ShoeDazzle Review

I have to say I was a bit skeptical with the whole ShoeDazzle program. Cheap, good looking shoes every month? It seemed too “pie in the sky” for this shoe lover. But after a few pictures from friends of their recent purchases, I decided to take the plunge. On my birthday, I ordered my first pair, and they just came in this past weekend! They are absolutely adorable, fit great and seem to be as comfortable as 4 inch heels can afford. As far as the site itself, I do have some gripes. When building my style profile, it asks for your age range, and unfortunately I was categorized in a different age bracket (le sigh). I think this totally affected my showroom selections, which is completely silly. The rest of my profile accurately reflected my style: modern, fun and bold, but I was delivered these really plain jane shoes in my showroom. Needless to say, I was bummed, so I requested alternate selections. These were still not my cup of tea (although a little better). I’m planning on requesting yet another showroom, but the reason I’m not that upset is because the rest of the shoes available are so fantastic (like my first pair) and you have the ability to opt out each month if nothing catches your eye or it just doesn’t fit your budget at the moment – without being charged. If you are interested, get schooled on the program here.

*This review is my honest opinion and I was not financially compensated in any way by ShoeDazzle for my review. I joined the program and purchased these shoes independently and just wanted to share my experience with my readers as it seemed like a topic of interest.

What I Wore: Birthday Girl

I’m back! I’ve really missed sharing pieces of my life with all of you this past week – something that always seems to happen when I take a break from the blog, but it’s a necessary evil at times. I celebrated a milestone birthday a little over a week ago, and I must say, it was a difficult one to swallow. I had a rough few days leading up to it, but have decided to try my best to embrace it. And naturally that started by wearing a kick ass outfit that definitely did not read old lady. I was meeting with my family for a birthday dinner at PF Changs so I wanted to look casual, but still rock my birthday girl status. Warning: I’m pretty sure I will live in these shorts for the rest of the year (a plus side to living in South Florida: never ending summer weather). They are slinky, light and oh so fabulous! Plus they can be paired with any neutral tee for a perfectly effortless look. I added my favorite pair of sky-high wedges and I was ready to party!

Squeeworthy: T-Shirts.com

I love a good tee. Especially a good fandom one. As you all know by now, I am a fan of many a band, movie and show. I just love a whole lot of things and I like to showcase that love as often as I possibly can. Cue t-shirts.com! They have an extensive collection, from band shirts to nerdy phrases to cult shows. Anything you want, they have. And I can vouch for their quality. They are soft and comfortable. So comfortable I rocked my t-shirts.com Bowie tee to my most recent outdoor derby practice. Needless to say, I got multiple compliments from teammates and coaches, and didn’t feel like it was cramping my style either (despite the 100+ heat).  If you are in the market for some fun new tees, I would definitely check them out!

As for all of you interested in how my 2nd practice went, feel free to click the link.

What I Wore: Summer Fun Day

We started off Saturday with big plans: we were going to attend a local craft fair up north in Ft. Lauderdale and then spend some quality time with friends that we don’t get to see too often. Along the way, the craft fair idea got ditched and we ended up spending the entire day with our friends at Hillsboro Beach. It was really nice to just relax, hang out and talk with good friends. It kind of felt like we were on a mini day vaca. I wanted to wear my summer best, so I whipped up a colorful and fun outfit. I’m absolutely in love with this oversized tee from Lazy Oaf and wish I could wear it every day. There are so many ways to remix (check me out with my hip fashion blogger lingo), which makes it so versatile. I also had planned to pair it with a jean skirt, but decided to be a little ballsy and slapped on my tiniest pair of shorts. Surprisingly, I didn’t hate what I saw, so I may be using these shorts (my only pair – shocking, I know) more often this summer!

What I Wore: Surprise Party

On Saturday, my hubby told me to get ready, bring a bikini and a big appetite. I was taken to breakfast at Palacio de los Jugos, an extremely popular Cuban market/juice bar in Miami, which was absolutely delicious and such a treat (we don’t have one nearby). Afterwards, the blindfold was presented and from that point forward, I had no idea where I was going or what was happening. To my total surprise, when the blindfold was removed, I was in front of some of my closest friends at one of their homes surrounded by the cutest party favors/supplies and gluten free snacks! I was blown away. I couldn’t even believe how quickly the time slipped by – I had such a good time. I feel so thankful that I have such amazing people in my life. So a huge thank you to everyone that made it possible – it was a very special day. 🙂
