Fashion Friday - S.A.A.

S.A.A.?! You say to yourself? What the hell is this girl talking about! She makes up words like "revolutioniers" and now she is creating acronyms? She's Crazy! <---No I'm not ~~yes I am slightly but that's okay~~!

Shoe Addicts Anonymous.

Yep, it is as simple as that. My name is Nicole and I am addicted to shoes. So addicted that I was put on a limit of 12 pairs per year. It doesn't matter how I obtain the 12 pairs either. So if they are gifted or bought...doesn't matter, they count against my number. Bummer right?!

Here's the thing, I just love them so much and I wear all of them! Not one pair is ever left out! EVER!! So I don't see what the big deal is! My husband on the other hand does find it to be a big deal! LAME!

These are my current fav's. Of courses the Louboutin are my splurge pair that I may just need to invest in very soon!

Fashion Friday - A Beachy Confession

It's time for Fashion Friday yet again. This week the D.C. area (and pretty much everyone below Canada) has hit a HUGE heat wave! When I say huge I mean HUGE! 99 degrees...and it isn't even JULY people! Yesterday temperatures raised to a hundred degrees but.... felt more like 106-110 because of the horrible humidity!!! Dumb D.C. area! I love you but why must you be so stinkin' humid! [Thank goodness I am traveling to Maine again this summer for a little relief!]

This weather makes me long for the beach. Dropping my toes in the water and soaking up some much needed sun to give my wintery skin a nice healthy glow (yes, I am aware there is some slight controversy over the sun but I am responsible and only spend time in the sun outside of the danger hours; 10-2). I just love removing the sand from ~~every crevice~~ my tote bag and cooler! So annoying!

I have, however, a confession to admit: (*Singing Usher's Confession song as I type...Old Skool BABY!*)

Although I love the beach, I rarely EVER get to go. And I am never quite comfortable in a bathing suit since, well ever! It's gotten worse since I had a baby! Bikini's are a definite "NO GO!" I haven't worn one since my belly started to show with my daughter over seven years ago. Mostly, I usually wear Tankini's but they really feel weird lately and I am tired of feeling weird! So I have been searching for a bathing suit that will be my "go to" suit for the summer and to my surprise I am falling in love with one piece suits. This is very strange for me since I kind of always had some sort of bathing suit complex since my mom made me do the swim team as a kid. [DISCLAIMER: There is nothing wrong with "swim team;" it was just wrong that I was "made" to do it and I hated everything about it including the swimwear!] I digress...

I am loving that one piece suits are making a fierce comeback. And they are actually cute, not like those ugly Speedo's! *SHOCKER* For Fashion Friday I put together another Polyvore creation of what is not only an adorable suit by Kenneth Cole [***ALERT: ON SALE FOR $50 at MACY'S!!!***] but a typical outfit I would show up to the beach with. P.S. I LOVE Pink & GREEN!
