One way you can definitely "stay true to the vixen in you" is investing in sexy footwear, obviously. I do it almost every week!

Now what I'm about to say next might land me a side-eye or two but I have to say it anyway. You know, get it off my chest. For weeks, I've been searching for hoisery similar to the pantyhose I've seen Beyonce wearing at the the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Her legs looked stunning in the tradition of Tina Turner and Diahann Carroll. Today, I finally found the perfect product: Silk Reflections Transparent Sheer Hoisery from Hanes. What made the experience sweeter was when I saved $3 at checkout. The retail price was $10, yet the PX were selling them for $7.50. Take 20% off that price and your fellow vixen got them for $4.50.

Grustling in my peep-toe shoes!
