Dreams and Heels

Hello Girls!  I hope you are having a lovely day!  I just finished up working.  Nothing too exciting there. 

Same old same old.  I know I don't go much into detail about where I work, besides that I work along side my husband, and that we are both in manager positions.  Anyway, it's not my dream job, but it's a decent one.  

What would your dream job be?  Would it have anything to do with fashion?  Or do your dreams lie elsewhere?  I'd love to hear your thoughts on this!

Onto an outfit I wore the other day: 

I can't get enough of my ankle booties!  As you can probably tell, I wear them as much as possible!  They have a 4 1/2 inch heel!  Can you believe it!  It's the closest I've ever come to being any where near my, at least, 6 feet tall husband!  It's nice! 

My husband thinks heels are unnecessary though!  Maybe most men feel this way!  He doesn't like when I wear heels because I walk slower in them.  I don't notice much of a difference, unless I've been walking in heels for hours.  Plus, I enjoy being taller!  I've got to face the facts, that I'm not growing anymore! :)

Too bad once winter comes with ice and snow my heels, for the most part, have to stay in the closet!  

I'm not coordinated enough to wear high heels on sleek ice or in 5 inches of snow!  Indiana winters can get pretty nasty!

 

You can't really tell in the pictures above that I'm wearing my new Betsy Johnson earrings, courtesy DesignerApparel  

Sorry for the close up of my ear!!  But I had to show you the little details of the earrings!  Aren't they super cute??  Pink is my favorite color, and I love bows, so what a perfect combo!  I've never owned anything from Betsy Johnson before, so it was pretty exciting to receive them!

Have a great night girls!!

The Heels Have It

So I was checking out Charlotte Russe's website and I noticed two pairs of heels I sort of like.  They are different from what I would normally get, but I think they would probably go with most outfits.  What do you think?  

These strappy peeped toe high heeled sandals are $36.50

Below: studded cuff platforms $29.99

I like them both, although I probably won't be going shopping until my birthday (which is April 5th!)  So I will have to wait on any purchases.  Least my birthday isn't too far away!  I started thinking about what I want, usually I get new clothes and shoes.  I may just go with that, but I'm also thinking about getting my hair cut and colored professionally for my birthday.  When I cut my hair I always go to a salon, but I haven't gotten my hair professionally colored for a LONG time, so I am seriously thinking about.  Any birthday suggestions??

New Heels!

So about a week ago I found these lovely heels on sale at Payless for only $9! I couldn't resist! I know I won't be able to wear them quite yet since there is still tons of snow on the ground, but I'm looking forward to spring, when I can break out all my heels once again!!

I tend to like fake animal skin.... like snake skin, alligator...etc. on purses and heels! Do you girls like the look of snake skin or alligator?

Also, I'm kind of thinking about getting a new template for the blog. What do you think should I rearrange and try a different look or keep it the same? If you think I should change what websites do you go to for free templates? I don't want to spend any money.

Besides maybe a new template, what other items do you think should be added to The Hot Spot? I know some of you are part of bloglovin and independent fashion bloggers. Would you suggest I sign up for those as well? I'm just trying to expand a bit since I've hit the one year mark and I'm looking for the best ways to do so. I figured the best way to find out how would be through all of you!

So let me know what you think! Have a wonderful day!!

Rock the T-Shirt

So, as promised I have an actual outfit post!! So I tend to wear my husbands t-shirts to bed, and thought one morning why don't I try to pair this up with my new black leggings and see how it goes!? It's practically long enough, and I reversed my pink skinny belt to the black side. And paired it with my black heels! Also I had put my hair in braids the night before so I could have that crimped look, which I thought added to the rocker look.....since it is an ACDC shirt! I did not wear this out in public though, I will admit that. :) Although it doesn't reveal anything, I'm not quite sure how I feel about going out in a short "t-shirt dress". So anyway, what do you all think? This is a bit bizarre, but I think creative, right? Oh, I hope so! :)

Below, are just some pics with my crimped hair. One with a fake flower and the other with out. Do any of you still put your hair in braids the night before to achieve the crimped look? I haven't done this since high school, but I liked how my hair turned out! Also, I know that there are crimpers out there to buy. Do any of you own one? if so how well does it work for you??

Walk This Way

These are pictures of my heels....oh, how I love to wear them.....being 5'3 it's always great to add some height.....and give the illusion of being tall....

Black sparkly heels ( which have been thru a lot ) are Candies from Kohl's

Pink heels above are from Deb, got them for $8 on sale!!!!

Pink plaid heels above are from Deb also....don't be fooled with the candies sign in the background.......and can you believe I was lucky enough to get those for $8 too on the same day as the other pink heels shown!!!!

Now these beauties are Candies from Kohl's....I love these heels....after watching the Sex and the City movie I was inspired to find a pair similar to a pair Carrie wears in the film, these were the closest pair I could find in my budget! In my opinion they are amazing!!!

So what do you think? Any of them your style???
