If I Was A Boy

I felt like I looked like my husband this morning when I got dressed. Well, except the shoes of course ;)

 Ben rolls his skinny jeans up and loves his flannel shirts ;)

These Jeffrey Campbell Litas (SoleStruck.com) are ridiculously comfortable. I love finding heels like that because then even when I want to be comfy I don't necessarily have to wear flats.

It's funny how sometimes the lower priced shoes are the most comfortable. Maybe it's because European lasts are so much narrower? Whatever it is, its effed up. More money should mean more comfort. In a perfect world...

Mama's Got a Brand New Bag

Sooooo I'm not going to go into how I got this bag exactly, but I was really excited to get hooked up with it. It's Givenchy and it's way out of my price range. The leather is amazing- the picture doesn't really do it justice.

I think I've posted these old boots before but I still love them. They're Betsey Johnson from at least 3 years ago... I really like how the boots bend into my jeans, and I love their classic vintage shape.

Off to the Office...

First of all- I must thank poladroid cause I freaking love these polaroid looking pics! Woo hoo.

So I woke up this morning feeling extra sassy. I love this new top I got off Revolve by Hellz, which I stumbled upon on accident. Also, my new JBrands with zippers! Sass-ayyy.

I guess I've been feeling like I need to spread the love around lately. These shoes got a lot of press for being supposedly uncomfortable and impossible to walk in. They are neither. For whatever reason, they're really not that weird feeling when walking. Plus, I love the confused looks of people watching them walk by. ;)

I'm also really feeling this hot pink lipstick I got from Nars. I feel like an 80's barbie. Kiss kiss! My Fafi girl back there is totally trying to upstage me. Pshh.

**ADDITION**

Hmmm. I don't know if I still like these shoes. What do you guys think?? Were they just a moment in time??

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.

I ♥ NY

It's so beautiful in New York today!

Slightly overcast- moving into Fall but not cold... perfect sweatshirt/leather jacket weather! God, I love this city. If I could have a do-over I'd have come here instead of San Francisco for design school.

Anyway...

I am totally loving this Giles and Bros chain necklace! I got it at Intermix and I try to wear it whenever possible even though I always feel a little but like Mr. T ;)

NY = lots of walking. These are some of my favorite boots for walking and being comfortable. They're Miu Miu from a few years ago.

I can't wait for tonight! My stupid camera died so hopefully Wendy B brings hers! I'll be sure to get some pictures somehow...

Thrashers

Feeling inspired by my giveaway post, I decided to bust out my similar looking JBrand Thrasher jeans for a quick trip to LA. to make some returns. I paired them of course with the lovely asymmetrical Jil Sanders. 

I probably should have thought a little harder about that choice. As amazing as the shoes are, they are not the best "walking shoes". They're slightly awkward and require intense concentration, which of course meant I had to spit out my gum.

ANYWAY- I still love them and will just chalk it up to a lesson learned. Walking shoes do not equal 6 inch heels. Der. I'll just save them for outings which require less movement and more sitting.

Channeling Chanel...

Today is so yucky and grey. Time for some retail therapy! ;)

I'm going to the mall with Ben today to get him some cute summer stuff. Yesterday was his birthday! Yippee!

Anyway- This is what I'm wearing. I found these Chanel shoes at a sample sale (YAY) and Stella thought they looked delicious I guess. I tried to explain to her that if she was going to start chewing shoes, we would have a big problem.

Silly puppy. Shoes are for mommy.

Dinner with a Shoe Girl...

So my friend Jessie who I've added as an author on here, yet who hasn't posted since her first post (total guilt trippage) got engaged to a LOVELY young man named Mark, so we figured we should all get together and celebrate! We went to Gulfstreem in Newport and it was DEEE-LISH! 

I literally ate every single bite. oops.

I can't find my camera's USB cord so my camera is stuck with a cutie pic of us at dinner together!! :( Booooo. Why cant Olympus just use a regular freaking UBS. 

But I digress.

Oh well. Here's what I wore.

