Kinda Obsessed!

I am dying over these Altuzarra inspired gladiator boots! The original Altuzarra boots are running at $1900 on sale from $2715 at Saks Fifth Avenue, but who can really afford to throw down all that cash at this moment? Me, of course. At only around $50 these amazing alternatives are a must have for this summer. Sizes are limited on the site, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on restocking!

Closet Hoarder? Poshmark Is Here To Help.

Have an overflowing abundance of clothes? Jewelry? Shoes? Bags? Anything? Then you should know about Poshmark. This amazing Apple Store exclusive app is the next eBay for all things fashion. On Poshmark, you list your unwanted items for sale. Take photos, pick the category, list the price and your item is now for sale on the giant marketplace. Then the addiction begins...

I discovered this app while I was selling my items on eBay, I signed up not giving much thought into it or expecting it to be better than my BFF eBay, and wow was I wrong. My first listing was a Chanel Chance perfume, brand new in box that was just sitting around my house. Within two days, it was sold! Immediately, I was hooked. You find amazing stuff buried in this listings. I purchased an adorable used Balenciaga Giant Money Wallet for guess how much? $95!!!! In the 9 months I've been extremely active on Poshmark, I've made over $1,000 selling my used unwanted items!

California based Poshmark was founded by Manish Chandra and his amazing team of Poshers in 2011. Within the 2 years of launching Poshmark, the app blew up. 

From Coach to Louis Vuitton and Chanel, from Payless to Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo and everything in between, Poshmark is the place to buy and sell pre-loved items. Join in on the daily "Posh Parties" with brand and theme specific guidelines. Whatever it is you have to sell, there is guaranteed to be a party for it with thousands of people looking to buy exactly what you have! When you sell an item, shipping is purchased by the buyer and Poshmark emails you the shipping label so it's super easy to do. Poshmark takes 20% from your purchase immediately, so you don't have to worry about paying the pesky fees at the end of the month.

I will never stop using this app as long as it's around, it's just to much fun! You make money and make great friends.

Now Loving: Dolce & Gabanna Sicilian Baroque Collection

The new Sicilian Baroque collection celebrates endless curling roses and flourishes. Luxurious details embellish every design. Every beautiful, decorative style in this collection comes with a special velvet case. Black frame with grey, gradient lenses.

OMG. I'm not usually a sunglasses junkie, for me the cheaper the better. After all, I do throw them around in my car every day (especially when I forget I have them on and have to go put them back in the car). I have to say, I am in LOVE with this collection. The delicate baroque style details keep the theme of the Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 2013 runway show.The Sicilian Baroque collection features gradient lenses on brown and black frames. Each pair of sunglasses comes in a super luxurious red velvet case.

During a shopping day this past week I stopped into Sunglass Hut, where they are exclusive, and they immediately caught my attention. I think I even pushed the sales associate out of the way! Just kidding - but I did go into a full force sprint to them...

The Sicilian Baroque collection is available at Sunglass Hut stores.

From the pairs displayed on the Sunglass Hut website, prices range from $265 to $760 USD

We're usually not ones to splurge on sunglasses, but I think this is going to be one beautiful exception!

Are these not the most beautiful sunglasses you've ever seen?!

The Best Of Cannes 2013

Two days ago was the closing ceremony of the Cannes Festival in Cannes, France. With The Great Gatsby opening the festival and Blue Is The Warmest Colour winning the highest award the Palme d'Or, along with great films came glamorous fashion. This year on the red carpet I noticed a few trends: metallics and Versace - a lot of Versace.

Here is a few of Cannes 2013's best dressed!

A Good Start.

 Wow, what a great feeling to finally start up this blog. I've been thinking about it for quite a while, and thinking about what my first post would be just as long. (yeah right - more like googling "How to write your first blog post"!) This introduction is much easier than I expected. After all, first impressions are everything!

It's been a long road here. I began with stalking every popular fashion blogger out there, both street style and personal style blogs. Which brought discovering amazing and talented designers, which then led me into watching every single show during all Fashion Weeks - from New York to Paris and every location in between. From the glorious Dolce & Gabanna Spring/Summer 2007 to the questionable Saint Laurent Paris Fall/Winter 2013. Good or bad, I'm into it all. After a while just watching got a bit boring, so I took myself on Tumblr and joined the rest of the fashion population reblogging looks from shows and posting my rants and raves. The street style blogs were great, I gained so much inspiration from them but it was missing one thing - a local feel.

My beautiful city of El Paso has an abundance of everything. With a population of almost reaching a million, that's pretty easy to guess. Delicious food, gorgeous scenery, historic buildings, and great style. Adorable boutiques and shops from eastside to westside, and people with just as great fashion and style. They are truly hidden gems in the city, and its time for a bright spotlight to bring them all to attention. With the extremely fast growing population of El Paso, Las Cruces, and Fort Bliss people's diverse styles will be growing with it. For all my newbies trying to figure out their personal style to my crazed fashion addicts like myself, I'm hoping to start a great community for all.

Cheers to a great and hopeful beginning!
