My Holy Grails

It's not a secret. I love shoes. But can you believe out of all the shoes I have bought, I only have one of three current Holy Grails?!

1. Christian Louboutin Multicolor Glitter - after years of hawking and stalking on ebay, a pair finally showed up in my size. You know I jumped on them right?!

2. Manolo Blahnik Mary Jane (Campari) - there is just no excuse as to why I don't have these yet. I guess I know they will always be there now that the madness from SATC has died down.

3. Manolo Blahnik Sedarby - I really want these but I will probably keep them in my hope chest for my wedding day. I can't justify spending over $700 on a shoe I don't know when I'll get to wear!

It's So Easy Being Green

Dee and I were obsessed with the Manolo Blahnik Mary Jane when it hit the stores years ago. Because it is a staple in the MB collection, we knew it would never go on sale - that is until they released it in lime green or "Slimer" as affectionately dubbed by Dee.

She debated on getting them but passed - a decision she still regrets to this day, so when I saw Jimmy Choo had some "Slimers", I learned from my Big Fashion Sis and jumped on them.

When they arrived in person, they were not as neon as they looked in the picture which is a good thing. They are a lovely pop of green that my shoe collection desperately needed. The only other shoe I had in the green family were a pair of teal suede aldos with a wood stacked heel. The possibilities of what to wear with these shoes are endless and it is going to be fun working them in my wardrobe.

Rocker Chic

Talk about Fashion Favor! After spotting this shoe and seeing it was sold out everywhere in my size:

I found it online at www.karmaloop.com. The shoe retails for $150 but after using a Karma Loop coupon code and rep code, I got 20% off then 1% off PLUS free shipping for a total of $118. I can't wait to rock these a la Miley Cyrus with some cute, cuffed jeans and a white tee:

Loves it!!!

YoYo Champ

Thanks to ebay seller shoehottie, I got the Christian Louboutin Yoyo's with the sculpted heel for under $500. I have been wanting this shoe forever and the patent, "grease" effect gives it a sparkly appearance that makes me want to say "There's no place like home!"

Shopping Coach

The Coach outlet was offering an additional 20% off their already reduced clearance prices so a chick had to take advantage of this limited time offer. I really needed a bag I could wear across my body. I have a couple of swing packs but I wanted something bigger for work and travel. I found a Pink Heritage Hobo.

It retails for $298, was on sale for $229.99 then another 50% off PLUS, I used my 20% off coupon for a total of $97 and some change! What a deal! When it was time to pay, I saw this in a bin on the counter:

It was only $9.99 and of course, I got another 20% on top of that! Woohoo! Fashion Favor!!!

On the Prowl

Location: Ross department store,Fl
Fashion Favor: Puma Gv Spadrille
So my favorite well only mother-in-law strikes again. Hitting all our favorite haunts when she visits is our bonding time. We heart Ross. Especially the shoe rack. Which houses at the bottom of each rack all the clearanced shoes. Low and behold(literally)...were a lovely striped lilac pair of Puma Gv Spadrilles which retailed for $69.99 but were marked down to...wait for it...$4.99. My mommie-in-law grabs em out of my hand and throws them in shopping cart. Telling me that I,Dee, needs them. Whether by birth or by marriage, mommies are the best!

Happy Birthday to B!

I turned the big 3-0 on June 1st but my birthday bash was June 6th. Dee and I celebrated in true CL style. Check us out!

Coach Fanny Pack

Now I know what you are thinking: fanny packs have gone the way of the 90s but before you judge me, I plan on using it to hold my house keys and ipod while I power walk. And it will look tres chic slung around my waist as I trot around NYC in September.

Buffalo Girl

When you have Fashion Favor, it tells you when to buy and when to wait. When I first bought the Kimichi Blue Buffalo Pintuck Tunic from Urban Outfitters, I paid full price. I just knew that such a hot top seen on all the celebs would not last long - even though I knew deep down it would go on sale. Well it has and now I am kicking myself because I could have gotten two tops for the price of one. Oh well! I already had the cram and black so I just bought the blue and black plaid for the super low price of $29! They have colors in all sizes still in stock so grab them while you can ladies!

Jessica Simpson Lizza - Honey

I have been looking for this shoe since I spotted it on Miss Simpson herself. Yeah, I know it looks like Mr.CL but I cannot deny the irresistible call of the glazed "honey" leather - these shoes are my kind of "nude" and they are going to look hot on my caramel legs. Erm...plus I just spent moola on not one but two pairs of CL's - tee hee.