(jeans-JBrand, blazer- Kenna-T, shoes- Fendi)

I LOVEEEE these Fendi shoes. They are so rad! I love the sexy cutouts and the slight cone heel. I really like all these open/closed shoes happening. They're great transition styles.

These are in super soft suede too, which I think makes them extra rich. Plus, any shoe that requires a zipper to get into is OK by me!

Lost In Puppy Land... Then Found Again

This is my excuse for being away for the last WEEK (ahhhh!)... Look at that face and I dare you to be mad at me. ;)

UGGG! She's so cute. But any of you who own or have owned puppies know that they are total time suckers. Especially when they're this teeny and scrumptious de-loosh! 

I went to the Louboutin boutique today (shocker, I know!) and was telling my friend/favorite salesman Patrick that I am sometimes tempted to drop Stella in the oven and cook her up. 

Que cricket noise.

Obviously I was kidding... mostly. But by the silence and pained wince I got from Patrick, I guess that wasn't funny.

So this is what I wore today. Guess how many times people asked me if I forgot my whip at home. Well, I'll tell you. 3. Not that funny guys. They're more Edward Scissorhands than dominatrix IMO.

I do feel like I have to pick and choose when I wear these babies. They are definitely not an everyday thing, right. 

*wah-pshhh!*

(that was my whip)

ANYway... sorry for my leave of absence. I'll be better this week. :)

Shoe Girl Had a Little L.A.M.B.

Today I'm wearing these LAMB shoes that I absolutely love and definitely don't wear enough. They're my idea of the perfect chocolate brown with just a little red in there. I'm not a brown shoe kinda gal- in fact, I think these might be my only pair.

Anyhow- they're that beautiful miracle that happens when a shoe is high and comfortable. They're also the perfect mix of girlie and rocker- like Ms. Steffani herself. You can never loose with a sweet mary jane with big chunky buckles.

You can find them at heels.com and love them as much as I do.

Back to Reality...

It's back to work today. Booooo. :(

I suppose if I were really back to reality I wouldn't be ignoring my toes that are like "WTF bitch? These are total Spring shoes and were cold down here!" 

Shut up toes! Don't make me paint your nails green so people think you've developed a fungus.

Anyway- Yes, I'm wearing seasonally inappropriate shoes- so what. I blame California. We don't really have seasons.

On a side note, I am really over this taking pics with my MacBook thing. The picture quality is never very good. :( I think I'll invest in a tripod.

A MUCH Better Alternative to Uggs...

Ok, so yesterday I found these cute little pull-on boots at Brass Plum (Nordstrom) and when I slipped them on this morning I thought... what a great alternative to Uggs for those who just can't let go.

Hear me out. If you love Uggs it can't be for the looks, right? They're heinous.

So maybe you like the ease of a soft boot that you can just slip on and go? Well, these have the same function while being a lot cuter. 

Maybe you like the price? How much are Uggs? Like $150? That's pretty good for a pair of boots 

right? Well, these are only $79.95

Maybe it's the wear-with-everything tan color it comes in? Well these come in that same color! Look at that!

Anyway, my point is that I do understand comfort but let's not completely forget style, OK ladies? I mean, these are definitely not the cutest boots I own, but they're comfy and easy to wear and go. :)

Don't forget kiddies: Uggs rhymes with FUGGS for a reason.

Grey Grey, Go away

I'm wearing head to toe grey today to match the weather. What a yucky day.

At least my L.A.M.B peep toe pumps (on SALE now at heels.com!!)will bring a little sunshine into my life. ;)

Hush Hush, Bang Bang...

Off to get my hair done, wearing my most favorite flats of all time. My Lanvin ballets. 

Came home with BANGS! I was feeling adventurous today so I just went for it. I figure it's nice to change it up sometimes.

Off to the Dog Park...

Today I'm wearing my Frye boots. It's yucky outside but Banksy is restless so Ben and I are going to take him for his first trip to the doggie park!! I'll be a good mom and brng a camera ;)
