Loving Lately... CAP TOE Shoes


 
Today, I'm linking up with Lipgloss and Crayons for lovely lately but before I go into my actual post I want to say (2) two words:
GO VOTE!!!!!!

Ok, now that I’ve gotten my political stand point out of the way… I want to share what I’m loving lately which would have to be the CAP TOE shoes… No matter if they are flats, pumps, or boots the CAP TOE shoes are MUST HAVES & sooo NECESSARY!!!!

 I was 1st introduced to CAP TOE shoes back in Spring of this year when I saw
Solange Knowles rocking them at an event.

Once I saw So-So ROCK her CAP TOE shoes I knew I had to have them in my shoe collection!


Throughout my search here are a few of my findings:

FLATS

1.    Steve Madden 'Jazzhan' Flat - $100 - Nordstrom

2.    DV Dolce Vita Smoking Shoes - $79 - Bloomingdales 

3.    Neon Cap Toe $9.99 - Wet Seal

4.    Cap-Toe Ankle Strap Flats - $19.80 - GoJane



Pumps

1.    Chain link cap toe platforms - $18.95 - GoJane

2.    Quilted Cap Toe Platforms - $31.95 - GoJane

3.    ASOS PLUTO Pointed High Heels with Metal Toe Cap - $63.32 - ASOS

4.    Two Lips Trinket via Zappos - $60.99 - Zappos



Booties/Boots

1.    Michael Michael Kors Cynthia Printed Bootie - $230 - Lord and Taylor

2.    Truth or Dare by Madonna Nizana Pump - $140 - Nordstrom

3.    Victoria's Secret New! Tarney Combat Bootie - $150 - Victorias Secret

4.    MIA - $90 - Zappos 

While on my hunt I did happen to find a pair neon Cap Toe shoes for $9.99 at Burlington  that most of you have seen me wear:

Nonetheless, if you follow me on Instagram then you saw me post this pic last week when I placed my order for (2) two pair of Cap Toe shoes from GoJane


And, guess what? They ARRIVED & I am completey satisfied... 
 They were only $22.50 per pair + FREE SHIPPING 


 "Sooo.. this is what I'm loving lately: CAP TOE SHOES"

Will you be indulging in Cap Toe shoes this Season?

Note to You: I have a very narrow foot and like with most pointed toe shoes these run narrow so if you have a wide foot you may want to take that in consideration.

~ Until next time

Just Another MANICure MONDAY


Happy Mondayyyy... hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! Well, as you already know today marks: Just Another MANICure Monday. This week Mimi of Lipgloss and Binky is hosting the linky so please be sure to show off your MANI by linking up! 

Colors of Choice: OPI White, OPI Blue: Blue my mind & OPI Red: Color so hot it berns


I wasn't sure what colors I would go with this week but since this week is the FINAL week for the Presidential Election and tomorrow marks the last day for voting I figured I would be PATRIOTIC with my nails. 



Ok, after I loaded the pictures I notice my hands were a lil ASHY!!! Sorry... lol




I will gladly do a step-by-step tutorial on the stripes and dots if needed. 
SN: All you need is nail tape for the stripes and a Q-tip for the dots.

Also, if you are wondering... these are my nails but I do have acrylic on top of my real nails to keep from breakage. I go and get the acrylic re-applied once a month in between time I do my polish changes. ^_^

Note to You: If you haven't already VOTED in the Presidential Election please do so... O, and don't forget to join the POLISH PARTY & LINK UP over on Mimi's Blog we would LOVE to see your MANICure.      


~Until next time…



Peace, Love, & Fashion  Polish

  Heyyyy... My Folks, My Bestie, My Sister Mari of Beyond Greatness is another year blessed today!!!! Sooo... I wanted to do a special "Birthday Blog Post" recognizing her as the LA-MAZING woman that she is!!!! 




We have been friends for 27+ years or maybe longer but aaaayyyyeee... who's counting anyway! When you have that many years under your belt you no longer count the years; you count the blessings!!!!


This was taken at our 20 year Class Reunion 

Back Down Memory Lane






Just like TWINS... you always have a quiet one and then the LOUD one... YUP, you guessed it I'm the LOUD ONE!!!! LOL!!!! 
But for the most part we balance one another out! 




Also, just like with any relationship; friendships has to be worked at and if it's worth keeping then it's worth fighting for! 




We Volunteer Together



 We play together 



We get our nails done together 


We go to the SPA together



We BREAK bread together


We PRAY together 




After all these years we are still together...  


Wishing my Sister a VERY BLESS BORN Day & May PEACE & LOVE find you today & ALWAYS!!!!!

Love you girlie like a FAT KID LOVE CAKE!!!!


Quotes that I want to share:

Friends and good manners will carry you where money won't go. 
~Margaret Walker 

The only way to have a friend is to be one. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson 


 Note to You: I'm thankful that we have a friendship that has outlasted some marriages and most of all I'm grateful that we can talk to get us through the difficult times... Yup, so there you have it: Communication is KEY!!!! God blessed me with a Sister when we became friends... Some folks can't/won't ever understand our BOND but it's everlasting. I LOVE my friend SISTER without saying besides she knows all my secrets... lol

~Until next time
