Over the River and Through the Woods...

To Grandmother's House We Go! Ok, not really. I mean, we live by the beach and my g-ma is about 10 minutes away. But you know what I mean.


Today I took my Grandma to lunch. My Grandma is a super stylish French-Moroccan who is always up on the latest designers and trends. In fact- she gave me a stack of magazine tears today, which is so beyond cute... I mean, I told her I wanted to hire her as my assistant! She pulls some really great stuff from all her Parisian mags.
ANYWAY- so lunch with Granny means no slacking off in the outfit department. I love to surprise her with new shoes each time I visit. She totally gets a kick of how high I will go. Today was no exception.

These babies are sky high. What else is new, right? ;)

They look even higher from the side!

Blackbird Singing in the Dead of Night

Aren't these great? They're definitely Givinchy-esque without looking like knockoffs. I liked them so much in fact, that I got them in 2 colors. You can find them HERE on Shopbop. :)

They're Joe's Jeans shoes, which I think are a brand new shoe brand. How exciting for them to get it right, right off the bat. Great shoes, great quality, and a great price point which is so important and getting harder to find.

I wore them yesterday while running some errands... AKA shopping.... and they were pretty comfy! Good thing since I got two, right. haha.

Is that a new bag, you ask? Why, yes. Yes it is. As you guys know I'm obsessed with Miu Miu's Spring/Summer collection so I had to get whatever I could from it. The runway shoes, the collar, and now the bag. I love her.

Vinyl printed with their sparrow design, the perfect shade of pink, and these cute little bows??? So great. So me!

And finally, the shoes in grey...

I don't often buy the same shoe in more than one color, but these are just the perfect shade of summer grey. And I feel like the shoes look totally different, don't you??

X's and O's

Valentine's day was the day of the Betsey Johnson show, but it was also an excuse for dinner at my favorite restaurant in NY... Jane. I've yet to order anything that I didn't love!

I love this sweet little multi colored pastel enamel heart necklace. I found it at Forever 21 and was shocked at how cute it was at such a great price!! (you may need to click on the image for better detail)



I know I posted this in the last post but I love it so much... you get to see it again. ;)
And as non-flattering as it is... this is the only photo I got of me and my sweetie pie Valentine

Chictopia Party

It was back to the Tribeca Grand Hotel for the Chictopia party...

I was pretty partied out at this point, plus I had come to the conclusion that I totally packed wrong as far as shoes were concerned. :( I packed shoes that did NOT work with snow/slush/wetness. Not sure what I was thinking.

I love these though! So comfy and cute. High enough to be sexy but I can walk all night long in these!

When Water Attacks!

STORM WATCH 2010!

Stupid rain.

It was only sprinkling when I got dressed and I felt like a smart ass when I pulled these shoes out. "I'll put on my rain pumps" I chuckled to myself...

Good traction on these babies. Talk about non-slip, right?

Then came the rain...

Time for a little change of clothes.

I love any excuse to wear my Harajuku Lovers Rain boots. I hardly ever wear shoes I designed because for some reason it feels pretty cheesy, but these are so cute and technically I didn't "design" them cause kick ass Jolie designed the print on them.

ANYWAY...

I guess the rain isn't so bad as long as I'm prepared and my hair is covered. ;)

Date Night

Last night, Ben and I went out with our favorite neighbors to eat some serious king crab legs. I learned my lesson from Thanksgiving and in preparation for my over-eating I wore a loose top. ;)

My Fendi shoes that Victoria Beckham forced me to buy came in the mail so I obviously had to wear them! They take high to a new level for me. I think these are officially the highest heel I own but I'll have to get out the measuring tape to make sure.

And here they are... Tah-dah!

Stella kisses!

*** THEY WENT ON SALE AT BARNEYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are now 40% off!***

Off to my Harajuku Lovers meeting today...

I was told that I looked like a hippie, a pilgrim, and a slutty grandma today. Whatever, I liked it.

Love these Louboutin espadrille bottom wedge boots. So comfy and versatile. These will take me all the way through Spring. They're a great slouchy canvas and I'm wearing them here with my Betsey Johnson OTK socks.

Slutty G-ma Hippie Pilgrim dance!!!

I ♥ NY

It's so beautiful in New York today!

Slightly overcast- moving into Fall but not cold... perfect sweatshirt/leather jacket weather! God, I love this city. If I could have a do-over I'd have come here instead of San Francisco for design school.

Anyway...

I am totally loving this Giles and Bros chain necklace! I got it at Intermix and I try to wear it whenever possible even though I always feel a little but like Mr. T ;)

NY = lots of walking. These are some of my favorite boots for walking and being comfortable. They're Miu Miu from a few years ago.

I can't wait for tonight! My stupid camera died so hopefully Wendy B brings hers! I'll be sure to get some pictures somehow...

Fall? Are You There??

Isn't Fall supposed to be here already? It was 86 degrees today!

Jess and I went power shopping at South Coast Plaza, so a pair of cute LAMB flats were in order!

So, as you can see I cut bangs again. You like? I feel like myself again. :)

My Christopher Kane for Topshop dresses came in just now and I'm REALLY excited to wear them!! They look really great and the quality is good, except for the zipper on one of the dresses. It totally sticks, but I guess that's an easy enough fix.

I also got some new shoes (shocker, I know) and I think I'm going to rock them to go out with my friends tomorrow night in LA. I'll post as soon as I get back for sure!

Well, until then, have a good weekend! It's Friday so don't forget to tell your friends to follow me on Twitter! :)

YIPPEE!
