A Year Already??

Happy Anniversary to my friends at the Louboutin Boutique at South Coast Plaza!! They opened a year ago today and I was luck enough to share a champagne toast with them today :) Amita, Patrick, Regan, Monica, Jordan and Liam... you guys are the best!!! I'm so glad to have known you for a year already. Time does fly when you're having fun.

If you go in this weekend to wish them a happy anniversary and mention me- The Shoe Girl, you'll get a complimentary glass of bubbly! How great is that? Go ahead, don't be shy... everyone there is great and will treat you like a friend. Not to mention the GORGEOUS shoes!

Congratulations you guys. Thank you for keeping my feet looking fabulous and for all the fun we have together. I love ALL you guys!

Home Sweet Home!

OMG you guys!! I missed home SO much! And the blog... I really missed the blog. :)

So, OK. I amidst my 10 working days in China was ONE fun day of shopping in Hong Kong! Real fun. Jessie (life long friend, fellow shoe designer) and I went shopping and I scored some great stuff.

Loving this NARS lip pencil in Dragon Girl. I've been wearing it every day and I really love the saturated matte red color- the blueness in the red makes my teeth look extra white and sparkly! Bonus.

And while I'm on this red kick- check out this awesome ring!! Ahhhh! It's so different, I adore it. It's red and gold coral holding a piece of crystal in the shape of coral. Love love love.

I found it at OnPedder but I don't know who makes it.

And finally... the piece I DIE DIE DIEEEEE for...............

No words. I effing love it. I can't wait to take better pics of it!!

I know, I know. No shoes!?!? Well, I am saving those for later ;) I am so exhausted and need a little nap. I'll be back tomorrow! I missed you all and hope you forgive me for my lack of posts. haha

XOXOXOX

Off to China...

It's time to go to China again... :(

Hopefully they've gotten over their whole blocking Blogger thing. If not, I'll try to figure something out. Maybe I'll send posts through email to my hubbs or my sister and have them copy/paste. Unless any of you have any tips? :) That would be great...

I can't go a whole week without posting!!

Talk to you all soon!

Bolo'd Over

I need to be sketching today but I'm having the WORST case of creative block of my life! I keep sitting down with my sketch pad... but nothing.

So where do I go when I want to be inspired?? Well, I go shopping of course!

First stop was a visit to my friends at the Louboutin boutique to look around and to drop off my damaged goods (Hi Amita! Hi Monica! Hey Jourdan!) and then off to see Betty at YSL.

Yes. I'm seriously wearing a bolo tie... I'm pretty into it.

YSL has AMAZING Fall shoes this year. Amazing. I think I was in there for an hour trying on all the new shoes. You guys should go check them out ASAP. We're talking serious footwear here.

OMG! And they have these numbered, limited addition Kate Moss Trib Too pumps! They're this spacey matte silver color and they are reeeeeally cool. Check those out too. Maybe I'll sneak in there and see if I can get a picture. :)

Anyway, I wore these Miu Miu boots today. They were in my bebe launch post but you couldn't see them well. I love them and as simple as they are, I get tons of comments on them. They're even pretty comfortable considering how high they are!

SIDE NOTE:

Why does my hair look so shiny and beautiful you ask? Well... my darling sweetie pants (and fake twin) Christie Walker did this awesome Brazilian keratin treatment on my hair and it worked AMAZINGLY!!! It's a de-frizzing treatment thats totally safe for all hair types. Anyway check her out if you're local.

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!!

Damn You Crocs.

I hate to have such a negative Friday so this wont be my last post of the day, but DAMN YOU CROCS! You've officially crossed the line. And damn you too, Hello Kitty. I thought you had higher standards.

Tisk tisk. I am so ashamed.

Dear iPhone,

Please stop taunting me with your ads, bragging about your do-it-all apps. We get it. You've thought of everything we could have ever dreamt of wanting from a phone. You are like a crazy robot from the future that can read minds and bake cookies (those apps will be available shortly) Your camera takes better pictures than my digital camera does. Your internet is faster than my home computer.

But guess what- you SUCK when it comes to texting, so until you get that shit figured out... I want nothing to do with you! I'll stick with my blackberry, TYVM.

Who texts with one finger?? Pshhhh.

Wine Night + Girl Friends =

A few of my friends and I went out to celebrate our friend Julie's birthday. Just some good Italian food and friends, right? Well, no. It was Wednesday Wine night at the restaurant which meant no corking fee on any bottles you bring in. Woops.

When I called Ben for a ride home, craziness ensued. I decided I wanted to hang out in the bathtub. Hey- it made sense at the time... and the dogs agreed! I was really into how my shoes matched our tile.

WHY are my photos so grainy??
