They’re baaaa-aaaaack! Did you miss them?

Gladiator sandals are making a comeback for the spring 2015 season and they are being shown in all sizes. Tall gladiators, flat gladiators, high heel gladiators; they are all important for the spring 2015 season. Are you ready for this trend?

Gladiator sandals can be worn any which way this spring 2015 season. The flat styles can be worn with casual attire while high heels versions are appropriate for dressier occasions. You can go for an avant-garde look with tall gladiator sandals or keep it low key in ankle high styles. Whichever style suits you personal style, there is a gladiator sandal for you this spring 2015 season.

When gladiator sandals came into style several years ago, the tall version was the most sought-after. Last year, when gladiators started to return to the fashion scene, only the low styles were appropriate. Now, for the spring 2015 season, you can wear any type of gladiator sandal style you wish! Love that!

If you wore this trend before, you might be able to shop your closet for gladiator sandals this spring. If not, look for neutral colors and any style that catches your eye. I found a few fabulous pairs of gladiator sandals for spring 2015 around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! I have my eyes on the black flat-form pair and the nude high heel pair shown above. Which styles do you like?

Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

Gucci Black Gold nail polish review

Pictured: Gucci Black Gold nail polish. One base coat, two coats of color. Photo taken during morning golden hour.

I have been admiring Gucci’s beauty products from afar for quite some time now. When I spotted Black Gold at the Gucci beauty counter, I decided I had to try it. After all, it is an unusual color, and I love unusual nail polish colors!

Gucci Black Gold nail polish is a dark, sparkling black with heavy gold sparkles. It can also look chocolate brown at times. It has a little bit of a disco flair to it. The color is also a neutral, making it easy to wear on a daily basis.

I tested out Gucci Black Gold nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color; no top coat. The nail polish was strong; it last ed a full seven days! The only reason I took it off was because my nails had started to grow, and I don’t like seeing growth at the bottom of my nail-beds.

I definitely want to test out more nail polish colors from Gucci. They are fresh hues, and the polish is long lasting. Love that!

Squiggle pumps and fringe

Pictured: Earrings: Kendra Scott / Lipstick: Chanel 93 In Time / Ruched tee: Banana Republic (sold out, also love this one) / Skirt: BCBG / Handbag: YSL (Old, also love SAVE or SPLURGE) / Nail Polish: Chanel Tenderly / Bracelets: Kendra Scott / Shoes: Christian Louboutin

Squiggle squiggle! From the moment I laid my eyes on these Christian Louboutin squiggle pumps, I knew I needed them in my life. They are basic black, peep-toe pumps with a twist! Or should I say “squiggle.” 😉 I was excited to have a recent girl’s night out with my friends where I could wear these shoes and wiggle the evening away!

To complete the look, because sometimes I dress from the shoes up, I decided to wear my new BCBG fringe skirt. I purchased this skirt to wear in New York next month for fashion week, but decided it needed to be worn ahead of time in honor of the Christian Louboutin Squiggle pumps and grabbing sushi with my friends. What other occasion do I have to wear a fringe skirt? As a Mother of three, I don’t go out at night too often, so when I have the chance, I dress up!

I’m excited to wear this skirt again in New York next month and I am eagerly looking for another occasion to wear these squiggle pumps. Unfortunately they will not go to New York with me. I need shoes with traction in order to survive the snow and ice on the ground back east!

This will be my go-to look for spring when I head out to dinner with my hubby and/or go out at night! What is your current go-to, night on the town outfit?
