Thank you, Fashion Gods!

Did my last post read as a prayer to the fashion gods? Could it have been some divine style intervention? Do I have a fashion guardian angel?

These are the questions I have been asking myself, lately. By some form of style magic, I managed to happen upon not 1, not 2, but yes, 3 pairs of booties. Overkill? Maybe. However, now I am fully equipped with 3 different booties and I know how to use them!

First of all, I stumbled up on the replacement for my black booties. With that being my whole shopping goal, I didn't expect much more. I was completely content with these:

Xhilaration Solana Lace-Up
Retail: $34.99
Second-hand: $7.95

Now comparatively, these new wedges are about an inch & a half or two inches taller than my others. So either I'm getting a lot more ballsy, or I'm completely underestimating the difficulty I may have walking in them. Either way, I'm in love and I can't deny it.

After I finished flipping out over the coincidental find after I just blogged about them, these babies were sitting right there in the next aisle.

Xhilaration Susan Hiker
Retail: $39.99
Second-hand: $7.95

Amazing, right? Up close, they are glittery and kind of resemble a galaxy print. I started calling them my "moon boots" and I can't wait to plan an outfit around them.

Dolce Vita for Target
Second-hand: $12.00

I have been eyeing these shoes for a while now at my job. I work at a second-hand store so we are constantly getting in clothing, but these boots have been stuck in my head since May. Though the two pairs above definitely fit my current, intense fashion taste, I wanted something more casual.

These are the perfect dress up or dress down boots. I see me wearing these with skinnies, a basic T, leather jacket and with little effort, looking like a total badass. On the other hand, I have so many dresses that will soften the look of the hardware. 

The best part is that today is rainy and a little chilly so I'm going to take full advantage and rock a pair of them today!

designer obsession: Maurizio Taiuti

Since I've spent the majority of my money funds this past month on moving into my new apartment, I treated myself to some window shopping at TJ Maxx the other day. Of course, that is not that place to go for window shopping because naturally, I fell 

in love with some of the most expensive pieces in the store.

Purses.

Michael Kors, Betsey Johnson, L.A.M.B., I was in heaven.

But the best part of being in purse utopia was discovering this adorable floral cross body bag!

I was sold.

I've never heard of the designer Maurizio Taiuti before so duh, I came home to Google and find out as much as possible.

All genuine leather purses, made in Italy, and the variety of styles was endless! 

*FAVE

The only issue I seemed to have was finding websites to purchase these purses (besides Ebay). I suppose that means I will just have to check back at TJ Maxx more often! That's just too bad.
