White is my favorite color to wear during the summer time and maxi dresses are my go-to for easy, effortless attire. So a white maxi is the perfect combination for me at the moment. I'm showcasing this look as part of Banana Republic's "Simply Sophisticated Summer" campaign. I don't see this dress in stock anymore on their website, but I am linking my picks for a few of their maxi dresses that are currently available: <a href="http://bit.ly/2sRjcqm" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/2rxZETQ" target="_blank">here</a>, and <a href="http://bit.ly/2sR3g7z" target="_blank">here</a>. Hope everyone is having a wonderful summer so far! </div>

Items that can be multi-functional are easy for me to take the plunge on. I am excited to partner up with Banana Republic to showcase these two looks, with the dress acting as the multi-functional piece. I love this dress for the weekend--off the shoulder, flared sleeves, and a dramatic bow. The length and striped pattern also would make it a good work dress. Topped with a classic cardigan and a pearl necklace, a<span style="font-family: inherit;">nd <span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">voilĂ </span>, easy peasy transition between play and work.</span><br />

Tweed is one of my favorite fabrics. Whatever the item is, I think it always looks more elegant and chic in tweed. Most of my work dresses are actually from Banana Republic. They usually have a good selection of work-appropriate dresses that are classic yet modern. This dress is no exception. The white color makes it perfect to wear for Spring.</div>

Spring is just around the corner. I've partnered up with Banana Republic on their "What Moves Us" campaign to showcase two of their spring items, with this pleated top as part of my first outfit post. I am loving that the trend of top details are still going on strong this coming season, such as with pleats, ruffles, and dramatic sleeves. I've included my top 5 BR spring tops that are on my wish list that include these trends.</div>

Excited that the rain has let up and the sun is shining more often. I can still rely on a sweater dress, OTK boots, and tights to keep me warm during the transitional weather until the temperature warms up. This sweater dress is an oldie but goodie. I adore the skater dress style as it keeps the look more fresh than the typical straight-sided pullover sweater style (although I love those as well!). </div>

A short and sweet post, as I need to catch some zzz's when I can, since the little one still wakes up during the night. I've been reaching for this outfit lately for a weekend look--casual, yet put together. I've been on the hunt for quite some time for some platform oxford shoes and a casual brown bag, and I am loving these picks. Have a wonderful week!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to incorporate other types of <i>style cues </i>on the blog<i>,</i> besides the fashion realm, such as lifestyle and travel. You may remember that I vacationed in Dubai a while ago (with <a href="http://www.stylecuebysuzieq.com/2014/12/cozy-sweater-flowy-skirt.html" target="_blank">this outfit post</a> and on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stylecue/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>), but I want to share more about the trip itself through visuals and about my trip experience with recommendations.</div>

<br />
I have been mesmerized by Dubai--a city in the middle East that has become a cosmopolitan metropolis with endless high-rises and luxuries. After visiting, I am impressed with the city's drive and innovation to create the best of the best in various categories.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">How long to go for:</span> </b> We stayed for 4 days, 3 nights, and I thought that was sufficient time to experience the city. We made this our layover stop before we headed to Thailand. Dubai airport is a major international hub, so if your final destination is elsewhere, you can take advantage and extend your layover for a few days. That is enough time if you want an adventurous trip or just relaxation on <a href="http://bit.ly/2bu9jYc" target="_blank">Jumeirah Beach</a> or on <a href="http://bit.ly/2bqXI7I" target="_blank">Palm Islands</a>. If you want a combination of both, then additional time should be factored in.</div>

