Dressing Up With Joy

The Knot-In-the-Tee Or What To Wear On July 4th

Yes, having one of those days when I can't think of a creative post title:-) But this outfit makes a perfect July 4th outfit, don't you think? Speaking of outfit - I got this tee shirt from Forever 21 for $2.99 couple of years ago. It is odd shaped-  little too wide at the hem - so I usually tie it up in a knot. In this this simple skirt- tee shirt look, the knot gives a little extra detail and interest! And thanks to TJMaxx Twitter giveaway, I won a giftcard and got the perfect nautical espadrilles for the summer! They are tall, but very comfortable, loving them! And they cost just $24.99!




These are not chalk-highlights in my hair - just the weird way sunlight was hitting  through the leaves!

Kate Middleton Is Not The Only One To Debut The Up-Do Over The Weekend!

As they say, there is first time or everything!! Today is the first time for my top knot hair bun! Seriously, I have NEVER made a high bun like this before! Reason - my hair never stay in place neatly in a top knot, and I absolutely hate using strong-hold sprays or poking my scalp with hundreds of pins! I never found a way to keep my hair up high like this without the pins or the chemicals - until I met very stylish, talented and gorgeous Lindsey at Nina Shoes Fall 2012 preview! She had this amazingly chic hair up-do and I totally fell in love with it! Lindsey was so very sweet to share her sock-bun video tutorial with me (you can see it on her Facebook page) and here I am, hair up and all:-) I am also linking this post to Monday Mingle link up, hope to see you there!
Ain't I the wardrobe preserver! This dress has been gracing my closet since 2003, yes siree!!




So What do you think of my up-do? Thumbs up or down?

Nina Shoes Fall 2012 Preview - A Feast For The Eyes!

If I have to chose one word to describe Nina Shoes, I'd go with glamorous! That is why Nina Shoes has been a favorite pick of celebrities on the red carpet and glittering parties and sell almost 10 million pairs of shoes a year!! The NY based brand that would celebrate its 60th anniversary next year brings sparkle, color and beautiful sophistication to the fore front of its Fall 2012 collection. I had a chance to attend the preview of Nina Shoes fall 2012 collection in NYC and was totally blown away by the craftsmanship, designs and sheer beauty of their shoes and handbags. One look, and you too will fall in love with them!











The gorgeous details of beaded, embroidered and jeweled handbags from Nina Shoes are simply breathtaking - their clutches do some serious multitasking - working as a bag and a piece of jewelry.





Nina Shoes are priced from $80 - $130 and handbags are from $40 - $180. The fall 2012 collection not only has the signature party styles but new day-to-evening sophisticated clutches and handbags in chic animal prints and embossed leather. 



The design team at Nina Shoes is  team is really enthusiastic about the bridal collection, and they have the reason for this! Their bridal collection is a one stop shop for brides, bridesmaids and the bridal party because the colors, shades and fabric of the shoes and accessories match perfectly!  Whats even better - you can custom design the shoes for the occasion depending on the color theme of the wedding or the party! Seriously, you can even chose what color of the sole your shoe would have - bright yellow or sparkling silver or plain black!
Just click to pick your own custom design and you are a shoe designer!! How fun is that!

You can buy Nina Shoes footwear, handbags and accessories from their website www.ninashoes.com (they offer free shipping and free returns!!) or from department stores like Nordstrom, Lord And Taylor, Macy's or from reputed online retailers like Zappos and Piperlime.
For stylish updates, exciting giveaways, and newest addition to Nina Shoes collection, follow Nina Shoes on Twitter and Facebook! As they say at Nina shoes - Stay glamorous, Wear Nina!

I got a beautiful pair of bejewled leather foldable flats from Nina Shoes. Stay tuned for my review in an upcoming post!
