Finally found a nice peachy color for summer. Compared to Essie's "A Crewed Interest" this has more of an orange tone in it while Essie has more of a pink tone.

UPDATE! DUPE Dilemma: Isabel Marant Sneakers

I love my sneakers but only for the gym..otherwise you can find me in my heels, wedges or boots! But these bad boys change up the whole game...they're awesome looking...now if only I could do something about that $950 price tag...

Esther Boutique plus dupes!

Let me start off real quick by saying this post is not a paid ad by this boutique...hell i wish it was b/c every single piece is absolutely gorgeous!

I came across their website while pinning some super cute outfits on Pinterest. I noticed each outfit had the same model and realized these outfits were pinned off of a website. Esther Boutique is based in Australia so international shipping is $30!!!

The only drawback besides their prices is they do not seem to sell the accessories they use for each of their outfits! :( I am in love with each necklace, earring and belt I've seen. If I could buy the whole website I would haha.

Here are a few super cute outfits that I will try to replicate in the meantime with a few dupes!...sighhh

F21 Blazer
$24.50

LC for Kohls
$42


$17.80









Anyone happen to have any experience ordering off this website? 
How were the quality of the pieces? Were they worth the money?

..."Every pretty girl deserves to go to a ball."

One of the funniest lines from Jim Carrey's 'Yes Man' movie.

But who would've thought I'd get a chance to go to the 47th Annual Petroushka Ball at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC which benefits the Russian Children's Welfare Society.


I had only a month to find a gown and I was on a strict $200 budget. And from my experience...the hard part isn't coming across beautiful gowns..the hard part is sticking to a budget and finding a gown that does NOT go over that said budget.

I had searched everywhere...in every dept and every dress store, during every sale...I eventually moved my search online...and BINGO! I found it! And let me tell you...when you know you KNOW. I had come across a few really pretty gowns but when I saw this one I just KNEW IT. :)






DECODE 1.8 Bow-Waisted Gown
$184 on Sale

Unfortunately, only size 0 is left. :(

As for the accessories, since I went with a black gown I wanted a pop of color. I instantly thought of Angelina Jolie at the 2009 Oscars.


So I was on the hunt for emerald tear drop earrings. I went with RenttheRunway.com and rented these Kenneth Jay Lane Emerald Teardrops for $25! These sell for $100+ !
