Delightful Contests · Deals · Giveaways

Hello Lovelies,

Finally the first out of many more weekly series of the “Delightful Contests · Deals · Giveaways” yay!  Since the list does tend to get long I might just split it into “Delightful Deals” and “Delightful Contests · Giveaways”.  Starting next week I should be on a good full swing roll into my daily blogging.
I listed each section alphabetically incase you’re looking for something in particular from your favorite place.
Happy Shopping!

Today I felt like truly basking in the Spring spirit!  I put together a short sweet and yet simple outfit with some of my favorite things in my closet.  I have provided links where you can check out the items just click on the above pictures.  Please keep in mind some items may not be available anymore or you have to hunt for them since a few pieces are a couple of years old.  Otherwise if they are available it could be just in other color combos.  So if the items that the link provides isn't the same it should be very similar.

The only thing missing from the outfit that I wore were nude colored stockings.  What's great bout the Forever 21 dress above is that you can wear it with stockings, tights, leggings, skinny jeans, shorts or just paired with your fresh glowing legs all spruced up for the sun.  What I have always loved so much about Fashion is even though there are rules, they are challenged to be broken.  Express your unique personality and you can do no wrong.  All that matters is you feel great in what you look in.

Take for example the outfit I had on a few days ago was black leggings, layered green and white camisoles, brown corduroy jacket, brown ballet flats, champagne sterling silver studs with gold bangles.  It sounds bizarre to some mixing brown and black let alone how tacky it may seem with gold and silver.  But in all honesty it looked nice and sheik!  I will be sure to take a picture next time I have a similar situation in outfits but you all get the drift.

I hate forgetting to take pictures when you have a great outfit, face or hair-do all put together.  Don't you hate missing a kodak moment to capture memories?

Well I hope you enjoyed my simple outfit that I just adored wearing yesterday.  I would love to hear about any outfits or piece that just made you feel like the belle of the ball.  Perhaps a pairing of items or colors you thought even at one point in time were just strange together.

Exclusive Shopping Communities

Hello Lovelies!

From one fellow shopaholic to another I think it’s safe to say that we’re all looking for the best bang for our buck right?  What’s better than great service, awesome quality product, and prices we can all love?!  Sure sometimes the service as far as the shipping costs and time frame aren’t convenient but the rest pretty much makes up for it.

Now if you haven’t already been exposed to great exclusive limited time only and for the most part invited only shopping communities, you need to get on it pronto.  Sites like RueLaLa, Gilt Groupe, Beyond the Rack, Ideeli, One Kings Lane, and Hautelook are the most popular out there.  They offer great brands, prices, and variety of products for us all to race and grab while they last.

---

Here’s an example of event listings with Hautelook:

On average prices are marked down at least 50% off they do vary but if you’re lucky some brands that are frequent events on the sites might have higher markdowns.  As far as the time frame goes well for the most part events will be anywhere from 2 or 1 days in length, but with great deals most of the inventory flies out the door.  Shopping with your iPhone is another convenience!  I believe they might have have apps set up for Android and what not too but I am not certain.

If you haven’t already signed up I urge you to do so.  Even if you don’t purchase anything shortly after that’s fine.  For a few I still haven’t bought anything and been a member for over a year.  But it’s great to have options especially in this economy.  You never know when a must have for you might appear with a price tag you can’t refuse.

Below I setup invitations for each community if you’re interested.

Beyond the Rack,  Gilt Groupe,  Hautelook,  Ideeli,  One Kings Lane,  RueLaLa

Tell me about a similar site you love and recommend!  Happy Shopping!

Drooling Over Christian Louboutin Heel-tastics!

Hello Lovelies,

Sorry didn't get to put up the other deals along with contests and more last night.  >.< My computer froze right when I was saving the draft.  I shall be sure to post it later tonight if not tomorrow morning.  I have been putting a whole new meaning to Spring Cleaning today LOL!

Now there we’re in Spring and swiftly moving into Summer it’s time to bust out those great bold and vibrant colors.  Put some splash in your baby!  Recently I was browsing through my e-mail and came across Neiman Marcus’ Pre-Fall Introduction for Christian Louboutin.

