My Shoe Life

I know I know... I'm neglecting the blog again! I have several excuses, none of which you care about I'm sure, including the fact that I leant my camera out and have yet to get it back, several months later... but I am partially to blame since I was moving and couldn't use it anyway. Another excuse is that work has been insane and I had to kind of make up for my last couple collections. You see, getting a divorce and completely changing you life has this way of totally effing up your creative work I guess.

Anyhoo... I'm off to China again (AGAIN!!) but before I go, here's a little recap of my last few weeks in shoes...


I had to get the spiked Litas of course...

I love these. Classic Vivienne Westwood.

Love love LOVE these Etro shoes. Just the right amount of tribal.

Every girl needs a great pair of nude pumps. These are by Alejandro Ingelmo.

Off to a bebe meeting with my dad <3

A boot I designed for bebe. Turquoise satin, white "snake" embossed leather. Big badass metal chains.

These Giuseppe Zanotti wedges are so dreamy...

My new favorite Cece L'amour shoes. MEOW!

Some more Cece shoes...

Glittery pink perch heels!

As amazing as these look I'm sending them back. They are a fitting nightmare! :( They're huge in the back and too tight in the front. My little pinky toe is about to pop out!
They look cool though! (Jeffrey Campbell)

XOXO,

I've Got Wood...

If you follow my Twitter or new Tumblr, you already know I'm wearing my new Jeffery Campbell wedges. I love them. So cute and girly with a big chunky wedge to make them extra amazing! 

Wood bottoms are HUGE for Spring so make sure you grab a pair, whether its a high wooden wedge or a chunky wooden heel, there are so many to choose from. Here are some of my favorites....

 Giuseppe Zanotti

 D&G

 Casadei

 Givenchy

 YSL

Chl oe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony

Lady B

Gala Darling's recent post on Beyonce got me interested in checking out her videos.

Her newest (I think) video for her song featuring Lady Gaga, "Video Phone" is amaaaaaazing! You guys have to check it out. She looks stunning and rocks a ton of crazy sexy looks and equally sexy shoes!

These Giuseppe Zanotti boots are supah fierce! (Check out Luxirare rocking them here)

This Bettie Page look is probably my favorite. She looks so beautiful!

Hot hot hot...
Alongside my BFF, Lady Gaga. I still love the red Valentino shoes B is wearing but I NEED the yellow Louboutins my girl Gaga is wearing. Amazing.

I officially love Beyonce. She is so kind and humble- check out Gala's post and you'll see what I mean.

And watch this!!

Tricks and Treats

Ahhhh Halloween. My second favorite holiday (my first being Thanksgiving where I'm guiltlessly gluttonous)

I love dressing up and getting to be someone else for a night. Our friend has the best Halloween parties every year where our friends go all out and dress in amazing costumes. It's truly impressive and there's hardly a store-bought costume in sight. This year was no exception.

My two costumes this year were polar opposites. The first, my personal favorite, being a nerdy self conscious drummer from Aurora... better known as Garth Algar.

Benjamin was of course, the Wayne to my Garth

Yoda, our gracious host
Jesus himself... "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"

Red Queen

And the White Rabbit
Matt and Christie Walker as a hot dog and hot dog vender. So cute :)


Danny and Sandy

On to Halloween Night

YIPPEE!

Ben went as Chapulin... amazing

Gaga had to crush this bug...

Thank God for American Apparel for my last minute costume!

(shoes- Giuseppe Zanotti, outfit- American Apparel, chains- Giles & Bro)

What were you guys for Halloween!? Send me links to your pictures :)

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! ;)

The Polls Are Back!

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?
