February Sole Mates

If you haven’t heard of Sole Society, you will now. Sole Society is an amazing shoe-of-the-month club that has some of the most unique, trendy, classic, and comfortable shoes on the internet (yes, i’m serious). Although I love my brand name soles, my everyday and “impulse” buys cannot cost me a fortune, which is why I log into my Sole Society account. Last month I was a Fashion Insider for Sole Society, and let me say it was a great experience (you can read about it here). The reason I’m dedicating a whole post to Sole Society is because I really love what they are about. Quality is unsurpassed as well as the price. Honestly, try it and compare to any other shoe-of-the-month club.

ALSO, since I’m an active member and super indecisive, I want YOUR opinions! So leave comments below on your favorite(s).

If you do sign up, get $15 off your first pair with the code: LOVE15 (Expires 2/24/12). You can search for specific styles mentioned by clicking the “Trends” tab and entering the name of the shoe in the box! 

This month has me in a tango between several shoes. Some are for this month, and some are from previous months, regardless…they are all amazing. Keep in mind, all the shoes come in 1 or more colors (sometimes five).

Let’s find our soul mates!

LA Posh Party

Let me start of this post by saying THANK YOU to everyone who came to support me at my first “co-host” event! Second, THANK YOU to everyone in general…you all are so wonderful and I feel so blessed by reading all your comments and e-mails. You all are my inspiration and I adore you all!

Second, being part of the Poshmark event was such an experience. If you don’t know what I am talking about, then check out the post about Poshmark and the event here. To summarize, Poshmark is a unique shopping app that allows you to sell the clothes you no longer want through your iPhone. You can either use the money you make to shop through the app or cash it out. The best part? You get 80% of the listing price. Pretty amazing.

Now, onto the good stuff! The event was held at the Crescent Hotel in Beverly Hills, which is one of my favorite hidden gems in Los Angeles. I was greeted by the AMAZING Poshmark team and was heavily impressed at how much thought and detail went into the decor of the event. I met such LOVELY people and truly had such a lovely time. Thank you to the Poshmark team and all my fellow co-hosts!

Cold Shoulder

I can’t believe it’s a) Friday b) February! This month has gone by so fast! 2012 has started out amazing and I can’t wait to see what else is in store! I hope you’re all loving the new look on Le Fashion Monster!

Today’s post is one of my favorites. I recently was introduced to this amazing new online shopping experience, Little Black Bag. LBB is a new take on “grab bags” where we are allowed to choose one item (any item we want!) at a majorly discounted price. After we do so we get “mystery” items added into our bags. The coolest part about this is not only the amazing designers (Kenneth Cole, Nica, Kenneth Jay Lane, and Gorjana to name a few), but you can “trade” any items you want. I traded salt & pepper shakers for a pair of fabulous sunglasses! The item I chose was the Hype Julien Bag (value $145)! You will see it in this post! I am obsessed! Be sure to check out Little Black Bag! Let me know what you think in comments about the concept!

Another one of my favorite items in this post is my  2b stores studded cold shoulder top.I can’t tell you how much I love this top. I have about several outfits planned around this top (stay tuned). I’ve literally fallen in love with the 2b brand and I am so happy I was introduced. If you haven’t checked out 2b stores, you must! A lot of pieces I’ve worn recently are from them.

Also, I’m wearing my pleated leatherette skirt from Storets and my Zara two-tone pumps which I recently just bought.

I am happy I was able to mix all these fabulous pieces together!

Which piece is your favorite?

Camel Crush

Today was a day filled with errands, but even on a mellow day, I try to dress up. As silly as it sounds, it feels so good being slightly dolled up. I had these jeans for months but rarely wear them but I realized they’re the most comfortable jeans I own. Stretchy and soft, they’re amazing. I am also wearing my tan version of the “Valentina” heels from 2b by bebe; you can see the orange ones worn here. Also in this post, I am wearing my new necklace and wrap bracelet from Stella & Dot (more info in a future post). After discovering this jewelry brand I fell in love! Definitely check the company out, they have amazing pieces.

I hope you’re all having an amazing week :)
