Diary Of Doc Diva

Happy Shoesday lovelies!

Everyone who knows me will tell you that I love a good pair of Over The Knee (OTK) boots. It is my favorite item for fall/winter. I may not invest heavily on Coats or Jackets, but I usually and will invest in a good pair of OTK boots. I have been looking for the perfect pair of Red Leather Over The Knee Boots all season, and I finally found them! I had previously purchased a gorgeous pair of Steve Madden Red Suede boots (story for another day), but they were not OTK. I had tried a few, but I was either not happy with the fit or the quality was not good enough. When I stumbled on this TopShop Pair, I was very excited. I decided to order it, and try it out to see if it was too good to be true.

When I tried them on, I felt goose bumps all over! They were gorgeous to say the least. I wore them for about an hour around the house, and they were extremely comfortable to walk in. I know I said this before but I simply LOVE them! I wear a size 39 and they were true to size. Even with a pair of socks, they did not feel too tight.

You might as well call me Mrs Red Boots because I will be rocking my 2 pairs of red boots all Fall/Winter Long! :D :)   I know what you are thinking, of course I will share the looks!

I also found cheaper alternatives to the pair above, depending on your budget and preference, and I think they are just as fabulous.

Hey Lovelies,

Happy Shoesday Tuesday! If you have been paying attention to the fashion scene, you would have noticed these super fabulous boots by Yves Saint Laurent. Recently spotted on a lot of celebs such as Rihanna, Celine Dion, Black Chyna and hip hop sensation, Cardi B, these babies cost a whopping $10,000 USD. Yes, you read that right!

I certainly did a double take when I first saw them, but quickly looked away when I found out how much they cost. But thank goodness for Style steals, I can now get the look for much much much much much less. And you know, I would never find a style steal and not share. :)

The steal is also a fabulous pair by Steve Madden, and when I tried them on at the Steve Madden store, I did not want to take it off. They were very sparkly and truly beautiful.


This season, Steve Madden has a lot of must have boots and booties, and I would definitely recommend you check them out. Some of my personal favorites are HERE, HERE, and HERE.


Thank you for stopping by,


Enjoy the rest of your week!

Hey Lovelies,

Happy Monday! Today's Fab fashion find is this Oversized Gingham Trench Coat by Miss Selfridge. Lord knows I have been looking for the Perfect Gingham Trench Coat, so when I found these, I was over the moon with joy. It is also very affordable, so I purchased it immediately I saw it, and trust me when I say, It is absolutely stunning. I love the fitting and length. I am 5 ft 8 inches so it stops exactly where I want it to. It is slightly oversized too, so I would recommend you get your regular size.

This trench will be perfect for fall, and I will definitely have it on heavy rotation.

I have included this and other options to chose from below.





I hope you have an amazing week.

Thank you so much for stopping by..

Hey Lovelies,

The Nordstrom anniversary sale is here! I have been looking forward to this, as I have had my eye on a few items. I don't know about you, but I always love a good bargain!

Personally, I will be shopping for fall items such as sweaters, jackets, coats, tights, and beauty items, as I tend to shop for those in the summer because they tend to be more expensive in the fall and winter months. It is also the perfect opportunity to grab a gift for your spouse or significant other.

Many of the items tend to sell out very quickly, so if you see something that you like, it is advised to purchase them, because it usually a case of fastest fingers first. The sale will end on August 6th, and
by the 7th everything will go back to their normal prizes.

I have put a few of my top picks together, so check them out below.

Thank you for stopping by...

Hello Lovelies,

It is officially the first day of Summer, and I am extremely excited. I have said this many times before that the Summer is my favorite season of the year. Something about all the sunshine, and all the fun activities that can occur with it; like going on vacation, hanging out with friends at the beach, picnics, barbeques, going to theme parks and such.

The summer is also the perfect weather to wear bright colors, which you all know I love.  It is also the perfect time for me to wear fun dresses. I have been shopping for a lot of dresses on ASOS lately and I currently have an endless list in my shopping cart.

