People: Style Watch! *Bag & Boot Blowout*

Since my day goes like this: Wake up, work a little, eat breakfast, work some more, take a shower, eat some lunch, meet some customers, hit the gym, make dinner, pass out. Needless to say, I don't have much time to blog. I know, I need to re-prioritize, right? It should be wake-up, write a blog, eat breakfast, write a blog, work a little write another blog.. haha! Anywho, I gotta work hard for the money people.

So back to the most important thing in life at the moment: Fall Fashion! Of course booties are SO popular right now, but over the knee boots will be too! In People Style Watch there are some super Hawt boots:

GUESS 'Revenge' Over the Knee Boot 

Almond-shaped toe and a tapered heel style a lightly scrunched 

leather boot accented with a laced tie below the foldable collar.

@Nordstrom $199

Or you could get some that look almost exactly the same from Payless for nearly a fourth of the price:

Rosalyn Over the Knee Boot

 It features a slouchy silhouette of sumptuous 

faux suede, a functional tie around the calf, soft cloth 

lining, a partial side zipper and a 3" heel. 

@Payless $60

According to People Style Watch, there's no single trend in bags. "From classic, go-everywhere styles to tough, ladylike and much more." Here is a beautiful, classy Coach bag:

HAMPTONS LEATHER CARRYALL

An American icon returns in deep saturated color 

with modern details like tassels and hangtags.

Brass/Walnut

@Coach $698

Something that I found that's similar, same color and general look for a 20th of the price:

Oversized Satchel

@afaze.com $36

That's how you look good for a good-looking price!

Now, can anyone guess why my 
husband refuses to eat off Fiesta 
dishes that are Blue?!

Why I Want to Move to AZ...

Many of you know how much I LOVE Arizona! I got married there, love the weather, enjoy the dry heat, beautiful golf courses, awesome succulents, palm trees, mountains, bright sunny skies, and the list could go in FOREVER! But let me show you why I love it so much!

Hiking 'A' Mountain in Tempe:

Bogenvelias are EVERYWHERE!

Lizards are so much better than Snakes:

And Bob Cats remind me of my Babies!

Did I mention the HiKES?

Gotta love the Succulents!

And the Sunsets! <3

The Golf Courses:

Coffee that looks like Drug Cartel:

And my Bestie!

Last, but far from Least: The Best Day of My LIFE!

There are so many more events that represent my love for the desert... I hope you enjoyed a brief slideshow in the life of JFlo!

Where's a favorite place that 

holds the most memories for you?

Seafood with Designer Shoes on Top?!

Back to back weekends of firsts for me! I had my first oyster on the half shell in AZ last weekend, and my first stuffed clam in TX this weekend! And guess what? I liked them both! It was pretty exciting.

Me with my first oyster:

After a day of hiking and biking ALL day long, Heather and I figured that there's no better way to eat an oyster then in our sweaty,  stinky garb. I put a little cocktail sauce and horseradish on it, and it was tasty! My sinuses were cleared and everything!

Stuffed Clams:

The stuffed clams were actually pretty big in size and only $1 each at my favorite store Sprouties, so I had to try them out as I can never pass up a great deal... The verdict= Fabulouso! I think I'm gonna go back for more! Just stick them in the oven for 15min and voila.

Robert Wayne- Men's Designer Shoes:

I was at Ross this afternoon and decided to be a nice Wifey and see what the men's side of the store had to offer, and guess what I found? Approx $100 shoes for $27.99. My man is quite the Fashionisto because of me! I really do have to fight the women off of him, especially in Mexican restaurants.

Back to the Weekly Regime!

I'm glad to be getting back into the weekly regime. I miss my routine. From the arch to weddings, business trips and a girls weekend, I'm exhausted just thinking about the last insanely busy month of my life. I had a blast to say the least. Here are some things here and there. Some will be revisited.

The Arch:

My dinner this evening. Cilantro & Jalapeno Hummus with tortilla chips! (Thank you Sprouts!)

My $3 earrings from here. Where did you get those earrings?
Oh, I got them here. The name of the store is "here."

And last, but certainly not least. Cartel. Nope, it's actually
not what you'd find on the back of the Semi that's
transporting stuff between Arizona and Mexico,

but it looks like it! It's COFFEE!!! The best EVER!

Where have you been lately?

I've Missed You!!!

Oh how I've missed my Bloggita! I have been traveling so much this past month, I am just ready to get back into my normal routine already. Do you ever feel lost because you've been taken from your normal routine? I'm lost right now. But by next week, I should be able to settle down for a bit.

I'm writing from my fellow fashionista's in Tempe, AZ. I LOVE Arizona! I love not having allergies! I love the clean air! I love the heat! And I love the orange mountains! None of which remind me of the upcoming fall. Although I do love the idea of fall, hay rides, snuggly clothes, hoodies, and boots... I get really depressed during the fashion transition from bright and summery dresses to drabby black and gray heavy clothing. It got to the point that I really wasn't feeling it when I was out shopping the other day. Now that's a VERY Scary feeling. I almost didn't know what to do with myself. So I made the most of it.

Cute, inexpensive items in preparation for fall:

Silver and Gold Metallic Leaf Necklaces from Forever21 for $4.80

Cute Flowery Bobby Pins from Forever21 for $1.50

Braided headbands in Silver, Gold and Black from Forever21 for $5.80

Open Front Long Sleeve Cardigan in Black and Dark Gray from A'Gaci for $6.50

Did you get anything good over Labor Day Weekend?!

Shopping?!

What's Shopping?! Oh yeah, I almost forgot because I haven't been in what seems like 3months! So... since I'm in Chicago on business, I think I'll take advantage of this 'Back to School' season and end of summer sales, and do some shopping. My #1 goal is to find some great deals, of course. I'm thinking H&M, Forever 21 and TJ Maxx for sure, and hopefully there will be more stops!

While glancing thru Forever's website to see if there's anything good that I need to keep an eye out for, I saw this:

If I EVER see any of YOU in this, I will puke all over your ugly plaid shirt!!! This is absolutely repulsive. If you would like to look like a homeless ragamuffin, please buy this outfit!

Onto more important topics.... Bristol Palin and "The Situation" on Dancing with the Stars?!

What's up with that? I'm not sure that DWTS's target audience even knows who or what "The Situation" is, and I think Bristol should just keep herself out of the media. But hey, if they wanted to pay me the G's, I guess that I would have to say yes too.

Who was your all-time favorite Dancing with the Stars celebrity thus far?!

Mine was Buzz Aldrin! What a sweet old man that landed on the moond!
