Day7 JustFabulous Favorite Things

As much as I love an amazing and sexy high heel, I am all about comfort on most days. Just Fabulous’ Laden is a comfy flat with some style.

Just Fabulous Laden

Chasing after two boys and dealing with Kindergarteners 3X a week is a lot easier with these on. I can keep up with my busy schedule and my feet will look fabulous.  I love the cap toe  with pyramid studs.  If you know me, then you know I Love all things with studs :-)  It also comes in  silver and leopard print colors. Pair with a LBD and you can dance the night away. For a comfy casual look with some attitude pair it with some colored skinnies and a sweater.

This is the last day of the Just Fabulous Favorite Things posts. Hope you all have enjoyed my picks for the holiday season. Although I don’t have the items that I’ve posted this week, I plan on adding them to my collection soon. I will be doing more posts on my shoe collection :-)  Happy Shopping my fellow Shoe Lovers!

Day6 JustFabulous Favorite Things

My favorite color is Red. How can I not rave about Just Fabulous’  glamorous red bootie Desdemona?

Just Fabulous Desdemona

 

Red, high heels, and sequins! What more could I ask for? It does also come in black, but I think the Red just steals the show.  You can definitely dress up any outfit just by slipping into these :-)

They are part of the Just Fabulous Holiday Collection. You can find Desdemona and other great shoes on JustFab.com along with purses and accessories to help pull off a great look for the holidays.

Day5 JustFabulous Favorite Things

Cold weather makes it boot season! Just Fabulous has so many great boots. I am obsessing over Alden.

Just Fabulous Alden

 

It’s such a pretty bootie. I love the lace, studs and buckle. Feminine and edgy at the same time. Pair with a cute skirt, solid sweater and moto jacket or leather skinnies and a girly tunic top :-) It’s a high heel but has a good size platform to help make it easier to walk in. I just have to get this.

Check out Alden and other great boots on Just Fabulous’s website.

Hooked on Hautelook

The Best Place for Saving on Name Brands

I signed up for Hautelook a year ago because Stila Cosmetics  had an event, and now I’m hooked!! It is so addictive! How can you pass up deals of 50% or more off on Name Brands? I know I can’t :-) It is just too hard to look on the site and NOT want to get something. And they have pretty much Everything! Clothes, Shoes, Makeup, Getaways, Jewelry, Watches, and more!! And not just for us girls. They have something for everyone. I am always checking to see if they have my favorite brands on their site. Most of the time I save more than I spend.

So far I’ve gotten:

Makeup from Stila, Urban Decay, and Too Faced Cosmetics

Urban Decay Haul from Hautelook

Clothes from Hype, So Low, Romeo & Juliet and Harajuku Lovers

I love Rompers

Workout clothes from Marika, New Balance and Nux

Marika Workout Clothes :-)

Marika Clothes

More Workout Clothes.

Trunki Suticases

Got these for my boys :-)

Big Box for the Trunkis

Boys were so excited to open the box.

Also:

Michael Todd Cosmetics Face Masks (3 different ones)

Michael Todd Cosmetics

3 LuLu Handbags

2 pairs of City Slips

Sketcher ToneUps

Fergie Boots

Jewelry

And probably more that I’m forgetting. Lol.

They have So Many Name Brands and area always adding new brands.

How It Works:

The best way to make sure you score a great deal in your size – Shop Early. Events start at 8a and only last for a few days.

You have 15 minutes to checkout and pay for items in your cart. I recommend looking through the sales to see what you like and then add to your cart.

On the weekends they have BlowOuts and you can save even more. Again, shop early because things go fast!

When ordering from different brands, your items will ship separately but you are only charged once for shipping.

They also have Great Customer Service. I received an item that was damaged and all it took was a phone call and they refunded me my money right away. No questions asked or forms to fill out. The lady on the phone was very polite and professional.

Most things are returnable. Not much is exchangeable because they have limited stock on their merchandise so there’s no guarantee your item will be avavilable for exchange. But they make it easy to see if you can return an item.

It does take a little longer to get to you.  About 10-14 business days.

