Shoe Sale!!

Ok, so I was doing some super duper early spring cleaning and need to get rid of some shoes that I just don't use anymore!

I took a lot of pictures because I wanted to make sure you are aware of the flaws each shoe has so I dont have any drama later that you didn't know they were defected! I try and care for my shoes as much as possible but Liz got her feet on some of these and when that girl is drunk she just tears shoes up! Anyway, most of these I'm getting rid of because the heel is no longer appealing to me. I am used to wearing high pumps and three inch plus heels that I feel like these are flats! I know, weird!! Anywho...Most shoes are new, semi new or mint condition!

Email me if you are interested!! I've listed a price, but if you have a better offer, then talk to me! I mean, I'm pretty damn cheap and I'm not asking a fortune lol It's like a virtual yard sale! lol

First Up: Joey Platform Peep Toe Sling Back Heels. Never worn!! I ended up picking up a size too big and they kinda flap off my feet. These are an 8 1/2. I'm asking for $15 bucks






Next Up: Delicous Pointy Toe 2" Heels - Mint Condition Size 8






These shoes have a few slight scratches on the back of the heel but aren't very noticeable. These are perfect for ladies who are beginning to wear heels. The heel is low and not as tiresome. I'm selling these for $10 bucks

Next Up: Maryjane Clogs - Mint Condition Size 8 



These are practically new! I only used them two or three times and have saved them ever since. Clogs are coming back into style but they've never been my favorite. These are in perfect condition if it wasn't for my forcing them out of a shoe trunk and scratching the surface off of a button on the left shoe. I'm asking for $10.00 
Also these are a size 8 but fit me a bit snug so maybe someone who wears 7 1/2 / 8 will suit you well. Just an FYI. Or you can always break them in with socks! lol

 Nine West Gladiator Heel Sandals - Mint Condition






These too, were only worn once! And boy did I get drunk in them! I ended up scratching the heel a bit, but again very unnoticable when wearing them. The "Nine West" name came off on the right shoe, but who's gonna see that when they're on? These came in a size 9, but I'm a size 8 and they fit me perfectly fine.  Im asking $15 for these

Lastly, Classified Peep Toe Heels - Fair Condition






These have been used most than the rest but they are still in good condition. I'm only asking $5 bucks! Pretty dirt cheap if you ask me! lol They are a size 8 and have a very low heel. Easy to walk in and very comfortable for ladies not used to wearing platform heels or heels higher than 3".  These have a few marks and scratches, mostly on the end of the shoe and on the heel but can still go a long way.

That's all I ahve for now, but stay tuned for more sales. I have a "dress" sale coming up and some makeup as well! Please email me at mayra_831@live.com if you are interested or message me on FB.

Small Ross Haul

I spent the weekend at my brothers house in LA and while there my brother decided he wanted to go to Ross and do a little shopping.  Since I didn't want to stay home alone I decided to tag along. How convenient huh? lol. 

One of my resolutions for the year is to shop less. I'm tyring to make use of what I have in my closet and I ask myself twince before purchasing any items. I'm trying mostly to stray away from buying so much clothes. However,  the hardest thing I find myself saying no to are shoes! I couldn't resist when I came across some Fergie heels for only $13.00! Anyway, here are the few things I picked up at Ross. 

I bought this journal to do some scrap-booking and writing. Since writing is another to-do on my resolutions for the year, I bought a new journal that I plan on carrying with me at all times to write about anything that comes to mind and even use for scrap-booking with clippings from magazines, newspapers, or pictures even.  The goal is to fill the book before the end of the year!


The journal is very heavy duty and feels really soft to the touch. I also liked the pink and black stitching and lettering and the gold on the pages. The only thing I would have preferred was if it was college ruled as opposed to wide ruled but you can't go wrong for only six bucks. 