The best part is that ASOS is having an up to 50% Off Sale on some of their items, so the time to score on some fabulous pieces is now. I have provided links to some of my favorites below.




Thank you for stopping by, and cheers to the beginning of an amazing summer!

Happy Shopping!

3) Big (Bell) Sleeves

With the Sleeve trend, it is go big or go home! The bigger your sleeves the better! I was initially amused by some of the big sleeves I would come across while shopping, but you know what they say, if you can't beat them join them, and that is what I have done! Because now I am obsessed with big sleeves, and I really can't help myself.



4) Flower Embroidery

What screams Spring more than flowers? Although the flower embroidery trend came around last year, it is now more popular than ever. From runways, to the pages of magazines, every piece you see has some flower embroidery on it, literally. I am also starting to OD on it, and I ain't sorry!



5) The Flamingo

I am loving the flamingo trend so much that I am doing the Flamingo dance as I type. Wait, is there anything such thing as the flamingo dance? No? Ok, well when it comes, remember you heard about it here first! The interesting thing about fashion, is that people somewhere, decide to trend something as random as a flamingo. I find it to be very cute, and though, I haven't yet purchased any flamingo patterned piece, I have my eye on a few...

6) Worded Tees

Yes, believe it! Worded Tees are now the coolest thing in planet fashion. The best part is that your T-shirt can say whatever you want it to say. What better way to truly express yourself, than this? I totally love it!

7) Metallics

The metallics trend is another spill over trend from the fall. If I had to pick a top 3 of the 10 trends listed, it would definitely be one of them. I just love the shine of metallics, and nothing is as fashion forward as a metallics piece. I have certainly filled my closet with a lot of metallics pieces, and I will continue to wear them till I am 100 years old!


8) Bold Stripes

Stripes were definitely a hit on the runways during fashion week. They are not particularly a new trend, but they are on my top 10. The major thing about stripes is that you have to consider your body type / shape when styling them. If you are petite or not tall, or on the thick or voluptuous side, then I would go for vertical stripes. If you are on the skinny or tall side, then the horizontal stripes will work for you. If you are an experimenter, then you can mix stripes with different prints or patterns for a fun, fab look.




9) Pearl Embellishments

I find these to be fun and sophisticated. They are a way to spice up pieces and give them a playful vibe. They also make for great DIYs as you can do them yourself with old pearl accessories. It is a trend that would make you clutch your pearls, because DIY enthusiasts will be coming for them.



10) The Color Pink

The last, but not the least trend I love this Spring is the color pink. I mentioned in my last post that I have been obsessed with pink lately. Well, the fashion gods must have seen and felt my heart, because pink is the one of the hottest colors this season. Fuchsia pink, in particular seems to be leading the pink race, as I have spotted it in a lot of Spring Collections. As we transition from Spring to Summer, I will be color blocking my pinks with other bright colors.


What are some of your favorite trends for the Spring? Which of the above mentioned trends will you be rocking this Spring?

I would love to read your comments, so feel free to leave them below.

Thank you for stopping by,

I am currently shopping for my summer wardrobe, and I think this one is going to make the cut.

I have included more fun maxi dresses, so there is something to fit everyone's taste and style.

See you soon!

If you do not have any "special" men in your life, then it may not be a bad idea to get something for your brother or father if you are really close.

If you also cannot be fussed to get gifts for your man, then a box of chocolates, a nice card, a relaxing massage, or warm hugs and kisses will do just fine! Just make him feel special in your own little way :)

Hey Lovelies,
Who else is excited about Valentine's Day? I know I am! Although I always get stuck when it comes to deciding on what gifts to get my hubby.

I was sooo stuck one year, I got him flowers and a box of chocolate... I know it isn't a very traditional thing to do, but he actually appreciated it.



Babe, if you are reading this, I promise I will get you something nice this year! :) ;)

I know this post says for her, but don't worry ladies, I will help you with a few ideas as well.

Fellas, I hope this helps? Make sure you put a big smile on her face this Valentine's day!


Thanks for stopping by,


XOXO
