Must Have Shoes of the Week!!!!

As memorial weekend approaches, my thoughts range from finally having my mom's famous Criollo T- Bone steak to what the heck am I going to wear on my feet! Don't get me wrong, I don't dress up for BBQ's but I do want to look caaaauuuuteeee! So, as I started researching ( aka " Internet Window Shopping) I bumped into a couple of cute shoes. Depending on the ground and occasion, heels can be somewhat appropriate but you don't want to look over dressed so I prefer to go with some flats or wedges. Depending on how comfortable you want to be, you can decide which style works best. So below, I have posted some AFFORDABLE shoes that can look great on any complexion and body type. As for myself, I prefer the wedge because it makes me look longer meaning that I can eat more and I love how the air feels up there. lol.

NINE WEST 

Add some " Colorblocking" to your outfit with this beautiful wedge which is also available in Marine/Blue. " Milesbtwn" not only adds height and shapes your legs, but also is comfortable enough to enjoy your BBQ. This shoe is perfect if you are in a grassy area because of the solid colors. As far as the outfit, you don't have to worry too much because the shoe itself brightens up the look.

I know that some of my ladies want to be super comfy but trendy at the same time! Don't worry! I got you!! Play up some shorts with this very trendy oxford shoe. The grey is very chic but the colors give a sudden pop and adds playfulness to your look! I love this shoe and for the price, its definitely a steal.

As I continued looking through the website, I found very cute flat sandals.  The awesome thing about these sandals is that the detail plays as an accent and accessory to your outfit. You can simply add some color by applying a bright nail polish on your toesies. I wasn't a big fan of the tassels because I thought they made the sandal look cheap BUT after trying them on, they look cute.  They work well with mid length trousers. They are also available in two other colors- Congac and Fushia. 

Kukura- $35.00

STEVE MADDEN

Now, for the dramatic ladies like moi, I LOVE LOVE to add some drama to a simple outfit. You can simply wear a print and it literally changes your outfit. But a wedge and print?! Now that's drama!  This printed wedge looks great with shorts or a romper and it makes your legs look gorg! ( You know I'm all about the legs) You can play around by putting a bright nail polish! This style is available in black and nude as well.

Kardd- $129.00

Have fun this weekend. Look fabulous and share this post with other fashionistas!

Accessory report in Oporto, Portugal

Check my new purse out!!! As I roamed the streets of Portugal on a Saturday morning, I encountered a street full of people selling their creations. When I say I felt like I was in heaven- I am not lying! It was amazing and luckily I found something that totally describes my love for music and fashion. This purse is literally made up 2 vinyl records and a piece of material and must I say I am in love! I bought it for 18 Euros, which is about $24.80 
Amazing right!?

Move over belts...Sashes are in!

Sashes are in ladies! To me, this is an amazing news. If I am wearing a flowy top or dress, I love to wear a belt because it accentuates my waist. I have an athletic structure and I basically have to work with what I have.lol. But back to belts and sashes. Sashes are so pretty and elegant! Whether you just use a black one or if you get creative and chose prints. They add a delicate touch to your outfit because they are lighter and more flexible than belts. And the best part is that you are able to recycle those thin scarves you no longer use and make them into sashes! Its all about making it work and looking unique while doing it!

If you like this, please email some pictures of you rocking this look and I would love to post them here! Email pictures to Genesiscmg@gmail.com

BIG BRIMMED HATS

As you guys all know, I am in Barcelona, Spain. I will be touring around Europe so that I can keep all of you readers up to date with the hottest fashion, music and lifestyle. As I roamed the streets of Barcelonetta, I realized that Spaniards are very trendy. The distressed look is in. They are very big about comfort and literally look good at the same time- which is a plus! However, the chic and sophisticated look is also big here. I came across people who were wearing lovely "brimmed hats" As I shopped around, I found the perfect one and its sooo comfortable and trendy. You need to try several ones on because they all have a different shape. Not only they keep the sun out of your face, but they look amazing with trench coats and jackets as well. I will be posting up pictures soon ( internet is veryyy slow in Barcelona!) Meanwhile, check out the ones that Style.com picked out! Hasta Luego!! :)