I ran out of my regular shampoo (Suave Professionals) and wanted to try something new since I've been using the same stuff for quite some time now and figured I can also do a review afterwards. Since I have curly hair, I decided to try Curly Sexy Hair by Sexy Hair Products. I purchased the moisturizing shampoo and conditioner at Ross for 1/2 the price I'd normally pay at salon prices. Each bottle cost me $9.99 for 33 fl. oz. This should last a while. 

I found this light weight sweater cardigan sweater dress. I'll probably wear this alone with some leggings or shorts underneath during the spring/summer. 



I finally got my hands on this baby! I found this coat at my local Ross not too long ago and unfortunately for me at the time they didn't carry my size.  I blogged about it  and said I'd get my hands on it eventually and when I saw it I couldn't resist! I think I dropped 3 other items just to take this one home! I'm glad I found it. 





And finally, those Fergie heels I mentioned earlier. I now have some hot purple shoes to dress up my Laker Jersey with! 




They almost  appear to have a fuchsia tone to it, but it's my camera that alters the color. They're purple with a hint of pink I suppose. Either way, I love em and think they're hot and I can't wait to wear them! I have so many shoes now its ridiculous but like they say, we can never have too many shoes! I do however, have a few shoes I will be getting rid of. I owe my FB friends and subscribers an overdue sale of items in my closet! Stay tuned!

I'll close it here because tomorrow is my first day back to work after an awesome 2 weeks off work and I'll be starting work at 6am! I already know I will not want to wake up and must make a habit of sleeping earlier and prepping outfits and lunch the night before! Hope everyone has an amazing week!

xoxo

GoodBye 2010

2010 passed me by in a flash. I am looking forward to 2011 and all the changes I want to do for myself in the coming year.

I also had a wonderful year and learned a lot about myself along the way.

In 2011 I want to grow as a writer and blogger and continue my education and pursue my goals and dreams.  It's hard following your dreams when ur forced to work 9-5 mon-friday and have bills to pay, but none the less you can't give up and I wont do so, I will keep pushing forward.

In 2011 I plan on using my sewing machine more often, blogging and writing a lot more, and continue my focus on school and with my 3 day weekends coming up I plan on volunteering at my shelter once again and traveling and connecting with more of my viewers and readers.

Thank you for your continued love and support, for following, reading, commenting and coming by! I'll See you in 2011!

Ross Haul

Last week I went to Ross and picked up a few items. I was mostly looking for Xmas presents for the family, but who shops for xmas gifts and doesn't pick anything for themselves?

I got this lovely top by Kenneth Cole for 12.99. The material is very light weight and sheer. Perfect for the office, and easy to dress up or down. I can easily wear this in the summer despite the slouchy turtle neck because it's so sheer.
Kenneth Cole New York Top Original Price $69.00
I couldn't help but pick up a few more scarfs specially after noticing the mark downs and deals I was getting. The nude pink and black Viscose scarf is very soft and will definitely keep me warm. Picked it up for 9.99. I also picked up a nude beige Polyester Scarf which marked down to 6.99 so I couldn't pass it up.
The beige scarf is very light weight and sheer. Can be used to dress up a casual outfit. I liked the beading on the bottom, the light bounces off these beads and give it a more glamourous look.
Jones New York Polyester Scarf Original Price $38.00
Viscose Scarf Original Price $20
And with the winter now in session, I had to pick up a few more hats to keep warm.  I found a Grey wool hat from the Jessica Simpson collection for $5.99 and Gold Sequined hat for $6.99.
Left: Jessica Simpson Hat Original Price $19.99 Right: Capelli New York Hat Original Price:$18.00
And finally, I picked up this lovely handbag for $34.99. I'm not a handbag collector and rarely buy expensive handbags but decided to treat myself before the year ended. I liked the ruffling on this handbag and the fact that it's so big inside and I can use it with just about any outfit.

Big Buddha Marie Black Ruffled Satchel Handbag Original Price: $89.00

And that makes up my last haul of the year. I haven't made any resolutions for 2011, but I know I would like to haul less, that's for sure!
