I've Got a Crush on You...

First off... THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!!

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...

Me on Your TV?

Yep- that was me!

Thanks to everyone who emailed, texted, and Facebooked me last night to tell me they thought they saw me on TV. I was out to dinner with our friends the Walkers, when both Christie's and my cell phone starting blowing up at about 8:10pm (Christie was with me at the taping).

I just got around to watching it and I am somewhere between embarrassed and excited. Probably embarrassed that I'm excited...

Here is the first shot of Christie and I... I was surprised to see myself on TV for a good solid 4 seconds (14 minutes and 56 seconds to go?) looking bored and tired- which I was NOT, even after a long 4 hour shooting time. Even though they showed it in the beginning, this was shot towards the end... but anyway, here I am. They told us not to look into the camera but it looks like I kind of am? With my right eye anyway.

THEN... after the first or second commercial break- there I am again, only this time I look happy and it was a a quick second.

Did I mention I love Cat Deely? Well I do. And here she is looking stunning, and ever so leggy as usual in a Christopher Kane for Topshop dress.

And Mary Murphy... as charmingly annoying as usual.

My sister was on too! Aint she cute!? Haaaay sissy!

And finally- a couple more shots at the end...

It was a fun day, though super tiring. We went to Swingers after for some vegan nachos (amazing) and way too many french fries!

I learned an important lesson for anyone living in the greater Los Angeles area... if you're on a TV show where they show the audience, and you may be on... try less mouth open "woooooooo"ing and more smiling and clapping.

HI MOM!

Bolo'd Over

I need to be sketching today but I'm having the WORST case of creative block of my life! I keep sitting down with my sketch pad... but nothing.

So where do I go when I want to be inspired?? Well, I go shopping of course!

First stop was a visit to my friends at the Louboutin boutique to look around and to drop off my damaged goods (Hi Amita! Hi Monica! Hey Jourdan!) and then off to see Betty at YSL.

Yes. I'm seriously wearing a bolo tie... I'm pretty into it.

YSL has AMAZING Fall shoes this year. Amazing. I think I was in there for an hour trying on all the new shoes. You guys should go check them out ASAP. We're talking serious footwear here.

OMG! And they have these numbered, limited addition Kate Moss Trib Too pumps! They're this spacey matte silver color and they are reeeeeally cool. Check those out too. Maybe I'll sneak in there and see if I can get a picture. :)

Anyway, I wore these Miu Miu boots today. They were in my bebe launch post but you couldn't see them well. I love them and as simple as they are, I get tons of comments on them. They're even pretty comfortable considering how high they are!

SIDE NOTE:

Why does my hair look so shiny and beautiful you ask? Well... my darling sweetie pants (and fake twin) Christie Walker did this awesome Brazilian keratin treatment on my hair and it worked AMAZINGLY!!! It's a de-frizzing treatment thats totally safe for all hair types. Anyway check her out if you're local.

HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND!!

Go Lakers!

To be honest I couldn't give a shit about sports in general, but I have enough Laker crazy friends (and I mean CRAZY) to respect the Lakeshow. 

So this is how I do team spirit. Purple and gold head to toe. And what do you know? They took home the championship. Go Lakers! Maybe it was the luck of the YSL's? Ha ha.

Another bad shoe choice by the way. We went to one of Ben's friend's houses, filled with BBQ eating boys. Scary, right? Well, while walking through the kitchen some bacon grease popped and splattered on.... yes, my suede shoe. 

UGH.

Luckily it was a teeny splat I guess.

Anyway, I'm off to New York tomorrow to show my Betsey Johnson prototypes to the team!! I hope they love my 1st collection and I'll keep you all updated. Don't forget to follow me on Twitter!!

For You Local Boys and Girls...

So my amazing friend Christie Walker does my hair and she does a FABULOUS job if I do say so myself.

Anyway, she just moved to an awesome new salon in the Newport-Mesa area called Desa Salon. Need another adjective? Superb.

Um, ya. So check her out. We need to look hot in these shitty times. It's all we have really. Already have a hair dresser? Well Christie is not a hair dresser, she's a hair MAGICIAN. Yes. She is.

Book now before she becomes famous and is too good for you.
