Got Butter?

If you’re like me and never seem to be the same dress size from one event to the next, then buying a new dress can seem like a waste of money since it probably won’t fit the next time you have someplace to wear it to! Before you go out and find the cheapest dress you can, or try to get away with wearing one of your old dresses that is way to big (or small), let me suggest an alternative solution… go buy some Butter.

Butter by Nadia that is. This designer has a one size fits all dress that is truly fabulous despite the muumuus that come to mind when we hear the words “dress” and “one size fits all” in the same sentence. Butter by Nadia’s wrap dress is only limited by your imagination and can be wrapped to look like at least a dozed different dresses. It comes in three styles, satin, jersey, and a satin ball gown all of which are made in several fantastic colors. This dress may seem a little pricey at first, but when you consider the possibility of never having to buy another dress…. The price is so very reasonable!

Review: Exude from Carlos by Carlos Santana

This is the Exude from Carlos by Carlos Santana. It is a beautiful shoe. Per the manufacturer website it is a 3.75" stiletto heel (though some retailers are mislabeling it as 3.5") available in half a dozen colors.

This shoe is definitely pretty... but when I received it I was disappointed to have to return it. The retailer I purchased it from listed the shoe as a 3.5" heel, but of course... it is not. The heel ended up being too high for me even though I am quite used to wearing heels everyday, and the toe was too narrow. Had the heels indeed been 3.5” I probably would have kept the shoe and waited for the toe to stretch out… but alas, it wasn’t meant to be.

If you have narrower feet this may be a perfect shoe for you, and extremely stylish. If you purchase these I recommend also purchasing some no-slip pads to go on bottom of the shoe.

PS- As I was putting these back in the box to ship back to the retailer, I noticed one of the heels was missing a piece... turns out it fell out while I trying on the shoes and it was lying on the carpet in my dining room. Just one more sign that these weren't meant to be.
