Delicious Spring Footwear

I've been browsing through some of Spring's most amazing shoes and there is a definite theme here. Candy colors are HUGE and I couldn't be happier. So girly and pretty and downright delicious!

Yummy.

Here are some of my favorites...

OBSESSED!!!! Obsessed with these minty green suede pumps. They're ridiculously high and super sexy and I need them in my life...

23 April 11

We went to my dad's place for Easter dinner, where we ate two kinds of meat and two kinds of cake and I spilled beer all over myself. We had to eat early because Dad had to be at work at eight, and I must say it was a nice change to be eating in the warm dining room with sunlight spilling onto the table (as opposed to Thanksgiving, when it was dark and dreary when we got there at 4:30, let alone when we sat down to eat).
Dad gave Jeff and me a bottle of nice tequila and asked us if we could take Ken and Trav home, so we had a short visit there with Mom and Jimm and Alice as well. Mom loaned me some old photo albums so I could scan a few things, some of which can be viewed here, if you're interested in seeing me as a baby and/or my parents' 80s fashion.

Alice came over and we ate homemade mac & cheese and watched the following 90s movies: Clueless, Now and Then, and The Craft.

Outside my kitchen window. Now, if only the weather would maintain a spring-like feeling for more than a few minutes.

I think I probably took the exact same picture around this time last year.

Pierre Hardy Wedges

I'm more than slightly obsessed with Pierre Hardy's wedge offerings this Spring/Summer. 

 These are SO cool! I of course love the pink and orange striped ones too. So girly and flirty! They remind me of old fashion candy. Yummy!

I think a big reason that I love them so much is the extreme height on these babies. That's how you make wedges sexy...

Spring? Is That You?

The California sun seems to think it's time for Spring. It's so bright and sunny out, yet not warm enough for shorts, skirts, and shoes like these...

(Shoes I designed for Betsey Johnson)

Unfortunately these ones were never made for the masses due to the buy-out :( Lame, I know.

Not to worry! We'll soon have shoes like this in my new and still yet to be named line! Thank you guys for all your suggestions BTW. You're awesome. I'll let you know what we're going with as soon as we clear it with the lawyers.

Stella LOVES shoes, like her mama.

Spring Fever!

Spring is coming I can feel it! And thanks to a few of my favorite runway items... I can see it too!

I am so happy and lucky to have my two favorite Spring runway shoes (posts comingsoon!!) and one of my favorite Spring accessories. This pink collar by Miu Miu is so dang cute I just had to! I can't afford a whole top form Miu Miu so I figured if I at least got the collar it would bring some Miu Miu runway to every outfit!! Add a cotton candy lollipop and a matching pink hair clip in and I've officially got Spring fever!

(collar- Miu Miu, sweater and skirt- BP, socks- Betsey Johnson, shoes- Harajuku Lovers)

Nom nom nom...

Dreaming of Spring

It's good to be back!! I've missed you all and my poor neglected blog. I'm recovered from my jet lag finally but with this crappy weather and bad lighting I haven't been able to wear much but my Harajuku Lovers rain boots the past few days.

For those of you who don't live in California, let me tell you a little something about Californians... we melt in the rain.

Ok, not really but if you spent a rare rainy day here you'd think we did. People freak out when it rains to the point of hilarity. All our local news channels are franticly reporting rain storms, flooding and tornado watches. Seriously.

So in the spirit of hating the rain, I'm dreaming of Spring!

Here's what I'm looking forward to in warmer months....

This Victor and Rolf shoe just sums up Spring for me. Frills, bows and shades of pink. Yes please!

Ruffles and bows everywhere! I love all this girly-ness!

I'm also loving everything Miu Miu for spring. There's a dress in there right now that I swear I'd kill for. Unfortunately it's about 2 grand and I'm not at that point in my life yet. ;)

I have to choose between expensive shoes or nice clothes. I can't afford both.

Guess what I pick. Hint: ShoeGirl

I can't find a picture of the dress but it's a pouffy little party dress in this beautiful brocade fabric

I can't wait for Spring!

Welcome Back Spring! I Missed You!

Ah, glorious Southern California sun, how I love you.

Today is so beautiful I had to wear something to celebrate! ;)

I picked up this little jumper whatever you call it thingy at- you guessed it- Forever 21. It's becoming my favorite place to shop, especially with our household budget squeeze. 

"Budget" is absolutely my LEAST favorite word. Yuck.

I'm thinking of doing a little mini DIY and switching out the buttons for something cuter. Like maybe some bubbly red heart buttons or some nautical looking buttons or something. 

Anyway. Here's my outfit for today. I wore these new Dolce Vita sandals for the first time. They're super comfy and a little sassy. Though I am now in my new black bikini and will be laying out until the sun goes down. You don't get to see that though. Ben would get super jealz.

I love this Marc Jacobs hair bauble. It reminds me of being young and it such a cute little accent without being too obnoxious. 

Newbie Loubies...

Ahhhh Louboutin boutique at South Coast Plaza. I love you.

Thanks to Patrick who sent me a ton of pics from their new shipments! These are my faves... 

I LOVE this. It reminds me of ice cream. Sexy ice cream. hahaha I don't think I have any blue shoes, nor did I think I'd ever want a pair (navy does not count as blue IMO) but these are so tarty and cute!

And these are just soooo perfect! So Summery and sassy, right?

And nobody does a sexy nude patent shoe like Mr. Louboutin. I love how low cut these are- what a sexy top line!! And the amount of toe cleavage should be illegal.

So go in there and check these out in person- I know I will :)
