Happy Anniversary!



Two years ago, at about this time of day I married my best friend. I got my dream wedding, but more importantly, my dream husband. I am so lucky to have met Ben. These two years have been so much fun and I can't wait for 88 more!


Here's our wedding in Orange Coast Weddings Magazine's premier issue. :)

I love you Benjamin!! Thank you for the best two years of my life! Every day I wake up next to you is better than the last... You are my angel baby.

The meteor shower tonight is no coincidence... it's thousands of stars falling from the sky- jealous of your glowing light.


Hearts on My Toes

I waited WAY too long to buy these... but I bought them none the less. I only have about a month left to wear them, but they are fun and I love them.

My dad said they are the ugliest shoes ever! He is very blunt when it comes to shoes I guess. I however, think they are adorable and am glad I got them, however late I may have been. I got them at Nordstrom for less than I found them online too :)

I know my dad hates them... what do YOU think??

Bebe Launch Party

Hello friends! Sorry for the lack of posts- I was in NY for the show and then had a beautiful sunny weekend at home. :)

Images from our bebe launch party have been uploaded to WireImage! Here are some of them.

It was really fun and we had a good turn out. The catering company we hired was AMAZING. All the food was delicious and even better- the all male wait staff were models or something because these boys were HOT! Hot boys always make for a good time. ;)

Oh- and did you notice my beautiful new peep toe boots? My one and only purchase in NY this trip. They are Miu Miu and I love them! I'll take better pictures later cause they are super cute.

Twitter was down that night but I was trying to invite all my readers in NY to come. Stupid internet!

Shopping Spree!



I'm in New York right now for the shoe show- which is going well by the way :)
But before I left, I took my little sister Katie on a little shopping spree.

We killed it...

For my hard work and selfless shopping that day I decided to treat myself. I also decided to go against popular vote and NOT get the studded Louboutins (unless of course, they go on sale)
So here they are- my newest purchase... the Ron Ron in Barbie Pink.

(hallelujah trumpets descend)

Yippee! Do you like?? I LOVE them. They may be one of my favorite shoes ever. They are not so high that I can't wear them often and the color is truly amazing and even better in person. I love that they are a simple, classic silhouette and that the color is the thing that makes them pop.
I wore them out of the store and for the rest of our shopping extravaganza and got lots of elevator eyes and nice compliments. That always makes me feel like I spent my money wisely. Yes- I'm that shallow.

Riveria Magazine!

Thank you so much to Rivera for this! How flattering to be called a "power couple"!! I had just decided last month or so that I wanted to bringing back the phrase "power _____"

Like Power suit. Power lift. Power... couple! ;)

I also love that they gave Ben my maiden name. Power Celine!

Good News for bebe Fans!


So I can finally tell you the news, since it's officially public:

July 27 (Reuters) - Mall-based women's apparel retailer Bebe Stores Inc (BEBE.O) said it entered into a five-year licensing agreement with Titan Industries Inc to design, manufacture and distribute non-casual footwear for women.

The Brisbane, California-based retailer said the new bebe shoe collection will be sold in bebe stores in the United States and Canada as well as select specialty and department stores worldwide from early spring 2010.

The shoes will be priced in a range from $89 to $169 at retail stores, the company said in a statement.

Titan was created in 1998 for the sole purpose of licensing shoes under the bebe brand, Titan's Chief Executive Joe Ouaknine said.


Yaaaaaa buddies! Bebe is going to back in Department stores! We are very excited at Titan to be back "in bed" with the brand that WE started! Hooray! Something you wont hear anywhere else? The designer is the same designer as our LAMB shoes! Exciting, no??

Running Around

Lots of errands today! I just stole these shoes from our editorial closet at the office yesterday- New Harajuku Lovers mary janes! I don't think they're out yet but I'll let you know when they are. :)



Anyway- if you hadn't noticed a trend with my wardrobe lately, take a peek.

Am I becoming BORING and PREDICTABLE? Oh no! Look- I'm wearing like, the same outfit everyday? Weird. I'm obsessed with these skirts though. Thank you Brass Plum. Skirts and Summer. It just makes sense.


SIDE NOTE! These Harajuku Lovers flats are on sale at Heels.com! I love them and might actually BUY them because I never got them :( booo. They were featured in Teen Vogue and a bunch of other mags this season. YAY!
