It feels like FOREVER!

I apologize it has been so long since I posted!

I could give you some lame excuses on how I got behind in school, work and relationship stuff. But we all know I fell off the trying to save money band wagon ages ago. My sister was totally right!

From now on 52 Shoes and Counting will get a face lift (deleting some old posts and changing the center of this blog). This blog will revolve around fashion still, but the aspects of it I have not shown you viewers.

1) Living the life of the fashion student

2) My sewing and crafting expertise (the very little I have)

3) Sewing Machine reviews (Maybe...)

4) My own personal style/ trends

5) Anything else that interests me

So hopefully I can stick to just posting, instead of avoiding shopping!

Thank you all,

January 24th (Broke, but Still Fashionable)

Ok lets just admit it, I really fell off the band wagon. I have not steered away from spending my money. Ok so I have some legit reasons:

1) I have been shedding the pounds as I hit the gym so I cannot hide behind loose sweaters no more so here are a few photos of me in my new body. Lol that sounds so lame...

Quite a ways to go...
Newer photos will be added when I can find my camera adapter.
As for a way to stop spending I just left NY & CO so I will need to find another way to make money. Maybe the lack of funds will stop me from spending? Who knows, all I can do is hope so and luckily soon I can get back to sewing so hopefully I can show you guys how to make pj bottoms as soon as I get the fabric.

January 23rd (Long Lean Little Fashion Machine!)

I apologize it really has been forever. I have been finding myself in different ways... yes as cheesy as it may sound I have found through my amazing boyfriend that I should not settle for less. I am young, pretty, smart and who knew but strong!

It's nothing like a boyfriend in the military to bring out your inner wonder woman :) As proof of my confidence here is a new look!

This look except for the shoes is Express! One of my all time fave stores a great place to pick up trendy, young styles. Of course it is on the pricey side. Yes my new years resolution has gone done the drain what can I say it is so hard to wear the same clothing all year! I have been trying! I swear!

As for this look black is a must have especially with a light color. It is a great feminine combination, feel great in shorts and show off your amazing curves!

Until next time stay stylish! :)

January 22nd (Leather & Lace)

I have been busy, and maybe ashamed that yes I have once more broke my new years resolution. I spent all my tax return money on clothes and my trip to New York. And what an amazing trip it was, I had never been there before and afterwards I have already found my apartment (One overlooking central park, any of them I am not picky)

Lets get back to fashion, as I am sure that is why you are here...

This photo may not be fantastic, but here I want to let you know that hard and soft elements work well together.

Leather & Lace

January 21st (I Love you Like a Love Song Baby)

I like the sound of being my guy's girlfriend, now I feel inclined to dress amazing everyday. Not that I wasn't before. When he itroduces me to people he knows; and this guy is so lovable that he knows everyone, I always hope I look great.

January 20th (One of the Boys)

Now since I started dating my new boyfriend, I began befriending his buds and boys. Being slightly younger then them I have tried proving age differences do not count when it comes to love by dressing maturely to impress everyone.

Dressing to impress can go two ways, either you can go causual or dress up. I have been doing a little of both, hey you know me any excuse to wear high heels.

Heres a question; why is age so important?

January 19th (Girly, Sexy, Confident Me)

Today my college went back in session, well on the date posted above. Anyways you know the drill new semester, new teachers and more homework oh boy. Couldn't I just have like maybe five more weeks of break, you know a break for your break?

 The first day back is always the hardest, especially when you want to find the perfect outfit that describes yourself. For me? I guess my list would be girly, a tiny bit sexy, and gives me a somewhat confident look even if I do not feel 100% confident.

Girly: The shoes, top and studs.
Sexy: My tinted Burts Bees lip balm, this stuff rocks! It does not dry out your lips and it is all natural, now that's sexy.
Confidence: My loyal jeggings, they will always fit me even on fat days, remember the food baby? Also it helps when my hair is tamed.
