My Madewell Fall Faves

I love Shoes

These two are so pretty

Would also love to own the Green Version

Love this Sweater

I got my Madewell Catalog and these are some of the things that stood out. The Sheepmeadow Sweater. And the Pebble Cardigan. I am in Love with the Green Skinny Skinny Cords. They come in Gold & Green and I am going to try and buy the green ones. Although the Gold would be great for Fall. But I think the Green ones would be great for the Holidays. Like Christmas. I can't buy them all but I can certainly have a wish list :) Hope you all have a wish list if of your faves :) These are some of mine :) Enjoy your Friday!

Pablo Neruda - Picture Heavy - My favorite Poet

1904 - 1973

Sweet Love

Just wanted to share my Love of my favorite Poet. Pablo Neruda. I love his Poetry

Born Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto.  Neruda won the Nobel prize for Literature in 1971.He died when he was 69. Too young if you ask me!  We had a lovely evening yesterday with lots of rain and I pulled out one of my Neruda Books, I like to read when it's rainy and or cold.( Yesterday being a rainy day ).  I will usually cuddle up with my favorite blanket and some coffee. And just read on and on... His Poems  are really beautiful. I took some small snippets for you to enjoy. I hope you enjoy this post as I love poetry and he is my favorite. I also love E. E. Cummings as well. As William Wordsworth too. I hope that if you stopped by you enjoyed my pictures. I tried to capture his words with pictures. Enjoy!

All Things Nautical

Wear mine like this with my Steve Madden "Kingdom" Flats

Love my Dress

Really Cute
I have had fun wearing my nautical outfits this summer. The shoes I don't own but I think they are really cute. I don't know if I will buy them though. I think they are very specific to a look. Right? Striped shoes are kinda hard to match. Unless it's Jeans and a white top. Or white Jeans a white top and a Blue Jean Jacket. But I don't know. I am bad with shoes that have designs on them. Such as these.  I purchased the Steve Madden Kingdom Flats  and I wear these dresses with them. I really like them. The right color honey with the right leather skinny belt. Love!! At the moment I am having a Love / Hate relationship with Summer.  It is so hot here and Texas get's in the 3 digit's hot. So we need some cool weather. It rained tonight and I am happy. Autumn is awesome! I love Fall, But. Hate, hate Winter,  Although we have the mildest winters here. I have enjoyed my J. Crew dresses and won't be wearing them till next summer. Of course by then I will look like a dinosaur. lol. Right now though I am just trying to keep track of other blogger's and their amazing wardrobes. I can't possibly afford any of that stuff. But I have fun seeing beautiful clothing on other women that look pretty in them. I for one am just happy to buy what suits me and trying to save some cash. As you know I am an eBay fan. I save loads of money even if I have to wait months before I get it. By them it's old news. But I am okay with that. I am just sailing along :) Have a Great day ladies. <3 

Alice in Wonderland and my Shoes in RL.

Finally got my shoes out. I wanted to show you how cute they are.I am wearing them tomorrow with a dress I bought at Target. Since the dress is long and I am so short this should help. :)

 You all know my Love of Alice in Wonderland. I love her and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.  I found her in a local shop here. She watches over my perfumes ;)
I put her in our bathroom because I thought she'd look really cute by the mirror. I hope you all are having and have a wonderful weekend. We just got back from a really late dinner. But it was worth it. Took out the Smart car with the top down jamming to Michael Jackson....I miss him <3 Have a wonderful relaxing weekend. I am planning to have a fun one myself!

My Shoes 

Christian Louboutin Shoes, What's a girl to do?

 Christian Louboutin Studded Pigalle Flats

Louboutin  Mary Jane Cork Wedge Shoes

I recently purchased these pretties. The Mary Jane Cork Wedge Shoes. By the famous Designer Christian Louboutin. I really adore his shoes. They are among'st some of my favorites. I would love to own a pair of  the black Studded Pigalle SpikeFlats. .But my budget can't afford them. As you can see in the link they are pretty pricey. So, I found some look - alike's out there and  I don't have to spend hundreds of dollars. Such as these at Aldo's. They have several of the same style but different looks and not that expensive. I saw some at the Steve Madden store. They both offer different color varieties. So, The Mary Jane Wedge shoes are my new find. I have been wearing  them with my Current Elliot Jeans. They cuff really nice and make the shoes look really cute.I am considering making a trip to Aldo's or Steve Madden to seek and find me a pair.I know they don't look exactly alike. I have seen a pair on eBay. But even there they were a really big chunk of change. It's probably a trend that will die down but if they are that affordable I can try to get me a cute pair.( or two ) And Aldo's is a good quality shoes source. At least for me. Anyway, I hope you all are also searching after a cute pair of shoes that are in your dreams. I know these have been in mine for a while now. Let me know what your shoes cravings are lately. Happy Shopping!

Zara's Studded Sandals

This is my shoes for today. It's super hot in SA. It looked like we were getting a monsoon a few days ago. But nothing. We really need the rain. We went to the mall yesterday and I was able to stay true to not spending. I read a blog stating that looking at other people's blogs makes you more likely to buy things that are neither your taste or something you really need. I wonder how true that is? I know for a while I got caught up in wanting everything I saw. Now I just have repeats of my older pieces. Not the norm. But I can still revolve my outfits. What say you all?

Zara Shoes and J.Crew Sash

These are the shoes that I had been posting about. I really like these. They are so pretty and Comfy. The pink is very subtle almost nude. Now these don't go with every outfit. But they did with my outfit today. I really, really like them. I especially love the straps. They add a little whimsy to the shoes. The sash is from  J. Crew. I bought it because of the sequins and the color blush. I love that color. Goes with the shoes just right. I wore the outfit I posted  on my Polyvore except for the shoes. ( I changed my mind ) Because I noticed the top matched the shoes perfectly. I am addicted to shoes and wish that I could stop buying them. I do sell the ones I do not wear though. I don't believe in keeping shoes that I do not wear. But these are definitely keepers.! Keep on shopping Ladies <3

J. Crew, Fish Tacos and Order up Restaurant

Went to lunch with my daughter. It's hot outside!! Came to one of our favorite  restaurants It's called Order Up  We eat there a lot. Their menu is SO good. We go at least once or twice a week! I love all of their food. Be it Burgers, Salads or Chicken Tacos. They have it all. I wore my cute gold Metallic J. Crew flats.(Sorry about the bruise pic on my foot) My Boxer landed on my poor foot with his big ole paws. I also wore my white J. Crew Shorts and my Mint sweater.It was way too hot for a dress. Hope you all Have a wonderful Friday! We did :)

J. Crew Shimmy dress

J. Crew Shimmy dress by lepetitdraipiere featuring j. crew dresses

I am going to take off the Black sash. It feels too dressey with the black. I am going to wear either one of these two belts or another Brighton belt I own. It's got a bigger buckle and is woven leather. I just bought the Steve Madden Flats. I wanted a pair of Honey colored shoes that can we worn with White Dresses, Shorts, Boyfriend distressed Jeans and my J. Crew Matchstick White Jeans! : ) Summer is so much fun and l love it. If it were up to me I'd live in hot weather all the time. I bought this dress a while back and it is a very delicate fabric. Bit it's very feminine. Hope you are all having a very nice Summer and are enjoying the last day's we have left of it.