<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Where to stay:</span> </b>We stayed at the hotel <a href="http://bit.ly/2brLy31" target="_blank">Bonnington Jumeirah Lakes Towers</a> in the neighborhood of Dubai Marina. The hotel met all of my criteria when I typically research what hotels to stay at on vacations: modern and clean, cost (price is reasonable for a five-star hotel since we planned to be out exploring majority of the time), free wifi, in a good location that is easily accessible to activities and public transportation (walking distance to a metro), amenities. They also have free shuttle to some locations. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<i><b>Shopping</b>:</i> Dubai is notoriously known for this with their dozens of shopping malls and also being home of the world's largest mall, <a href="https://www.thedubaimall.com/" target="_blank">The Dubai Mall</a>. Honestly though, it was fun to window shop, but I ended up not buying anything during my trip. There are some countries where I look forward to shopping with either having boutique shops native to the country (such as many East Asian countries) or buying designer items that I could benefit with some sort of discount compared to buying in the US (such as Europe with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_value_added_tax" target="_blank">VAT</a>), but neither of this was the case at either of the two malls that I went to in Dubai. Designer items were actually a little higher priced compared to US after currency conversion rate during the time that I went.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><i>- Helpful tip</i>: if you don't want to stand in the crowd of people, eat dinner at one of the mall's restaurants with outdoor seating area that faces the fountain. We wanted breakfast comfort food, so we ate at IHOP and unbeknownst to us that they have an outdoor seating area with a good view of the show (as seen in the pic below). We sat in comfort away from the crowd and watched show after show (since they occur every half hour) while we ate our meal. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Dress code cultural etiquette:</span></b> Even though Dubai is quite westernized, the traditional wear for Arab women have them covered up from head to toe. General consensus that I gathered is to be respectful of their culture with your attire. Although I saw some Westerners in shorts and tanks, I erred on the more conservative side and wore dresses/skirts past my knees. Baring shoulders seemed okay, especially while walking around outside in the heat. In the malls, I brought a cardigan to cover up my shoulders. For the desert safari, I wore shorts since I knew I would get sandy.</div>

A trend that you may have noticed by now with my Fall wardrobe, I prefer layers and long, flowy outerwear. This <a href="http://www.tobi.com/" target="_blank">Tobi</a> casual trench is no exception. Currently in Cali, the days are still warm and evenings become more cool, so this soft trench works well for the transitional weather. I paired the dark gray trench with pale pink, as this is one of my favorite color combinations. </div>

This bodycon skirt set from <a href="http://www.tobi.com/" target="_blank">Tobi</a> can be worn for a date night or night on the town with its body-hugging fit and midriff-baring style and it would be simply sexy.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>At 1 week old</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that my lil' one is 3 months old, there were things that I picked up during my "nesting" period during pregnancy that I ended up not using as much and other items that I either bought during that time or sometime after he was born which I don't know how I could do without! I'm sharing five items which I found that are essential for me as a first-time mom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/2bCSCJT" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Pandawill Nightlight</span></b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a new mom, I was anxious for the first two months with how the baby was sleeping. I checked on him frequently while he was sleeping to make sure he was doing okay, so I slept with the lights on for the first 6 weeks until I bought this nightlight! Standard nightlights didn't cut it for me since they were not bright enough. However, with this nightlight, I was able to turn off the bedroom light with ease. This nightlight radiates a soft yellow light that is bright enough to see the baby while he's asleep, change diaper, and nurse in the middle of the night without turning on the room light. Bonus that the nightlight has cute art on it. Game changer for an overly anxious new mom! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/2bCS3jn" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;">NoseFrida Nasal Aspirator</span></b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The standard blue bulb suction didn't work well most of the time and my baby ended up fussing every time with that. Sucking snot for me all changed once I got this. It works incredibly well and the baby never fusses, which makes the job so much easier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/2bBplej" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Baby Glass Nail File</span></b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The one thing that I did not expect about new motherhood and that no one ever mentioned to me before is...how often I have to cut the baby's nails! It is quite impressive how fast a newborn's nails grow. I found myself needing to trim his nails every other day, otherwise he would end up with scratch marks on his face. I first had the sandpaper kind of nail file, which became dull pretty quickly. Then, I bought this glass file and it made filing nails so much more easy as it worked better so I was able to get it done faster and I don't have to worry about the file wearing out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/2bCSoTj" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Tiny Love Take Along Mobile</span></b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose this mobile because the bright colors, distinct shapes, and black and white patterns are perfect for a newborn's (blurry) vision. It comes with different attachment options so I can take it with me on the go. It also has music that can play for up to 30 minutes before needing to be reset. I typically can barely get anything done around the house when the baby is awake because he always wants to be held (sleeping or awake!), but with this mobile, he stays happy in his bassinet while he's awake and I can actually do some work or eat!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/white-noise-baby/id337495029?mt=8" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;">White Noise Baby App</span></b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are many different phone apps for this, but I downloaded this particular one as I read that Katie Couric recommended this. The best $0.99 purchase that I've made! No need to spend a large amount on a white noise machine. This has multiple options for different white noises (my favorite is conch shell). It also has some classical music that is perfect for babies. The white noise is meant for the baby to sleep better, but it seriously helps <i>me</i> sleep better. Even though I wake up every 2-3 hours to nurse the baby, my sleep quality seems so much better during those couple hours of zzz's with the white noise on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My bassinet review:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/2bBpJtb" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Graco Dream Suite Bassinet</span></b></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a large selection of bassinets, so everyone will prefer a different bassinet that fits their needs. This bassinet is not an essential item, but I am happy with the one that we got so I want to provide my thoughts on it in case anyone may be debating between some with this being a contender. I was deciding between 2 different bassinets, but I ultimately decided to go with this one as I like that the bassinet is reversible in becoming a changer. I typically use a regular changing table, but this was super helpful during his bath times. I would just wheel the changer to the bathroom right next to his bathtub that we place on the sink counter, so it was convenient to undress/dress him and quickly dry him off right then and there, since I always get nervous that he would slip out of my grip while he is wet when I take him out of his bathtub. With the bassinet also having wheels was really convenient for us as we wheeled the bassinet between our bedroom and living room multiple times daily, sometimes with him still sleeping in it.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">I would love to read what items are/were essential for you and your newborn!</span></i></div>

