I am a sucker for a product with a cause. I am also a sucker for a fabulous sandal! So, when the two are combined, the world is a better place 😉 

As a fan of Stuart Weitzman, I was overjoyed to receive an email advertising his spring 2015 Leg Wrap sandal. Not only have I been eyeing this beautiful pair of sandals since they first hit his website a few weeks ago, I was now given a reason to actually buy a pair! Proceeds from the sale of Stuart Weitzman’s Leg Wrap sandal go directly to Dr. Marsha A. Moses Cancer Research Initiatives. Information on her work here. Love that!

Stuart Weitzman’s Leg Wrap sandal Dr. Marsha A. Moses Cancer Research Initiatives is a beautiful on-trend shoe which is fabulous for the spring 2015 season. The Leg Wrap Sandal benefiting Dr. Marsha A. Moses Cancer Research Initiatives by Stuart Weitzman are made in red, yellow, black, denim, and platinum noir which is a beautiful, soft metallic hue.

Shoes with ties, wraps, and straps are hot for the warm weather season. Not only is the shoe itself on-trend, it is a versatile piece! These fabulous high heeled sandals can easily be worn with a pair of this season’s boot cut or flare jeans, to spice up a casual look, or paired with a dress for evening occasions. The black or platinum noir pair are perfect for pairing with semi-formal attire, cocktail dresses, and even gala gowns! Now how’s that for versatility?!

I am trying to decide whether to purchase the denim, black, or platinum noir pair of Stuart Weitzman’s Leg Wrap Sandal. Which color do you love?

Asia Fashion Collection showed their new collection for fall / winter 2015 / 2016 on February 14, 2015 in The Salon at Lincoln Center during New York Fashion Week. Asia Fashion Collection features designs from Vantan Design Institute. As a result, the collection features innovative and fresh designs from multiple designers from the institute.

Designers from Asia Fashion Collection created edgy designs which pushed the boundaries of traditional fashion. The designs fused artistic expression together with wearable art; creating a thought-provoking collection which transcends seasonal trends; and what we think fashion should be. Love that!

The creations on the Asia Fashion Collection runway at New York Fashion Week were playful; fusing together modern prints and silhouettes with personal expression. Designers also played with volume which created flattering drape, silhouettes, and overall ensembles. The collections inspired onlookers to think past trends and traditional style in order to take oneself back to a time when getting dressed was fun, playful, and personal.

Isn’t this what fashion should be? Art as opposed to commercial marketing platforms? Thought to ponder. . .

Christian Louboutin’s spring 2015 “Python Vulcano Limited Edition Nail Colour Coffret” contains three, beautiful hues for the warm weather season. The three colors include, Salonu, Hot Chick, and True Blue. These beautiful nail colors can be used together to create nail art, or worn separately on their own. Either way, Christian Louboutin’s spring 2015 nail polish collection offers everything you need in a box for the spring season. Love that!

The thin brushes on Christain Louboutin’s nail polishes are ideal for nail art. If you are like me and you like to wear a solid color, they are a little bit cumbersome and difficult to manage. The long stem of the brush makes the painting tool unbalanced. If you don’t mind a little bit of a hassle while you paint your nails, then the result is worth the effort. Christian Louboutin’s nail polish is fabulous. It offers stunning color and it is long lasting. It also does not use toxic ingredients which can seep through your nails into your blood stream. Love that!

Since blue is my favorite color, I was excited to test out True Blue by Christian Louboutin from the spring 2015 collection. This beautiful blue hue offers a remarkable cobalt blue color. It is about one to two shades darker than medium blue, and it captures the essences of cobalt blue and also royal blue perfectly. True Blue by Christian Louboutin teeters between the cold and warm spectrum of color. This makes it an easy color to wear with both cool and warm color tones. Easy to match anything I wear = LOVE!

I tested out Christian Louboutin True Blue nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat; no top coat. The nail polish lasted for eight days before chipping! I absolutely adore this shade of blue, and I look forward to wearing Christian Louboutin True Blue nail polish this spring 2015 season.
