And I go...

Back to Black…Just like Amy Winehouse said in her song. Hahaha!

Don’t you just find it hard not to wear black? Don’t get me wrong, all of you know I love color, but some of my major staples are all black. I’ve been really trying to stay away from buying black but it’s almost impossible to do. Example will be this black jumpsuit I bought at Nordstrom’s. I don’t even remember where I saw this jumpsuit but I remember wanting it. It was difficult to find my size in my local Nordstrom’s. Finally it was available and of course I didn’t hesitate and bought it.

I absolutely love this jumpsuit. It’s not only comfortable, but I think it’s stylish and chic. And did I mention it’s less than $100!? Yes, I believe its $78. I have seen similar jumpsuits for $300 and above. I don’t know about you, but I would much rather spend that money on shoes than on a jumpsuit. I really wished they carried more colors. I would’ve definitely bought other colors as well.

Well I must get back to work. Hope you all have a fabulous Tuesday!

Lisa

Protect Your Pumps...

By now many of you know that I was asked to be Protect Your Pumps Cover Girl. What does this mean? It means you will see my face and shoes on PYP ads, blog, website etc. I was extremely honored to be asked to do this. As soon as I was asked, I wanted to tell everyone but I had to wait. I posted various pictures and ads on my instagram and twitter by now. And its time to let those who didn’t know (because you don’t follow me on instagram or twitter, shame on you! Hahaha) know by writing about it here on my blog, where it all started. :)

As I mention before, I was honored to be asked to be a cover girl for Protect Your Pumps. I know many bloggers tend to just outsell themselves and promote anything, but since day one I have told myself I will only promote items I truly love, and I absolutely LOVE Protect Your Pumps. It has saved so many shoe soles of mines. It honestly has changed my shoe life. Now, every time FedEx or UPS brings a new box containing shoes, I always use PYP on my new shoes.

One thing about being a shoe lover and shoe obsessed person is that people tend to make fun of you. They don’t understand the love you have for shoes. I mean, I would rather buy a pair of shoes that eat. That is how much I love my shoes. (Don’t worry, I eat! Hahaha). I know when I first started my blog and talking about my shoes people would come up to me and make fun of me. I remember saying, “One day my shoe obsession will pay off”. Now I can say, my shoe obsession has paid off. So take that! Hahaha.

Anyways, I hope I am able to show you more pictures of this wonderful opportunity I was given. I want to say THANK YOU to Protect Your Pumps for allowing me to do this.

Remember, save those soles and use Protect Your Pumps. Don’t forget to use code, “LISA010” for a 15% discount on your purchase. I guarantee you, it will be life sole changing experience. :)

White After Labor Day

We have all heard of the old rule, “No white after Labor Day”, but does anyone obey this rule now in days? I certainly believe that you should wear any color you want whenever you feel like it. If you want to wear bright pink during cold winter days, go for it! I am a believer that color can cheer up a person.

So with that said, I refuse to not wear white after Labor Day. I will wear white whenever I want. That’s my prerogative. Hahaha.

With that said, I hope you all had a great summer. Where I live, it seems like summer just started. Still in 90’s and it doesn’t seem like fall weather will kick in anytime soon. Indian summer perhaps? Whatever it is, I appreciate the heat!

Have a great short week!

Lollapalooza Day One...

If you follow me on Twitter or Instragram, you would know that I went to Lollapalooza. For those of you who don’t follow me, I suggest you stop reading this and go follow me. ;) But come back and read this entry.

In case you don’t know what Lollapalooza is, it’s a music festival held in Chicago for 3 days. I like to call it, the Midwest Coachella. It’s held at Grant Park every year and lately the lineups have been great. This year the lineup included The Cure, Mumford and Sons, Phoenix, The Killers, The Lumineers, and many more amazing bands.

I went with my friend Gaby and had a blast. The first day, we actually slept in and got there a little late. Perhaps the rain and clouds didn’t help with our jet lagged but we were able to catch Imagine Dragons, New Order and of course The Killers. They were all great and we were able to dance around, and try to avoid the mud as much as possible, which let me tell you, it was a mission to do.

