Betsey in Betsey and Balmain... OH MY!

Betsey Johnson killing it at the CFDA awards in Balmain heels.

The meeting in NY went really well!! I have one day to rest and then it's off to China to make shoes. I promise a real post before I go but I just wanted to remind you how CUTE Betsey is and how very lucky I am to be working with her as her shoe designer!!!! 

And a special apology to my dear darling miss Wendy B 'cause I told her I wouldn't mention the CFDAs and she even thanked me for it. Go check out her amazing jewelry and buy yourself something nice! ;)

Go Lakers!

To be honest I couldn't give a shit about sports in general, but I have enough Laker crazy friends (and I mean CRAZY) to respect the Lakeshow. 

So this is how I do team spirit. Purple and gold head to toe. And what do you know? They took home the championship. Go Lakers! Maybe it was the luck of the YSL's? Ha ha.

Another bad shoe choice by the way. We went to one of Ben's friend's houses, filled with BBQ eating boys. Scary, right? Well, while walking through the kitchen some bacon grease popped and splattered on.... yes, my suede shoe. 

UGH.

Luckily it was a teeny splat I guess.

Thrashers

Feeling inspired by my giveaway post, I decided to bust out my similar looking JBrand Thrasher jeans for a quick trip to LA. to make some returns. I paired them of course with the lovely asymmetrical Jil Sanders. 

I probably should have thought a little harder about that choice. As amazing as the shoes are, they are not the best "walking shoes". They're slightly awkward and require intense concentration, which of course meant I had to spit out my gum.

ANYWAY- I still love them and will just chalk it up to a lesson learned. Walking shoes do not equal 6 inch heels. Der. I'll just save them for outings which require less movement and more sitting.

Just an FYI- see over there ---------------------->

I'm bringing back the weekly polls in response to reader requests :)

Don't forget to vote!

This week the shoe is a Giuseppe Zanotti shoe that Betsey Johnson is in love with. In our last meeting she mentioned it about 25x! I know she loves it but what do YOU think?

Kim Kardashian's Dazzling Idea

So I just saw this new website that Kim Kardashian and her mom Kris Kooked up. Oops, did I just do a lame alliteration thing? I think so.

Anyway, they have this site called ShoeDazzle where you pay a monthly fee of $39 for a "personal shoe stylist" to match you up with your perfect pair- a choice of 5 to be exact- after you complete a fashion survey. Shipping and return shipping is free. They ship you a new pair every month and there is no obligation to buy.

It's a cute idea, though I would probably have skipped the whole "we pick the shoes that fit your style" thing and just have a huge selection of $39 shoes. Then again, I suppose you can find that on Zappos, and having a "shoe stylist" does seem pretty glamorous and may make the fact that you're buying cheaper shoes seem like a great deal. To be able to get a package from your personal shoe stylist every month would be a great gift for someone who you know that may be clueless as to what a cute shoe looks like! 

Don't get me wrong- I have nothing against great deals, but if you think about what a $39 shoe must look like... well, it's not always pretty. You can't get leather for that price, that's for sure. But that's great for vegans who don't want to fork over nearly a thousand dollars a pair for Stella McCartney's versions! The pair I saw Kim wearing on the Chelsea Lately show looked great, so hopefully they look good in person as well.

That's their sample selection (click to enlarge) which looks decent enough. I'd love to see them in person. Maybe I'll join to test it out and I'll let you all know. I think this is a great way for people to get more style with less cash. Plus, having someone pick shoes for you is a cool way to try new things!

What do you all think?? Kute or Krappy? 

There I go again...
