Love: Charlotte Russe

Out of all of the shoes I was look at on the Charlotte Russe website, I ended up only finding one pair in store that had the right size and seemed like something that was comfortable enough that I would actually wear. I tried on the nude pumps and LOVED the way they looked, but they had that weird combination of fitting perfectly on the front but just barely being too loose on the back and I knew they'd be the kind I was constantly slipping out of when walking. Here are the ones I got:

Here's another close up of the ring from my last outfit post that I love so much:



I also ended up with a couple of pairs of earrings but of course I can't find pictures of them online. I'll try to get some whenever I wear them. I've been going for the longer earrings lately because those are really the only ones that will stand out in my wild hair.

I would definitely recommend checking out their website right now. They have some sales going on for Valentine's Day, and a LOT of really cute dresses! Unfortunately I don't think I would fit into many of them thanks to my, uh, chest being a little too big (That is not always a good thing for those of you who wish yours were bigger!!!).

Do any of you ladies shot at Charlotte? I never did quite as much until my roommate started working there again. Now I try to avoid going in as much as possible because I know it is near impossible for me to walk out without buying at least an accessory! What are your favorite things to get there?

HELP!

I received a $30 Charlotte Russe giftcard from my cousin for Christmas and I am having the worst time trying to decide which shoes I want! I've narrowed it down to about five, and I think I'll probably end up getting two pairs because they all fall under the "Buy 1 Get 1 for $15" deal, and that's way too great of a deal to pass up when the first pair will basically be free.

I like them all for various reasons, but what do you guys think?

Favorite Uber Platform Pump: I like these so much because they're such a simple shoe that could be done up in so many ways! I'm not sure which color I prefer- the nude could be more flexible, but most of my outfits incorporate a lot of black and sometimes red.

Glitterati Platform Pumps: I like these because they're slightly shorter, so more practical for actually wearing out, and I cannot resist sparkle.

Leopard Ruffle Front Peeptoe Bootie: Clearly it's difficult for me to say no to animal print. I love having little accessory pieces in animal print that aren't overbearing but add spice to the outfit.

Glitzy Bandage Heel: For this I really see it being a great shoe for going out when it starts getting warm out. I can only imagine how comfy the stretchy parts must be and how well that would keep them on my feet.

It does concern me that a lot of them are pretty tall, as my "eyes are bigger than my ability to handle tall shoes", but I think it helps that they all have platforms and aren't just heel. Hopefully my practical side kicks in and at least one of the pairs I get are the reasonably tall Glitterati's, but it may come down to which ones (and sizes) they have in the store. Sometimes that helps in making decisions anyways when you're like me and the OPTIMAL choice would be to just get them all.

Shoe Fever

Sun lights up the day time,

Moon lights up the night.
I light up when you call my name
and you know I'm gonna treat you right,
You give me fever!

I went to title this post, and now I have Peggy Lee stuck in my head. But Shoe Fever more or less accurately describes the frenzy I get myself into around this time every year when making up Christmas lists. Ok, who am I kidding... I get into this frenzy a couple of times a year, and I'm surprised I managed to hold off for this long.

I was on the Charlotte Russe website yesterday looking at shoes because my roommate who works there keeps coming home with the cutest boots, and then my mom's friend came over to drop off an "early" graduation card (and $$). Call me crazy but that sounded like an obvious cue to head on in and pick up these boots I had been oogling on the site. (Actually, they didn't have the specific ones I was looking at, but I like these better!)


The best part is that they are actually practical enough to wear around for all sorts of occasions, including just for daily outfits! I especially love the little ribbed sweater poking out of the top. Of course I couldn't stop there and had to check out the WHOLE shoe collection... plenty of cute ones! Here are some of my favorites. (Click the picture for a link with more information!)







That last pair just puts me in the mood for all sorts of holiday parties! Have you guys started making any holiday wish lists? Did any shoes make the cut?

Back to Normal with an Outfit Post!

Thought I'd instill a little normalcy with an outfit post that didn't involve partying or any form of alcohol (Yeckkk, liver's still on strike!). All accessories for this one are compliments of my lovely roommate Kelly for my birthday. She works at Charlotte Russe and got me this bracelet set, necklace, flip flops, and some earrings, along with a creme colored shirt with a subtle gold sparkle to it! I love it all! Paired the accessories with my navy Old Navy dress I think you may have seen before.