Below are the pictures of Day One. I will be uploading pictures of the others days as well. Enjoy!

I am so teeny compare to everyone there...

Just stopping by to...

Say "Hello" and to apologize for my lack of updates. For those who have full time jobs, they understand that sometimes work can get hectic and take up most of your time. That is currently my situation. With work and traveling (for work), it can get hectic and tiring. Besides work, I was out traveling for my birthday celebrations and other celebrations. I will post pictures of those fun times soon!

I was able to take some pictures this week of my outfit, but guess what? I am back on a plane and heading back to Chicago. I am headed to Lollapalooza! Which I am so excited! Make sure you follow me on Instagram because I will be posting pictures of my outfits. Any of you are going to Lollapalooza? Let me know!

Enjoy!

Hello Monday...

...We meet again!

I currently have a bad case of the Mondays. Also, being awake since 4:30am doesn’t help. I would rather be at home sleeping or watching bad TV shows such as one of my favorite, the Maury show. But instead I had to come in to work and do what majority do, and that’s work! I know I shouldn’t be complaining about working when many are unemployed and still losing jobs but today is one of those days when you just feel mentally exhausted and don’t feel the weekend was enough days off to regain strength. But I promise it’s just today!

For those of you who are currently on vacation or don’t need to work, I envy you right now. For those who are working, I know you understand my pain. HA!

Tomorrow is a new day! Hope your Monday is better than mine and you are well rested to start the week!

Xoxo,

Lisa

Jean Shirt and Full Skirt..

 

Kind of day. And I am grateful I wore these pieces because it was warm!

I know I have mention this before in some old blog post, but I love jean shirts. I find them so practical for warm weather as well as cold weather. You can dress them up or dress them down. They can be used as a shirt, or a layer. I absolutely love them! Recently I paired the jean shirt with some black pants, but today I decided to pair it with a full skirt. The combination reminds me of a uniform of some sort, but I can’t figure out it out.

Also, you might have noticed that I am wearing my hair up in a bun. Shocking, I know! I hardly do this, I think because I find my hair to be my security blanket. Also, I have A LOT of hair that when I do put my hair in a bun, it gives me a headache because it can get heavy. I know that sounds ridiculous, but if you have a lot of hair and its long, you understand what I am saying.

With that said, I am excited about this weekend. It’s supposed to be in the 90’s by Saturday. After spending most of winter in a cold snowy city, I have come to appreciate any kind of warmth. Being from Southern California, you tend to forget how lucky you really to have warm weather 95% of the time.

Hope you are all having a wonderful week. For those of you who didn’t work on Monday (I hope you took some time to thank and remember those who gave up their lives for this beautiful country) because of Memorial Day, hope you are having a wonderful short week.

Xoxo,

Lisa

P.s. Ignore my un-manicured hands and also the length of the nails. As you know I am big sports fan, and my team the LA Kings (Hockey Team) is in the playoffs which means, I am biting my nails like crazy. I know disgusting but I can’t help it. Any tips on how to stop?

Shoe Organization...

Well many of you know that I am BIG shoe lover. I admit I must have over 300 pairs of shoes both designer and non-designer shoes. I don’t discriminate; I love all kinds and brands of shoes. Well my collection has outgrown my space and now I am trying to come up with ideas on how to store them. I have some on my bookshelf, as well as nightstand, side tables etc. I like to display my shoes because I honestly think they are pieces of art.

Since I have outgrown my space, I’ve been looking online on ideas. And I have seen many but the following pictures are just incredible. Some of these girls have rooms filled with shoes. Sadly, I don’t have a spare room I can use as walk-in closet for my shoes. But it’s always fun to look at what other girls have done and also dream of what I would do and how I would set up if I was able to do have a walk-in. A girl can dream right?

If you’re a big shoe lover, I am sure you are going to enjoy the following pictures. If you have any ideas or want to let me know how you organize your shoes, comment below! Enjoy!

Xoxo
