All That Glitters is Not Gold

You guys know I'm obsessed with Miu Miu, and lately I've let my glitter obsession get the better of me... Well, luckily Miu Miu does glitter better than anyone. Proof? Here it is....

A pair of perfect glitter pumps.

This blue is electric! Amazing in person.

I opted for the fushcia. Duh.

Impatiently Waiting for Miu Miu

EVERY DAY I've been checking Vogue.com to see if the latest Miu Miu runway collection had been posted yet. Miu Miu is my current favorite as far as shoes go and I haven't been disappointed... until... today.

OH WHY MIUCCIA!? WHY??

Not so bad you say? It gets worse.

????

I'm sorry and I HATE saying negative things about a designer I respect SO much and look up to immensely but I just don't have any positives here. I don't like the shape, the colors, the details.... I'm so confused!

These ones are the worst! Putty/tan/beige??? A MULE??? Oh say it isn't so!

Nobody asked you Sven.

I need a moment. Am I a shithead for talking smack on my shoe idol?? I need some Milano cookies and a glass of milk to dunk them.

Vroom Vroom!

Love them or hate them, Prada's latest runway shoes definitely make a statement. "I like classic cars."

That or "Look at my fancy ass Prada runway shoes. Neener neener neeeeeener!"

Either way, they've grown on me since I started writing this post. First reaction? These are hideous! Especially the first pair.

Yikes are we back in the 90's where I customized my flair legged Jnco jeans with flames going up the legs?? (true story) No thank you.

But now I'm seeing them as definite art pieces. They're pretty amazing (except the first one that I still hate) I love the brake lights on the back. The chrome heels... the vintage car color palette. Great attention to detail.

Cute bag!

I love this one. It reminds me of my very first dream car. A vintage pink Chevy Bel Air...

What do YOU think?? Too crazy? Just crazy enough?
Do you like the idea of heels as art or do you prefer your art to hang on the wall?

I say it every season... Miuccia Prada is a genius. I am SO excited to see what she has in store for us with Miu Miu this season. She never disappoints.

New Shoes, New Me?

Ok so you know it's hard to have a personal blog without getting personal.
I've said it before but I just want to reiterate... I am not myself right now. Going through a divorce, whether it's your choice or not, is fucking hard. Harder than I could have imagined. There are so many things I never considered, including that this is one of the biggest tests of true friendship I'd ever witness. It's hard to lose your partner and some of your friends at the same time. It's hard to hear people's negative opinions on what you feel is the right thing to do.
Anyway, you get the point... it's HARD.
So, I don't know why it has come to such a shock to me that I haven't wanted to do anything that I used to do -GET THIS- including shopping. My favorite thing ever.

WTF?

I have barely looked twice at shoes. I went through a period of about a month where I didn't wear a pair of heels once! I just couldn't. I joked that my feet were depressed but I'm not sure I was joking.
Then I bought the Miu Miu glitter shoes...

TAH DAH!

...to cheer myself up. It worked for about 2.5 seconds and then it was back to the pits. And the flats. Then I really wasn't interested in lusting over things like shoes or blogging about shoes, until... New York. Good ol New York and the thrill of fashion week. I honestly don't care too much about going to a bunch of shows but there's just something in the air here. It's so... fashion-y!

Yesterday I bought what I think is one of the coolest shoes of the season. I'm obsessed with creepers! I wore them every day in high school and tried to design my own versions of them for both Betsey Johnson AND Harajuku Lovers but the buyers just didn't get them. They probably never will. They're not commercial enough. Pfffffft- whatever. I've noticed them popping on and off trend for years now. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU CREEPERS!

Anyway... so into Burberry I went with a clear mission. To get my statement shoe of the season. (Well, my non-glitter statement shoe. I'm making 2 statements really.)

I mean, are you kidding me? They're perfect! My shoe lust is back with a vengeance. I'm scared.

Do you love!? I know creepers aren't for everyone but what do YOU think??

Next shoe on my radar? Well I'm glad you ask. I am obsessing over this amazing heel from hell by Bally (kinda random) I'm hoping they'll come up with some more uppers because I'm not crazy about this one. Feels a little 2010 to me. I just love the heel and platform shape.

AND this super cool extremely curved heel by Walter Steiger... So cool!

I'm feeling ok today. I'm feeling more like The Shoe Girl than I have in a while.

YAY SHOES!!!!!!!!!

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!
