Dear Poor Neglected Blog,

Where do I start?!

Well let me start off by saying I've missed you so! I was kept apart from you by the busy first semester of college, and other things. Oh blog, could you ever forgive me?! I never meant for it to come to this. I thought about you often. I thought about you when I would see a fabulous pair of shoes that I wanted to write about, but alas, I had no time.

I'm hoping this year / this semester I will have more time with you. I'm hoping for more shoes, more fashion, more classiness, more sassiness. We'll see how that goes! ;]

Just an update, last time I talked to you I was moving to Philadelphia for school. I spent the rest of my summer by the pool lifeguarding.

Just a Few Highlights

-Birthday at Crown and Crumpet
see it here!

-Spring Break in New York
see it here!
-Asia SF celebrationAsia SF is a delicious Asian Fusion place full of transgendered and transexual waitresses and performers. I went here with a bunch of my friends for a friends birthday and it was such a fun experience! The "gender illusionists" are awesome and fun! Its overall a fun experience to be had by all. I sure had a blast!
-Outside Lands Concert

Probably the most amazing concert I've been to! It was in August in Golden Gate Park, SF, and I went with my sister. We saw, Social Distortion, Al Green, Slightly Stoopid, Empire of the Sun, Chromeo, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Mayer Hawthorne, Amos Lee, The Temper Trap and Phoenix- The last two were my favorite sets! The lead singer of Phoenix is pictured above! ahhh. I was so glad I went. and it was such a fabulous, peaceful day on the Polo Field!

-Move to Pennsylvania & Nova NationCan you guess which wine glass is mine? (hint: its the second one!) New friends, new city, new school!

-The torture ends and my SF Giants won the World Series!!!

okay, so it REALLY sucked having to be on the opposite coast as my team was playing through and winning the series, and while my family was going to the games. But what can ya do? I was just so happy!

-Sex and the City The Complete Edition came into my life... and caused an addiction.
okay, so I've always been a big SATC fan, and I even liked SATC2, despite the critics and complaints. But when I got the SATC Complete Edition with all six seasons and both movies, my obsession was upped.... A LOT. I've officially watched all six seasons more than twice, and the movies, countless times. It's quite pathetic. What can I say, I got "Carrie-d" away. Ha. But seriously, the little white boxed set is my new bible.


How was YOUR 2010?!
I'm dying to hear!

I wish you all a happy New Year!!!!

*rawrr... super classy. HA, joke!

it's one thing to wear painful shoes to look gorgeous. it's another thing to wear painful shoes and fail at the gorgeous part. Yuck. I'll bet 10 seconds after that picture was taken A) the girls feet snapped right off, or B) she fell face first into the ground.

Balenciaga Lego Shoes - $4000

No big. Just 4 grand. I think $4000 worth of Legos could make a building that rivals the Great Wall of China. P.S., what outfit could possibly match with these shoes?

these are a few of my favorite things!

Jessica Kagan Cushman - Nantucket Bracelets

Upon visiting this fabulous website I am greeted with a header that says, "WIT. WISDOM. SERIOUS FUN." I am in for a treat, that I now know. I check out her products... the Nantucket Bracelets, to be exact, and am in for a surprise when catchy little slogans appear on these fabulously classy bangles. This must be love... I'm thinking.

"truly fabulous people never get dressed before lunch time"

"new shoes cure the blues"

"we'll always have paris"

"frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn"

"fashion must be bought. style one must possess"

"when I'm good, I'm good. when I'm bad, I'm better"

"avoid biting when a simple growl will do"

So cute. So classy. I'm a sucker for all things pretty and witty. Check all of these gorgeous pretties that are "part bumper sticker, part tattoo, without the committment", here! Which one do YOU love??

new art!

After a weeks-ful of glitter, paint, stencils, adhesive, glaze, scraps, cuttings, whatever I could get my hands on, I finished these little luggage tags!!
