Have you bought your wedge sneakers yet?

It always amazes me how fashions repeat themselves. I remember having a pair of tan Guess wedge sneakers in 2003 that I lived in. I lived in those shoes, and was very sad when they had to be retired. This season is all about the wedge sneaker; they are everywhere in all colors.

Ash Footwear has both neutrals and colors...

Ash Bowie Wedge Sneakers in Rubis, Prune, Cobalt, and Apple - $225 - $235

Giuseppe Zanotti Celeste color-block suede wedge sneakers -$595

Nike 'Dunk Sky Hi' Liberty Hidden Wedge - sold out

Dunk Sky High Liberty Print Trainers - 95 euros

This is the pair I bought. I knew I wanted an all black wedge sneaker with a black sole. So when I found this pair on Steve Madden's website, I fell in love instantly. I think the studs are a great addition. Stay tuned to see how I wear these beauties.

Hamlit Black Multi - $129.95

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Target... a great place for all your denim needs

This year has been all about prints and colors in denim. We have seen jeans in leopard, floral, and in every color you can imagine. Trying to keep up with this trend can be quite damaging to your budget if you are anything like me - can't decide which color or print you want, so you buy try to buy them all. But once again, Target has saved us all.

Target has stocked many colors and prints this year; and each visit to my local store I discover more and more great options.

These leopard print skinnies originally came out last year, and are no longer in stores. It seems that Target has decided to keep these in stock online. I was able to snag the gray ones on the 70% off clearance rack. For me the fit wasn't greatest, so had a pair altered and now they are perfect.

Vanilla Star Leopard Print Skinny Denim - Tan - $22.99

Vanilla Star Leopard Print Skinny Denim - Gray - $22.99

Then I found these beauties...

Mossimo Supply Co. Floral Cropped Denim - Grey Floral - $22.99

Love these too...

MS Skinny Denim - Floral - $22.99

Not much of a fan of these. They are more of a cobalt blue than purple, and feel more like a legging than a jean.

Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Skinny Printed Denim - Purple Plaid - $22.99

These feel much like the purple plaid; more of a legging than jean feel.

Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Skinny Printed Denim - Red Lace - $22.99

The "Shine" printed denim are like the purple plain and the red lace. They have a hint of glitter on them,very pretty, but the material and fit are way off for my taste.
