Lorissa*

The Sam Edleman Lorissa pump is back for the Spring 2012 collection with new textures and colors, I HAVE to have a pair I just don't know which ones! They are available at Bloomies, Nordstrom, etc for about $225

Foundation

In my personal opinion shapewear is a strong foundation for a gorgeous outfit. Slim women turn their noses up to us fuller figure girls who do wear shapewear ;  but you gals who are not 100% tight look SLOPPY without it! Now don't get me wrong I don't wear shapewear everyday of my life but when I have on a body hugging dress or a crop top you won't catch me slipping. I just feel like everything looks so much better when you have a nice smooth silhouette. Your favorite's Beyonce and Kim Kardashian even wear shapewear HA!

Another thing that grinds my gears is women who don't wear stockings in the Winter....you don't look sexy you look STUPID! There's sooooooooo many sexy pairs of stockings c'mon! My personal favorite stockings are sheer and nude my legs look airbrushed! my personal favorite body shaper is a thong waist cincher from Victoria's Secret holds in my tummy and allows my hips and booty to be free ;-) Now that I've given you my secrets (LOL) use them! PLEASE invest in your foundation ladies, it's just as important as your dress or shoes, without it your whole look is ruined - I'm tired of seeing your guts and jiggly thighs.

PS I'm not trying to offend ANYONE I have a pudgy stomach and jiggly thighs but you would never know because I have the correct foundation :-) 

your truly in stockings and shapewear

me again stockings and shapewear

Cupcake Creations

I'm an excellent baker (so I've been told) BUT I'm a horrible cake/cupcake decorator! I love adorable cupcakes but I just can't seem to produce them, mine don't look horrible but I just want a gorgeous presentation to match the taste! I came across a tumblr page earlier this week TheCakeBar and I saw some really cute designs that I KNOW I can recreate and add my own flair to, I definitely will be trying these for Valentine's day ;-)

Vanilla Kiss

Choco Cherry Sweethearts

Rainbow Colorburst

Lemon Strawberry Sweethearts

Mason Jar Red Velvet

Vanilla Bean Cupcakes by me

Devil's Food also by me

ALL of these look fairly easy to recreate and they are so cute!

Elegant Stud

Every stylish girl in the tri-state area including myself has been  going bananas over the Jeffrey Campbell Lita's the past year or so but I recently spotted these Elegant Studs on Sole Struck and I think they're adorable! TOTALLY different from his usual collections but of course still hot! They'll cost you $145 which isn't bad considering all of the detailing and studs

Organization

I am not afraid to admit I'm a product junkie, from shampoo to lotion to lipstick to primer I have many different brands, the problem is I often forget what I have because none of my products are properly organized. I remember watching the Kardashian's and seeing the girls have these nice clear cosmetic organizers Kim said Kris had them specially made but of course I googled them and they are available at a variety of places. I will definitely be purchasing one or two.

these three are from amazon.com and range from $10-$20
