Flowers and Bunnies and Wedges, Oh My!
You guys know I love Spring. It's so full of pretty girly things like Spring flowers and baby bunnies popping out of mommy bunnies everywhere! Lots of pink and fluff and sunshine and new life... are you sick to your stomach yet?
So it's not surprising that I put two of my favorite Spring things together- flowers and bunnies, adding my other obvious favorite... NEW SHOES!!
Yay! I got them and I love them. They're super high yet mostly comfortable. The rubber bottom and cushy insole are so great. To go with my over-priced shoes I'm wearing all Forever21. I love my Fifi Lapin sweater so I was excited to see that she did more shirts for the brand for Spring.
I'm excited for warmer weather and cute girly clothes!
I wanna be like the Hang In There kitty...

I'm With The Band
Saturday night the old ball and chain and I went out to see our friends play a show. They're in a little band called Kutless. Over 1.5 million records sold. Record holders for the longest charting song in the history of the R&R top 40 charts.
No biggie. ;)
Anyway, they're freakin awesome dudes and when they're in town it's always a guaranteed good time. Plus it was a good excuse to wear my new shoes.
I love these shoes. They're the Jessica Simpson "Dany" and they are perfect! I can't seem to find them online anymore, especially since Rumi was wearing them the other day. So good luck with that. (Let me know if you find them anywhere!)
We hung out backstage for a while then watched their shoe, AMAZING... then it was off to Del Taco, or as we call it after midnight- Club Del.
Kutless: Super Mom-friendly
Guess who's NOT in the band. hahaha
Club Del rules.

GOTCHA!
Lookie lookie. A super awesome reader saw that I was lusting after these babies and wrote me to tell me she had an extra pair lying around. Like, hey... no biggie I have these Balenciaga's just hanging out here at my house. Wannum?
AMAZE-BALLS!! I am so freakin happy. I got a great deal too! YIPPEE!
(Don't mind me looking all tough and mad-mugging you. I'm trying to look cool but I'm smiling inside)
Hello. I love you.
(top- All Saints, pants- Jolt, jacket- Sylvia Rielle)
They're super comfy. I wore them all day yesterday. Even walking the tough streets of LA. You know... Robertson. So hood.
I'm loving this look and I'm actually surprised about it. I mean, lets face it- it's basically a birkinstock (barf) on a sick platform and heel. But it just works.
My next purchase might have to be this same idea on a wedge, all Spring-ified! I love that pop of pink!
What do you think???

If You Don't Like Fur... You Won't like Fall
Accessory reports are showing that fur is huge for Fall 2010. Yikes.
Fur is bad enough on coats but at least you can say that they keep you warm. Fur on your feet??
According to top designers, yes.
If you ask me? No.
Gross gross gross. I'm all for a little shearling trim on a cool boot like this one from Burberry
But the following shoes are just silly. And cruel.
Lanvin's Fox fur boot.
Why would you want to look like you had fat hairy legs??
Celine (the design house, not me) has this option for those of you who just want fur between your toes. Sweaty.
Lovely. And if that isn't enough fur... there's more here
(rabbit fur)
Chanel is doing fur in a cruelty free way... faux fur. Less cruel on the animals but not on my eyes!
The second one looks like a Wooly Mammoth and the ice he got frozen in.
Louboutin uses Coyote....
Coyote balls?? Weird.
While Hermes uses Raccoon...
Pierre Hardy uses Marmot (a kind of giant squirel)
Then Manolo trumps them all and uses Chinchilla fur
While my pet Chinchilla, Fafi strongly objects. Aint she cute?
Then, just when you think it couldn't get any more vulgar, Roger Vivier gives small defenseless animals a big ol middle finger and sticks a dyed pink fox face on a clutch. Classy.
Listen. I'm not an animal rights activist but fur has never really sat well with me. Even if these shoes were all faux fur, I still wouldn't like them cause they look silly.
What do you guys think about fur on shoes?? What is your stance on fur, if you have one?
I leave you with this. One of my favorite anti-fur moments of classic American cinema...

What's Up, Bra...?
Ok so I've been completely obsessed with fluorescent lace bras ever since I saw Gwen Stefani rocking the shit out of them. She's been wearing them almost every time I see her and I love how bright they are.
Now that I think about it, Gwen is sort of famous for showing her bras right? Remember girls studding their bra straps in the 90's to be like Gwen?? Totally.
Well, after looking for the past year (I do not exaggerate) without finding anything nearly bright enough I finally got the nerve to just ask her what brand of bra her brights were. I sent her an email and to my excitement, she answered right away! Her answer...? She wears Deborah Marquit's fluorescent lace bras. Yay!
I'm still on a mission to find a cheaper version but I have yet to find one. These look so great under all the sheer tops I'm seeing for Spring. I'll definitely keep you posted if I find anything half as fabulous as these!

I've Got a Crush on You...
First off... THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!!
They were impossible to find and I was getting super frustrated about not getting my hands on them. I became obsessed and hounded my sales guy/friend to do whatever he had to do to get them for me.
Your comments are seriously the most amazing awesome inspiring things EVER. You really are my friends and I'm so lucky to have you! You seriously freaking rule! Way to turn my frown upside down. I love you guys :) Sorry for the drama queen moment. I'm making myself be over it.
I decided a hair change would help to make me feel better and I was right. I feel sassier already. Christie Walker at Desa Salon does my hair and she's amazing. I went in and sat down and she could tell I was in a funk so she brightened me up (literally) and gave me my bangs back. Yay Christie!
On to shoes! And oh what glorious shoes!!! How can I feel sorry for myself with these babies on my feet, right?
Amazing amazing amazing amazing!
I fell for these shoes the moment I saw them on the runway. Miu Miu hit the nail on the head with these babies! They're perfect.
They were impossible to find and I was getting super frustrated about not getting my hands on them. I became obsessed and hounded my sales guy/friend to do whatever he had to do to get them for me.
Well, he obviously came through! The funny thing is that these are the actual editorial samples! So if you've seen them pictured in magazines they were these actual shoes! These shoes have travelled all over the world! How many exclamations can I use in a row?! haha.
Here's another version from their campaign...
Look at them. They're flirting with me...
