Pierre Hardy Wedges

I'm more than slightly obsessed with Pierre Hardy's wedge offerings this Spring/Summer. 




 These are SO cool! I of course love the pink and orange striped ones too. So girly and flirty! They remind me of old fashion candy. Yummy!
I think a big reason that I love them so much is the extreme height on these babies. That's how you make wedges sexy...

Spring? Is That You?

The California sun seems to think it's time for Spring. It's so bright and sunny out, yet not warm enough for shorts, skirts, and shoes like these...



(Shoes I designed for Betsey Johnson)






Unfortunately these ones were never made for the masses due to the buy-out :( Lame, I know.



Not to worry! We'll soon have shoes like this in my new and still yet to be named line! Thank you guys for all your suggestions BTW. You're awesome. I'll let you know what we're going with as soon as we clear it with the lawyers.

Stella LOVES shoes, like her mama.


Spring Fever!

Spring is coming I can feel it! And thanks to a few of my favorite runway items... I can see it too!

I am so happy and lucky to have my two favorite Spring runway shoes (posts comingsoon!!) and one of my favorite Spring accessories. This pink collar by Miu Miu is so dang cute I just had to! I can't afford a whole top form Miu Miu so I figured if I at least got the collar it would bring some Miu Miu runway to every outfit!! Add a cotton candy lollipop and a matching pink hair clip in and I've officially got Spring fever!

Dreaming of Spring

It's good to be back!! I've missed you all and my poor neglected blog. I'm recovered from my jet lag finally but with this crappy weather and bad lighting I haven't been able to wear much but my Harajuku Lovers rain boots the past few days.

For those of you who don't live in California, let me tell you a little something about Californians... we melt in the rain.
Ok, not really but if you spent a rare rainy day here you'd think we did. People freak out when it rains to the point of hilarity. All our local news channels are franticly reporting rain storms, flooding and tornado watches. Seriously.

So in the spirit of hating the rain, I'm dreaming of Spring!
Here's what I'm looking forward to in warmer months....
This Victor and Rolf shoe just sums up Spring for me. Frills, bows and shades of pink. Yes please!




Ruffles and bows everywhere! I love all this girly-ness!

I'm also loving everything Miu Miu for spring. There's a dress in there right now that I swear I'd kill for. Unfortunately it's about 2 grand and I'm not at that point in my life yet. ;)
I have to choose between expensive shoes or nice clothes. I can't afford both.

Guess what I pick. Hint: ShoeGirl


I can't find a picture of the dress but it's a pouffy little party dress in this beautiful brocade fabric
I can't wait for Spring!

Welcome Back Spring! I Missed You!



Ah, glorious Southern California sun, how I love you.

Today is so beautiful I had to wear something to celebrate! ;)
I picked up this little jumper whatever you call it thingy at- you guessed it- Forever 21. It's becoming my favorite place to shop, especially with our household budget squeeze. 
"Budget" is absolutely my LEAST favorite word. Yuck.
I'm thinking of doing a little mini DIY and switching out the buttons for something cuter. Like maybe some bubbly red heart buttons or some nautical looking buttons or something. 

Anyway. Here's my outfit for today. I wore these new Dolce Vita sandals for the first time. They're super comfy and a little sassy. Though I am now in my new black bikini and will be laying out until the sun goes down. You don't get to see that though. Ben would get super jealz.


I love this Marc Jacobs hair bauble. It reminds me of being young and it such a cute little accent without being too obnoxious. 



Spring Break in Belize - You are Invited



We are inviting you to spend Spring break with One World Running in Belize to distribute shoes, help with community service at schools and help put on a race.

UPDATE: The 2009 race was a big success, with three distributions of more than 1,500 shoes taking place in Belize City and in two rural towns. The prime minister showed up, as well as the mayor of Belize City. Thanks to the 12 students from Ohio State who spent their spring break helping pass out shoes and put on the race.

Next year's race is set for March 22-30, 2010
The trip starts in Belize City, where we will meet up with a group from Ohio State University.

Call (303) 261-5936 or oneworldrunning@gmail.com or anaweir@yahoo.com.

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.

Good Deal for Spring!


I know my blog has been slow going in 09 so far, but it's not a sign of things to come, I promise. I'm just enjoying my time off from work- going out with my girl friends and getting into all kinds of trouble! haha

Anyway, a fellow blogger is selling their unworn Louboutins that are "a little too big" for their size 8 feet on ebay. I have them myself (I wore them for my engagement photos for our wedding magazine shoot) and LOVE them! They're super cute and high and perfect for warmer weather. 

Here's the ebay link! Check them out- they're starting at only $100. My first pair of Louboutin's were a pair of his espadrilles. Just an FYI ;)

Stop and Smell the Floral!






Funky? Yes.
Sweet? Yes. 
Hard to wear? Maybe. 
A must have shoe for Spring? Totally!

I am loving this floral shoe by Dries Van Noten. I love these kind of statement shoes. Worn with a simple outfit, these shoes would make any spring day brighter. I've always been a fan of Dries Van Noten. Their shoes as of late have been right on target! This shoe is no different. With all the florals I've seen from all the designers from Prada to Gucci, I think it's safe to say that this is a big trend for Spring. I think going with a cute floral print shoe is an easy way to do it without over doing it. 
It's hard to find though. I've seen it in just about every March fashion magazine, but only one place to buy it online. Browns of London has them for 300 pounds, which is what? Like $600 US? 
Well, hopefully you are all on the same page as me when it comes to this shoe. I think some people might think it borders tacky, what with the mixing of prints... but I think they got it just right. :)