I tend to gravitate towards blazers since they can be dressed up or down and it's perfect for layering during the Fall transitional weather. I love that this blazer from <a href="http://www.tobi.com/" target="_blank">Tobi</a> has a fit-to-flare silhouette and its asymmetric, long length provides some drama with any movement. I paired it with tweed shorts here, which has also been my transitional Fall piece lately, but I can already picture myself pairing this blazer for an evening look with dress and heels.</div>

<span style="text-align: start;">The off-the-shoulder look is rampant this season. It works to my advantage since it makes nursing easy and I can still look on trend. While I was pregnant, some of my favorite maternity dresses were by </span><a href="http://www.pinkblushmaternity.com/default.aspx" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank">PinkBlush</a><span style="text-align: start;">, so I am excited to partner up with them to showcase one of their current dresses. They have myriad of dresses, many of which can easily transition from maternity to motherhood wear, such as this one. That also means, there are many options that non-moms can wear too.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't been on a shopping spree in what seemed like eons. One of my first major shopping spree since pre-pregnancy days was with Nordstrom's anniversary sale. I picked up one of the bracelets and the seemingly bloggers' favorite lace-up flats. There are several days left of the sale, and these items are still in stock! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="s1">Now, onto some motherhood talk. This outfit actually works great for me during the postpartum period. The scalloped shorts have an elastic waistband, so it fits prior to me returning to my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm always looking for tops that are suitable for nursing that are more varied than the expected V-neck tee or button-up shirt, so I was glad to find a top that is actually meant to be a nursing top, and the draping (hard to see in these pics) makes it a bit more stylish.</span><br />

