X's and O's

Valentine's day was the day of the Betsey Johnson show, but it was also an excuse for dinner at my favorite restaurant in NY... Jane. I've yet to order anything that I didn't love!

I love this sweet little multi colored pastel enamel heart necklace. I found it at Forever 21 and was shocked at how cute it was at such a great price!! (you may need to click on the image for better detail)



I know I posted this in the last post but I love it so much... you get to see it again. ;)
And as non-flattering as it is... this is the only photo I got of me and my sweetie pie Valentine

Betsey Johnson Fall 2010 Runway Show!

Sorry I'm so behind you guys... I'm so exhausted and SO glad to be home! :)

So this Betsey show was super fun! I went early to meet up with Betsey and check out what was happening behind the scenes. Betsey told me she was going to be doing "something special" to some of the shoes and I was excited to see what it was!

I got really excited when I saw Betsey putting together this mustache coat for her Alexander McQueen tribute.

The runway before all the chaos...

Betsey drew on some of the runway shoes! So cool! Special is right.

Isn't this fun?? What a cool DIY for all of us! Now all we need is a cheapish pair of suede or fabric shoes...

I asked what would happen to these shoes after the show... I thought it would be a great thing to donate for charity, but I haven't heard back yet.

This is what I wore to the show.

I was really excited to meet some awesome people at the show including Robert Verdi
And the amazing Miss Patricia Field, who was so super nice! Don't be fooled by the witch hat ;)

It was a great Valentine's Day for sure! I got lots of compliments on my bow that night. I absolutely LOVE it! You can get your own here... YOKOO

Pretty Please with a Bow on Top

Yesterday my friends and I had brunch and did a little gift exchange. Since 6 out of 8 of us were a size 6, I brought a pair of Harajuku Lovers samples that I love but never got made.

I wore my favorite sweater as a dress and my new Yokoo Minnie bow in cranberry. I'm telling you guys, I'm obsessed with these. They make every outfit cuter. ;)

They'd make really great holiday gifts and are totally adjustable so they'll fit anyone!

Turning Japanese

I hope you all know about Yokoo by now. You definitely should.

Well today I received my highly anticipated Minnie bows!! YIPPEE! Look how happy I am. I love them and plan to wear them as often as possible. The perfect girly addition to any outfit!

(Thank you Yokoo for the added gift. That was really very sweet)

Oh... What's that? You want to see my nails? You think they look amazing?

Well hello Japanese nail art. I kind of love you.

I got them done at this cute little place called Atlas Studio in Costa Mesa and I've decided that my nails will never feel whole again without glittery barnacles attached to them.

SHING!!!!!!!!!!!

If you live in the area you need to check them out. Sweetest cutest girls and endless possibilities for your nails! They have tons of Japanese nail art magazines and a book of pictures from clients. I was so excited about all of the choices that it took me almost an hour to decide on a look!

Back on the Chain... Gang

I impulsively bought this AMAZING scarf about a month ago after seeing it on little miss Tavi's blog, and I just received it last night (YAY!)

So here's the thing... I'm not sure that I can pull it off?? I mean, it is truly amazing but I feel like I might look silly wearing it. Like I need to be a little cooler to wear it. ha ha ha. That sounds silly, but seriously.

It was handmade by the talented Yokoo (check out her etsy shop!) in limited quantity so I figured I didn't have time to think about the purchace- I just HAD to have one!

I'm totally in love with it, but what do you all think? Cool? Silly?

**ADDITION**

Yokoo has since become a household name. ;)

I'm so excited that fall is here and I can wear this again! Yippee! I wore it to Gwen Stefani's house and she loved it so Yokoo made her one in all black!

Great Success! (said, of course, in Borat accent)

You guys, I seriously couldn't be happier right now. I had my Harajuku Lovers approval meeting at Gwen's house today and she LOVED the line!! I'm so pumped. It turned out great and I'm super happy with it. :)

I wanted to get a pic taken of us and the shoes but I just can't work up the nerve to do it. Ha ha ha. I'm such a nerd.

We did these super cute moccasins with cool color combos, preppy mary janes with chunky heels and multi color strap, our own version of Doc Martins, wellingtons (so cute!) and some 80's inspired stuff that I love. I can't show you pictures yet- but I will after the show the first week of February. 

I wore my Yokoo scarf and Gwen loved it. I'm still madly in love with my Stellas too. <3

It rained all day and I didn't get to eat- but my spirits were as high as ever. YAY!
