Summer 2013 shoes are all about simple embellishments and practical wear-ability. This warm weather season designers universally have incorporated metallic adornments and neutral colors into their fabulous summer collections. Whether you’re a boho chic, classic glamour or a rustic elegance fashionista, there is a gorgeous shoe out there that is perfect for you this summer.
Below are the trendiest summer shoe styles that will complement any personality.
1. Statement Sandals
Nothing screams summer quite like sandals; they have become an iconic summer style that has re-invented itself year after year because of its wear-ability. This summer sandals have once again evolved and are perfect statement making pieces. Designers like Koolaburra and Stuart Weitzman have taken the sandal to the next level by creating architectural inspired pieces. From fringe to calf length gladiators, summer sandals are fun, unique and practical. But perhaps the best part about statement making sandals is that they are transitional. This summer whether you’re at a backyard barbeque, touring a new city or watching a movie in the park, sandals are the ideal style because they are comfortable and will pair with everything from jeans to dresses. So if you’re a gal that is looking for transitional shoes that are wear-able then statement making sandals are your ideal summer shoe.

2. Gold Embellished Wedges
Gold is in every collection this summer season but our favorite way to incorporate this illuminating color into your look is by wearing it on your wedges. Designers like Kate Spade and Jimmy Choo have creatively integrated metallic gold into their wedge designs by subtly adding gold fabric and hardware. Since gold remains hidden within the details of the wedge designs, pops of gold seem to shimmer and light up as you gracefully walk. Given that gold is very neutral in tone, gold embellished wedges become versatile because they can be worn with an array of outfits, from capris to bathing suits to peplum dresses. If you’re a glamour girl that wants a dainty sparkle in your step then gold embellished wedges are the perfect shoe for you this summer.

The pairing of ankle boots with shorts embodies all that is summer 2013. The bohemian music festival vibe combined with a touch of rustic elegance creates a casual, fun and effortless look. Designers like Materia Prima and Stuart Weitzman have designed stunning ankle boots that celebrities like Ashley Tisdale, Kate Bosworth, and Miranda Kerr have been recently spotted in. From concerts to shopping endeavors to your 4th of July celebration, ankle boots will leave you feeling comfortable throughout the entire day and night. But perhaps the best part about buying ankle boots this summer is that you will get plenty of wear out of them for the fall and winter seasons as well. So if you’re looking for a versatile yet rustic glamour type of shoe then ankle boots are the shoes for you this summer.

Bold Prints are hotter than ever! The dress from Chadwicks kicks up the print factor of more is better.
Not fond of showing my shoulders and arms but I branched out. I have always wanted slender arms but no matter how much I work out they just keep looking muscular.
I digress. Lord deliver me from this self torture.
Oh well I have to love me some me! Stop the nitpicking of my arms and start embracing that I work out hard so I feel good about that.
Now onto the shoes.
The shoes are from Poetic Licence, such a great find and are one of my favorites for summer. The flowers on the wedges are so 3 dimensional. So cool!
Here’s another view.
This dress is refreshing and great for those summer days because the fabric is 100% cotton. The fabric is breathable and the pattern is a vibrant paisley.
I added another pop of color with my Dooney and Bourke red and navy bag.
My jewelry includes two of my favorite pieces. My silver Italian lire charm bracelet and my Amedeo NYC cameo ring.
Color, color, color is the way to go for me. It not only makes me smile but it gives some confidence in the way I carry myself.

