Happy Valentines Day

I just got back from Las Vegas where Footwear News Platform is going on! Trade shows are crazy and I'm glad to be home. We showed our lines and met with customers and I got to hang out with my favorite Beverly Hills Housewife, Adrienne Maloof :) Make sure you follow her on twitter for updates on her shoe line. 

Anyway, today is Valentines day so here are some V-day inspired images cause I love you!

Hope you had a good one!!

Celebrity Shoe Closets

Good morning! Is it already Monday again?? Well hopefully this post will be a little pick me up.

I LOVE me a good shoe closet ladies. Isn't it funny how that's actually a thing now? A closet specifically for shoes? Celebrities have made having one feel almost normal. I said almost.

The closets seem to keep getting more and more extravagant and I'd bet the pressure to outdo the other girls is intense! It's like a celebrity home staple now. I think it just proves that the relationship between a woman and her shoes is a powerful one. There's something truly special about just the right pair, or for these ladies and myself, the right hundred or so pairs ;)

Here's a roundup of some pretty awesome shoe closets...

Maybe the original? Joan Crawford

The QUEEN of shoes, Imelda Marcos has an entire shoe museum!

 My dear friend, Adrienne Maloof. (the photo doesn't do her collection justice)

 Christina Aguilera

Coco 

Khloe Kardashian

 Mariah Carey

Miley Cyrus 

 Nicky Hilton

 Paula Abdul

Jessica Alba 

Kimora Lee

Even the guys are into it! 

As for non celebrities, here are my past shoe closets...

This was back in 2004 when I was singe and had a condo with a ridiculous 300sq ft shoe closet all to myself. This started my obsession with shoe storage and I'm afraid I'll never be the same again.

And this is my old house. We didn't have a ton of extra room so we converted out office into an office/shoe room.

And later still, and still in the works- here's a little peek at my current shoe closet in my new apartment. Single again with just my shoes to keep me warm. ;) I kid. I have to make light of my pain... don't judge.

Who's closet is your favorite??

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,

 

Real Housewives Tonight!!!

Hello from New York! I am, as I type, watching the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills... getting hot flashes.
Make sure you tune in because you'll see yours truly in my TV debut. ;) Don't blink or you'll miss me!




 XOXO,

Take the Good With the Bad

Ok. So. I don't know how to do this so I'll do it quick like a band-aid

Ben and I split up and I'm really depressed and I haven't worn heels more than 3 times in the last month and I don't know what to blog about because every time I try to write a post I just get real sad and shut my computer and my life is a crazy mess and I'm a mess and I don't want to talk about it!

Ahhhhhh, much better.

Ok? So that's out of the way.

In other news... The shoe show starts tomorrow and although I'm in a little bit of a zombie state, I'm sure I'm excited somewhere in there. I'm really happy with how the Cece L'amour shoes turned out and can't wait to share some of them with you :) It's so frustrating that I can't just show you the shoes but you know, that isn't the smartest thing to put them out there before buyers buy them ;) ... so we'll wait.
You can see the 3 page ad spread in Footwear News too!! I'll post those soon.

There are also the Adrienne Maloof shoes that are SUPER sexy and fantastic! Hopefully you'll get to see some of our design process on the new season of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!!

Bebe looks really good- I'm really happy with that and I have NEWS about the glitter wedge you guys email me about like every other day. haha

They will be available in stores November at Macy's for sure and I'll get info on more stores as soon as I hear about it.

So that's what's up with me. I love you guys... thanks for your patience and support!

What I Wore...

I've been waiting for images to pop up online from Adrienne Maloof's party, but it's been 2 weeks and I haven't seen anything so my crappy photos will have to do.

SURPRISE! I know it wasn't an option I put up, but at the last minute with all your comments about a pop of color, I went for the brightest pop I have.

I love these Miu Miu shoes. The highlighter yellow mixed with the nude is pretty perfect.

I did my own hair and makeup and kept it pretty simple. I LOVE an excuse for false lashes so I wore these giant Shu Uemura ones...

It was a really fun night and I got to meet all the Beverly Hills Housewives who were mostly sweet ;) I'll keep to myself who wasn't so nice but I'll tell you I was surprised.

Anyway- Hope you like my choice!
