My TV Debut on RHOBH!

Did you guys watch Real Housewives of Beverly Hills last night!?
I'll be totally honest, I've been waiting all season to see if I made the cut and I'm super excited that I did! Even if it was for mere moments and I barely said a word.

We filmed a total of 4 times and it was cut down to these few shots, but I got my name up there which was beyond cool!

I'm glad there were shots of the runway show and party at Adrienne's house where I wore my Miu Miu dress that I am OBSESSED with. (Perfect LBD!)

My mom is there taking a sip of champagne 4 people to the right of me on the screen up there. Hi mom! Your cleavage looks great! hahaha

It's funny that I was sitting next to Brandi and didn't know who she was yet since the season hadn't aired. She was really sweet and friendly and if you watch the show you'll see me laughing hysterically at something she said.

I'm so stoked to have been a part of this process. Adrienne is amazing and easily my favorite housewife! They didn't really show the shoes we made for her, which was weird and kind of a bummer, but here's a quick shot...

As for Lisa and her "Vander Pumps"... stick to Giggy and maybe a line of doggy clothes. Adrienne's got the shoe thing covered. ;)


I hope you enjoyed my TV debut, and possibly also my TV retirement. I don't know how these ladies do it week after week. I truly have a new respect for them. I was nervous and sweaty and over analyzed every shot and hated my hair and thought I made funny faces and on and on... it's all too much! Kudos to you girls that do it on the reg.



XOXO,

XOX,

Stop. China Time!

It's that time again. Time to go to China and make some shoes!!

I'd like to do another behind the scenes so if you guys have any more questions- please ask away in the comments section! I'll get email notifications still ;)


Love you guys!!



XOX,

MOvember?

So I just discovered that a mustache's nickname in almost every other place but the good ol USofA is Mo. Makes sense. And people love mo's so much that they dedicate a whole month to growing one out... MOvember. Who knew!? 

I've heard of March being Mustache Madness but never Movember. Well anyway... there's a point here (and a chance at FREE shoes!)

Shoevember was created for the partners of men who are participating in Movember - the wives, girlfriends, sisters, colleagues and besties.  The idea was formed after Nude Footwear Director Dean Kolthek took part in 2010’s Movember. His wife and co-Director of Nude Footwear, Selina Kolthek, was (like most other ‘Movember widows’) less than impressed with her husband’s furry upper lip. This led to the idea of creating a reward for those who suffer the most throughout Movember – the women who have to look at the dreaded mo’s for a whole month! I love it! 

“After living with Dean’s itchy, scruffy moustache throughout Movember last year, I thought to myself that there needs to be something in it for the ladies!” says Selina, “I certainly wasn’t the only one who had suffered the indignity of my once-smooth-faced husband resembling a Ned Flanders-wannabe…”

And so Shoevember is born, just in time for 2011’s Movember. Shoevember is a Social Media initiative that allows women to win free shoes(!!!), courtesy of Nude Footwear, in exchange for sharing their partner’s Movember mo with the world. The Shoevember campaign asks participants to submit photos of their other half’s moustache via the Nude Footwear Facebook page. Users are encouraged to get their friends to vote for their photo; and at the end of each week in November the top 3 photographs with the most votes each win one free pair of shoes from Nude Footwear. Since I have a dude with a "Mo" I will be participating for sure! Shoevember continues for the whole month, where at the end of the 4 weeks the 12 most popular photographs will go into a draw to win a year’s supply of new Nude Footwear (24 pairs) shoes. This final part of the initiative will be decided by Nude Footwear’s Facebook fans, and will be a super-fast, hotly contested competition - after all, who wouldn’t want to be well heeled for a whole 12 months? 

Final voting runs for just 24 hours, so they predict a flurry of frenzied Facebook activity! In addition to this, Nude Footwear will also donate $2000 to the Movember charities, on behalf of the winning entrant’s male partner. After all, it was his moustache that won her the amazing prize in the first place! Shoevember is a fun and light-hearted initiative that offers fantastic rewards for very little outlay. Nude Footwear is excited to launch this innovative campaign, which is predicted to continue for years to come. 

So spread the word, and begin by ‘liking’ the Nude Footwear Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/nudefootwear It’s time to rally up your fellow Movember widows and hide your man’s razor… And remember, putting up with a tickly upper lip for 4 weeks could give you a year’s worth of beautiful (and free!) footwear!
