Flaunt Trends: Pyramid Studs

So I'm really in love with studs, grommets and such on everything from clothing to shoes, and denim, etc...but who doesn't!?  I've been looking for a pair of simple pyramid studs to wear especially since I'm more of a stud girl than a hoop wearer. With success I found a few pairs online but some too big, too small, or way overpriced. Then magically I found the perfect pair for $30 at Karma Loop and I'm obsessed!! What do you think of wearing the trend as earrings? I FREAKIN' LOVE IT!!! Anyway check out Karma Loop to grab a pair for yourself Flaunt Followers before they sell out.

Flaunt Fabulous Finds: Jessica Simpson vs. Charles Anastase Platform heels

Wow the Jessica Simpson "Dany" platform is a great knock-off to the Charles Anastase platform. I'm a little late especially since these beauties are running out fast and they're just under $100. I love these shoes because they're super high and edgy but sweet at the same time. I also love how the Jessica Simpson platform is more settle for obvious reasons. Must buy asap in black while still available!

I'm a sucker for cheap thrills and ladies once again I found more! I actually tried these F21 studded heels in-store and I liked them, but then I didn't like them so much, and now well I knew I should've gotten them! Maybe I'll have to settle for the Dolce's what do you think Flaunt Followers ummm? Also the grey suede pumps by F21 were only $10!!! I got these in 3 colors, royal blue, black, and the grey! Once again I'm missing some camera action so I haven't been able to show you all my latest buys since Black Friday :( but I promise I will though as soon as I can :)

Flaunt Feet: Shoe Dazzle*

photos: shoedazzle.com

A few weeks ago I meet this girl that introduced me to this site called ShoeDazzle which I thought had a pretty cool concept. I thought you all should check it out, if you haven't already especially for those who love shoes! Creator Kim Kardashian along with several other fashion experts are offering girls a chance to have their own shoe stylist based on their likes/dislikes in fashion.

Every month they choose several pairs of heels for each member to purchase and a reason why they love that particular shoe. It's really simple to sign-up & it's FREE! All you do is answer a few questions during registration and based on your responses they summit several styles they think you'll like. The best part is every pair is ONLY $39.95! Now if you don't like the shoe selections they chose don't worry, they will re-summit new looks for you to pick from ASAP!

To be quite honest I have a deep admiration for shoes so I really don't need much shoe consulting but it's interesting to see what the fashion experts choose and it's great for fashionistas who do need their own shoe stylist! Not to mention you'll never spend more than $40 a pair! Enjoy Flaunt Followers!

Flaunt Fabulous FInds: J Brand Outlet

photography by: 3EyesMedia

Yesterday I went downtown to make a visit to the JBrand Factory Outlet. I've never gone before so I didn't know what to expect. Right before I got there upon entering I got really excited and then even more excited as I walked in! They carry current and somewhat older JBrand styles that are available in stores and at JBrand.com!

The newer style jeans for both men and woman are $70, the older styles are $50 and the jean jackets are $150. This is an awesome opportunity to get JBrands for a fraction of the cost especially if they're sold out everywhere else! I tried on a pair of the new 901 denim leggings in Seal which felt so amazing. They're great because you can wear them with everything & they look just like regular jeans!

I also tried on two 912 low rise pencil leg tie-dye styles that were both $50 and I freaking LOVED them! I always wanted them when they 1st came out and now that they're at a reasonable price, it's so possible! You may have noticed the dark version worn amongst many celbs like Rihanna. Not only were they so darn cute but they also felt sooooo good like butter!

Like I mentioned before there will be a 'Shop The Flaunt Files' store coming soon! So for those of you outside of Los Angeles I'll try to include J Brands jeans so you too can own a pair without breaking the bank!

Also stay tuned next week for a special discount

to use by mentioning The Flaunt Files!

Flaunt Fabulous FInds: My Latest Clothing Purchases

In the past few weeks I got these amazing items! I already own tons of blazers, denim and waisted belts but I can't get enough of them. Especially blazers which I feel are a must-have staple for any wardrobe. I found this sick vintage navy Ralph Lauren blazer, this B.Newmen neon green blazer, and this snake skin camel waisted belt all at Goodwill! I swear when vintage shopping, items find me because I was only in there for about 20mins to kill time. It's like they whisper my name, "Kethia over here I wanna come home with you!"

I also purchased these black jeans w/ lace trim along the side from Forever 21 online. I was so ecstatic to get them in the mail so I wore them out that same night! The studded leather jacket is from this random boutique downtown & the owner was so nice, he even gave it to me for a cheaper price....score!

Flaunt Fabulous Finds: Carlos Falchi for Target

November 1st is around the corner which also means the day that Carlos Falchi launches his line for Target! I haven't been this excited about a designer handbag launch at Target since Gryson did their collaboration about a year ago. Of course the prices will be reasonable starting at $19.99 up to $49.99 vs. a few hundred dollars. I've posted some of my favorite handbags which I plan to hopefully get at least one especially the plum colored bag!!!

Flaunt Feet: My Latest Shoe Purchases

Patented distressed brown pumps Patented black & white platform heels

Leather royal blue gladiator platforms Leather camel buckle boots

Wet Seal snake-skin brown platforms Wet Seal patented black loafer platforms

A couple days ago I went downtown with some friends that were shopping for birthday outfits and shoes. We happened to go back to my secret shoe store that I haven't visited in months! They had a few new pairs that I went crazy for! I love, love, love them all so much and can't wait to flaunt them! I also received my shipment yesterday of two pairs of heels that I bought from WetSeal.com which came out to $32 total while using promo code: ENT0809 for free shipping! I think I did pretty well budget-wise considering how many pairs of shoes I got in two days!

Also I'm soooo sorry I haven't been able to post my outfits for many weeks now. The camera went m.i.a not to mention I rarely have anyone to take full length pics of me. I'll try harder to get that going especially sense so many of you like those type of post the most, and it's also my favorite to post for you Flaunt Fashionistas!

Flaunt Fabulous Finds: F21 vs. Herve Leger

Forever 21 $19.80 Herve Leger $1,350

Forever 21 $22.80 Herve Leger $730

Ok so Forever 21 has managed to do it again! Currently they have a few dresses featured on their online site inspired by Herve Leger's infamous bandage dress. I have to say that the F21 dresses are pretty darn close to the real thing and obviously a fraction of the price. Get them while they're still hot and available flaunt fashionistas!

Flaunt Fantasy: Forever21 Wish List

Hey guys I haven't been here for a while but I'm back and wanted to share the great stuff that's currently on the Forever21 site that I LOVE!! These are some of my top picks that I want sooo bad and each piece is so amazing! I especially love the zipper dress, peep toe booties, and lace body suit. All of these pieces are great essentials to add to any wardrobe and although I picked several black pieces the teal leopard dress and blue sheer tank add just the right amount of color. What do you think of these awesome F21 items Flaunt Followers!?

Flaunt Feet: You're Such a Stud!

I just realized out of all the pairs of shoes I own (48 and counting), which I think, is very little I don't have a pair of studded heels! I'm not sure why I've held back on this trend that has been around for a while, but I think I was looking for the "right" pair. Well I found 4 pairs that I absolutely love to death! Aldo's GUERRETTE heel that's completely embellished in studs with a zipper detail, Steve Madden's BRIGGHT inspired by Balmain crystal studded sandals, ASOS's SOFIA suede heel with a slight cut-out, and Jessica Simpson's Studded Gladiator Sandal with a platform.

stay Fierce, be Fearless, & Flaunt it...you got it!