<img border="0" src="https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7691/28357277902_3d0f926f6e_z.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For maternity wear, I didn't want to overdo on buying too many or too pricey items because the wardrobe seemed so fleeting, only being worn for less than 9 months. So this is my personal experience in curating an affordable maternity wardrobe collection, being able to still look modern without breaking the bank.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>FIRST & SECOND TRIMESTERS</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the first half of pregnancy, you can get away with your regular tops if you have some loose/flowy ones in your wardrobe. It's usually the bottom that needs some sort of adjustment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://bit.ly/29NQjPd" target="_blank">INGRID & ISABEL BELLABAND</a> / <a href="http://bit.ly/29NQjPd" target="_blank">BEBAND</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wear business casual attire for work. I found that maternity wear really lacks in good quality dress pants. I actually didn't buy any maternity dress pants or jeans the whole time. Instead, I relied on maternity band to hold up my regular unbuttoned pants. This also came in handy in the immediate postpartum period. There is <a href="http://bit.ly/29QXjuG" target="_blank">the original bellaband</a>, and the brand also made <a href="http://bit.ly/29NQjPd" target="_blank">one for Target</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>SECOND & THIRD TRIMESTERS</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://bit.ly/29Q6UlE" target="_blank"> MAMLICIOUS LEGGINGS</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I couldn't even put my regular pants past my hips anymore, I turned to leggings. I bought several maternity leggings, but I tended to reach for <a href="http://bit.ly/29Q6UlE" target="_blank">this reliable pair</a> most often. It doesn't pill, isn't see-through, and the waistband sat at a comfortable position on the belly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/ad/mzatwmf4w" target="_blank">ZULILY</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For maternity dresses and tops, majority of my shopping was done online at <a href="http://rstyle.me/ad/mzatwmf4w" target="_blank">Zulily</a>. I've heard of the site before, but didn't know much about it prior to my pregnancy. It is a flash sale site providing reasonably priced items. The dresses I got from here I wore to work and on weekends. There wasn't one item that I bought that I thought was poor quality, and I received frequent compliments on the dresses.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/ad/eaqr2xmf4w" target="_blank">ASOS</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I choose online over in-store shopping any day. This is the only other online place that I shopped for maternity clothes. They have cute dresses, especially for special occasions. The two dresses worn below are from here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/29OxeAd" target="_blank">ASOS dress (here)</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" height="961" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8050/28178888390_7f3a95cc1d_b.jpg" width="640" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bit.ly/29PnG8c" target="_blank">ASOS dress (here)</a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://www.rentmaternitywear.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">RENT MATERNITY WEAR</span></a><br />
So I didn't have any chance to use this website, but I looked through it as I was contemplating on traveling to a formal event towards the end of my pregnancy. <a href="http://www.stylecuebysuzieq.com/2015/06/black-tie-affair.html" target="_blank">I'm a fan</a> of <a href="http://rstyle.me/ad/dys5q7mf4w" target="_blank">Rent the Runway</a>, so I'm glad there is a similar site for maternity wear. Although the selection isn't as wide as Rent the Runway, it is great if you don't want to shell out a lot on a dress that you would just wear once. <br />

<i>Helloo, </i>I'm back! I've been MIA for a while. This is not an outfit post, but a brief note to explain my absence to the readers who have followed along for a while. There were many reasons for my blogging hiatus. I transitioned into a new job, moved to a new place, expanded my family, and just overall got busy with life. I started blogging as a side hobby for fun. However, it started to feel like it was becoming more of a chore, with personally feeling like I <i>should</i> try to keep up with regular content and I just lost the motivation and inspiration to blog. I stopped all fashion blogging things for close to a year. I haven't logged into my blog account, email, or social media, and haven't read any other fashion blogs this whole time! So now, after a long breather, I feel refreshed and am starting to get my mojo back. So here I am...with a new addition :) During my time off, I also went through pregnancy and am now a new mommy to a precious baby boy. I am going to start blogging for <i>fun</i> again, so which means it may be less regular posting, especially as I am juggling a new baby and full time job! Thanks for reading and for continuing this journey with me!</div>

One thing that I look forward to in Fall is that I can bust out my boots and booties. Although I love these types of heeled footwear, my feet definitely feel it after a whole day of walking/standing. I was recently introduced to Vionic, a shoe brand that specializes in "orthaheel technology." Definitely the best arch support that I've had, especially in heels. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week!</div>

My friends and family know that I'm a major sweet tooth. Macarons are undeniably my favorite sweet treat. They have the perfect amount of sweetness to them, they are airy and light, and so cute to look at! When <a href="http://macaroncafe.com/" target="_blank">Macaron Cafe</a> sweetly sent me a box of macarons, it inspired me to create this post for macaron-inspired ways to incorporate the dessert into your wardrobe. These items would also be great gift ideas for those who may have an affection for the sweets, like I do :)</div>

<a href="http://macaroncafe.com/" target="_blank">Macaron Cafe</a> is located in NYC. They can deliver in Manhattan and also ship nationwide with next day delivery! When I received mine, I actually saved them for the following day to share, and it honestly still tasted fresh and airy, just the way I like my macarons. Even though mine was gifted, I can honestly say that I definitely recommend Macaron Cafe as a great gift option (or if you're just craving some macarons from NY) :)</div>