There were 2 pairs that I absolutely love and 2 from the Spring Collection that just call out my name!  Lets take a look at the 2 Pre-Fall pairs that I just adore first followed by the 2 Spring pairs that put a huge smile on my face.

---

Satin Crisscross Slide - $975.00

Now that’s Cranberry color to admire!  Not to fret if you love your sheik basics it always comes in Black too.  Any slight hint of ruche in a design and I admit I am sold.  This beauty has a 5” heel which would put me at a mere 6’ but hey sometimes we pay a price for beauty right?  LOL!

Suede Metallic Square Pump - $795.00

Courtesy of Neiman Marcus. Click picture to learn more.

Seriously how can this not be one of the most perfect party pumps to rock?  The gorgeous silver square details are bananas.  I am definitely a fan of peep toes, gives just enough sophisticated sexy to work with.  This beauty has a platform of 1 1/8” and a heel of 5 1/4”.  All the must have heels always have the sky high height, at least most of us would consider it.  But they’re great art to rock when you want a night out to paint the town red.

I actually have a bubble tube dress I bought for New Years a few years back that would be perfect with this.  You see the madness begins as to why I SHOULD get this haha.

Cutout Bootie - $925.00

Courtesy of Neiman Marcus. Click picture to learn more.

Such a great simple yet fun pairing to any outfit.  Dress this with a great black or vibrant purple party dress.  Dress it down with fun off the shoulder top, ripped jeans, and bangles.  Either way you’re sure to win win with being it’s so versatile.  It is also available in Black which makes it even more convenient.
This great peep toe heel also has a back zip for easy slip off and on.  This beauty has a heel of 4 7/10”.

Bouquet Platform - $1,025.00

Courtesy of Neiman Marcus. Click picture to learn more.    

Last but definitely not least is the “Wine and Dine” heel that is sure to amp up your outfit in any case.  Though I would definitely consider this a great formal heel as well any pair these days it goes perfect with casual looks as well.  Though I would probably save this for a semi-casual look if you want to dress this lady down a little.

Lace, mesh and floral combos of any kind have a truly timeless accents to pieces.

It seems to be a nude satin under the floral lace but it’s actually a light pink, how fun and genius to compliment the infamous red sole signature.  This beauty has a heel of 4 3/4”.

Hope you enjoyed some of my favorite picks from the Christian Louboutin collections being offered at Neiman Marcus right now!  Share what pairs of shoes are making you drool at the moment.

Making a comeback!

Has it really been almost a year?! From the bottom of my heart I truly apologize for the onset hiatus. It basically came down to a series of unexpected events back to back at times. Mixed with both wonderful and heart breaking tunes. After being laid off and unemployed for a year I was honored to enter into the Zappos.com family! Relocated closer to work and everything was starting to look up. But a few months later after all the great memories and long wonderful days there I got a call at work everyone dreads.

Receiving news that your loved one especially parent has been hit with Cancer yet again that spread is heart wrenching. So I focused on getting her healthier and trying to beat it! In the meantime I ended up suffering from my own onset health problems. Now months later, well almost a year later! I am returning to my wonderful blog and fantastic readers!

---

Finally able to instill time and love again to Health, Beauty and Inspiration from my perspective. I also plan to revamp soon which I am so excited about! Makeovers are always a great time right?! I have my netbook up and running which will make posting a million times more convenient with the ongoing insane schedule. Especially since I will be back to work full time again shortly. But let the adventures and blogging push forth as we do with grace everyday!

Also to my awesome readers just a heads up.  I just updated my domain from http://misstrishdelish.blogspot.com to http://www.misstrishdelish.com/ Blogger has assured me that everything will be redirected and fine.  But if possible can you please update your RSS subscription to http://www.misstrishdelish.com/feeds/posts/default to ensure the posts will come through just fine to you.  As part of MiSSTRiSHDELiSH | Fashion & Beauty Delights I want to make sure to spread the love.  So another thing that will continue is any and all deals, giveaways, and contests that I come by will be posted for your pleasure.  In fact my next post later today will be just that!

Thank You all again for your love and support!  There will be more to come and look forward to getting to know you all again ^_^
