How I scored my first pair of Valentino RockStud Pumps for almost half the Price.

How I scored my first pair of Valentino RockStud Pumps for almost half the Price.

Usually, my husband only allows me to splurge on household items or electronics. There are only two things that I seriously want right now, and that’s a 27inch iMAC and a pair of Valentino Rockstud pumps. I was surprised when my husband offered to come with me to try a pair on, you know so I’d know my size just in case a deal popped up.

Black and White Fall Wardrobe Essentials

Black and White Fall Wardrobe Essentials

This year I wanted to do something a bit different and purchase only Fall Wardrobe Essentials.

Why I’m no Longer Ashamed of Shapewear

Why I’m no Longer Ashamed of Shapewear

    Shapewear is not new to me. While I didn’t always own it I have vivid memories of watching my Grandmother get ready for church in the morning, squeezing into something she called a “girdle”. She said she wore it because it helped her look better in dresses, she compared it to my slip (you know that thing women don’t wear anymore).
