To Leopard Heels and Wild Nights

I love shoes.  I know I know all women love shoes. 

But, I have decided it’s shoes that reallllly do it for me. A new bag is always fun, a sexy dress can always make me smile, but new shoes--those are my kryptonite.   

I’ve been in the market for a new “fun” pair of shoes.  Shoes that can change an average night into a night you never forget (or can’t remember, which ever you prefer!)

After reading blog after blog one Sunday I came across these--  http://www.stevemadden.com/Item.aspx?id=57660&np=687_731  

I knew I had to have them! 

To my surprise they were even cuter in person!  They fit low enough on the ankle that they don’t cut off my not-so long legs and are uber comfortable to top it off. 

There is something so sexy and daring about leopard.  Once you slip them on you instantly feel that skip in your step. 

So here is to a wild night out in my (drum roll please)…. NEW. SUEDE.SHOES!

WARBY PARKER- $95 for glasses, what?!

Getting mail (in the actual mail box) used to have so much more appeal as a child.   The monthly arrival of Highlights magazine was so much more fun than the monthly arrival of my credit card bill.  SIGH*

Cut to last week when I opened my Warby Parker “At-home Try-on” package.  --Instant flash backs of my childhood days!

Warby Parker is a vintage-inspired glasses company (sunglasses and prescription eye glasses) that cuts out the middle man. Thus, ALL glasses are $95.  No more, no less.   

They also offer an “At-Home Try-On,” where you select your frames (5 max) to try on at home.    They put $1 hold on your credit card and 2-5 days later you have 5 pairs of glasses at your doorstep to try on.   FREE OF CHARGE!

(Not to mention, they have a similar business model to that of TOMS Shoe Company;    For every pair of glasses they sell they will give a pair to someone in need.  How great is that?!)

Above: Webb in Amber

I chose the Webb in Amber as I have a pretty small face but still
wanted a bold frame – this one did the trick http://www.warbyparker.com/.    I received them last week in their adorable case and cannot get enough of them! 

Thank you Mr. Warby Parker.  Me, myself, and my eyes are thoroughly satisfied!


(I'll update this post with a pic of me in my glasses later on)

Leather and Sequins

I love the contrast of pairing masculine and feminine clothes together--the idea of wearing a pretty, ethereal top with some tough, rugged leather boots sounds so unexpected, yet so sexy.

I have newly become a fan of Allsaints Clothing.  From the outside, the store looks more like a rustic warehouse than a secret harbor for glitter-- do not be fooled! -

Some of the most incredible sequin tops, dresses and skirts live here.  Not to mention, this store is engulfed in exquisite leather- all of which is amazing!

However, staying true to the 'glitter girl' that I am-- these dresses had me at 'hello'

To my dismay, they had shipped these beautifully crafted pieces to their final destination, "web sale." Let's cross our fingers and hope Google can help me get my search-on! 

So, here is to watching my piggy bank dwindle, my leather collection expand, and making my life a bit more glittery!
