My View: After Christmas Sales!

Do you wait for after the holidays to take advantage of the sales? It is very tempting! 

Here are some current sales from Bobbins And Bombshell affiliate sponsors: 

 

 Lots of great shoes and boots on sale over at DNA Footwear! I'm eyeing these lace-ups from Seychelles. I used to wear boots like that in the 90's. Miss them!  Click the above DNA Footwear banner to get to the sale.

Ooooh! Shabby Apple is having a sitewide sale! Sitewide! Enter code NewYears at checkout to get 20% off everything, including already marked down items. Click the banner above to get to the sale. 

I'm eyeing (may be ordered after I write this post) this leopard skirt.

And if a leopard skirt is not enough, I'm also seriously considering the Josephine Corselette from What Katie Did! I could use a really good shaper after all of the holiday goodies I consumed this year! 

Again, click the banners to get to the sales. Happy shopping! 

On My Wish List: Ice Skate Boots

When I first saw this photo, I gasped wanting these knee high boots. When I looked closer I noticed that they are in fact ice skate boots! Look at the blade! 

From DSQUARED2. Amazing!

On My Wish List: Prada Mary Jane Boots

I'm in love with the Mary Jane color blocked boots from the Fall 2011 Prada collection. I've always been and still am a big fan of Mary Janes an ankle straps so these boots are (if money were no object) a no brainer for me!

Do you like them? Would you wear them?

Christmas Stockings and Boots; My Glamorous Holiday

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! I had a lovely and glamorous time. I absolutely love the Faryl Robin black leather knee high boots my sweetie gave me! Thanks babe!

Here I am dressed up for a Christmas party that was a blast! I am wearing my vintage 1960's wiggle LBD with the matching bolero jacket lined with blue flowers. The necklace is from Angel Court that I got at the Bust Craftacular earlier this month. My red suede shoes are one of my favorite pairs from Marc Fisher. And of course that's one of my feather headbands in my hair. The stockings I got years ago at Marshalls and I can't remember what brand they are. I originally was so excited to wear a pair of vintage seamed black fishnets from my vintage stocking collection that I haven't had a chance to wear yet. Unfortunately, with my height, 5'10", they were way to short and didn't reach my garters. Ugh! So I picked these instead, which are lovely. I have sadly realized that my gams are too long for my vintage stockings. My vintage loss could be your gain. I will be selling my unworn stockings very soon. So all of you lucky petites stay posted!!

And finally here I am in my cherry print bikini (not my best photo but whatev!) at Le Parker Meridien hotel pool! My sweetie and I decided on a "staycation" or "holistay" and spent Christmas Eve at a fab hotel a subway ride away. The penthouse pool overlooking Central Park was amazing and we had a blast!

So far my holiday season has been glamorous! I hope yours has been too.

xoxo and Happy Holidays!
