What I’m Wearing
Belt (not shown): J Crew
My bangs are so annoying. I got them cut too short thinking that I could deal with them a little short so that I wouldn’t have to get them trimmed as often but now I hate them. I end up pinning them back every day. If you’re on my facebook or twitter you may have seen my update about my T3 blow dryer that exploded while I was drying my hair. Scariest thing ever! While I was blow drying I thought I heard it making a funny noise so I pointed it away from my hair (thank goodness!) because as I did that, the inside of the dryer went “BOOM! BOOM!” a few times and I screamed in fear as I tried to turn it off but the thing wouldn’t turn off and it was still popping and cracking while in my hand. I screamed the entire time because I didn’t know what to do! It finally stopped and then I dropped it to the ground and you could hear all the little parts of the motor had shattered inside. I now call it my very expensive maraca as all it does it make rattling noises now. I got some fantastic feedback from you guys on facebook on which hair dryer I should buy and did a ton of research on which got the best reviews. It was hard to decide but I ended up getting the Elchim 2001 from Folica.com and I got it in the mail yesterday and can’t wait to try it out. I’ll let you guys know how I like it! BTW, I’m NEVER buying T3 again! I love my T3 curling iron but the hair dryer thing was traumatic. After that happened, I went online and saw that the same thing happened to a lot of people so I’m warning those of you with a T3 hair dryer that if it starts making a strange noise like you’ve never heard it make before, kind of like a strong buzzing noise, turn it off, put it down and step away before it explodes!
This is my exact blazer but it kind of looks terrible on this mannequin right? Trust me when I say it looks much better on and in person. And good for those of us with short arms that regularly have to roll our sleeves up. This one has the perfect length sleeves!
The LOFT blazer is great and comes in regular and petite sizes and they are doing 40% off all orders right now! (And if you use ebates, you’ll get 3% cashback as well) Check out the T by Alexander Wang Knit Blazer love the unexpected cut out on the back!
You could also get the Simple Pump 85. I prefer the Simple 100 pumps but these are fab for those of you that don’t want as high of a heel. The ones I’m wearing are the Ron Ron pumps in the patent leather. These are actually the 2nd pair of Louboutins I had ever bought! They don’t get worn as much now but they are one of the first that started my crazy collection.
For a better price point, did you see these ? Really cute! I tried these Pour la Victoire platform pumps, which are pretty much dupes of the YSL Tributes and they are very comfy!
One last note, I get a lot of questions and comments about my jewelry and how to wear it, how to layer it, how to know if you are wearing too much, too little, etc… Check out my post on the Smarter blog for my tips on how to add jewelry to your outfits!

April 15, 2011 at 3:25 pmAh scary about the blow dryer! I don't think I'm following you on FB – I'll have to fix that.
I can't stop looking at that clutch, it's a great size!
Have a great weekend Tiffany 🙂

April 15, 2011 at 5:18 pmI can relate to the screaming because my coffee maker exploded and I screamed so much you would think I was being chased by an axe murderer.
I use a French press now…

April 15, 2011 at 5:32 pm@Elaine A (TOBeautyReviews) yes, it's the perfect size clutch I think! Have a great weekend too!
iamstylish
April 15, 2011 at 5:33 pm@Lily I was so scared! Mainly because I had no idea what was going on and when it would stop.
iamstylish
April 15, 2011 at 5:33 pm@Sheila thank you! Funny enough, as much as I love pink, this one doesn't get used as much!
iamstylish
April 15, 2011 at 5:34 pm@Twenty.Something needing some bright colors these days as the sun refuses to come out in Seattle!
iamstylish
April 15, 2011 at 5:34 pm@CessOviedo I hope so too, the bangs are SO annoying. I'm never going to get them cut so short again!
iamstylish
April 15, 2011 at 5:34 pm@Viv it was kind of the perfect match right?
iamstylish
April 15, 2011 at 5:35 pm@heavenrain thank you! I hope you do, I would love to see your version of it! 🙂
iamstylish
April 15, 2011 at 5:35 pm@Agnes in Wonderland I thought so too 🙂 I like pink but I actually don't wear it too often.
iamstylish
April 15, 2011 at 5:36 pm@Serena SCARY!! I know, I think my husband thought I was being attacked in the bathroom.

