Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving is my FAVORITE holiday! I love hanging with my family and pigging out. :) I also love the excuse to be cheesy and say what I'm thankful for. Not that I really need one...

I'm thankful that I don't have shoes that remind me of a turkey. Sorry Givenchy, you got it all wrong.

Or these scary beasts...

I am thankful for shoes that use feathers tastefully. Like these by L.A.M.B.

But more than that, I'm thankful for my health, my AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING husband, my family and friends (including all of you of course!) and my cutie little puppies that are trying really hard to reach the turkey on the counter top. Not gonna happen guys.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Friends and Fashion Week... Fin

Wednesday was my day off from shows so you know what that means...
S H O P P I N G ! !

I got a bunch of amazing stuff but most importantly- THE SHOES!

These Miu Miu's are sweet and sexy! Yes please.

And these? These Alexander Wang booties are ridiculous. They are so high and uncomfortable but SO good...

I need to stress the height here

I mean, seriously. Yikes.

I'm in love. Shoe love is a polygamist love... But it's so good.


On to Thursday which was was the day of my last show. The L.A.M.B. show!
It was so fun and they were really good to me with the seating assignment. Betsey's people shoved me in the 8th row against the wall like a red headed step child, and you know what happened at bebe.
We were second row behind Debbie Harry and Tom and Tony from No Doubt. So cool.

And speaking of cool- look at this! No wait, listen first cause it sounds cooler than it looks.
My picture is on Vogue.com in the "front row" section of their runway coverage! I'm there along with some seriously cool celebs which in turn, made me feel pretty cool myself. Don't tell anyone that I'm really not, I wanna see how long I can fool them ;)

Now am I the only one, or does it look like I sniffed a fart?
I wish the girl that took this told me who she was. I would have backed up, pulled out an oil blotter, and smiled.
Here's my do-over. Happy me.

Anyway, the show itself was so fun and SO Gwen. Prints prints everywhere. I love how she designs things that she wants to wear herself. It comes across as totally her and 100% genuine.
A mix of dance music and classic reggae played loudly while Gavin and the boys from No Doubt bobbed their heads to the beat. It was such a cool scene, just like the lady of the hour herself.

Here are some of my favorite looks from the show

And Gwen herself. Such a cutie!

Gwen is truly amazing and sweet and talented and I am really honored to get to work with her. I'm so proud of her success in design and music and her family. It's really great to be a part of it, even if it's a teeny tiny part. I'm really lucky and I'll never forget this amazing time in my life.


After the show? The after party!

Now for my stalkerazzi photos of the night...

Before the show:

Our seats. My cutie pie little sister Katie and our friend Shin ♥ Oh and Deb.

The boys from No Doubt, there to show support. :)

After the show? The afterparty! More stalkerazzi...

To Sock? Or not to Sock?

Sandals or pumps with socks... Hmm. 

I've always liked the look but I never really tried it 'cause it seems like one of those things that look good on OTHER people. Not me. 

But I figured, what the heck? I'm The Shoe Girl right? Gotta try it out...

If I look like I'm concentrating its 'cause I am. These suckers are HIGH as heck! Look... They're almost as big as Stella! 

Got my nails done at Atlas again!!! Japanese nail art is so dang fun. I wish I could afford to do it all the time. So cute! 

It's my friend Julie's big 3-0 tomorrow (HAPPY BIRTHDAY JULS!!) so I got them done with big black bows on my ring fingers cause bows are her thing. And cause I knew it'd be cute. ;)

(skirt socks and tank- American Apparel, headband- Miu Miu, shoes- L.A.M.B.)

So what's the verdict?? Do you like the socks? I definitely think they're not an every day thing but they sure cute-y up these could-be-trashy heels. Normally I'd wear them with jeans or leggings (or "jeggings" if you must) but the socks sweeten them up enough to be able to wear them with a short skirt... right?

OH! And dont forget about my ebay store! I'm adding more shoes every day :)

Date Night

Sometimes it's nice to get dressed up just for fun and go on a date with my wonderful hubby :)
It's a great excuse to wear ridiculously high shoes too!

(dress- 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent, Clutch- L.A.M.B., Shoes- Christian Louboutin)

These shoes are my 3 hour shoes. I can't do much standing/walking in them so I don't like to wear them to anything lasting longer than 3 hours. haha

*I   L O V E   T H E S E   S H O E S *

I would like to sing them a love song.  ♪ ♫ La la la laaaaaa ♫ ♪ 

And now: The money shot for all you perverts out there. I love you. Hahahaha ♥

Bang Bang... My Baby Shot Me Down

The hubby and I went out for date night to celebrate the amazing fact that he and his team are nominated for an Emmy for their animated short. I am SO proud of him!! Super exciting. :)

I threw on my new dress from Betsey Johnson and my favorite jacket and these super sexy L.A.M.B. heels and off we went.

I love the gun print. Girly and bad ass at the same time. So Betsey.

(dress- Betsey Johnson, jacket- Sylvia Rielle, belt- Streets Ahead, shoes- L.A.M.B.)

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.

(Bustled coat by Betsey Johnson, Skirt- BP, necklace and crinoline- Forever21, shoes- L.A.M.B. Minnie Bow- Yokoo)

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
