Fall Fashion Friday: Boots boots boots a plenty

Yay its fall fashion friday again and today's post is going to be a mega photo overload..
Best fall fashion item bar none??? BOOTS! duh.. lol ok cardigans, scarfs and tights are pretty awesome too but today im showing my love to boots..

I have 7 pair of varying styles and shades to share with you today, It's still a lil to hot for boots here but I will be sporting many of these all Autumn long..
 All images are clickable for more detail/bigger size pic.

First up a cute Pair of Steve Madden Cybul Flat Boots in Cognac.
These are sooooo buttery and comfy and look super cute with fun fall dresses that hit around the knee.

Next is Wanted spike boots in Brown.

These boots are a lil more rough and tumble, they are faux fur lined and the top of the boot has a sweater like stretch material which make these super warm.. word to the wise on these they run really small sooo its always wise when and if buying online to go a size up, cause extra room is better then broken toes..lol.

Next we have Michael Antonio Onte boots in black.

If looks could Kill, ok so these are a lil more daring and not everyone's taste but you cant help but feel really kickass in them.. I think they would be awesome for a fall night out.. They rock with tights and have silver accents.

Next are Wild Rose Tamie Boots in Black.
Yet another pair of stiletto boots but just ever so slightly tamer and with gold accent's rather then the silver in the previous pair. These are surprisingly comfortable and dont stress the arch like alot of stiletto's do and so that makes these more wearable.

Next we have my fave pair Naugthy Monkey Maverick boots in Chocolate.

The warm toned brown with the mix of leather and suede make these my go to fall boots, they are comfy and look great with jeans, they are super soft and make me want to swashbuckle ha ha.

Up next DollHouse Hemi Boots in Black.
These boots are freakin awesome they have amazing tread,like almost snow boot tread, soft and sturdy they make a dress fun and look sexy and casual with jeans.. see...
 And now last but not least Nine West Elbe Boots in Black.
 These boots are almost 5 years old and have been through hell and high water and yet they still look new as the day I got them, these boots have class and style and literally look good with just about everything and any thing you can pair them with.

And that's all 7 I chose to feature, I almost added rain boots to this but since Fall is the driest season in my area I decided against it but with that said, rain boots also make a super fun and cute fall boot and in wetter climates its super practical .. They come in all kinds of designs, mine have lil whales all over them so cute.

I hope this inspired you to give boots a try this Fall or Pull your old boots out of the closet.
So of the 7 what did you like or not like?
Thats all for this very long post, thanks so much for reading -ilectra

Fall Fashion Friday

As promised last Friday I am doing my first bi weekly fall fashion friday.. today was a super busy no time to even eat day so as you can see it's 3am now so after friday but better late then never :)

So here it is , since my main focus is nails I thought the first fashion friday should be eased into sooo, This fashion friday features my Fall Statement Ring, It's a vintage costume jewelry ring that I got from etsy for all of $5 ( I love love love browsing Etsy for vintage stuff, rings, brooches etc)
-Click on any of the below images to see them full size-
I dont wear alot of jewelry but a big funky ring is a must and a vintage one or one in warm hues looks amazing with fall layers, Cardi's and Blazers.. its a cool way to jazz up a simple jean and shirt combo.

This one along with many of the bigger funky rings is adjustable, which is great if you are like me and your fingers shrink when its colder, so on cooler fall nights you can just tighten it right up.

I am wearing 2 coats of Zoya -Kalista and a coat of matte magic in these shots. Its a beautiful lush brown but photographed on the more black side.

As im sitting here posting this im enjoying this:
Toblerone Fruit and Nut, never had it before and picked it up today on a whim at the target checkout and ummm This stuff is like crack.. its soo soo yummy.. kinda reminds me of a richer version of the old chunky bars if you remember those they were a big square in silver wrapping.. Anyway this stuff is so good I wanted to share as I think im hooked. If you like your chocolate smoooooooooth and you like raisins and nuts, you have to try this..
Ok ok enough candy babble, Thanks for reading my first fall fashion friday and I hope it wasn't to painful :)
That's all for today lovelies, thanks -ilectra

Say Hello to my Little Friends

China Glaze Awakening Collection, the fall/hallowen set of 3. Mummy May I, Ick a Body and Zombie Zest.

I only swatched Mummy May I and Ick a Body for this post because Zombie Zest is so similar to the Orly cosmics "It's not rocket science" I am going to dedicate a whole post to comparing them.
So first off let me say I LOVE HALLOWEEN!! Fall is my fave season and Halloween is by far my fave holiday so when they start putting out the Halloween collections I go gaga.

First up is, Mummy may I.. I had a really hard time getting good shots of this one. It was so amazing in person but capturing that was hard so here are two shots I got that give a pretty good idea.


This is 3 coats but 2 would have worked fine too.

This color did not disappoint Black base with deep purple glitters, it as well as Ick a body dries rough due to the glitters, top coats deff needed.

Next up is Ick a body, an amped up version of Last halloween's mega hit Fortune Teller also from China Glaze.
Here you can see it and Mummy May I.




Its very densely packed Orange glitters, with a sheer black/green base, this was a 3 coater to cover any baldness.


 I really loved this one, it just screams Halloween to me and I love the fact its so high impact unlike last years Fortune Teller that was sparse glitters.

I only have one complaint from this collection, the fact that it's only 3 I would have loved a few more gems like these three, like maybe a dark brown with red shimmers.. But hey there is always next year.

Here's an upclose of Ick a Body to get your Halloween blood pumping.

 
I have a bunch of great stuff to post in the coming weeks, but I promise to show you guys Zombie zest soon side by side with "It's not Rocket Science" but I can tell you now that they are NOT dupes. 
I also broke two nails after swatching MAC's Jade Dragon for you guys so I had to cut all my nails to nubbins :( it sucked so Next post is Jade Dragon and after that you guys gets to enjoy nub nails for awhile.

That's all for this post, Thanks for reading
