you're so new...

I always love it when I finally get a chance to wear new stuff! Last night I went out for a farewell party for one of the most awesome women I know who's moving back home to Michigan, and although it was bittersweet, any chance to dress up makes me happy. 

These Rachel Roy boots were a Black Friday find and I've been itching to wear them since I got them! You know when you get asked, "Did you get those at the Future Store?" the style is a good choice! haha

Rachel Roy clothes and shoes, and jewelry, are some of my favorites! Great quality too!

I also have been really wearing a lot of BCBG lately- I recently got amazing deals on this dress and leather jacket!

Oh, and a little advice that would make my Mom proud- WEAR A SLIP ladies! No one wears slips anymore- just remember the proper undergarments can make an outfit look even more fab!

and I was SUPER glad that I blew off errands for a pedicure and getting my nails done yesterday! I always feel an outfit is more complete if my nails are lookin fly too!

hope everyone is having an awesome weekend! 

30,000 feet up and you are not invited

I am not sure how successful this post will be since I am on a plane to Cali right now... but I will try

I will keep it short and sweet... this is a tribute to my awesome L.A.M.B. Zeyn boots that I packed and hope to wear in Cali, and a funeral for my long, natural, blonde hair

R.I.P.

you may be gone but you're never over...

and on a lighter note... someone wanted to play instead of watching me take photos with my boots :oD

to be continued...

gobble gobble

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!

cheap shoes

 I buy cheap shoes ~my philosophy on expensive shoes... shoes get worn out, I like to dance and they get scuffed up, they get totally messed up in bad weather, etc. etc. so I really don't mind buying cheap shoes if I find them in cute styles. Besides, all the most expensive glorious shoes I have, I never wear because I don't want to mess them up :o/

anyway! I just ordered myself these shoes. I don't normally shop www.alloy.com but I got their catalog in the mail for some reason, and checked it out. I knew I was going to buy the wedges the first look I got, haha... I am trying to get better at saving, but I busted my ass at work this week and the least I can do is buy myself a $32 pair of shoes, so I am ordering them :o)

they will look super cute with some textured or lace tights.

here's the link to the shoes

they remind me of these L.A.M.B. shoes I would love to buy 

~I'm hoping they end up on Gilt or at Saks Off 5th~
