Sponsor Spotlight: Sizers

Every women struggles with finding shoes that fit, it's almost impossible to know your real shoe size. Personally, I'm an eight at Forever 21, a seven and a half at H&M, and a six at Timberlands! So, as you can imagine, like most women, I have about ten different pairs of shoes that don't fit. Luckily, Lavina Bonar, the inventor of Sizers, prides herself in being able to fix that problem.
After an experience in which Bonar had to wear shoes that were much too small into an interview, Lavina became sick of wearing ill-fitting shoes. She realized that she wasn't the only one struggling with the issue of not being able to find the perfect fit of shoes -- every woman struggles with the same issue! So, Lavina created Sizers "out of necessity."  Basically, Sizers are little foam pads that you can pop into the tips of shoes to alter sizing. They come in three sizes:  1/4 (pink), 1/2 (purple), and 1 (orange). They can be used for tons of reasons:

1.  You want to borrow someone's shoes, but they're too big.
2.  You own shoes that don't fit quite right.
3.  A shoe brand doesn't seem to carry your perfect size.

These pads were a godsend!  How many women can really say that their heels fit them perfectly? I sure as hell can't.  Not only are some pairs slightly too big, I've also actually stretched out faves of mine from over-wearing.  Thank god I didn't throw them out because now I can wear them again!
It has long been thought that "beauty is pain and women have to endure sore feet and blisters in order to look beautiful. Thanks to Sizers, that's no longer true - pain is now a thing of the past!  Make sure you guys check this fab British brand out HERE.  You can also check 'em out on facebook and twitter.

Transitioning from Work to Play

Happy Monday, everyone.  I hope y'all had an AMAZING weekend!  To start off the week with a bang, I styled a FAB shift dress for you guys.  This gorg piece is from *drum roll, please* Almost Famous Clothing, DUH!  You all know how much I love their stuffs.  Anywho, this printed dress is absolutely PERFECT for work in the summer because it's loose - it helps me cope with the sweltering heat.  I don't know about you guys, but I feel like I'm melting every time I step outside, ha!  The weather has been 90+ degrees & humid.   UGH!

...I'm gonna stop complaining because I sound like a total downer right now, ha.  So, let's talk fashion.  Today's topic of choice = transitioning from work to play with ease.  Here's how you go from office-appropriate to hella sexy in seconds:

1.  Wear a chic dress to work.  It can be a printed number like I'm wearing below, a S(orta)LBD, or whatevs.  It's totally up to you!
2a.  Keep a pair of fierce heels + an evening bag in your car/drawer because you think ahead like a total BAMF.
2b.  Trade in your everyday tote and kitten heels for the aforementioned sexy ass heels + fab clutch.
3.  BAM! You're good to go.

...annnnd I really didn't need make a list, but that's ok, ha!  This isn't a must by any means, but I also recommend keeping some spare jewelry in your desk.  Accessories are magical.  They'll take you from "good" to "damnnnnnn."  Yeah, I'm all sorts of eloquent today! *grins*
Speaking of jewelry, let's take a closer look at my swag courtesy of Lavisha.  Talk about affordable luxury - both pieces are seriously on point!  My necklace is made with dazzling Swarovski crystals and is finely handcrafted with authentic 925 sterling silver.  It's on sale HERE for $29.99!  My earrings are silver + magenta cubic zirconia - available here for $51.99 (originally $85.99) - and they're approximately 1.5" long.  They look amazing for casual AND formal looks alike!  FYI: they offer free shipping + returns, and their packaging in impeccable! #TreatYourself
