Confession of a Shoe Girl...

Are you guys totally over me?

I haven't been blogging a lot recently because of a few reasons. I don't flatter myself thinking you guys are all depressed that I'm not posting but I have gotten some tweets and emails asking why... so, I'll be frank.

There are a few reasons. One being that my readership has gone down every month since December so I feel like I'm doing something wrong but don't know what. Some of you say it's cause I'm posting less but that's because I'm busier than ever working on 4 shoe lines at once (I'm the only designer for 2 brands and helping out with 2 others).

You know... I'm just a girl with insecurities and shit and I look at other shoe blogs where they post once a week and just post pictures of themselves and people go ape shit over it.

Ya ya, I'm whining... It's my blog I can wine if I wanna! ;)

Second- I feel like a fat blob. I know that I'm not fat but I've been eating really bad and weigh more than I ever have in my life and you know how it goes when you feel ugly- you don't want pictures of yourself online.

I am NOT fishing for compliments! Again, I'm just being honest because I know I'm not the only person that feels like this sometimes and I know it's nice to hear it from others.

I had to photoshop a fat roll out of my last post (the lollipop one where I'm sitting down) and that kind of threw me in a shame spiral. YES I'm dramatic but you guys are my people so I can tell you this stuff.

So- yesterday I decided to finally get over myself and post some of the most amazing shoes of the season that I am lucky enough to have when I when, oh crap- I hit my toe so hard that I thought I broke it!

I didn't, thank God, but it still hurts too much to walk on without limping. How cool are X-rays!? I love them. I want more to put in my office.

OUCH!!!!!

I'll post something good soon though my friends, soon. Maybe you could tell me what you guys want to see more of? I'm curious to know.

Love you all... thanks for listening. Sorry for the pity party.

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!

Better Late Than Never...

So I feel like a bit of a douche because I am SO late on this. I'm supposed to be your "insider" and I totally forgot to write about this! Shame on me.

Anyway, some of you may have heard that the company I work for, Titan Industries, is re-launching the Charles Jourdan brand. We launched the shoes this last show to a pretty good response, though honestly- not what we hoped for. There are some REALLY great shoes but overall it wasn't what the launch should have been. 

Luckily though, they've taken action already and hired a new designer! Now THAT my friends, is inside information ;)

The ads look great though, right!? I love them and think they did a great job! Jourdan was famous for their sexy racy ads and the one below, the Footwear News cover, is so 80's h-o-t!

These are 2 of my favorite shoes from the collection. They won't be available in stores until next year but luck me... I got my hands on um! Bwa-ha ha ha!!

sorry!

I know you guys are waiting to hear about my dinner with Christian Louboutin, but I promise I'll tell you all about it AND about today- tomorrow.

:)

sorry you guys.
