no girl can have too many shoes


Recently I found out that Nastygal was having a giveaway! Nastygal will pick one winner and that winner can chose a any shoe each month, from their website, and they'll get it...for free! I thought that was amazing. Think about it. A new shoe each month...from Nastygal. I thought I would share the shoes that I would choose if I were picked. (Don't worry, I only listed 8 not 12 haha)

1. Helga Platform Boot by Deandri (get yours here)
This boot was actually intimidating at first but, when I saw the fashion citizen (on youtube) rave about these shoes, it started to grow on me. It's definitely out there but I think it'll work with many different outfits. It's simple yet sophisticated, which is something I love. I think the colour of these boots just scream spring to me, don't you guys think?

2. Big Foxy Platform by Jeffrey Campbell (get yours here)
These are definitely a classic. I find these type of shoes an essential in any girl's closet. These could be worn to a casual or formal dinner as well as a night on the town. I think these could even be worn for job interviews! Jeffrey Campbell is known for incredibly outrageous yet comfortable shoes, and these are ones that shouldn't be missed.

3. Stunner Platform by Jeffrey Campbell (get yours here)
Another JC shoe! The first time I saw these was on sunbeamsjess (on youtube) Birthday haul and ever since then, these were on my list of shoes to get. They're so casual and I think you could wear them with pretty much anything! They remind me of mary janes, but a JC version haha. 

4. Audrey Spike Wedge by Jeffrey Campbell (get yours here)
I actually didn't notice how 90% of the shoes I have my eye on are Jeffrey Campbells...oops! Once again, I came across these type of shoes on sunbeamsjess's JC collection. At first, I thought they were a little odd, because I never liked plastic on a shoe but I realized it looked fine on. I personally prefer wedges over pumps and these I could wear in a casual or formal occasion. 

5. Nita Velvet Oxford by Miista (get yours here)
I'm not really a huge oxfords fan, but this colour is gorgeous. I saw these shoes on Solestruck's instagram and fell in love! I personally adore velvet and this oxblood red made this shoe amazing. The tiny starts on the shoe aren't tacky and the little gold cross is like a cherry on top for this shoe. When I saw that they were on sale I knew I had to get my hands on it. Sadly...my size is gone :(

6. Coltrane Cutout Boot by Jeffrey Campbell (get yours here)
Haha, another JC shoe. Actually, though, I think these Coltranes are kind of a replica of the Givenchy shoes? I saw Miley Cyrus wear something that were similar to the Coltranes and told myself that I needed a pair of those. My friend mentioned how they look kind of scary and chunky but I kind of like that about this shoe. 

7. Tripoli Cutout Boot by Jeffrey Campbell (get yours here)
Oh my god, another JC shoe. I swear, this post should be called 'Must buy Jeffrey Campbell Shoes!' haha. These are like the Coltranes, but more delicate, in my opinion. They seem more feminine because they're less chunky. The bulky buckles are my favorite. They make your ankles seem more delicate because of its bulky-ness.

Any particular shoe that you want at the moment?

simplicity


 Lately, I've begun to notice that my style is starting to change. I remember thinking my mom's fashion sense was too simple and that there was always something missing with her outfits. As I'm exposed to more styles and outfits, I've started to question, maybe I was in denial. Zara was a store that I thought was too "mature" for me, but now, it's my favorite store. Their clothes are so simple yet enough to turn heads. You don't always need a crazy outfit to turn heads or to stick out of the crowd. A mix of simplicity could also have the same effect, which is what I've learned. Along with my new found love for simplicity, everything I've been buying lately has been either white, grey, or black. No, I'm not depressed, and no, I don't hate colour. I actually love that bright crazy "Jeremy Scott-ness" but lately the monotones have been calling my name. 


 Not only that, my style has been going back to its 'tomboyness'...is that even a word? Probably not. Anyways, I remember being a huge hoodie and Vans fan, and now that Jenny is coming back but with a more sophisticated flare. I've been enjoying high-waisted leggings, Vans, and a black hoodie and to add a more mature touch, I would throw on my military jacket or my new Zara coat (which is new in stores, so go check it out! It's absolutely to die for.) Now, I have to start saving my money up for those American 
Apparel disco pants and easy jeans to complete my basics.

I hope everyone is enjoying their winter break, I know I am. But sadly, I will be returning to school next Monday. But! It's going to be the end of first semester a week after that which means I'm a second semester senior! Now all I have in store for me is my college acceptance results...oh boy. In the meantime, I think I'll bust my account for even more clothes than I need. Never would I choose clothes over food, but, the time has come...clothes are just irresistible. 


What have you guys been up to this break?
