Tardy for the Party

So lately I've been mega broke and seriously wedge deprived. I have also been frustrated that all of the shoes that I yearn for on Solestruck or elsewhere are sold out by the time I get my paycheck because I have to be a responsible adult and pay for things I dont want to like rent, cable, and food. Not this time, people! All of the above still applies, but I decided to be irresponsible and delve into my savings for these puppies. The Jeffrey Campbell "Tardy" wedge looks a hell of a lot like those amazing Chloe boots from forever ago and you're darn tootin' thats why I bought them! Plus, some sweet red shoes needed to be added to my collection. Cant fuckin wait till I can strut around in these!

It was time for a new pair.

I really needed to get a new pair of shoes. First of all, all of my daily shoes were shredded to bits. Second, I was so proud of myself for resisting the urge to buy the Jeffrey Campbell American flag print El Carmen's at Eilatan earlier today that I treated myself to the less expensive and totally practical pair of Dolce Vita loafers over at American Rag. Kind of want to get a second job there, just to afford a plain black Comme de Garcons cardigan. Technically, I would totally get $346 worth of wear out of it, but it would be nice to get a discount and not spend more than half of my paycheck on it.

OH. MY. GOD.

Now these are shoes!! Solestruck.com SHOULD be stocking these beauties by Finsk soon! Which means I will probably be working disgusting amounts of overtime and have no life because I absolutely must have those crazy bitches in the upper left. I LIVE for crazy shoes like this. LIVE! Ok, cant let my boyfriend see that I'm looking at these or he's gonna have a fit. [navigating away from page now]

Explosions in the Sky with Papercuts @ Hollywood Forever Cemetery 4/30/2011

Ho-ly-crap, what a beautiful show! Everything about it! Everyone snuggling on blankets with beers and snacks on a lovely night listening to some of the greatest post-rock ever made! Seriously, It was amazing. I admittedly missed most of Papercuts, but the little that I heard was quite lovely and appropriate for the mood and venue. Honestly, I was kind of hoping to literally be among the graves, but we were fairly close to some small mausoleums so I guess that was alright. I honestly think my only complaint about last night is that everyone in the I.E. and O.C. had been bitching via Facebook and Twitter about how this wind is a bitch and I was just hanging around Arcadia thinking "what a bunch of whiners, the weather is fine!" Then, 9 o'clock rolls around and clearly no one else in L.A. was prepared for the upcoming wind either. Everyone was cold a squirming around probably thinking the same thing I was: I wish we had brought TWO blankets! But I mean, even my least favorite type of weather really couldnt ruin such a magical night. I even told my boyfriend, "Hey this would be a great date if there werent craploads of people surrounding us!" And its hard to have a bad time when you can take in your own booze and food. If I could take in a cheese plate and a margarita to every show, I'd be a real happy camper. But basically, Explosions in the Sky was amazing and energetic and couldnt have done any better! Bravo!

Rainbows!

So, I think I need these. There have been a few versions that i havent "needed" but the colors on this one are just perfect and the ultra white part of it....I fuckin' need it. But first, I need some monies. But I am dead serious about incorporating this into my summer wardrobe.

Holy pale!

The flash on any camera in a dark bar always brings out the crazy paleness of my skin. Me and all of my coworkers went out to say goodbye to me (leaving one store, transfering to another) and i got reallllll drunk and it was awful the next day. Anywho, I was wearing H&M feather earrings, Silence & Noise cardigan, and a vintage dress. Also wearing some extremely rad (and comfortable) Jeffrey Campbell "Skate" wedges. Its really a shame that they werent pictured, especially since i kept telling everyone i knew that we ran into, "Look at my shoes, and theyre so comfortable too!" in a drunken stupor.

Presents for Men!

I bought these for my boo for our one year anniversary. Opening Ceremony M6 for Men. If I was a dude I would want them too! Helpful hint: solestruck.com sells these for about 6o or 70 bucks less than the actual Opening Ceremony website and theres no shipping or tax. Score! No Brainer! PS really proud of myself for not buying anything this pay period even though I'm probably rolling in the dough enough to get some. But I'm just being extra picky.
