The BIg Reveal!

Ok kiddies... here you go! Look what I found!!!


Thats right!!! After almost giving up, I found them! Can you believe it!? And for 50% off the sale price! I was hysterical at Neimans. Seriously, I think I embarrassed my friend. 


I'm a VERY happy girl!

Sickly Sweet


What do you guys think about these crazy ass Dolce and Gabanna shoes?? Pretty nuts, right? I'm feeling like I'm over sequined footwear, and judging by the sales racks- so are most of you. But I feel like these are so nutso koo koo bonkers that they deserve to be in their own category. To lump them in with "normal" sequined footwear wouldn't really be fair. These babies transcend borders or some shit.

I do however like the messiness of these sequins. That makes them sort of different and at the same time validates my trend forecasting skills. (I made a few JLO shoes with these same kind of messy sequins)


Now, you're probably thinking that these would be excruciating to walk in due to lack of arch support, but I owned a pair of shoes sort of like this (in 1999 no less) and though I looked like an underage stripper- I walked around just fine.  


The ball of your foot and heel take all the pressure so you don't really notice the missing arch.

Then this girl here is just a Dorothy slipper in a platform with a weird looking bottom thingy that I think is totally unnecessary and kinda ruins the shoe/makes the shoe depending on how you choose to feel about it.

What do you think? Likey or No likey? And don't worry- I will reveal my new purchace as soon as I get off my ass and get dressed. I know you're all on the edge of your seats waiting, right? hahaha

Adam Lambert for the win!

A Little Spontaneous Shopping Trip

I was sitting on my Rock of Love rerun watching ass when my friend SLASH neighbor Gigi called and said the magic words: "Wanna go to the mall?"

If you know me you know my answer. I ran to my closet and threw on an outfit to go with my new Loubs that I've been dying to wear since I got them. I didn't really need the sweater since it was like 85 degrees out!! WTF?

So off we went to Fashion Island and South Coast Plaza. Guess what I found... I'll give you a clue. Shoes. ;)




check out the cute metallic perforated leather detail. SO cute! Shout out to ma girl Amita Singh at Christian Louboutin @ South Coast! We had a nice fashion gushing session today. haha- so fun.
You guys seriously if you haven't been in yet you have to go! It's such a beautiful store and I have yet to find a salesperson that I don't love there!

(leggings- American Apparel, tank- BP, sweater- Eight Sixty, shoes- Christian Louboutin)



So anyway- I got some really exciting shoes that I can't wait to show you!!

TO BE CONTINUED....

Rock the Vote!

No, I'm not late on the presidential elections... I'm talking about something much more important to the state of our nation! The Best Fashion Blog Award!!

No, I'm not on the ballot (yet- muahaha!) but Go HERE and vote for my friend Wendy Brandes please. (by friend I mean we hang out on the weekends and go shopping and stay on the phone gossiping late at night... in my head)

HAHA! But seriously- check out her blog and you'll see. She's got my brand of sass kids, and I love it.

Beauty is Pain...




I LOVE these Balenciaga boots. LOVE. My husband on the other hand, hates them. He says they're a little too "urban" for my style. I think he's confusing them with the Manolo version Jennifer Lopez wore back in her Jenny from the block days? 

True, I may not love them as much if they weren't Balenciaga (hey- at least I'm being honest. Shallow, but honest.) but they are and I do. Anyway, I got them over a year ago and have worn them a total of 3 times. I hate to make them feel unappreciated.

They are however, super uncomfortable. They are probably a full size too small because they pinch my toes and are threatening to cut off my ankles via my achilles tendon. Ya.

I'm considering it my punishment for missing out on those Stella's. *frickin idiot!*

On a side note- I do apologize for the messy condition our house is in. If I were you I'd be annoyed. Those boxes need to be put in storage asap!

Annoyed

You know when you kind of like something, but you don't buy it because you're like... "well- I don't LOVE it so do I really NEED it?" and then when you decide you do in fact love it, it's too late?

Well guess what- that's what just happened and I'm very annoyed with myself.

These Stella McCartney wedges, though old news, are amazing and I should have realized that I loved them much sooner. Now, it's too late. I looked all over the internet for them to no avail. Boo hoo hoo. Well, I did find them at barneys.com, but only in a size 10, as you can see.






Which, in my opinion, is worse than finding it in my size. And you know what really sucks... I totally tried them on in Hong Kong- ON SALE- and I still was unsure. When and WHY did I decide to love them? "Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat." 

I will now proceed to stomp around the house pouting and lashing out at inanimate objects all day.

If you or someone you know wants to sell their 8.5 s... you know where to find me.
