Today, it seems as though there are many individuals that are trying to mimic the iconic designer shoes of Christian Louboutin. With his eye for incredible design, texture, fabric, and of course his infamous red sole, who wouldn’t want to be the next Christian Louboutin? Well… there is a difference between inspiration and plagiarism. He is a mogul that he himself created. Since day one he has put everything he had into his shoes. From dreams to scribbles, Louboutin is a trendsetter that no other person other than the glorious man himself can replicate. He truly is a one of a kind designer and this is clearly why every fashionista across the globe is obsessed with his label. Unfortunately, there are many people out there that want a piece of his opulence and they themselves have started to counterfeit his designs.
Here are four tips that will help every fashionista out there distinguish between Authentic Christian Louboutin’s and Imitations:
1. The Box: Some may find this tip silly but its close attention to detail that will differentiate genuine Louboutin’s from the fake ones. When looking closely at the box it is important to note the word “Paris.” It should be located near the edge of right side of the box. It should not be underneath the Christian Louboutin logo. In addition, the item description sticker should be on the box. It should clearly state the European size, name of the shoe, and have a sku bar and number all located on this one sticker. Lastly, the Christian Louboutin logo should be written in white lettering.
2. The Dust Bags: An authentic dust bag should be a bright red color made of a cotton fabric with the Christian Louboutin logo noticeably written straight across the bag. Fake dust bags tend to look almost sun faded or pink in tone. In addition, the fake dust bags have the Christian Louboutin logo that is written diagonally. Lastly, the fake dust bags usually are made of a fake silky material.
3. The Red Sole: A genuine Christian Louboutin red sole is always a bright red hue with a high gloss finish. Fake red soles are a deeper red hue and tend to have a matte looking finish rather than glossy one. Pay close attention to the lettering inscribed on the red sole. An authentic Christian Louboutin will clearly have “Christian Louboutin,” “Made in Italy,” and the European size located on it. Many times the fake shoes will have the word “MadeInItaly” as one word with no spaces. Lastly, the loop on the “L” located on an authentic Christian Louboutin shoe will appear almost touching the rest of the “L.” In the replica the “L” will not touch and there is a notable space in-between.

4. The Authenticity Card: An enormous clue that will distinguish if the shoe you are purchasing is genuine or not has to do with the authenticity card. Fake shoes will come with a red PLASTIC authenticity card. However, genuine Christian Louboutin shoes do not send out any booklets or authenticity cards!!
We hope these tips help! Happy Christian Louboutin Hunting!!

I had the privilege of being asked by Firmoo to receive a free pair of glasses of my choice from its website. I am giving my honest opinion in this review. You ask, “What is Firmoo?” Firmoo.com is an online optical store that has incredible prices that knocks other eyeglass chains out the park.
“Vision and Fashion the Frugal way.”
I have paid hundreds of dollars, even with my insurance plans. I quite skeptical of the quality; but I said to myself, “why not give it try.” I checked out the website and the selection of frames were very attractive and stylish. On the website you can get either prescription or non-prescription glasses or sunglasses. I decided to get a pair of single vision prescription glasses. I gave them my eyeglass prescription; but I did not give them my PD number. This number is very important because it is measurement of my pupil distance. You can measure your own pupil distance or get that number from your eye doctor. My hubby and I measured ourselves the distance of my pupils, it was easy. I emailed in my measurements and I waited the glasses in the mail. I was not sure how long it would take. I was thinking maybe a couple of weeks because that is typically how long it has taken in the past with other glasses that I had ordered.
However, the eyeglasses arrived in the mail three days later. This is what I received in the package. The eyeglasses, the hard case and soft case, replace nose guards, polishing cloth, screws and a tightener.
I wanted to try on the glasses as soon as I knew that it was my package from Firmoo. The frames that I chose have a cool detail on the sides. They are very comfortable and fit really well. I have never purchased glasses online before. I am a believer that getting glasses without the help of your eye doctor really works. All you really need is your prescription information provided by your doctor.
When you go to Firmoo.com, you can use the try-on feature to see how the glasses will look on your face. You can upload your own photo to find a frame that looks good on your face. The prices are reasonable; but also stylish and very on trend. Every new customer can get a free pair of glasses and all that you have to pay for is the shipping. It’s pretty amazing!
I am so happy with my complimentary pair that I will be back for another choice. Check out the site because you get a Firmoo free pair if you are a first time customer, all you have to pay for is the shipping.
Thank you Firmoo.com for the opportunity, the eyeglasses are awesome.

