to go grab a shade of nail polish. Of course Elle and Blair didn't expect the results to be that bad and to have a 3 way tie. It is not an easy challenge, therefore I respect the contestants even more now! 

If I had to run, in a store to grab beauty products, let me tell you...I will take my heels of! I think some of them thought about it, but since it's called, Hauls in Heels...well, there was no point in contradicting the challenge. I had a lot of fun watching this episode, specially because of the faces they were doing, it went all from happy to dragging and smooshed. 

Here is the episode if you missed it! the elimination will be next Tuesday! Let's see what happens then! 

have a great day! and the WEEKEND IS COMING!

talk to you real soon <3

Happy New Year! 2012

So it's about to be 2012 here where I am at! I can't wait now! SO EXCITED 

I hope the year 2011 was awesome for you and that you achieved your goals and kept your last year's resolutions and build new dreams from the ones you achieved. 

I hope that 2012 is much better than the last and that you can continue enjoying live at the fullest. Say "I love you" more to the people you love and make sure that it shows, it's more than just looking and them and taking it  for granted because they might just not know how much they mean to you.

Build new friendships and make the ones you already have stronger than ever. Family is the most important thing here, make them your priority because you might not know how much time left with them you are going to have, cherish each and every small second with them and spread the love around you, fight less and make people know they are beautiful inside and that is a lot more important than just looks. 

And feel pretty, feel beautiful and compliment it by how you look from the outside. 

Have a very happy new year with the ones you love and pray for those who are not physically here with you, because they are going to be definitely with you through your life as your guardian angels. 

Remember, make love, not war. Johnn Lennon is a Legend for that, and he was so right. 

Blessings, love and Happiness,

Shoes, shoes and more shoes! Part 2: Fun Colours

Some women are just sceptical about wearing fun colours on their feet and some are just more daring and go for the craziest ones. Every single one of you, at least once, had thought that you should pump up your shoe closet with those bright colours, but just backed up because you didn't thought that it would go well with the clothes you have.

Any plain outfit can be really well complemented by a fun shoe and will make it stand up and look a lot dressed up or dressed down. And now that you have your basic shoe guide, I think that having a fun shoe guide can help you grab the courage you need to spice up your outfits. 

At some point you will want to have a Red Shoe, red shoes are great to combine when you have an all black outfit or really nude outfit. The pop of colour that it brings to it just makes you look more daring and will turn the looks, maybe at first some people just wont notice, but with the attitude that you'll be given by the simple fact that you ARE wearing them, people will start noticing. Remember, the shoes are the stars of that outfit and you have to give them their place. 

I found these gorgeous pair of red pumps

 

which are from Lanvin and are red patent and suede high heels  and the silhouette they have will make your feet look a lot refined and slimmer giving you that extra boost of confidence.




Another fun colour to rock for Fall is an emerald green. It is such a nice colour that will turn heads and just make you feel the Queen of the place you are at.


For example this one here, which is a high heeled, hidden platform pumps that will make your legs elongated and your figure more lean
. 


A colour that I have always been eyeing is bubblegum, Barbie like shoes just because they are fun, girly and flirty all the way.


Christian Laboutin has the best pair I have seen, peep toed and beautiful.





Yellow shoes, yes YELLOW. They are the colour of the sun and it will brighten the day way better cause you have a small portion of the sun with you.

And it's never too much to go eye some rainbow fun and young shoes because at the end of every rainbow there is a jackpot waiting for you to get it if you follow it. 

Once again...Laboutins 

Sky high heels are the best friends of girls around the world, make sure you love what you wear, and the most important thing... adopt your shoes personality and you'll have the right attitude to get them right at once. 

Hope you guys liked this post!

Shoes, shoes and more shoes! Part 1: Basics

I have a lot to love about life, specially if you have to walk your way with it. Shoes are essential for this task and it doesn't matter if they are flats, or skyhigh heels, the shoes are girls best companions.

Heels will make you look slimmer and give you the curves that you like and will complement your outfit and make it to die for. Heels elongate the figure and give the height that you die to have. Flats make you feel comfortable for everyday and to run errands and wonder around town with friends and family. As you may feel fond to just a certain pair in your closet, call it your "life-partner", you can't get enough of your old, lovable other pairs.

For me, an essential to have in your closet is a pair of black pumps. They are always going to fit in perfectly with any outfit you put together for a night out or just hit the city with style. I love the Steve Madden brand and they have a huge variety of pumps that you can choose from here is one of them.

Another essential you ought to have, is a pair of nude princess cut shoes, they are stylish and classic and are never out of season. The Queen of England and they royals love have these because they give the classy feel to an outfit. 

For flats you should find those that are going to make you feel comfortable and just add that sense of being at home without wearing a pair of sleeping slippers. I found this beautiful pair of Tory Burch flats in brown and just felt that they called "urban home" for you to wear them: 

I hope you enjoy this post! and keep an eye on the other parts of this series called Shoes, shoes and more shoes!
