Pleasantly Peasant-y

Off to my Harajuku Lovers meeting today...

I was told that I looked like a hippie, a pilgrim, and a slutty grandma today. Whatever, I liked it.

Love these Louboutin espadrille bottom wedge boots. So comfy and versatile. These will take me all the way through Spring. They're a great slouchy canvas and I'm wearing them here with my Betsey Johnson OTK socks.

Slutty G-ma Hippie Pilgrim dance!!!

A little Insider's Secret...

So have you guys checked out Bakers Shoes lately? Well, let me just tell you... they have some GOOD knock offs. Especially L.A.M.B. knockoffs. 

My "insider's secret"? Well, I hear they are made in the same factories (sometimes) as the original!! The quality of leather of course isn't always the same, but I think that they could be a cool alternative for those of us on a budget? ;)

Check it out!

Very Gucci, no? (and on sale!!)

Very LAMB!

Another LAMB inspired shoe..

A TOTAL LAMB knockoff!! (check out the original)


Crazy, right? 

Hmmm.... What to Wear?

I bought these Pradas last year after being bombarded by them in every editorial spread out there. The problem was that in the editorials, they were SUPER high (as you can see)... in reality- not so much. So I've worn them a total of once. I wanted to give them some love today.

...But, being not only a girl, but a Gemini girl- I changed my mind.

These Betsey Johnson Boots are some of my faves. They're probably about 3 years old and I love them! The heel tap on the left one is worn down so much that it makes annoying click clacking when I walk but I'm too lazy to get them fixed.

A MUCH Better Alternative to Uggs...

Ok, so yesterday I found these cute little pull-on boots at Brass Plum (Nordstrom) and when I slipped them on this morning I thought... what a great alternative to Uggs for those who just can't let go.

Hear me out. If you love Uggs it can't be for the looks, right? They're heinous.

So maybe you like the ease of a soft boot that you can just slip on and go? Well, these have the same function while being a lot cuter. 

Maybe you like the price? How much are Uggs? Like $150? That's pretty good for a pair of boots 

right? Well, these are only $79.95

Maybe it's the wear-with-everything tan color it comes in? Well these come in that same color! Look at that!

Anyway, my point is that I do understand comfort but let's not completely forget style, OK ladies? I mean, these are definitely not the cutest boots I own, but they're comfy and easy to wear and go. :)

Don't forget kiddies: Uggs rhymes with FUGGS for a reason.

WTF Do You Wear to Gwen's Party?

Well, I wore this. I figured it was cute, without looking like I tried too hard. Plus I had to make sure that the shoes, or boots in this case, were the statement of the outfit. They're L.A.M.B. and I L-O-V-E them.

I got a lot of compliments of the boots including Shirley Manson telling me she loved them, and Gwen herself telling me she almost wore them too. Ya, I was pretty stoaked.

Anyway- a few of you have asked for pics of me in my shoes so here you go. I feel like a weirdo posting pics of myself, but I covered my face with my hair, so it's not so bad. Hey, I'm no Rumi but I hope you like.

L-O-V-E these boots!

How perfect are these flat buckle boots!? They're by Jinny Kim, and at $433 they're at least semi-affordabe! 

It looks like there's a hidden wedge in there but the description doesn't mention it. I love any extra height on a shoe so hopefully I'm right.

I think this is a great way to do an over the knee boot without looking at all trashy. These look super comfy and easy to wear over and over. I'm seriously debating on getting them, even though I just got those Fry boots... Hmmm

80's Chic

Am I crazy? I totally love these boots!! They seem so 80's to me, and I love them. I think these would look so cute with black skinny jeans or leggings. Well, either that or a one-piece, high cut, white Budweiser baithing suit? You know, with those weird "nude" iridescent workout tights that they still wear at Hooters? Ok, now my cough medicine is taking over my brain.

Totally radical! 

I love the bright red and the angled heel too. Let's just say I love everything about these, k? I'm not usually a pointy toe fan, but these are more of an almond toe, so I can forgive it.

Nothing from Maison Martin Margiela is ever cheap, and these boots are no exception. You can find them at Brown's for £655 (about $1200 US)

PS- Is it just me or is EVERYONE sick right now?? I've got it pretty bad. :(

New Boots!

Looky looky! I just picked up these motorcycle boots by Frye at Bloomies, and I love them. They're a lot more masculine than what I usually wear but they look great with a pair of skinny jeans and a loose fitting american apparel v-neck. They're super comfy too, just slide them on and go. 

The best thing is that Frye is known for their boot making and for their boots lasting forever. So even at $375 (which I think is a GREAT price for a boot) its a total steal. 

They're very Kate Moss-ish don't you think?
