Shoesday Tuesday

I think by now everyone knows I am pretty much shoe obsessed. But one thing you might not know is that I am VERY particular about sandals. I'm not a huge fan of flats so when I do wear them they have to be pretty special and let me tell you these are! Allow me to tell you a little about them... 

They are AMMOS by Kitty Sandals exclusively for DK's Style Hut. They are handmade in Skiathos Greece and Kitty Galani is the original designer. They will last forever! Here are your color options, natural (shown below), gold braid, very dark brown braid (almost black), and blue suede braid. Not only are they of such high quality, and will last forever and they are only $59.99. Trust me when I say you need these in your life. Buy them today at DK Style Hut

Now for a little Fast Tip Tuesday! Ok so summer means pedicures right? Of course. But how to make them last? Well my first tip is to splurge on gel polish for your toes. That's what I do and since I don't always have a lot of time to worry about my toes this is perfect for me because I will probably go about a month and not think about them. But, if you're not into that here are a few tips to help your pedi last.

  • It truly takes about 12 hours for polish to dry even with your quick dry top coat. So don't jump in the hot tub or sauna.
  • Since it does take that long for those 12 hours don't wear socks or close toes shoes.
  • Apply a layer of top coat every other day to prevent chips.
  • Keep scented lotions away from your feet, it might cause your polish to crack.

Professionally Polished

Recently, I went to a networking event for my jewelry job. One great thing about where I work is that personal style is encouraged. After all, that is what drives the jewelry industry in the first place. But it is a wonderful thing to be able to put different outfits together every day. Sometimes exhausting but mostly fun. For this event in particular, I needed a professional but still stylish getup. The navy and cream was a nice change from the usual black. Also I'm telling you these shoes have saved countless ensembles!  They always add style no matter what the look. I think every woman should have a leopard pair of pumps in their closet. Trust me!

You can find these shoes at  DSW

So speaking of my style, allow me to give you a total inspiration to me. Diane Von Furstenburg! I've always been obsessed with her. So much so that my Mom gave me her book by DVF from 1977 (don't be confused by the bookmark). She was and always will be an inspiration to stylish women everywhere. As I've said I'm not too far into her newest book but so far...amazing!

De "light" ful!

Honestly, I wish I had even more time to cook. I wish that I could spur of the moment find a recipe and make it. Unfortunately, working until 6:00 through the week prevents me from doing that. Needless to say I've got to get my act together on Sunday and make a menu and shopping list for the week. If I don't do that then all week I am trying to play catch up with my meals.

By the time that I burst through the door anywhere from 6:15- 6:30 my head is already spinning about what I need to do to start prepping dinner. In a perfect world I could take my time and just hang out in the kitchen leafing through my favorite cookbook looking for a dinner to make. So instead I do this on Sunday's and even though I have a few books, Skinnytaste by Gina Homolka is my favorite. None of the meals are too complicated and they are all on the light side. In fact, every night this week has been a Skinnytaste meal. Here is a little peek into my daily life.

Monday was Buffalo Chicken Melts. Oh my gosh absolutely delicious! It's just as easy as it looks too.

Tuesday was Grilled Lamb which is such a nice change to the normal chicken or steak and the sprig of Rosemary is just the perfect touch.
