Click click, bang bang!

So a few people have written me to ask my opinion on these Chanel gun-heel shoes (recently seen on Madonna). 

My opinion is that Karl Lagerfeld took the term "I'd KILL for those heels" a little too literally. 

No, I'm totally kidding.

Seriously though, We actually had a designer at Titan a few years ago named Dara Young who made a gun-heeled shoe that was amazing. She totally did it first and I remember people thinking it was nuts. I also remember that there was a cost issue with the shoe, but if your name is Chanel, I suppose cost isn't an issue. 

Anyway, I think its great. I love statement shoes and these are pretty hot. I back um.

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.

Not That Any of You Would, But...

DON'T. Just don't. These shoe handbags are not cute. Not even a little. Not even in a novelty kind of way. Don't.

And if you do, don't come back here ever again.

hahaha

I'm Going Bundy...

So I was supposed to be in China for halloween, but my trip was pushed back a week (yay!) so I've decided on a Halloween costume. None other than Mrs. Peggy Bundy of Married With Children. I love her garish tackiness! Plus... married to a shoe salesman? Perfect.

I just want to know if any of you fashionable people know where I can get some ANTI fashion. So if any of you have any good suggestions, please let me know. I want to look as authentic as possible! I love her shiny high waist cigarette pants/leggings but I'm having trouble finding some. 

Anyway- please give me some tips if you have them! :)

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

Modista.com

Ok you guys... wanna see something seriously amazing? Check out Modista.com!

Friends Arlo Faria and AJ Shankar started this website after winning first place in the 2008 UC Berkeley Business Plan Competition and I think it's genius! 

Faria says they started this site to help their girlfriends find cheaper look-alikes of designer brands. Isn't that what we ALL want!? You can browse shoes according to their visual similarity, meaning you can look by color, shape, style... the sky is the limit! 

I can't exactly figure out how they do it. I think they have magic shoe fairies working in your computer or something- it's seriously mind blowing how quickly and easily all the shoes are grouped and lined up.

Anyway, check this out. I back it and think in time can get be even better- adding higher end designers, etc. I look forward to seeing this new site grow.
