Chic Beauty And Fashion

As always, these are my pre-approved fashions. I am not liking the average garden variety saddle shoe and am scratching my head…didn’t these awful things go out of style for a reason? Why would anyone think that the “traditional” saddle shoe would be acceptable?

I like some of the newer reinventions, but I’m still not partial to the design. As you can see, my picks above are very far from the original saddle show. The newer the better, and more exciting too

Ever want to be Queen, just for a day? We all want to be pampered and treated like royalty, right? Well, if you are daring enough to spoil yourself, shower a gift on yourself— this cute Juicy Couture charm. The pink felt inside is a nice texture to contrast with the metal and “gems.” Not for the faint of heart.

There’s something about a piece of animal jewelry. I’m not really sure what it is but I just adore these babies! I especially like the vintage animal jewelry… I found several pieces on ebay. I though ebay would be a perfect place to look since individuals sell their belongings on ebay… and sure enough I found some good stuff.

Although animal jewelry may not be the most "in" thing this type of jewelry is certainly a great way to express uniqueness. I admire the quirkiness of animal jewelry.

I am falling in love with the metallic snakeskin bags of the season. I gasped as soon as I spotted this treasure.

Although it is far out of my price range I couldn’t help but blog about it so I can gaze at its beauty anytime. This fabulous bag is real python snakeskin. The skin is a metallic gold-champagne color. The hardware is gold and the buckles are tortoiseshell. The darker leather that you see on the top where you close the purse covering the gold hardware in places is lizard leather. Talk about exotic. The interior of this luscious purse is lined with twill. The bag’s style is a doctor bag… which is kind of weird, although I don’t mind the overall look of the “doctor” style. Oh well… at one time I wanted to be a doctor. The bag is 16 x 13 x 5. This bag can be found at http://www.vivre.com. This bag was priced at $3,895.00 but now is only $1,947.50!
