Crocodile Dress and a Hose

I wore my Christipher Kane for Topshop dress and before going out Jess and I had a fun little impromptu photoshop with the puppies.

These are my new YSL shoes and I love everything about them. Best part? Totally comfortable.

Fall? Are You There??

Isn't Fall supposed to be here already? It was 86 degrees today!

Jess and I went power shopping at South Coast Plaza, so a pair of cute LAMB flats were in order!

So, as you can see I cut bangs again. You like? I feel like myself again. :)

My Christopher Kane for Topshop dresses came in just now and I'm REALLY excited to wear them!! They look really great and the quality is good, except for the zipper on one of the dresses. It totally sticks, but I guess that's an easy enough fix.

I also got some new shoes (shocker, I know) and I think I'm going to rock them to go out with my friends tomorrow night in LA. I'll post as soon as I get back for sure!

Well, until then, have a good weekend! It's Friday so don't forget to tell your friends to follow me on Twitter! :)

YIPPEE!

OTK!! OMG!

So it's no newsflash that over the knee boots are the SHIT this fall, but I just wanted to share a few of my favorites with you from every price! :)

This super chic (and surprisingly cheap) version from Chinese Laundry was an instant hit when worn on Gossip Girl last year! They sold out practically the day after the episode aired. At under $100, I'm not surprised. There are tons of look-alikes on sites like zappos and heels.com

Jane of Sea of Shoes has been wearing these CO-OP boots lately and I really dig them! They'll cost you about $750 which is a good chunk of change, but a great investment. Their style is on trend but also pretty timeless.

I really love my Chloe OTK's. They make me all warm and fuzzy. I can not for the life of me find them on line but THESE are very similar in shape, (same heel and toe shape) but are in suede and have a little more detail on the top back. These are about $1200

Now these Stella McCartney boots are for professionals only ladies and gents. No, I don't mean ladies of the night... These are seriously serious boots. They are way passed over the knee- these babies are thigh-mother-effing-high. Don't mess around. Especially at $1595...

The downside is of course, Stella's aversion to using animal carcass as fashion.

Meaning? Well, meaning that these are going to make you sweat like a whore in church. But, if stanky thighs are your thing... do it! I'll sit here being jealous.

YSL kills it every season. This is no exception. I DIE for this boot and wish I could get them, but at $1700 they're over my price range. Amazing though, right? What a sexy little demi-wedge shape and simple clean silhouette. I love the little flair on the back too. Yum yum yum.

Now you know my buddy Christian was going to come out with an over the top over the knee, right? Well these amazing boots are the most expensive on my list but are so beautiful... they're worth it. That is, if you can afford it.

Que drool.

Ah Louboutin. You sure know how to dress a lady's feet. Next time I have an extra $1995 to spare, I'll be seeing you.

AMAZING News!!

Good morning friends!! ;)

I'm up late working/sketching/tweeting and I came across THIS!

Bebe has a very Balmain inspired leather jacket for a LOT less than the real deal. And unfortunately, a lot less than I got mine for. Oh well.

I actually love the bebe one- it's a lot less aggressive in the shoulder padding and if you wanted a little DIY project you could add the little dangly thingies yourself ;)

The Balmain jacket (HERE at Luisaviaroma) will set you back almost $10,000... yikes.

While the bebe jacket (HERE on bebe.com) is yours for under $200!

Is it just me or does the leather actually look better on the bebe one?? Weird, right? What do you guys think?? Great deal or no?

I have done my good deed for the day. Maybe now I can sleep.

The Best Jacket I've Ever Bought!

So a little late, but finally- here are some decent shots of my new favorite jacket EVER!!!

I got it in Hong Kong on my last trip and am considering asking it out on a date cause I think it's so dang hot.

(skirt- American Apparel, tank- BP, shoes- Jil Sander)

Getting some wear out of my Jil Sander asymmetrical sandals before Fall...

And a better shot of the coral ring I got on the same trip.

I can't wait untill the weather cools down a little so I can live in this jacket. Swoon.

Christopher Kane for Topshop

Did you guys get anything?? Luckily I went on last night before stuff started selling out and got 2 dresses. If you haven't checked it out yet, go go go!

If I'm honest with myself, these dresses are a little pricey for Topshop, but I'm hoping that since it's a designer collection the quality will be up to par. Considering the fact that his dresses- like the ever amazing gorilla dress- will set you back about 3grand, I think it's great to have some more affordable versions for us normal folk.

His first collection for Topshop was his AW07 collection with a second sell out collection for AW08. This, his third and largest collaboration collection, is his favorite so far. What do you think? If you guys get anything, I wanna know!

Betsey Johnson Runway

I'm so bummed that I didn't just fly from China to New York! I decided to skip out on Fashion Week this year because of my long China trip. I figured I'd be super exhausted and I wouldn't have a good time.

Well, judging by all the tweets by fellow bloggers it seems like I really missed out on a good time. :( boooo.

Anyway, here are some of the runway shots from my first collection- Spring 2010

Were any of you there??? How was it? I am SO jealous! I'm living vicariously through all your tweets. Haha

A Year Already??

Happy Anniversary to my friends at the Louboutin Boutique at South Coast Plaza!! They opened a year ago today and I was luck enough to share a champagne toast with them today :) Amita, Patrick, Regan, Monica, Jordan and Liam... you guys are the best!!! I'm so glad to have known you for a year already. Time does fly when you're having fun.

If you go in this weekend to wish them a happy anniversary and mention me- The Shoe Girl, you'll get a complimentary glass of bubbly! How great is that? Go ahead, don't be shy... everyone there is great and will treat you like a friend. Not to mention the GORGEOUS shoes!

Congratulations you guys. Thank you for keeping my feet looking fabulous and for all the fun we have together. I love ALL you guys!

Home Sweet Home!

OMG you guys!! I missed home SO much! And the blog... I really missed the blog. :)

So, OK. I amidst my 10 working days in China was ONE fun day of shopping in Hong Kong! Real fun. Jessie (life long friend, fellow shoe designer) and I went shopping and I scored some great stuff.

Loving this NARS lip pencil in Dragon Girl. I've been wearing it every day and I really love the saturated matte red color- the blueness in the red makes my teeth look extra white and sparkly! Bonus.

And while I'm on this red kick- check out this awesome ring!! Ahhhh! It's so different, I adore it. It's red and gold coral holding a piece of crystal in the shape of coral. Love love love.

I found it at OnPedder but I don't know who makes it.

And finally... the piece I DIE DIE DIEEEEE for...............

No words. I effing love it. I can't wait to take better pics of it!!

I know, I know. No shoes!?!? Well, I am saving those for later ;) I am so exhausted and need a little nap. I'll be back tomorrow! I missed you all and hope you forgive me for my lack of posts. haha

XOXOXOX