I have seen all kinds of owl jewelry; but I really did not find anything that appealed to me. That is, until I saw these earrings.
I was walking through Macy’s with my hubby a couple weeks ago and I spotted these bad boys. I had to have them.
The earrings had the nerve to be on sale for $9.00. You can’t beat that with a stick.
The gold finish of the feathers of the owl and the black eyes make this earring a intricate part of my jewelry choices because they can be work with any ensemble.
So pretty!!! Owls are so mysterious and beautiful. These earrings always make me smile.
Do you have any animal jewelry? Are you following the owl trend.

Happy Sunday,
It’s hot; but it’s a beautiful day.
My hubby came up with this title and it’s so fitting. No pun intended.
Have you been so hot that you didn’t want to wear a slip? Not too many girls, ladies, women wear slips because fabrics are developed or double lined so they really don’t need to. Well my Mother taught me that I always need to wear a slip, with every dress and every skirt. My Aunt D when I was in high school and college would send me some of the prettiest slips and full length dress slips with the lace and everything, very nice.
Okay this is the talk of the day for me, this slip in my hand. I cannot tell you how many times I look in front of a mirror before I go out the door to make sure everything is where it needs to be. The skirt below is an Isaac Mizrahi floral print fully lined, no peek-a-boo, skirt. So what do I do before my hubby and I go off to church? I open the blinds to let the sunlight in and have my husband come in and I say, ‘honey does everything look in place?’ He says, ‘yes you look fine.’ In the back of my mind I hear my mother saying baby make sure you put your slip on, you don’t want anything showing. I think what should I do? I put the slip in my purse just in case, I can’t leave home without it.
This is very psychological because I know that nothing can be seen with me wearing this skirt, however because my mother told me it was the thing to do I put that slip in my purse.
Well I went off to church and thought I saw a reflection in the skirt with the sun. I was tempted to put the slip back on.

Well, I didn’t put it back on because it wasn’t necessary because everything was fully covered. Every skirt doesn’t need a slip. It just depends on which one I am wearing at the time. Do you have instances like this where you felt an urge to do something even though you know it wasn’t necessary at the time? Well I have to go with what the Holy Spirit tells me and he never steers me wrong. I feel a lady can be pretty and don’t have to show everything to the world. I don’t have to button my collars all the way up to my neck or go out of the house with no make up on. Sexy to me is leaving something to the imagination and not letting it all hang out no matter what size. I often hear if you got it flaunt it or if I had that body I would show everything? Really, well I wasn’t brought up that way and that’s not me. I am a blessed woman of God and I like to look beautiful and healthy. I exercise and take care of my body because in essence you are what you eat. Well I know I am rambling; but I just want to say that you can be modest and still be pretty and sexy.

Back to the slip, a slip is a slip is a slip. So thank you mother for the great advice; but if the skirt is fully lined I do not need to wear a slip.
Morsels of knowledge I learn each and everyday.

A friend blessed me with a silk Kameez and I really like how pretty it is and very comfortable.
Wikipedia says a “Shalwar kameez (also spelled salwar kameez or shalwar qameez) is a traditional dress worn by both women and men in South Asia and Central Asia. “
A kameez can be worn with pants, leggings or a skirt. I decided to wear it with pants and my Anne Klein flats, it was so chic and wearable. The embroidery on the chest area and hem is so pretty and done well.
The ray of light picture I kept because it so refreshing to feel the sun on my face. God’s beauty is all around us, thank you Lord for your mercies endureth forever.