Years and years ago, I would equate one-piece swimsuits to something that my mother and old ladies would wear. I first saw one-piece swimsuits emerge onto the fashion scene a few seasons ago. Since then, they have become more and more prominent each season. I can see why. I was immediately drawn to <a href="http://bit.ly/1LTkaFe" target="_blank">this Boohoo suit</a> I'm wearing with its retro and flirty style with the ruffles and sweetheart neckline.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This post is in collaboration with <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/" target="_blank">Boohoo</a> as part of their "Summer Fridays" campaign. Winter weather seemed to linger for a good chunk of the year in NYC the last couple years, so I love to take advantage of the summer time by spending a part of my Friday (or weekend) catching up with friends on a rooftop, such as rooftop bars, taking in the gorgeous city skyline. These photos were actually taken at my friend's apartment rooftop with a pool, which I stepped away from since the flowers were too pretty to pass up to shoot!</div>

I adore this fitted white floral dress with its classic and feminine style. I wore this look to a celebratory dinner party, which is perfect for the spring/summer time. I also can't get enough of the paired accessories with this outfit. The blush colored <a href="http://bit.ly/1CASywr" target="_blank">GiGi NewYork</a> clutch is so practical as it is convertible to a bag with its detachable straps. The watch is from <a href="http://rumbatime.com/collections/shop-all/products/orchard-chain-rose-smoke" target="_blank">RumbaTime</a>, which I feel can blend well in an arm candy party with its trendy band and face watch. Hope everyone has a lovely week!</div>

The one style that I have always gravitated to since I was young is the feminine, romantic look. I don't know what outfit would be more representative of that style than white lace combined with blush pink tulle skirt. </div>

My current statement necklace on heavy rotation is the one I'm wearing with this look, which seems to go with all of my lighter color wardrobe during the summer time. It's from <a href="http://www.happinessboutique.com/en/" target="_blank">Happiness Boutique</a>, which I'd like to introduce you to. Their humongous necklace collection is seriously overwhelming, and they are all at an affordable price point. The company is based out of Germany, and they offer worldwide free shipping. Hope everyone has a lovely week!</div>

I attended a friend's beautiful, quintessential NYC wedding set at the Boat House in Central Park. To match the elegant, yet fun event, the dress code was black tie attire, typically meaning full length gowns for women. I have decided to scale back on purchasing pricey special occasion dresses because they tended to be only worn once due to the fact that I don't want to repeat wear too soon and by the time I would consider repeating wear, it would be several seasons old by that point. I've heard about Rent The Runway before, but never thought about trying it out until now. Overall, I was pleased with the service and definitely would consider using it again in the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Prior to the wedding, I was actually in California and I jetsetted back to east coast on a red eye flight to make it to the event. <a href="https://www.blacklane.com/" target="_blank">Blacklane</a> offered its black car service (which is available in over 150 cities in the US, Europe, and Asia), and I was honestly pleased with how seamless my experience was, which made my tired morning so much better immediately after stepping off the plane.</div>

Sleeveless trench coats have made a splash recently onto the scene and I find them a great way to play with layering during the warmer time of the year. Given the option of shopping at the mall vs shopping online, I will always choose the latter option. One of my favorite places to shop online is ASOS because of the wide variety of styles, huge selection, and easy free shipping with over $40 and free returns. <a href="http://bit.ly/1dFxWxu" target="_blank">This sleeveless trench</a> is a part of their <a href="http://us.asos.com/women/discover/denim/" target="_blank">Denim Hub</a>. Hope everyone has a wonderful start to your week!</div>

I adore the details of this skirt, with its asymmetrical cut, zipper detail, and contrasting colors. Hope everyone has a wonderful week! </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am going back to the basics with black and white and a dash of red. I am dressing down red pumps for a more casual look with boyfriend jeans and a loose fitting top. I adore this shirt from The Shopping Bag with its brickwork embossed texture detail, which is a little hard to appreciate in the photos. </span></div>

I'm always a fan of fit and flare dresses, and floral pattern is classic and perfectly fitting for this time of the year. I layered this <a href="http://bit.ly/1L5e7u7" target="_blank">Boohoo</a> strapless dress with a denim jacket for a more casual look, but I could see myself wearing the dress on its own to a bridal shower or a daytime summer wedding. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Strappy nude sandals are the one pair of heels that I wear the most during spring and summer time. In fact, I wore out my original pair so much (last seen <a href="http://www.stylecuebysuzieq.com/2014/12/cozy-sweater-flowy-skirt.html" target="_blank">here</a>), that I decided to update my go-to strappy heels with these currently trending <a href="http://bit.ly/1KPLUH9" target="_blank">Steve Madden</a> ones. </div>
