People's Revolution Party

How do you New Yorkers do it?? Party party every night? I can't keep up!

I'm on delay here- this party was a few nights ago... Hmmm, 3 nights ago? They're all blurring together!

Anyway, the party was insane. Tons of people and lots of dudes in heels. So awesome!

My new New York BFF William. I was about to shoe battle him! He was WERQing the Balenciaga cork platforms I am obsessed with and can't find... bitch.

Yay! Epperson from Project Runway's 6th season :) He was so sweet and was hanging out with this very cute male model. Hello.

I mist say though, that the highlight of my evening was hanging out with the AMAZING Tony "Princess Poochie" Cooler of Shoe Daydreams.

I am smitten. We had such a good time and she made my cheeks hurt from laughing all night!

AND THE HAT!!! You gotta love the hat.

Mama's Got a Brand New Bag

Sooooo I'm not going to go into how I got this bag exactly, but I was really excited to get hooked up with it. It's Givenchy and it's way out of my price range. The leather is amazing- the picture doesn't really do it justice.

I think I've posted these old boots before but I still love them. They're Betsey Johnson from at least 3 years ago... I really like how the boots bend into my jeans, and I love their classic vintage shape.

I LOVE SALES!!!!!

I just want to share some of my favorite shoes on sale right now! I'm so excited about how many great shoes there are for 40% off! AHHHH!

Barneys:

This is a great everyday sexy basic and at this price would be a great first pair of Louboutins. $509 from $855

I saw these on a girl running around in New York and they looked amazing on her. They aren't really my style but I like them a lot. By Prada for $409 from $690

Again, not technically my style but they look great on Jane from Sea of Shoes so I back them. By Prada at $449 from $750

These are great- I love the crepe sole and the open/closed style. By Prada for $359 from $595

So high and sexy! These Fendi's are $469 from $779

These are the same as mine and VB's but in a really pretty snake. Fendi's at $449 from $750

I love these YSL T-straps. Especially at $539 from $895!

And these boots are really testing me right now. I can't get them but boy do I want to! They were sold out within the company (ysl) so I don't know how they are on sale! Get them while they last! They're $839 from $1395

If you're looking for a real statement shoe I don't think you get much better than this. Still a lot at $1049 but a deal from $1750!

I have these Bottega Veneta shoes and love them. They are super cute and girly while being comfortable. Bonus! Now $409 from $690

For you sluts out there these boots are perfect! Haha! Now at $959 from $1595. I still love them!

So these are definitely a love them or hate them kind of boot, but if you love them, they're now $409 from $690

What do YOU Think?

Yes or No?

This whole jelly craze may be getting out of hand. I'm ok with some of the cute jelly flats and heels by Melissa like these-

But I just can't get into the weirder versions like these jelly boots by Givenchy. Eww.

But what do YOU think???

Hot Child in the City

Dang it's hot today! Off to LA to find the last of the great shoe bargains!

Who says you can't wear suede boots in the summer?? I say boots of the ankle variety are just fine. Paired with a pair of ripped up cut-offs? No problem.

I love this necklace! I found it at Urban and it reminds me of the stuff that was going down the runway at Givenchy.

Excuse me while I mop up the drool...

The Perfect (almost affordable) Flat Sandal...

So as you all know, I was shopping LA this past weekend. I saw a LOT of great shoes and spent over nine-thousand of my company's dollars on designer shoes! What a great feeling!! Talk about retail therapy. ;) All the shopping, none of the guilt or buyer's remorse.

Anyway, among all the amazing shoes we saw, this Givenchy leather flat stood out as one of my favorites. It is the perfect Spring to Summer sandal, and at only $380, it's at least semi-affordable as far as high end designer shoes go. If you have a hard time imagining summer without wearing flip flops, this is a great alternative! You'll look a lot more put together with a leather version of your old fall back. TRUST ME. Plus, I have it on good authority that miss Gwen Stefani herself will be seen running her cute pregnant ass around town in these!

A side note: If you're ever in LA shopping for shoes you MUST stop in at Barneys and ask for Jason. He is the sweetest (not to mention cutest!) salesmen on the floor, and he'll help you find the perfect shoe. Tell him Celine sent you ;)

What the FUG?!?

Ok, back on the Negative Nancy train. These are for sure the most hideous things I've seen in at least... oh... 5 or 6 hours. (lots of not so hot samples came in the office today)

Anyway. Total hideosity. When I think of Givenchy I think of sexy, fashion forward footwear. Um... not so much with these things. 

First off, I hate jellies whether or not they are a kick ass designer brand. They need to go away. They look like some manly shower shoes that escaped from some gay men's day spa. I don't see how these are supposed to be fashionable. Am I alone here?? US Weekly featured them as one of their favorites, though what the hell do they know about fashion? They should stick to celeb gossip, which they DO know about. ;) Apparently fashion know-it-all's Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst, and Ashley Olsen are fans of the shoe. Another thing they have in common may be fashion stylist Rachel Zoe? I could be wrong. I digress. 

The point is I'm not a fan. I think I've made that clear. Any arguments? Along with the black seen here, they also come in a shitteous pink color- both available at Barneys for a mere $165. A certain shoe blog, which will remain nameless, is reporting that these are "cute". Yea, sure. And so were those Nine West clogs they were lusting after last week. HA! Maybe I should re-name myself the shoe blog snob?
