Lust/Must! Gucci VS Steve Madden!

I am super excited about this Lust/Must post!!!! 

It's been a long long time since I've done one but instead of it being weekly, I think I'd much rather make it a monthly thing!

I, like many other fashion loving individuals, have been obsessing over Gucci's Princetown Mule. But, the highly coveted slip on starts out at a cool 600 buckaroos! I've seen plenty of knock-offs in my search of the perfect look-a-like, but I just couldn't find the right one. I had almost given up when I came across these Steve Madden mules on Zappos.com! Like, why didn't I look there first?!?!

Not only were there different styles and colors, (and the fur lined, which is faux fur unlike the Gucci mule that is lined with poor kangaroo fur, and almost 1k! Not cool!) they were right in my price range, starting out around 80 bucks and free shipping of course!!! I bought a pair right away and I can't wait to wear them with everything!!!

I ended up buying these cute ones with the bees, but I'm dying to get the silver ones!! You could literally buy 6 pairs for the cost of one pair of the Gucci ones! 

Shout out to Steve Madden for making super cute shoes at affordable prices!!

But, if you've got it like that and want a pair of the Gucci mules, just click on the banner below!

(And good for you for having it like that!!)

It's been busy, busy, busy over here lately.
 The weather has been trying to get better but really, its just been gross and rainy. Especially if I'm off that day! Just my luck, but I am looking forward to the warmer weather and swim suits and sunshine!
I'm getting ready for a trip to Tennessee next week with my Dad. I'm looking forward to seeing my family there! It's always fun road tripping with my Dad!
I'm lucky enough to be off for the next couple of days! And while I'd love to relax the entire time, I've got a couple of Ikea dressers that Ive needed to put together for a while now. Maybe I'll finally get them done!!!
Until next time folks!

Here's this week's links:

This kitten is the cutest thing on the internet right now!

I decided to try out the Dirty Lemon detox water. I wasn't a huge fan, for the price, but I'll let you be the judge.

I literally CAN'T EVEN with this current administration and all the nonsense that has been going on!

Currently reading this book, recommended by the great Warren Buffet.

If you're shopping for dainty jewelry, check out Vrai & Oro! I just got a set of stacking rings and I adore them! I've got my eyes on a couple of other pieces!!!

I am completely addicted to these Harry & David Milk Chocolate Cherries! There's still time for Mother's Day!

Have you guys seen the new Amazon Echo Look?!?!?!? I want one! It is literally the coolest thing I've seen! It's sold by invitation only. I did request an invitation though!
Here's hoping!!

Timex for Mother's Day!!!

 

                                   

You literally can not go wrong with a watch as a gift, for any occasion, in my opinion. And if you're going to go the watch route,  Timex is the perfect choice!! Timex is my "personal favorite" brand of watch. You've probably noticed them here and there on the blog!!!
They're really great watches! They are well made, classic timepieces and they've been around for well over a century! (since 1854 peeps!)
Remember how cool the Indiglo watches were when they came out in the 90's?!? I mean, you weren't cool if you didn't have one! I was lucky enough to get one for Christmas from my Dad. He's always been a Timex wearer too. He's gotten me a couple throughout the years. See!!
They make perfect gifts anytime!!

 So you know, Mother's Day is literally just around the corner right!?! (May 14th!!!)

Style Icon ~ 01 ~ Michelle Williams

Style Icon 01

Michelle Williams

                     

Ever since I was first introduced to her as Jen Lindley on Dawson's Creek, I have had the largest girl crush on Miss Williams! I mean, look at her! She's like Brigitte Bardot meets girl next door. Beautiful, yet relatable. 

Did you know she was on Baywatch five years before her breakout role on Dawson's Creek?!? She was among the 90's gals that I, and many others idolized in our teens. Then she went and lived our teen dreams by hooking up with Heath (freaking) Ledger!!

Remember when?

RIP Heath Ledger

Since then she has really come into her own, taking what I would consider more serious roles, aside from Oz, The Great and Powerful. I mean, I liked that movie but it wasn't necessarily serious.

She's won numerous awards for her roles from Brokeback Mountain to the more recent Manchester by the Sea. 

I really loved her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn. She won a Golden Globe for that outstanding performance.

Michelle's personal style is not unlike my own. That probably stems from the fact that I have followed her from the beginning. She definitely has that East-coast, down-to-earth style! 

 

Louis Vuitton Muse

Since he replaced Marc Jacobs as creative director for L.V. in 2013, Nicholas Ghesquiere has had many muses, among them is non other than our style icon! She's been doing ad campaigns for them since 2013!

Michelle Williams is a Style Icon for the ages.

This Week's Links!

This week went by pretty quickly and I love when that happens! There's really nothing worse than a work week that drags by so slowly, you literally think you're never going to make it to the end! Now, granted I do work in retail, so the weekends aren't much of a rest, but I've come to accept that. For me any time I'm off two days in a row, no matter the days they happen to fall on, that is my weekend! Weekends off are great though because if The Hubs is off, we finally get to spend some QT with one another! This weekend, unfortunately, is not that weekend. He's off and I'm working. Next weekend I'm off and he'll be working! Ain't life grand! 

Here's this week's links! Enjoy!!