Blessings to you and hope your having a great day.
I have found such a pretty dress during my birthday month of May.
JT in dress
The dress by NY Collection is so chic and comfortable in the best way. I was browsing at Macy’s with my husband on the day of my birthday. I saw this dress on the mannequin. I looked at the price tag and it was a whopping $69.00. I really liked the fabric because the lace had a touch of spandex and it was fully lined. Although I have to wear a slip underneath.
Lace Fabric of dress
That was not what I was planning to pay for it, so I sighed and said “Maybe someday I will get this dress; but not right now.” A couple of week later, my hubby and I went to a different Macy’s because I was looking for some black shirts for the helps ministries I work in at church and I spotted the same dress. But this time, the dress was on sale.
JT in NY Collection dress with cardigan
It was a good deal because the dress was half priced and I had another 20% coupon, making the final marked-down price of the dress down to $27.60. I have learned that it pays to wait. If you can wait you may get a better deal. It is not always wise to go out and by something hastily, especially with Macy’s. Macy’s seems to be having a new sale going on all the time, and there are usually coupons attached to the sales flyer. You never go to Macy’s without a coupon.
This is another versatile dress that works by itself or with a cardigan, whether it is for church or for work. My Coach handbag in bright patent fuchsia gave the outfit above a pop of color.
Below is a picture with the cardigan off and its effortless style. The silver belt came with the dress and gives definition to my waist.
My shoes from DSW are a Kelly and Kate ballerina spectator style that was a nude color with black. It worked without looking too matchy-matchy.
Having a little head banger fun.
Happy Father’s Day to my Dad and my Father in love Dad who are in heaven with the Lord, to the Dads everywhere, Dad role models, those mothers and fathers who are being a mom and a dad to their children.

I was given the opportunity to try a Snugg iPad leather case for my iPad 3 from www.thesnugg.com. I choose pink because that is one of my favorite colors. It arrived Royal mail in about two weeks. When I opened up the package, the case looked really stylish and edgy. I had to immediately place my iPad inside and try it out.

The first impression of the case was it had a vibrancy of color and the soft hand of the leather. Also, my iPad felt so secure and snug (pardon the pun) inside the case.
Snugg iPad 3 Leather case
I really like how my iPad 3 feels secure when I inserted it in the case and secured it with the velcro flap. When I closed the case there is an automatic shut off , so there no worries about the battery running out because it conserves energy of the device. They stylus holder is on the top. I do not have a problem with the stylus holder located on the top maybe because I am left handed. My husband prefers the stylus holder to be on the side for more convenience. Maybe that is because he is right-handed.
www.snugg.com
The Snugg website has a cool video on how the case converts for different uses. In the picture above the flap you see will convert the iPad into a table top stand to either watch movies or do other things on the iPad. I really like this feature about the case.

Th e Snugg company gifted me with the iPad 3 leather case and asked if I would give my honest opinion. I believe that they gifted me a high-quality product. The Snugg iPad 3 leather case is on sale on the Snugg site right now for $34.99. This is a product that I would have paid for. Yes, it is that good.
I would like to thank the Snugg company for gifting me with the iPad 3 leather case because it really is an awesome product.
If you are in the market for an iPad Case then look no further than www.thesnugg.com. The cases are made well and very well priced.

This is one of my favorite dresses By Madison Leigh. I purchased it for a great price from Macy’s a few years back. The fabric is comfortable and I can wear this dress all year long. Florals are bursting with popularity this year, so if you have something with flowers on it, wear it. If you do not have anything with a floral pattern or don’t care for floral wear, you can wear a flower in your hair. Silk flowers can be purchase at a store like Michael’s. Cut off the stem of the flower and pin it in your hair. I have made flowers for my hair many times.

This dress is a chameleon with color because there are shades of yellow, gold, black, green and gray. I am wearing a black cardigan. However, I can wear a multitude of colors with this dress. I wore black because I often will put on a green shirt jacket, so I am changing it up a bit. Isaac Mizrahi was the first designer that I heard say that you can coordinate florals with other floral pieces. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns, be daring.
When it’s hot, there is nothing like putting on a dress. It is like having a built in air conditioner because I like natural fibers and breath-ability. Having those elements in a dress is perfect. This dress has a built in bra and doesn’t need a shaper underneath. All of these features make it such a great find and a go-to favorte.
JT with V
I wore this dress with my Stone Mountain clogs because the metallic color in the shoe is so neutral and not competing with the colors in the dress.
What floral apparel do you have in your closet?

Remembering soldiers who have fought for America and those who are fighting for our country right now. Memorial Day is not about barbecuing and having a party. This day is about giving honor to soldiers who have fought and are fighting so that we can have and maintain our freedom. My prayer to Father God is for all the soldiers who are here in the states or in a foreign land that God’s protection is over them and that they will come home to their families safe and sound. In Jesus Name. AMEN
God Bless the USA!
