Let’s see how that goes. Today, the red roses head dress sported by the gorgeous Lupita is my ode to Valentine’s Day. I think the make up is also fitting for “love day.”  Isn’t she striking? I hope your “week of love” is off to a great start! xx<br /><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://nymag.com/thecut/2014/02/lupita-nyongo-new-fashion-it-girl.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">{image}</a></span></div>

Outfit Inspired by Orthaheel: Pin Me!:-)

I was attracted to their brand because their shoes are manufactured with orthopedic technology that is geared toward the relief of heel pain and the relief of pain if you suffer from plantar fasciitis. I’ve had plantar fasciitis under my right foot for a while. I have gotten in treated in the past, but I do still have some discomfort. The folks at Orthaheel gave me the option to choose the pair I wanted, so I chose these called the <a href="http://www.orthaheelusa.com/women/sandals/hampton-toe-post-sandal.html"><strong><span style="color: #dd8484;">Hampton Toe Post</span></strong></a>.  I was pleasantly surprised at how stylish they are and I’ve received numerous compliments from people of all ages about how lovely they look. Of course, as to be expected they are super, super comfortable and one could walk in these for hours. </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="background-color: #cccccc; color: #dd8484; font-size: large;">What is the Orthaheel Campaign?</span></div><div align="center">Well, after I’ve styled my look, I have to pin it and hope for it to be repinned a gazillion times. I plan on pinning that first image since the sandals are shown more clearly.  The most pinned look(hopefully mine gets a prize). I’ve also decided if I win that I will have a giveaway on the blog to give the prize away. It’s a really great prize too!<img alt="Smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-WTAu5uSu2V0/UebNowWPyQI/AAAAAAAAHR4/mLc6s1yVk7M/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" />. </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="background-color: #ffc000; color: #dd8484; font-size: large;">Details on what I’m Wearing Above:</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">Top: Old Navy</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">White shorts: Borrowed from my bestie<img alt="Smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-WTAu5uSu2V0/UebNowWPyQI/AAAAAAAAHR4/mLc6s1yVk7M/wlEmoticon-smile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">Cuff: </span><a href="http://www.crazyandco.com/shop/bracelets.html?p=1"><span style="font-size: small;">CrazyandCo</span></a></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">Ring and necklace: (from my collection)I think I purchased them from Belk</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: small;">Sandals: </span><a href="http://www.orthaheelusa.com/women/sandals/hampton-toe-post-sandal.html"><span style="font-size: small;">Orthaheel</span></a></div><div align="center">Although the post is sponsored by Orthaheel, all my thoughts on the sandals are my own.

I really need to work on that! Thanks in advance! Blessings and happy Wednesday. XX</div>
