One Last Flat Post (For a While)

HELLO!! I've been in Mexico with my hunny bunny celebrating our anniversary so sorry for the silence. I'm back and excited for my spine shoes that are coming in any day now. They got stuck in customs but will hopefully be here Saturday. Fingers crossed!! I have the Emmys Saturday too so I'd like to have the option to wear them just in case I feel like being ultra fierce and perhaps looking like a tranny.

You guys are probably sick of flats so I promise I wont post flats for a while after today. You gotta admit these are pretty great though. Do I look tan?

There she goes with her crop top and vintage culottes again. I like what I like. What can I say.

Yes that's a bolo tie! Hey Wendy B... you like??

This outfit needs some OMG rings.

These are the white pair from Chloe that I was talking about in my other flat post. I love a good deal and I love Chloe so I totally won.

Flats are Shoes Too.

I know this is my life in heels and not my life in flats, but let's get real... certain occasions call for flats. Example? A birthday bbq!

I went shopping specifically to find some flats and knew I'd find something great on sale since all these crazy retailers have their Summer stuff on sale... EVEN THOUGH Summer has barely started. I will never understand that, but that's a whole different post.

I found these at Chloe and fell in love. They are my idea of a perfect Summer sandal. Soft buttery leather, the perfect shade of tobacco, and super comfortable too. The fact that they were 40% off was all the reason I needed to buy them, plus a similar pair in white.

I've really been into this cropped shirt thing and thought I'd give it a try. I had to pair it with these vintage high waisted shorts (culottes? haha) to make sure I didn't show too much belly. I'm not going for a '90s Britney Spears bare midriff thing.

Banksy likes my new shoes. He's checkin' um out.

I love this ring. I found it in Hong Kong and don't wear it nearly enough. Its coral enamel wrapped around to hold a coral shaped piece of glass.

JLO... Your Song Sucks.

I am sorry but WTF? JLO's new single that says "I'm throwin on my Louboutins" over and over again is SO annoying. Eww.

Apparently She fell on her ass during her AMA performance but they edited it out on the broadcast. Lame. You can see it HERE. Pretty funny.

She wore flats through most of the song and then changed into her... yes... LOUBOUTIN'S for the last 30 seconds.

Great.

Whatever, I had to vent.

My Argument for Pure Stupidity.

Ok, so I'm sure that when you see this Lanvin flat you're not like- OH! I have to have it! It's so different and special! But... I'm here to make an argument for it's case.

I'm not the kinda girl you'll see in a pair of flip flops unless I've just come from getting a pedi. In California, they're worn all year long, all over. Not just to the beach, but to dinner and even bars. I hate them and I think they look sloppy and very "un-shoe girl". Please don't get me wrong, I know many, if not most of you live in your flip flops. I'm just saying that they are not for me. My alternative? The simple black flat. Not just any flat, the softest most comfortable flat I've ever owned.

They are overpriced. I know this. It took me a few months to decide to go for them. I even bought them once and returned them thinking to myself, "I can't spend THAT on a plain ass leather flat!" But finally, I did. How much? Well, $530 from Barney's. Yea, yikes. But I honestly think they were a great buy. I wear them almost every day when I'm running around and I don't want to be in heels. They are super comfy and I love the hidden wedge in the back. It's a little 3/4" height boost ;) I love them so much that I think I'll get a second pair in a sexy nude color.

**ADDITION**

I still love these and wear them often. They look and feel even better after almost 2 years of wear :)

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?