If you love name brands and saving money, Hautelook is for you!! My biggest problem is restraining myself. Lol.

Happy Shopping!!

They always have giveaways and specials on their Facebook page :-)

Update

I know it’s been a long time since I’ve done a makeup tutorial or posted on my blog :-( It gets crazy for me during the holidays. And then I just couldn’t get into a groove with doing videos and blogging.

I also started a new blog all about my Life as a mom and my journey to a Healthy and Fit Lifestyle. That has taken a lot of my time lately because it’s easier for me to write about my life. With Makkeup – there is a lot of prep work. Doing beauty videos and blogs is A Lot of Work! I truly admire those who are able to do it Consistently :-)

I’m not quite sure what I want to do. Part of me wants to combine both of my blogs. But I feel that they are two separate sides of me. I still want to do makeup and fashion posts. I just need to find a way to juggle it with my busy mommy world. I think that I will have a little more time once Seppe starts kindergarten :-) So I might just do my best to post when I can and then really get back to it in August.

I hope that you all understand :-) My family always comes first and even my mommy blog gets put aside for a few days when Life demands a little more from me.

As far as my makeup, shoe and fashion addiction – they are all still going strong :-) Especially the shoes! JustFabulous is just about the most wonderful thing in the world! I have added quite a few shoes since my last shoe post. I think my next post will be an update on my JustFabulous collection.

Box from JustFabulous with Birthday Sale Goodies - 4 pairs of shoes and 2 purses. Couldn't resist BOGO :-)

Just recently got some new Stila and Urban Decay. Stila is my all time favorite makeup line and I used my rewards to get some of their newest items. I got a great deal on Urban Decay makeup on Hautelook. I’ve gotten Stila and Too Faced cosmetics from Hautelook too.  I am so addicted to Hautelook for makeup and workout clothes.

Stila is my Favorite Makeup Line - Latest Haul :-)

Found this exclusive Stila Palette in Vegas at Khardashian Khaos inside the Mirage.

Urban Decay from HauteLook :-)

I’ve fallen in love with Sally Hansen Salon Effects – what I call nail polish stickers :-) I always get so many compliments when I have them on and they are super easy to put on. I picked up an expensive brand of them at a mall while in Vegas – Inoco. I’ll do another post on those later.

Sally Hansen Salon Effects - Lace

For fashion – I have started to really enjoy blazers. It just really polishes off a look and adds sophistication. My favorite trend are colored jeans! I want one in every color but for now I have a pair in my favorite color – red :-) I always feel like I’m behind when it comes to trends but I don’t really care because I wear what I Like regardless of the trend.

Red Blazer from Forever21

Cropped Blazer layered with long flannel and tank.

My Favorite Material Girl Black Blazer

I am still very much following the Tone It Up Nutrition Plan. Health is such an important part of Beauty and my skin and hair have improved greatly now that I am living a healthy lifestyle. Exercise helps give me a natural glow too :-)

Supery comfy TIU top :-)

So I hope that you will stick around. I will have new posts and videos coming soon. And I am also working on doing a give away once I reach 1000 views on my blog to say Thank You to all of you who have been patient and stuck with me :-)

“Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful” ;-)

Wild for Aleeka

I was so excited when Aleeka arrived.  I immediately fell in love with them when I saw them in my boutique and I loved them even more in person.  They are absolutely Fabulous!! The Leopard print is sexy and flirty. They fit me perfectly. I got my usual size 6.5. They are going to look great with a pair of skinny jeans or a mini dress. Aleeka also comes in a grey color that will look great for an office look.  I am loving JustFabulous.com!

April Pick: Aleeka

For my JustFabulous April selection, I chose Aleeka in leopard print. I really liked the gray color too, but I don’t have a pair of leopard print shoes yet. Aleeka is a ruched, peep toe bootie with cut out sides. She has a 5″ heel with a 3/4 ” platform.  She is definitely a sexy shoe in both colors.

My absolute favorite thing about JustFabulous is that when I place my order in the morning, I’ll receive a shipment notification the same afternoon! My shoes arrive in less than a week! How awesome is that? It’s fantastic not having to wait forever to get my new shoes. I ordered Aleeka on April 4th and they’ll be here by April 9th. I am so excited!