I went to Zappos, one of my favorite shoe shopping sites, but they were sold out in my size. Smart Bargains had them for less but they were sold out too. Fashion Favor struck when I found them on ShoeMall, on sale and in my size! Once these beauts arrive, I will have to Tweet how sweet they will look on my feet!

Turbo Drive

Don't you hate it when you see something you want - but because it was seen on "So and So Celeb" it is now sold out and no where to be found?! ARGH! Well I am believing for Fashion Favor and one day these shall be mine in the size I need.

Laptop Chic

Location: Amazon.com

Fashion Favor: Acer Aspire One Case

I have been looking for a cute little laptop case to match my equally cute new mini laptop when I finally found her online. Notice the city skylines, newspaper feel and hot pink script. It kind of has a SATC feel to it. Carrie Bradshaw would be proud.

Its The Questionnaire That Drives Us

Location: Zgallerie
Fashion Favor: The Fashion Questionnaire by Assouline
I have a new found passion for window shopping. Zgallerie is one of my passion's pretty poisons. Looking ever so posh on a table marked 50% off was a book I had on my wishlist for christmas. Alas it sold out. Hence the reason why I grabbed it so fast. Not truly believing that it was in my hands and on sale. At the counter, they took an additional 10% off all clearance items. Fashion Favor squared? My favorite part of this story is the added bonus: at the end of the book there are blank pages for me and my fashionista friends to fill out. To channel Curtis James Jackson ala 21 questions..."I'll ask 23 quesitons and they all about fashion".

I Got Carrie-ed Away

Location: Books-a-million
Fashion Favor: Sex and the City Trivia game
I knew once the series was over, Satc addicts would gooble up any and everything Carrie related. With the movie looming...forget about it. Even though I had my baby browns fixed on the game, it was already gone from the HBO site years ago. So imagine my surprise when I turned the corner and spotted it...the last one of its kind...well at least the last one of its kind at this Books-a-million anyway. I said self your bday is fast approaching, you could add it to the ever growing list of things you deserve. I turned it over just to verify that it still cost 39.95. Blink..blink...what's this?!? $10?!? The price tag is just that...a regular price tag. Not your standard clearance tag. Hey sales associate...yoohoo...price check,please. Scan...beep... $10. Mistake you say...nope...fashion favor you ask...yes.

Sheeeeeeee's Baccccccccckkkkkkkkkkk

Location: Foot Candy Shoes
Fashion Favor: Christian Louboutain She's Back

I have been feening for my first pair of Christian Louboutain but it seemed as if everytime Saks or Neimans was having a sale online, it was not low enough or they did not have my size. Thanks to Fashion Favor, I was able to get these hot pink, multi-colored Lou Bou's for less than 50%.

If these beauts look familiar to you, you may recall seeing them on the feet of Atlanta Housewife Sheree.
But guess what? They look so much better on my toesies! Tee hee!

Fashion Favor Flashback: Green With Envy

Location: Footcandy.com
Fashion Favor: Christian Louboutin Menorca 130
If I could get myself to wear epadrilles year round..CLs would be at the top of my "wear-em-to- death" list. Espadrilles are addictive for me. You name a shoe brand and most likely have em espadrilles. So during Footcandy.com's annual sale in 2007 , I could not believe my eyes. They had the lovelies pictured below marked down from $310 to $100. All that satin..all green literally and ripe for the pickin.

Deluxe Deal

Location: Walden Books
Fashion Favor: Deluxe:
Happy New Year is definately how I felt when I chance upon this. Lately, my husband has been asking me to pick up a book. What happened to my "reading-is-FUNdamental-wife"? Doesn't reading to my sons count for anything? After doing the expected after holiday exchanges, he insisted that we go to a bookstore. We decided to wonder over to Walden Books. While waltzing in...I felt feverish from a fashion favor looming. I had not made it five feet in the door when I see the bargin bin looking mightly lonely. There on top was Deluxe by Dana Thomas. I have heard that it is required reading for all divas, fashionistas,chicettes, style mavens and glamazons. It is one of those books that ya tell yourself you will buy...one day. Well today was that day. I knew it was released last year. Which made me ponder why it was in the bargin bin? But who am I to question how favor works. I had to research and sure enough I found it still being sold at the retail price. All I can say is "It's delightful, it's deluxe, and at $5.99....it's definately de-lovely".
