Recently I’ve been loving my large statement tassel earrings by LA designer Melissa Velia! (worn above: “At The Opera Earrings” in black) I met her at Project Ethos in Hollywood this year during LA Fashion Week. Her gorgeous spring/summer ’12 line was walking in the show. I wanted to share with you where to get her FAB designs! She has a darling Etsy shop where you can buy up the rest of her Summer line as she makes room for her Fall ’12 designs. Everything is on sale right now – some over 50% off!

I love this Circle high-low skirt with gold nail-head details around the waist. You can find it on sale in her shop for ONLY $25! it was $54.00…This rich color will transition well through this next season and into spring 2013 as well. You can also find the silky sheer tank top with bow front tie in her shop for only $16 (was $28). Local designer garments for such a low price – gotta love it! Also in this photo you can see the model is wearing the “At the Opera” earrings in vintage gold. She makes them in golden yellow, deep maroon, and in signature black. I personally love the black the best, but it’s really the overall design that I love most! They remind me of Audrey Hepburn‘s tassel earplugs in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (my most favorite fashion inspired flick)! Wearing these earrings make me feel so fanciful and royal almost! For only $25 these earrings will add such class to your wardrobe and literally transformed entire outfits in just seconds as they have mine!

Jessica Simpson Pumps: 5.5″ of sexy cutouts and color-blocking!

I most recently added these incredible platform pumps to my collection. They are by far the most adventurous shoes I now own. Yes, much more adventurous than say hiking boots (which i actually don’t own haha!)…..I mean come-on, it’d be a hell of a crazy time trying to hike a mountain in these bad boys! :P They are 5.5″ high, have a huge chunky platform, super sexy cutouts with elastic across the top in black; the platform’s aqua base is suede, the dark blue and hot pink swirled cutouts are shiny & smooth leather. Walking around in these for me is such a breeze….they have the greatest amount of minimal cushion (on the toe pad and at the heel) so it doesn’t look bulky, but it lets my soles feel comfy – not to mention I’ve had some practice in walking in 5 inch heels!

I’m completely in love with these pumps, not only for the fact that they are ultra sexy and colorful, but they instantly turn me into a giant fashion monster. Translation: “I’m only 5’5″ barefoot, when I slip these on, I suddenly am towering at 5’11″, which is definitely a new height for me!” Seriously my legs are perfectly toned and miles long, my butt gets a nice lil lift (just keeping it real – you know it happens to you too & you love it!), and I no longer have to get on my toes to kiss my 6-foot hunkin’ boyfriend. – Oh I wonder if he realllly reads my blogs….haha, we’ll find out! -

I bought my first pair of platform pumps just 6 months ago….they were GUESS leopard print & black glossy leather, peep toe 5 inch heels. Since then, I have failed to fall in love with a heel that doesn’t have a platform! Sure I see ‘regular’ high heels and I think they’re cute…I try ‘em on and I just don’t get the same adrenaline rush of growing 5″ in a split second…it’s just not the same. Although platforms aren’t the most practical shoe in the world, in my opinion they are the most beautiful…and fun to wear!
