Neon NOW

I'm not a big jewelry person but I saw this piece by Dannijo and fell in love. I love the neon colored stones mixed with the big more traditional center piece. So cool and unique!

I love neon in general. It's so fun to be so loud and obnoxious! Is it Spring yet?? And can I have pink hair!?

Shoe Regrets...

Do you guys ever have shoe regret? I don't mean shoe remorse where you buy a pair and then you're like, why the eff did I buy that effing shoe? I mean when you see an amazing shoe and you don't buy it for one reason or another and then it sells out and you're like, why the eff didn't I buy that effing shoe?

Well kids, yesterday I scored a major victory against shoe regret. I purchased one of the shoes on my list! Yes, I have a list. Wanna see it? Well here's the abridged version ;)

The sweetest shoe I've ever seen? Probably. Luella by Georgina Goodman Spring Summer 2009

So rad. Dior creepers, Fall Winter 2004

       


Such a perfectly beautiful wedge. The green is perfect. Paule Ka, 2010
Sold out everywhere, these perfect fringe boots by Isabel Marant, Fall 2011

Some of the most amazing shoes I've ever seen, these Balenciaga Fall 2010 shoes were WAY out of my price rage. At over $2500 I regret not having them, but I can't say I regret not buying them ;)


And I know that Jeffrey Campbell knocked these right off but I still wait for the original to pop up on ebay in my size, the Chloe "doc martin" ankle boot. Love. 



Finally, the super popular, often imitated but never duplicated (until now!!) Chloe studded flat boot. Fall 2008, Fall 2011

That's right! The Chloe Susan boot has been reissued! I picked them up today from the South Coast Plaza Chloe store. The LA store had a waitlist and is selling out fast! If you too have these shoes on your regret list, go go go!!! They are also available in red if you're daring enough...



I'm so excited!!

The Low Down


This weird thing has happened to me. For a few months after Ben and I separated my feet were depressed. I had no interest in heels and wore converse every day. It was shocking.
Don't worry, I'm back in heels! But I also found this kind of happy medium in chunky heels and wedges. Where I used to be all about the highest heels possible, (which I still LOVE) now I'm flirting with more comfortable shoes for running around in.

I noticed that two of my stylish girlfriends had these perfect little wedge booties and I loved how they looked on them, so naturally I snatched some up for myself. They're that perfect height where you can't call them low but they're definitely not high. They're super comfortable and I can easily run around in them all day. Another thing these wedge booties are is inexpensive. On sale for $105 each, buying both pairs was cheaper than a pair of designer flats! Unfortunately they're sold out on Nordstrom.com but you may still be able to get them in stores.

I love high heeled high end designer shoes but I'm really excited to find great shoes at a great price. I'll be on the lookout for all of us! ;)

In fact, here are some affordable, comfortable looking booties I found on heels.com most with other colors available too...
Corby by Joe's- On sale for $242 HERE

Emma by Plenty- On sale for $161 HERE

Cirkus by Steve Madden- On sale for $119 HERE

Mora by Penny Loves Kenny- $79 HERE

Fearsome by Chinese Laundry- On sale for $89 HERE


Pura by DV- $99 HERE

Kadeer by BCBG Girls- On sale for $127 HERE

Nicholas Kirkwood x Keith Haring

On my last trip to Hong Kong I was so super excited to see these amazing one of a kind shoes on display. They were at Lane Crawford in Kowloon and I can't believe how lucky I was with my timing. 

At first I thought maybe they were for sale and I frantically ran down a sales person and asked to try on anything they had left in my size. No luck though... these were all made as one-offs and are now part of a traveling exhibit. They started off in Kirkwoods flagship London boutique and now travel to the world's most prestigious boutiques.
