Fashion Without Guilt: 5/1/10

Pictures from my Trip to NYC

I am sorry I have been somewhat M.I.A lately. At my place of employment they have put restrictions on websites that we are allowed to view and of course BLOGGER was one of the chosen few.

So when I would usually have time to write post at lunch and throughout the day, that now is not possible. So I have to wait till after work to write post, and as of late I have no time post I have been SO BUSY. But THANK YOU to ALL THAT READ FASHION WITHOUT GUILT, I am forever grateful.

Here are some more pictures from my trip to NYC. The photos are ranging from random sighting seeing to just some places that I visited while in the BIG APPLE. So I hope that you enjoy and there are still more to come. I took some many pictures it's ridiculous.

Still to come Independent Fashion Blogger's Social Influence Conference and I meet some of the biggest bloggers out there. STAY TUNED.

The food was EXCELLENT.

Just a random shot before heading back to my hotel for the night.

Just so happen when I went to visit NEW YORK it was Chinese New Year, so that is where the dragons and the confetti came from. I had a blast that day exploring NYC all by myself. There are so many people here and there it makes you feel alive. I heard Jay-Z and Alicia Keys in my mind. "Concrete jungle, where dreams are made of, there is nothing you can do, Now your in NY, NY, NY. Aww LOVE THIS PLACE!!! LOL.

My Favorite Heels-Mossimo® Virginia Nude Pumps for $30

Target Missimo Virginia $29.99

Where do I begin? Maybe a couple of months ago, as I was browsing through the shoe section in Target and I came across these "GEMS". As we all know that nude is a very huge trend this summer, having a great pair of "go-to" nudies are the only way to go.

I try to wear them every chance I get. Trying to find the right nude shade and tone can be difficult sometimes. But the Virginia heel from Target is definetly a woman's staple wardrobe item.

If you plan on doing some shoe shopping anytime soon I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting a pair of these Bad Boys. ASAP.

P.S. I think I am going to buy another pair just so that I can have them for the fall because I am going to get my money's worth this summer.

Seen In Action-Kim Kardashian wearing Forever 21 Beaded Tribal Necklace

Kim Kardashian's stylist Monica Rose has a personal blog displaying clients including Mrs. Kim K.

I love Monica Rose. Her way of bringing sexy/trendy/chic together is always a winner. I AM A HUGE FAN. I would also consider myself similar to her design aesthetic. I love to look like a woman but still make a statement.

Yesterday I can across a outfit styled for Kim and noticed that the necklace looked similar to the Forever 21 Beaded Tribal Necklace for $7.80,and sure enough it is. I love when celebrities mix high end items with the everyday affordable pieces.

And MONICA ROSE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!

H&M Fashion Aganist AIDS 2010 Collection

On May 20, 2010, H&M will launch its third Fashion Against AIDS campaign. H&M is launching their first festival collection, 25% of sales will be donated to youth HIV/AIDS awareness projects. Sold in Divided youth departments, the collection price point range from about $18-$100. Primarily there is only one item in the collection that is selling at the $100 mark, everything is very reasonably priced. The proceeds will raise funds to promote the message of safe sex.

H&M never disappoints. The design aesthetic of the H&M brand is something that I truly admire. While still keeping everything in moderate starting in price, they do not sacrifice quality and can always give the consumer what they want. H&M I take my hat off to you. Here! Here!

I will be at the front doors on next thursday because who can ever pass up a collection by H&M. I can't LOL.
