Balloons are the New “It” Accessory

08/04/17 | aldo, Fashion Friday, Nordstrom

Black Lace Spaghetti Strap Dress and Balloon

As you may have ready Sparkles and Shoes turned five on Wednesday and just like my real birthday (which is next month) the fun is not limited to only one day.  Today I wanted to share with you some great S&S birthday shots and the festivities will really get underway tomorrow with a real life party! 

I am wearing two new pieces in this celebration shoot, the first is a white druzy necklace from Crown Jewelry which works beautifully with the neckline and while the setting may not be the prettiest I am glad I got a few shots in (even if the balloons were backwards) of these new blue heels with their flirty slingback strap, pointy toe and stiletto heel – such a fun closed toe Summer shoe!

And as my year of yes and year of travel continues I have teamed up with Rogue Stories to give one of you the ultimate jet setter prize, their new Flight Pack and a Carry-On Cocktail Kit valued at $150!  This premium vegan leather travel bag  carefully designed to keep your travel essentials organized your way and as an added bonus it is water resistant!

What do you think of this birthday look?

    Love the little black dress with the blue stiletto heels. However due to my big feet my toes are too tight in pointy toe shoes unless they are stretched for me. I know that you will have a blast tomorrow to celebrate your 5 year blog anniversary. Nice roof. Perfect for a summer BBQ or some sun tanning.
