Secretly Slutty!

I call this Marc by Marc Jacobs top my secretly slutty top. From the front you see me and you say to your self... "Wow, what a nice wholesome girl. I'll bet she has strong moral character and great values!"

Then, you pass me and turn to look at my seemingly modest derriere when WHAM!

Slut.

The girl you thought was just a sweet fully clothed member of society is a harlot. A back skin showing degenerate. (you may need to click the image to get the full effect)

Ok not really. Isn't it cute!? I love little surprises like that! And best of all- I got it on sale at the Marc store in Hong Kong! YAY!

Here's a little dance for you....

1 2 3... kick!

And yes- I'm wearing flats which technically I do not condone, but I secretly love these a lot.

Hey... at least they're not crocs?

Sketching All Day...

I've been sketching all dang day and will continue to do so tomorrow and I'm pretty burned out.

Sometimes I like to sketch things that I know won't get made, like this spiky boot with metal toe. It's nice to kind of doodle mindlessly to keep from wanting to shoot myself.

Anway- I rarely post sketches so I thought I would.

When I'm designing shoes I pull inspiration from shoes I like. For this boot, I thought of these types of shoes and pulled elements from them.

... Just an example of how it works for me in case you wondered. I think it's always interesting to see people's process.
I love when I'm out shopping vintage stores and then months later I see a shoe "inspired" by a shoe I liked in the store, only on a runway with another designer's name on them. You may be surprised at how often it happens. ;)

Now back to the drawing board...

Bunnies and Kitties and Unicorns!

While online shopping for my Fifi Lapin top at Forever 21, I came upon this sweet little satin dress. I can't believe the quality of it for a mere $29.00!! It has this great vintage silhouette and adorable print. I love it.

Ahhh so cute! I love cutsie little animals!

Oh, and hello! Have you met my friends Maggie? Officially the coolest shoes on the block. Plus if someone gets out of hand I can REALLY hurt them with these toes! (including myself by the way) They are definitely NOT comfortable, which really bums me out... but they're pretty enough to save for non walking special occasions. ;)

How dumb is that? Haha.

By the way... do you guys like the new layout???

Fifi Lapin at F21!

I was so excited when my friend Jen told me about these adorable Fifi Lapin tops at Forever 21, I had to have one!

I also busted out these Betsey Johnson oxford pumps. Oldies but goodies! I can't believe I almost forgot about these!

Fifi makes a girl want to spin...

Look at my crotch Stella!? Haha.

I'm going to make an updated version of these in my upcoming Betsey line. Girls always love a good oxford pump!

NYC for FREE??

Me and Wendy B

So I was in NY last week for a Betsey Johnson meeting and while I was there I had the pleasure of taking the beautiful and talented Wendy Brandes on a date. ;)

Well... she was my date to the FFANY and QVC Shoes on Sale event anyway.

My camera was dead and Wendy's was halfway there so we only got ONE picture together in which I look like an over excited weirdo... which I kind of am I suppose.

If you guys think she's cute and sassy on her blog, you should meet her. So much fun and impossibly gorgeous!

Wendy wore this Jean-Charles de Castelbajac motorcycle-zipper dress and vintage motorcycle jacket...

I wore this amazing D&G dress (thanks for the dress loan Amita!!) and my favorite new YSLs, plus the chains I had been wearing all day and my leather jacket.

I laughed when I met Wendy at the bar and we both had our bad ass jackets on. I should have known we were in for a good night. ;)

At the shoe event we rocked out to a loungy version of Gold Digger, ate semi crappy hors d'oeuvres and made fun of bad footwear and old shoe dogs (a term given to men who have worked in the shoe biz for years)

Wendy met my dad and a few other dudes from Titan- all of whom made sure to let me know how pretty they thought my friend was.

Then it was off to Matsuri for some sushi and gossip. We ordered WAY too much... as the Germans say, our eyes were bigger than our stomaches. Hahaha

Good times. I'm very excited for our next adventure together.

And in case you were wondering- I am wearing my bra on my head as I write this post. It's just been one of those weeks so far. Don't believe me? I'll prove it-

xoxo

My Happiest Grey

So I'm pissed 'cause I can't find my tripod anywhere!! So bare with me- these photobooth shots will have to do for now.

I just sold my soul for my very first pair of Christian Louboutin boots. They were WAY too expensive but I just had to have them... I LOVE them! Like, I might have to sleep in them so I don't have to take them off.

I've been wearing them all day even though it's too hot and my feel are burning from how high they are. Still, they're the best boots and I love them.
