    Qupid Puffin 06 Taupe Burnished Lace-Up Booties

    Posted in: Shoes

    So I got these shoes the other day at Dream Girls boutique in OB and ironically just saw them on Lulus.com! It’s funny because some girl asked me where I got them at the airport, but since we were in Arizona I didn’t want to say San Diego, so I just said Lulus.com. Telepathic! Anyway, I am in love with these for two reasons, well three actually…

    1. They follow this chunky trend we’re seeing all over right now, but they don’t take it too far. I can’t pull off Jeffrey Campbell’s, so this shoe is the perfect in between chunk heel.

    2. They are  a taupe/army green which will be huge this Fall, as usual.

    3. They are sooo comfy! I could literally run a mile in these no problem.

    Oh and I just thought of one more reason I love them ;)

    4. They have a distressed look so you don’t have to worry about romping around in them. A few dings or scratches no biggie, no one will notice a thing.

    What To Wear To: A Graduation

    Posted in: W2W2, What to wear NOW

    W2w2 Email: “Hello Amanda! First of all, I love your website! Second, I need some help! My husband just left for Air Force basic training and he graduates in March. I know it is still a few months away, but I need some ideas for a cute outfit to wear to his graduation. Since I wont be able to see him until then, I’d like to look sexy, but still remain classy as well. Also, it is in Texas so the weather should be pretty warm by then. Any advice would be great! Thank you!”

    Reply: Ok, so when I think about a husband’s graduation, I immediately picture a Stepford wife sort of look. No, not a sweater around your neck/ poofy flowered dress sort of thing, but something cute, sexy and classy. The last thing you want is the other hater wives judging you for showing too much skin. You can still look sexy while remaining classy.

    Rules: No cleavage. Nothing shorter than a few inches above the knee. Nothing too tight. Nothing too over the top. I also have been informed that you can not show your shoulders before your husband’s commanding officers. You will have to bring a cover up I guess!? You can take it off after the ceremony so I’ve been told.

    Since it will be March, and as you say, HOT, I personally would go for a tank top dress, maybe with a modern floral/Spring print. Think pastels, browns, creams, tans, pinks, melons, yellows, sea foam greens…

    Here are a few looks I would suggest.

    Mirabell Gardens Grey and Pink Dress

    $41.00

    This dress is super cute for a day time special event. Love the grey accessories. It’s a bit short but keep the heel a respectable height and you should be ok!

    Collective Concepts Hothouse Floral Top

    $47.00

    I think these colors are super cute together. I also like the overall look. Innocent but stylish and shows enough skin to still be sexy. Love the bright lip as well. Read More | Comments

    Valentine’s Day Inspired Shoes

    Posted in: Celebrations!, What to wear NOW

    I loveeee Valentine’s Day, and what better way to celebrate your love (or in my case, the love for myself ) than to dress for the occasion! Yes it’s over a month away but who cares, that’s the perfect amount of time to start planning the perrrrrfect outfit. This post will be strictly Valentine’s shoe suggestions, because you really can plan an entire outfit around cute shoes. So this year instead of sporting red and pink via outfit, lets flip the switch and rock some cuteee Valentine inspired heel instead!

    *Update: A few people have commented that red heels are ugly. I agree red heels can look cheap and ugly BUT if worn with the right outfit, and if you buy the right red shoe material, they are super cute!

    What To Wear To… A Lady Gaga Concert?

    Posted in: Celebrity Fashions & Gossip, Girly things I love!, Themed Parties!, W2W2

    I get so many emails asking me what to wear to certain events that I decided I’m going to start making a new section… W2W2… What to wear to: and then you can fill in the blank. Usually I reply personally to emails, but why not make posts about them for everyone to read?

    Anyway, to email me a W2W2 question please email me: amandajo@helloamanda.com I’ll do my best to post something helpful.

    The first W2W2 email:

    Hi Amanda,

    I love your website and your fashion sense, so I’m hoping you can help me!  On August 13th, I am going to the Lady Gaga concert here at the MGM in Las Vegas, where I live.  I am super excited but have no idea what to wear.  I am just a normal girl, I don’t want to wear anything too crazy, but it is Gaga!  Do you have any ideas?  I am desperate!  I am going with my boyfriend and he is going to wear a dark shirt, black blazer, and dark jeans if that helps. Thanks a million! :) :)

    W2W2 response: Ok so after reading this email I instantly pictured a super tight high waisted leathery skirt and some killer spike heels or ankle booties. Or possibly a skin tight mini dress. Either way your only option is for something that shows some skin and that is tight. I personally wouldn’t take it too Gaga crazy but that’s just my style. It could be fun to really max out the Gaga style for her show. Here are a few key pieces that I think would make the perfect Gaga concert outfit, combine as you wish!

    Dress options: Something tight, must be tightttttt. Something with pouffy costume-y shoulders or details, something mesh or see through, stripes, abstract designs, bright colors…

    Blush with Adventure Dress $68.00

    Appeal to the Ref Dress $26.00

    Dance Remix Dress in Black $38.00

    Is It Boot Season Yet?

    Posted in: Celebrity Fashions & Gossip, Gift Ideas for GIRLS, Girly things I love!, What to wear NOW

    Ok, I’ve had enough of flip flop and sandal season and it’s only July? Great… I’m beyond ready for boots to be back! I suppose black boots must be put on hold for cooler months, but lighter boots? Bring ‘em on! I love love boots so here are a few of my favorite Summer-ish boots. We have been having some chilly days and nights in San Diego so why not keep these on call just in case the weather permits?

    Qupid Tabu Herringbone Cuff Boot -$35.00

    How cute are these!? Love the color and height. Perfect for a Summery date night or cool daytime event. What makes them even cooler is they can be folded down and turned into a cuff boot! 2 in 1? Love it.
