what goes perfectly with burgers and fries???

SODA CAN BOWS!!!

A little over a year ago I became ~inspired~ after watching the Lady Gaga "Telephone" video (now one of my top favorite videos EVER)

and I decided if I can't wear Diet Coke cans in my hair on a regular basis, the next best thing would be to make a bow out of a Diet Coke can!

and voila! I did! and I wore it WITH actual Diet Coke cans to my Monster Ball in August :o)

(this photo is from the "dress rehearsal" hair)

I thought the coke cans could use some rhinestones too... never can have too many! ~and later added the rhinestones to the bow too.

here's my hair/outfit from the actual Monster Ball

good thing I did the dress rehearsal it turned out pretty awesome!

SO, a little less than a year ago I ALSO promised Allyson (@allysonmaniac) that I would make her a Sugar Free Red Bull bow and I've FINALLY gotten around to doing it after thinking about it all the time!

Allyson will be receiving her bow as soon as I get my ass to the Post Office! It has even more rhinestones than mine :o)

it's too quiet!

I have so many things I want to post/ have been meaning to post about but have had so much trouble getting behind the computer! Between work being busy, getting ready for my vacation home to CA for Christmas, and knowing that I will only be back in the office for 3 days after my vacation before I head to Hong Kong for a work project! I guess when I write it out like that, it makes sense I haven't posted in a while!

Enough with the explanations, let's get on to the cuteness~

I am totally in love with this Olympia Le-Tan book purse that Natalie Portman was carrying at the Black Swan premiere in New York. Adorable!

It is just too much!! But the prices are over $1000 so I will have to come up with a creative solution because I feel like I must have something like this!

Kate Spade also has a collection of book purses, but I still don't see myself spending a few hundred dollars on one of these :o/

(even though they are amazing too!)

So, I guess there is another project on my list of a million projects I keep committing to and never finding time to finish lately!! I am hoping with the new year (and with Winter keeping me stuck in the house) I will be able to follow through.

I know exactly which book I'd want to use as well, hopefully if and when I follow through and make one, that can be it's own post ;o) That will get added to my long list of projects! Hopefully in the New Year (and with Winter keeping me in the house!) I can get to the many projects on my list!

I wore one of my FAVORITE pairs of shoes today! It kind of sucks because some of my favorite shoes, I have BARELY worn! :o/

My parents bought them for me for my birthday in 2007, I LOVE them! (my parents and the shoes :oD)

They are Sam Edelman, I love his shoes but these are the only pair I have. 

I brought up some pics from the archive to share some outfits I have worn with them. I'm joking about the archive thing, but really I have been photographing outfits for a few years now, so I think it might actually be pretty accurate!

The first time I wore them I wore this bright blue dress with them. I was OBSESSED with finding something in that color to go with them and I kinda love what I found :o) and super cheap from F21

picture was taken sometime in 2007

After the first time I wore them, one of the black leather covered button caps fell off. Now a less wise version of me may have been bummed and considered them ruined, but I made the best of it and added this brooch I got at a flea market over the broken button, it looked super pretty when I wore it with a pair of dark green tights- one of the few un-photographed outfits, I promise it was cute :o)

The second time I wore it, I wore it with some classic L.A.M.B. pieces and some Citizens of Humanity skinnys- COH makes some amazing and great fitting jeans and they are so soft!

picture was taken in Fall of 2007 :o)

Most recently I've added a new brooch over the broken button- 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! everyone have a safe and happy holiday!!!

this is what I need to be doing after looking at these old pics!

oh, and my verdict on the new Kanye- love it, love him!
