B. Makowsky Leather slingback
These shoes are so pretty and so wearable with skirts or pants. No they are not 6 inch heels but these shoes are to cute. Grommets give this slingback an edge.
The B. Makowsky shoe line is available at QVC.com. The shoes above are a 2 3/4 inch heel so you can have some height and comfort.
This gem of a shoe is definitely on my spring 2011 wishlist.

I am loving Marc Bouwer’s Fall 2011 Collection because it is so feminine and chic. I would wear every garment in his fashion short film. Madam, I will take one of everything! He makes a woman look pretty and she can still keep her clothes on and show her curves. I love it!
He is so talented and you know what he has a line on QVC.com. Yes he does and I love it. We often hear how designers only focus on Runway well this gentlemen has a line on QVC called M by Marc Bouwer and the sizes run from XXS to 3x. This couture inspired sportswear line is available to a variety of sizes of women and this brings the cost down as well because there’s more quantity. Fabulous!
The two videos below are from his Runway shows if you are not familiar with him. If you would like to check out the line that he does for QVC please click this link M by Marc Bouwer.
Mark Bouwer Fall Fashion Runway 2011 Fashion Featuring Selita Ebanks
His Spring Collection that was shown last fall is so fresh, it makes you want to see the green grass and the array of flowers in the front yard right now. But until then enjoy his collection in this short film.

This has been a busy week for me; but I had to share some blog love. I will submit my nominees; but I wanted to say a few words. I want to say that I think any blogger who takes the time to post on their blog and have it filter to the world deserves an award. No matter how many followers you have or if you just published your first post I congratulate you. I wanted to give each of you the Bubbling With Elegance and Grace Award.
I had to dress for the occasion. Where’s my microphone? Here it is, okay let me make sure I am standing up straight in these heels. Action!

Nominee: Vahni of Grit and Glamour
Vahni is so helpful and there for you if you have a question. I remember when my blog was in it’s beginnings and I had music playing.

That meant a lot to me that she would offer me advice on my little blog. Thanks Vahni!

Today was a busy day at work but and the weather has been all over the place so I have had to really go with the flow in my outfits. So I am really loving this crochet skirt, it’s comfortable but fitted. The argyle sweater just works with the white ruffled blouse. I’m loving it and an added plus for the slimming effect of the skirt.
