{Arm} Party Swag

Anyone who knows me, knows i've been rocking the arm party for years! Even before the Manrepeller coined the popular phrase. Yes, I rocked the giant bracelets. I've even been known for wear close to 75 super thin multicolored bangles at any given point. (Let's be real, the only thing stopping me from wearing more was that i didn't have anymore.)

But since then my arm party has evolved from a drunken frat party look, to a more streamlined, functional, yet fun arm party. I'm absolutely obsessed with a 2 key pieces that I wear everyday. And if i don't wear them, i feel naked. Like when you forget your phone and you feel completely lost, like your gonna have a panic attack if you don't check Instagram (FB, <--enter your own iphone app addiction here) feeling? Yeah that's how I feel when I forget my gold watch & my Tiffany's bracelet.

Here's a look at the key pieces that I wear/mix almost everyday into my arm party.

On the Bright Side

I decided to officially bring out my new ShoeDazzle heels and give them a test drive. Aren't they great? I'm surprised at how comfortable they are. Maybe I'm just getting old, but it's been hard to walk in super tall heels like these, but these are good! I can't wait to mix them in with more outfits. They are the perfect pop of color that will brighten your day!

Shoe of the Day: Jessica Simpson

This week i decided to add a Shoe of the Day post to spice it up a bit. The name is Platforms & Peep-toes, so why not feature my favorite platform peep-toes by the mile high shoe designer Jessica Simpson. I found these lovely JS Sabina 5 in wedges at Nordstrom Rack a few months ago. For 5 inch wedges, these are surprisingly comfortable. But would you expect anything less from Mrs Simpson? I like to wear them to work with a light weight dress (like below) or with a pair of black tuxedo shorts & a blouse. They also came in patent hot pink, but they weren't in my size. If you see them in a size 7.5, please send them my way!

Bauble Bar

Ummm, did someone forget to tell the accessories whore about Bauble Bar??? Holy neon bib necklaces batman! This site is crazy good! My left arm went numb and I had to pop a Bayer to get my heart going again when I found this site! I've been on this site everyday looking for my next fix! Between the turquoise-ball bib necklace and all the day glow necklaces, I'm gonna need a new wall to affix hooks to! Please do yourself a favor, and visit Bauble Bar today!

My Target Obsession

Ok anyone who knows me, knows i'm obsessed with Target. I go to Target every Sunday even if i don't need anything. Target has everything i need and don't need, but still buy anyways. If they only sold gas, MAC, NYX, Kiehl's and Victoria Secret under garments, I'd really only shop there. Target makes me happy. it makes my credit cards sad, but sometimes, sacrifices must be made when Target decides to bring out leopard print wedges or when I decide i need yet another pair of leggings. So picture my surprise when I see that Target had a Fall 2012 Brand Preview and I wasn't invited! Blasphemy! I'd be lying if I said i wasn't a wee bit sad, but then I saw the pictures from the event. I am so excited! Leopard, Navajo, lots of arm party potential!! Oh this fall is going to be insanely fashionable. Take a look for yourself!
