Be still my heart, while my brain calculates how to get these BALENCIAGAs into my life!

Here I’ve done a bit of leg work and picked 5 of my favorite nude shoes under $50 You can’t beat that! More money left for the drinks on the girls night out, right?

1 - $24.80 on Forever21 – Simple and perfect to pair with jeans and a summer skirt.

2 - $48.30 on Macys.com -INC International Concepts Shoes, Babette Pumps, was $69.00

3 - $33.00 on lulus.com – These Bamboo Magarita Nude Patent Keyhole Platform Slingbacks remind me of these pair of Sergio Rossi. Very classy with a tiny peep hole.

4 – $44.83 on asos.com – ASOS POCKET Court Shoe in a different shade of nude called Dark Nude. I would rather this shade as I have a darker skin tone, and it would give the illusion of lengthen my legs.

5 – $39.50 on torrid.com – These System Nude Patent Leather heels come in a wide width , isn’t that great?

Make all the dumb blond jokes you want, but don’t expect them to slow down this miniature powerhouse.

When Jessica Simpson came into our homes via her Reality TV show “Newlyweds” with then husband Nick Lachey, many people were hooked not because they thought the show was good, but because they were entertained to see what “dumb” things Jessica would say that would have Nick rolling his eyes; like the time she thought “Chicken of the Sea” tuna was actually chicken.

Since then, the TV series has come to an end, there has been a divorce and many rumors surronding her personal love life with stars like John Mayer.

However, popularity has its rewards.  When the Camuto group ( company behind Nine West and Vince Camuto) approached Jessica Simpson about a shoe line she reveals “I jumped right on board,”… “Vince Camuto is definitely a role model to me when it comes to making shoes. He just believed in me from ‘Newlyweds’ [her former MTV reality show that ran from August 2003 through March 2005]. He just thought I could relate to the everyday consumer, and that I had it in me to design and wear the product.”

Since then her name has skyrocketed to include 22 licensing agreements for junior sportswear, dresses, handbags, fashion jewelry, intimate apparel and fragrances.

Simply put , because of her music and her reality TV show she was “well enough” known for the company to attach a brand that consumers would find familiar to relate.

Behind every powerful young star is an even more powerful mother: There is a Tina behind Beyonce and there is a Tina behind Jessica. She shares the present duties with her mom Tina who handles all the monthly business trips to New York to meet people and see the licensed products.

Who owns the red shoe sole?

Can you tell the difference?

The famous French footwear designer Christian Louboutin has entered into a litigation war with iconic french couture house Yves Saint Laurent, for what it claims to be infringement on the use of their ”red sole” design on shoes.

According to business week “Louboutin, based in Paris, said Yves Saint Laurent is selling shoes with red soles that are “virtually identical” to its own, according to a suit filed today in federal court in Manhattan. It seeks a court injunction against the sale of the shoes and damages of at least $1 million.”

So far Yves Saint Laurent , the company that is now owned by Paris-based PPR,  has no comments. Let’s see what evolves as the weeks progress.

Yves Saint Laurent passed away in 2008.

These photos are from weeks ago (before Paris fashion week) , but I should put it up – will post more looks in the days to come.

Hopefully my outfit can inspire you to rock something that’s just been hanging in your closet.

Wearing H&M coat, Lanvin Denim Heels, Bel Air Handbag, (White Sweater, Levi Jeans , and Scarf ) Thrifted

Buzz Lightyear – Reach for the sky!

You want a piece of me? You talkin to me? ( Taxi Driver voice) lol

I’ve had this bag for 3 years, bought it on sale at Bel Air Paris, and it has never failed me yet. You can expand it too and it goes with just about everything – or I make it go with every thing.

Stop playing Mommy, let’s go.

These old Levi’s are so freaking comfortable, they have now taken the spot in my heart ( and closet) usually reserved for my 10 years old Diesels.  These denim Lanvin heels are from back here, but I don’t really wear them at all.

My look  on this day was all about comfort (movie and brunch with son). I usually come off looking like a homeless person if I don’t wear some killer heels with these ripped jeans, you know gotta dress em up a bit.

I’m still on the 30 day shopping cleanse, and I feel like a crack head in rehab, the first couple of days was rough, but now I feel lighter, and yes I still get tempted every time I ride pass a Zara and I itch like a mofo when I ride on Rue St.Honore, but then  I think simplicity is the sweetest form of sophistication sometimes, I don’t need to buy stuff that’s going to be out of trend next season anyways.

Sometimes, believe it or not I get really tired with fashion!  It’s like my man ( I like to think that in another life we were best buds) Yves Saint Laurent said, “Fashions fade, style is eternal.”

Do you guys have a favorite pair of jeans and if so what are they and what do you wear them with?

And don’t forget to follow us on FACEBOOK and TWITTER.

I can tell you from experience that these shoes are like walking on heaven, seriously I should do a ” I can’t believe its wicker” ad , similar to the “I can’t believe its not butter ads. You can see photos of me wearing my Yves Saint Laurent Wedge sandals here.

You can find many of their shoes and espadrilles on Selfridges.com

It’s not right to say that these are fake Alexander Wang shoes, but the similarities are just too obvious to ignore, and in the past F21 has made no excuses as to their use of the runway for fashion “inspiration”, remember these Chloe knockoff shoes?

Harpers Bazaar believes that “Fakes are never in fashion“, but somehow replicas are…

You be the judge, would you buy these cheap-er Alexander Wang  style shoes for $29.80 or the real leather shoes $517.00?