April 15, 2011 at 9:10 pmAre your Ron Rons comfortable compared to your Simple 100s? Just wondering because my feet aren't that narrow, so I'm extra picky about which CLs will be comfortable for me!
iamstylish
April 15, 2011 at 9:35 pm@JENNY I don't even know what I'd do without my lash extensions! I'm so addicted!
iamstylish
April 15, 2011 at 9:36 pm@Honeysuckle aw thank you! luckily I like that look too so it works but I can't wait until they are a little bit longer so they don't act so strange when i don't pin them back.
iamstylish
April 15, 2011 at 9:36 pm@Justine you should! Just have to get used to it if you are a big bag girl like me but I think you'll like it too!
iamstylish
April 15, 2011 at 9:38 pm@DesignCatalog The Ron Ron's are less comfortable than the Simple 100's. Especially if you're feet aren't narrow, I think the Ron Ron's run a bit tighter to the foot but still true to size, sizing wise. I would definitely recommend the Simple pumps for you! (Simple pumps also run TTS for me)

April 15, 2011 at 9:46 pmTiffany that t3 hairdryer story is so scary! I have one and now afraid to dry my hair with it! I'd rather have frizzy hair then risk being electrocuted. However on a positive note I love the dashes of pink in your outfit and have managed to convince me to get a Rebecca minkoff clutch! Happy Friday!'
Stephanie
April 15, 2011 at 11:09 pmLove that bag. It really is Arm Candy.

April 16, 2011 at 2:26 amI love that clutch. The leather looks so soft even in the photos. Your story was scary but I am glad you found a new hair dryer. Have a great weekend!
Yuni
April 16, 2011 at 5:17 amHairdryers and I do not get along well. So scary about yours! However blazers + clutches = match made in heaven and I love the color of that clutch, it reminds me of lipstick. So sweet and sexy!
Lisa
April 16, 2011 at 7:32 amYikes! Tiffany I'm glad you weren't hurt by the dryer you could have really burned yourself or something awful!
I HEART this outfit the beautiful pink against the black just looks so polished and chic! You just look so effortlessly put together!

Amy
April 17, 2011 at 2:29 amTiffany, I forgot to mention, do you have issues of colors from your clothes bleeding onto your MAC clutch? If so, what do you do about this??

April 17, 2011 at 7:36 am@Make Mommy Chic I know, so scary! I hope that it doesn't happen to you and chances are you are probably okay but please do make sure to just be aware if it starts to sounds funny, it will most likely do the same thing!
iamstylish
April 17, 2011 at 7:37 am@Stephanie I almost called this post "Cotton Candy" because of all the pink but Arm Candy seemed more appropriate 🙂
iamstylish
April 17, 2011 at 7:37 am@ABIGAIL NY thank you!
iamstylish
April 17, 2011 at 7:38 am@PetiteLittleGirl RM uses really great leather, it really is so soft!
So far so good with the new dryer!

April 17, 2011 at 7:40 am@Chelsea thank goodness you feel my pain! I can't wait until they grow out!
iamstylish
April 17, 2011 at 7:41 am@Amy I haven't had any issues with color bleeding with the MAC Clutch but I have had jeans that bleed onto my white bags and that is so annoying. So far I haven't yet found a solution. 🙁 Sorry I can't help but if I do find a solution, I'll make sure to write a post about it!

April 17, 2011 at 7:41 am@Chic 'n Cheap Living Ooh, love that clutch! Get it! 🙂

April 17, 2011 at 3:22 pmRebecca Minkoff is my weakness. I've always wanted that clutch, but I don't know why I didn't just pull the trigger on it. That definitely is going to be my next purchase.

April 18, 2011 at 3:39 pmOMG Tiff! That is so scary about the hairdryer! I hope you contacted T3 to let them know or take it back to where you bought it. They should re-compensate you and then some! eek!
Love love love that new quilted RM MAC.
