Who doesn’t want a closet full of shoes ala Carrie Bradshaw? The latest styles and trends that fit your unique personality, sent to you at your whim, but at the fraction of the cost of designer shoes? What if Rachel Zoe was your personal shoe stylist? Sound enticing? Then I suggest you head on over to ShoeDazzle.com, take the fun style quiz to determine your Shoe Style, then have your personal closet set up for you.

ShoeDazzle

Here’s how ShoeDazzle.com works:

To join, you take a really fun quiz so ShoeDazzle can get to know your style. Based on the results of the quiz, ShoeDazzle gives you your first showroom of shoes and handbags they think you’ll love. At the beginning of every month you will receive a new selection that fits your individual style, and as new styles get added to the site throughout the month, they continue to tailor your personalized recommendations!

Beyond all that fun stuff, here’s 5 reasons why I am really enjoying my ShoeDazzle.com membership:

  • Make a purchase within 2 days of taking the quiz and get 25% off your first item ordered.
  • ShoeDazzle carries their own brand as well as offer designer brands such as: Chinese Laundry, Seychelles, Dolce Vita, Michael Antonio, and Beau+Ashe. They are constantly adding new brands they know their clients will love!
  • A VIP members-only “Shoe Fund” program is offered for $9.95 per month. For $9.95, you get $9.95 VIP dollars that you can spend or save and have it roll-over to the next month. VIP members also get 10-25% off all full-price items, free shipping on all orders, and more exclusive perks like sneak peeks to products and sales!
  • Hassle Free Returns
  • Easy Shipping Options

What I love about fashion is the variety of options out there to make you look and feel pampered without breaking the bank all the time. Don’t get me wrong, I still stick with my personal philosophy of knowing what those great, classic purchases are and setting a budget to afford them. When choosing to spend my dollars on a trend piece though, I find it’s best to stick with a decent quality at an affordable price. I actually just had a recent opportunity to work with Express on a project. It’s a brand and store I had not set foot in for years, but they are re-branding and re-designing their shops. It was a great re-introduction to the line for me, and I happen to find some on-trend pieces that are on my Summer Styles list that were half the price of what I planned to spend.

ShoeDazzle.com works like that with shoes. From casual to sexy to stellar- there’s bound to be a style you will want to try, and not have Buyer’s Remorse later!

Sign-up and design your personal shoe closet today using this link. Have fun shopping!

Fleming’s Prime Steak House and Wine Bar

Fan of Fleming’s Prime Steak House and Wine Bar? Me, too. A classic dining go-to that is both date night and family friendly. A few weeks ago, I met with some of the girls to enjoy the Happy Hour selections there. The “5 for $6 ‘Til 7” Bar Menu allows you the choice of 5 delicious “dining room” appetizers, 5 premium cocktails and 5 specially selected wines by the glass, each for just $6, until 7pm. Wine, cocktail and appetizers on the “5 for $6 ‘Til 7” are seasonal, which is nice because it adds variety to the menu options. And, maybe forces you to try something a little out of your comfort zone.

It was worth the trek out to Summerlin, for me, for some girlie gabbing, wine and appetizers. I love the iPad wine menu- so organized and easy to find selections. I took a chance on a Zinfandel, and it was fantastic. We tried out all the apps on the menu, but my favorite by far was the Sweet Chili Calamari and the Salt and Pepper Shrimp.

Quick Tips

  • Fleming’s is located in Summerlin, on Charleston, near the Whole Foods and other great restaurant selections.
  • Remember Happy Hour is during prime traffic congestion, so if you are planning a meet-up, be sure to time your trip accordingly.
  • Reservations are suggested for the dining room, but Happy Hour and bar seating are first come first served.
  • Along with the tech savvy iPad wine list, you can also make your reservations on-line.

Though the wine selection is pretty impressive, Fleming’s Prime Steak House also offers a hand-crafted bar menu of delicious cocktails. One of their favorites, that sounds really yummy to me, too, is the Skinny Farmer’s Daughter. Made with fresh strawberries and Ketel One Vodka, sounds like the perfect concoction to serve the girls over the summer in the comfort of your own backyard, watching those Vegas sunsets. I love the summers here. Think I’ll start adding the ingredients to my shopping list!

Desert Summer Nights…my absoute favorite time of the year in Las Vegas. The sunsets are nothing but amazing night after night, and the weather just can’t be beat. The perfect temperature to don that perfect little dress and flip flops and be completely temperature happy. What else goes along with the perfect summer dress and weather? The perfect summer sip, of course!

The Skinny Farmer’s Daughter is a hand-crafted cocktail specialty found on the menu at Fleming’s Prime Steak House and Wine Room. At 99 calories, and made with fresh strawberries and Ketel One Vodka, sounds like the perfect concoction to serve the girls over the summer in the comfort of your own backyard, watching those Vegas sunsets. I love the summers here. Think I’ll start adding the ingredients to my shopping list!