Denise “Not Just a Pump”

I was trying really really hard to keep myself to only one pair of shoes from JustFabulous a month.  Bethany was my choice for March BUT when I saw Denise under the Featured Styles tab, I just couldn’t resist.  And I loved them even more when I saw them in person. I am not a huge fan of pointed toe pumps – mainly because I feel they make my feet look big. Denise is “Not Just a Pump!” (Even says inside the shoe) Denise is an attitude. I absolutely love the studs and buckle.  You can wear it with jeans or a dress.They are true to size. I ordered a 6 1/2 and they fit great. I will be wearing these a lot.

Here are the pics I took: Again, great packaging and a shoe bag came with the shoes.

Go and Get some great Shoes from JustFabulous!

Check out the style board created on Polyvore by JustFabulous:

Get Your Shoe Fix!

From My Personalized Boutique: Bethany

Attention fellow Shoe Addicts!! There is a great and easy way to feed our addiction: JustFabulous Shoes. I was on Facebook a couple of weeks ago and saw a really cute pair of shoes on the sidebar where all the advertisements are. I usually don’t click on those side links, but these were really cute shoes and for $39.95, I had to check them out.  After making sure that I wasn’t going to be charged just to sign up or that I was going to get spammed, I decided to give it a try. I  answered some questions about my style preferences and  a minute later  I had 6 personalized selections. There was even a “shoe therapy” section that had a few more selections for me to choose from in case I didn’t like any of the six. I couldn’t decide on what to get because there were several that I wanted.  I checked back about a week later and some of the ones I wanted, were sold out.  What I love is that they also have “Sold Out Solutions” where they replace any of the 6 selections if they sell out in your size. How awesome is that?? If there is absolutely nothing you like, you have the option of getting new selections sent to you or skipping that month.

I skipped my first month because the shoes I wanted were sold out and it was only a few days before my next selections were going to be sent anyway. But after I skipped, I found two pairs under their “Haute List” and “Featured Styles” sections that I just had to have.

The Red Lorelei’s:

The Black Cassidy’s:

Even if you skip ,you can still place an order any time.  I absolutely fell in love with the Lorelei’s and couldn’t resist the Cassidys so I ordered both. A week later however, I received a call saying that there had been a problem with their systems when I placed my order and both pairs were sold out. I was really bummed, but the Customer Service was very friendly and I wasn’t charged for the shoes so I didn’t complain. I knew I would find more great shoes from them. My new selections came in and I had more shoes to choose from. Again it was hard for me to decide.

I finally decided on the Bethany wedge.  I really liked the mixed print on the straps.  These are going to be great for the Spring and Summer to play up casual outfits. I look forward to wearing them with shorts or a jumper. The wedged heel is going to make them more comfortable to walk in.

Here are the pictures I took of them:

This time around, no problems. I got a shipment email a couple of days after placing the order, and a couple of days after that my new shoes were at my door. So far, I am a very happy customer. I know that there are several online companies that do the same thing, but since I’ve  found JustFabulous first and have had no problems, I’m sticking with them. Their website is very easy to navigate and you can easily track your orders. I also love how there was a Thank You note and a shoe bag with my shoes. They also have a BagFabulous section for those who love bags or just want to find a bag to go with the fabulous shoes you just ordered.  I highly recommend JustFabulous to all my fellow shoeaholics. If you can afford it, get all the pairs you like, but if you’re on a budget like me, you can easily set aside $39.95 a month to get one pair of great shoes.

A little info: You can find all of this on their website, but I thought I’d highlight a few points:

*It’s free to sign up and receive personalized shoe/bag selections.

*You will not be charged until you place your first order.

*After your first order, you must decide to either get new selections or skip by the 5th of every month to prevent being automatically billed $39.95.

*They have a rewards program that gets you a Free pair of shoes after reaching 100 points (You get 20 points per bag or pair of shoes you buy)

*Returns and Exchanges are free.

Happy Shoe Shopping!!
