Something New

It's undeniable that I am a shoe-obsessed.  I've never met a shoe I didn't like.  Well, that's not entirely true, but shoes are the way to my heart.  If you don't believe ask, The Pirate.  While, I'm no stranger to a high heel, sometimes a low heel comes along and sparks a new love affair.  These little heels remind me of something out of my grandma's closet, but with a modern twist, Hello, shiny captoe! :)  The lower heel also gives my used-and-abused-high-heeled-wearing-feet a break, without sacrificing style.  If you want a pair, get yours here.

Looking back at this month, I wore a ton of polka dots.  Along with leopard print, polka dots are easily becoming one of my favorite prints to wear.  It's basically a neutral.  I love this sequin polka dot top I got from J.Crew.  I only wish I got it in the white and black version, too.  Well, I hope you lovelies enjoyed your February.  Tomorrow is a new month and I'm so excited because I get to celebrate two very special occasions with the Pirate; his birthday and our wedding anniversary.  Yippee!!!

Bunnies & Brocade

I'm a sucker for cute and quirky prints.  So, when I saw this dress on the sale rack, I knew immediately it would come home with me.  At first glance it looks like your run-of-the-mill, polka dot dress, but after closer examination, the print is actually little bunnies.  OMGeez!  Super cute, right?  And the fact that the dress has pockets, totally sealed the deal.  The weekend is almost here!  I can just taste it. Chat soon. :)

Rainbows and Unicorns

Today's weather included, rain, wind, sleet, and snow!  Okay, maybe not sleet and snow, but it surely was a blustery day filled with lots of rain and wind!  I love days like this, when we get a break from the sun, but what I love most is what comes after the rain... rainbows!  And you know what comes with rainbows... unicorns!  Haha. I keed, I keed.   This unicorn sweater did keep me nice and warm, though.  And a little rain won't stop me from wearing these newly acquired sky high heels.  I love the metal heel and the rounded toe makes my feet look teeny tiny, almost doll like!  If you want a pair, get one from My Hot Shoes and don't forget, you can save 20%, simply enter "Sharon" at check out. :)

YuniKelley Designs

When I came across yunikelley designs on Etsy, I instantly fell in love with the shop.  Shop owner, Julie Kelley has created spectacular pieces.  She's a petite gal that had challenges finding pretty bracelets that fit her petite wrist, so she decided to create her own.  Seriously, she's got some great arm (and neck) bling going on.  But don't fret, her bracelets can be sized to larger wrists sizes, so there's bound to be a bracelet (or two or three) that will  catch you eye!!  Aren't these bracelets gorgeous?  Julie is offering my readers 20% off your order, enter: elisharon at check out. :) Click on over to her her shop to check out more pretty baubles.

You are the Polka to my Dot

I'm still on a polka dot high.  My friend, Becks of oomph sent me these adorable polka dot skinnies.  Thanks, Becks!!!  I absolutely love them.  They're super comfy and fit perfectly.  I couldn't resist pairing them with bright pink heels and a bright lippy.  A blush tone sweater with spike details and my mint suede faux croc clutch added more interest to the look, without going over-the-top.  After closer examination, I realized that half of this look was gifted to me (thanks, friends!), AND my signature Rayban aviators are missing in action.  Gah!  Now you know what's hiding under those sunnies... my hideous-under-eye-bags!  ew.  I'm also in desperate need of a haircut.  Ok.  Enough whining.  I hope your week if off to a great start!!  LOVE DAY is in 3 days, any fun plans?

Chat soon, lovelies.

Dot Dot Dot

Don't you just love polka dots?  I surely do.  My amazingly talented friend, Katie Browne of Box 11 sent over this rad polka dot blouse.  I love love love the bold polka dots mixed with the itty bitty ones. The lace pocket is a fabulous detail as well.  Made from thrifted & vintage fabrics, this blouse is one-of-kind, which means no one else has it!  Yippee.  Because I don't really believe in the rule; "less is more", I decided to go for the gusto and throw on a sequin blazer, carry a leopard clutch, and strut in one of the most bright heels I own.  Some may say it's outrageously overdone look, but I say it's my cheer-up-only-three-more-days-until-the-weekend outfit.

Remember, you can still save 15% off (code: elisharon) your Box 11 purchase, and free shipping is currently available for all Hawaii orders.  Along with Katie's super cute tops, dresses, and quirky card designs, she's recently created, the Slouchy Shoulder Bag.  Check it out, you'll surely adore it. :)
