My Great Find

Lookie what I found on sale! Yay! I've always loved these Stella McCartney espadrille wedges, but when I saw them on final sale at Intermix I had to get them! They are so feminine and flirty. Perfect Summer shoes.

While I was in LA I got this tattoo too! Do you guys like it!?! It's a "Holy Cupcake".

:)

...gotcha! I'm totally kidding. I doodled that on my leg while I was sitting in the back seat of my friend's car on our way to LA. Did you believe me? I do love cupcakes though.

Hot Child in the City

Dang it's hot today! Off to LA to find the last of the great shoe bargains!

Who says you can't wear suede boots in the summer?? I say boots of the ankle variety are just fine. Paired with a pair of ripped up cut-offs? No problem.

I love this necklace! I found it at Urban and it reminds me of the stuff that was going down the runway at Givenchy.

Excuse me while I mop up the drool...

Home Again!

I had to make a VERY last minute trip to China and just got back last night! As you know, China has blogger blocked, so I was unable to sign in, so thanks for being patient! :)

Ahhhhh it's good to be home and out of the heat and humidity of China! I got all my work done and I'm really glad to be outta there, especially since it hadn't even been a month since my last trip!

Last night Ben and I went to see Brüno and I left with my cheeks hurting and my stomach feeling not so good. Cheeks hurting from laughing so hard and stomach turning from all the full frontal male shit and inappropriate humor. I hoped that he would have more jokes to play on the fashion world, but was bummed to see that there were only a few. I loved how Borat poked fun at middle America and wish that Bruno did the same to knock some high and mighty fashionistas down a peg or two.

Ben's favorite moment was the anatomically correct pink knit outfit he wore... just see the movie and you'll know what I mean.

Anyway- I meant to blog about this before but was RUDELY interrupted by my job sending me away, and now I'm too late- but here it is anyway. Kitson had a whole window for Harajuku Lovers including (YAY) the footwear, which they do not carry. Weird, yes. But hey, it completed the look of the window display and got people asking about the shoes. :)

The mannequins were dressed as Love, Angel, Music, Baby, and of course, G. They are dressed in head to toe Harajuku Lovers and I think they look adorable. Good job to my dear friend Jolie for putting it all together! Yippee!

It's good to be home and back to blogging!

4th of July Getaway

Ben and I decided to get away for the weekend since our town gets a little out of hand for the 4th of July. So it was off to Palm Springs to stay at the beautiful Viceroy hotel. I went on a little mini shopping spree and bought most of these clothes at Nordstrom in their Brass Plum dept. Definitely one of my favorite places to shop for pretty cheap basics. 

(dress- BP, wedges- Chanel, tote- Goyard, glasses- Ray Ban)

(tank- JCrew, skirt- BP, shoes- Christian Louboutin, hat- Meilsa)

(skirt and tank- BP, shoes- Chanel, tote- Celine)

(onsie- vintage, shoes- Harajuku Lovers)

So I'm obviously obsessed with my new hat. I thought that it would be the perfect Palm Springs accessory! There's this awesome little hat store over at the Lab in Costa Mesa called Arth. They have some seriously great hats for guys and girls.

Anyway- just wanted to show you my poolside wardrobe lineup. The weather was beautiful if not a little too hot. The hotel was a perfect getaway and I recommend it to any of you who love to relax and have a great laid back vibe around you. We met some really cool people from LA and everyone was super friendly and sweet. We can't wait to go back!

New Harajuku Lovers Shoes!

The lovely ladies at heels.com have some tasty new treats for your feets!

They have a great selection of shoes and the cutest thing is their little videos! You can see how the shoe actually looks on your feet- like this! Great, right? Sometimes a shoe is cuter... or not so cute, once you see it on. I love this feature! Who needs to leave the house these days? ;)

Anyway- check that out and check out these new shoes available at heels.com

Better Late Than Never...

So I feel like a bit of a douche because I am SO late on this. I'm supposed to be your "insider" and I totally forgot to write about this! Shame on me.

Anyway, some of you may have heard that the company I work for, Titan Industries, is re-launching the Charles Jourdan brand. We launched the shoes this last show to a pretty good response, though honestly- not what we hoped for. There are some REALLY great shoes but overall it wasn't what the launch should have been. 

Luckily though, they've taken action already and hired a new designer! Now THAT my friends, is inside information ;)

The ads look great though, right!? I love them and think they did a great job! Jourdan was famous for their sexy racy ads and the one below, the Footwear News cover, is so 80's h-o-t!

These are 2 of my favorite shoes from the collection. They won't be available in stores until next year but luck me... I got my hands on um! Bwa-ha ha ha!!
