Crimson Red Shoes: Color of the Month

Happy Fourth of July everyone, did you enjoy the brief summer holiday? Well, I was out of the country working, so I didn’t enjoy it as much as most of you probably did. Where did you spend the Holiday? I guess most of you went to the beach, stroll at the park or take a very, very long nap.

Anyway, its Monday again, a new week has begun and all of us will definitely face all the challenges this week has to offer. Honestly, I’m already thinking about the weekend, I want to take a really long nap, perhaps a nice weekend rest sipping some vodka, my foot hurts with this silly wedge boots I am wearing all day, sometimes the whole night, my clients are so hard headed.

Aw! Ranting through this pages (smiling really wide); let’s just go back to our original topic. So I will be out of the country the whole month of July. And since I am miles away waiting for the designated time of every appointment in my calendar. I would sit at a coffee shop, take some sips on my latte and a big bite on my favorite blue berry muffins. As the hands of time ticked slowly, I can’t help but notice the lovely shoes the ladies around me, passing by, on the streets-are wearing, and since it is the month of July where Ruby is the main birthstone, why not feature something on the same color, crimson red.

I notice that most ladies here would either wear something flat, a sandals or a doll shoes but most of them opted for a wedge boots, perhaps because of the weather, its rainy here if you wanted to know, there is even a typhoon if I am not mistaken, its hard to walk wearing heels during the rainy season so most of the ladies are either wearing a flat form heels, slippers or as I mentioned wedge boots.

Some caught my attention, too bad I didn't bring my camera, and if I did, its prohibited to take photos in certain areas, and as of the moment as I am writing this post, I am inside a cafe in a hotel that doesn't allow taking pictures of people, and arguing that I only took the photo of the shoes is not a better option so I just browse the net and look for something close but I ended up taking picture of the shoes I want for myself.

Anyway this post is just so I can express my excitement for this month, as stated on the earlier paragraphs, today's July, the birthstone is Ruby which is red, and I wanted to feature something to commemorate not only this month but also the color of ruby.

I hope you like this post, as for me, I think my clients will arrive in a minute or two. Updating you later. Oh check out my previous post Ruby and July.

Ruby and July

It’s already the month of July, my, my how time flies so fast, I still remember my first post on this blog, it’s also about the birthstone for the month of January. At that time I still don’t know what to write, to share to my readers, I’m basically blind on what to post. Nevertheless, as time passed by, slowly I started to realize what I wanted to share, and then a definite plan is established, I am a girl, I love fashion jewelry, gossip, fashion trends, shoes, etc.

Anyway, going back to the subject, since its July wouldn’t it be nice to post something that is related to this month? The holidays are over, reality strikes back, we need to work our ass off in a fashionably nice way. Consequently, since it’s the month of July why not wear the birthstone Ruby to compliment this month?

So you are not born on the month of July? Does this mean you can’t wear the Ruby birthstone? Of course not, Ruby represents deep passion, integrity, a promise of power and success that most of us in the corporate world, no make that all of us striving for success be it in love or career must wear this fashion jewelry.

Speaking of fashion jewelry, I’m sure most of you are already thinking, “This girl is giving us a problem, does she know how much a Ruby costs?” Well, ladies calm down, there so many shops giving “Fourth of July Sale” pre and post holiday sale. Another option is online fashion jewelry shops. Surely, with these resources it wouldn’t be hard to find a piece that you would like and most importantly, would suit your budget.
