Vroom vroom!

So I've always been a fan of classic cars but I've never owned one. I don't know anything about fixing them or anything but I cant help but love them. I'm looking into getting one for my next car and I'm super excited and becoming kind of obsessive.
I especially love vintage Mercedes Benz's! They just don't make cars like this anymore...



Such beautiful lines.


I think my favorite is from 1969, though most of the ones from the '60s are pretty sweet.

I'm imagining driving around in one of these and feeling pretty awesome. I also think the photo potential is pretty amazing ;)
Till then I've done some pretty high tech photoshopping. haha. Dreaming out loud...

"Oh hey guys. Just doin some shopping on Rodeo Drive. No biggie. What's that? You want a photo?? Suuuure."


"What? Oh no no, I didn't dress to compliment my car color. Oh you like it? Why thank you... And you want me to be a famous actress and model and you'll pay be a billion kajillion dollars to do so? Oh no, I couldn't."


"I'm just on my way to hang out with all my rapper friends. They said they didn't want to have a party unless I was coming so I better go... Snoop hates when I'm tardy for the party."


Do any of you have older cars?? What kind?

Over the River and Through the Woods...

To Grandmother's House We Go! Ok, not really. I mean, we live by the beach and my g-ma is about 10 minutes away. But you know what I mean.


Today I took my Grandma to lunch. My Grandma is a super stylish French-Moroccan who is always up on the latest designers and trends. In fact- she gave me a stack of magazine tears today, which is so beyond cute... I mean, I told her I wanted to hire her as my assistant! She pulls some really great stuff from all her Parisian mags.
ANYWAY- so lunch with Granny means no slacking off in the outfit department. I love to surprise her with new shoes each time I visit. She totally gets a kick of how high I will go. Today was no exception.

(The wild Louboutin Espadrelle wedge, in it's natural habitat.)

These babies are sky high. What else is new, right? ;)



They look even higher from the side!

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.

Independence Day, 2010

The only kind of footwear anyone should be concerned about on the 4th of July...


Modelled by my dear friend Dave Locke. Thanks dude! ;)


My little sis Katie and I rode our bikes around all day and then stopped by my friend's house for a little BBQ action....

My favorite house for a backyard party. I love it!

The only accessories you need today...

Good friends = good times.


I hope everyone had a happy healthy 4th of July! 
I'll be back tomorrow with a new shoe post :)

These Shoes Give Me a Bone-er

Get it? Bones? Boner? haha. I crack myself up.

Anyway! So I first saw these amazing shoes on the runway in Milan and it was love at first sight. The second I saw them I wrote frantic emails to the DSquared showroom asking if these ridiculous shoes would actually go into production. I thought for sure they would only be show pieces and knew I had to get my hands on a pair either way.




I was surprised to hear that they would, in fact, be made in several different styles. Sign me up!


Though I can't blog while I'm in China (they block blogger) I can check other blogs. I see that the secret is out on these babies and they are now available on Luisaviaroma and are being lusted after by bloggers all over the interweb. 
Well, surprise surprise kiddies... I have them pre-ordered and am set to receive them at the end of September. I ended up getting this bondage style, since I think it's the sexiest...

Hello lover.

I know they are ridiculously priced but I think of them as artwork. I may not wear them more than once but I just think that a shoe like this is a once in a lifetime kind of shoe. It's so crazy and creepy and sexy and humorous at the same time. I love that they are poking fun at the fact that high heels are the cause of back problems in women all over the world. I mean, obviously back pain is shitty, but it's our own damn faults for wearing such high heels in the name of fashion! 



Ouch.

On a side note!! Have a great 4th of July to my fellow Americans. Please be safe and have a great time :)
