Bootights!

I got so excited when I saw these in Lucky Magazine last night...usually my daily footwear November-February consists of black opaque tights and American Apparel knee-high gym socks under my boots. This causes 2 problems; 1. sometimes the socks pill onto my tights 2. it prevents me from going to shoe shopping after work (sometimes I do that on purpose though, like my own electrical-fence)
But now there are Bootights! It's one of those 'why didn't I think of that' things but I'm glad someone did.


You can read the story on her website, but founder Shelby Mason came up with the idea after an embarrassing incident taking her boots off in line at the airport...something I've become far too familiar with myself.

They come in different heights for knee-high boots or shorter booties and are available at Dillards.

Beautiful Boots

I honestly don't know why I do this to myself. So I wandered into Barney's last night just to browse - never a good idea. And then it happened, I fell head-over-beautiful-heels in love. Behold...my latest obsession...

Givenchy Buckle Ankle boots, on sale (not that that even matters.) I swear they make you look 10 pounds thinner, your hair looks fuller, your teeth look whiter, ok I'll stop...just thought I'd share in case any of you had finished your Christmas shopping and were looking to treat yourselves, or looking to treat me for that matter!

And yes, I was that girl taking pictures o f myself at Barney's...

This is Torture!

I had to order my shoes for my sister's wedding from the Louboutin boutique in Costa Mesa because they were sold out of my size everywhere I tried.

Because of this, I am now on their email list. Terrible, terrible news for 2 reasons - 1. Even though I know damn well it is just a generic list-serv email sent out it makes me feel special and important 2. I get periodic updates on new Louboutin styles coming out. As if those weren't bad enough they always seem to come right when I need them....like today, a cold, dark, rainy, Wednesday and voila an email from Monsieur Louboutin with a subject like "Colorful Resort to Brighten Your Day"...how could one resist?

Isn't that rude? Doesn't it seem like they took pictures of beautiful shoes just for me??

Fall Shopping List

So I'm heading out of the office to enjoy this long beautiful weekend in Boston and thought I'd share some of my fall must haves! Maybe I'll pick a couple of them up if I'm lucky....

I loooove this jacket, it's from Madewell and fits perfectly! (images from ShopBop)

This Jerome Rousseau shoe is so beautiful - it's so flattering because it's almost like a cowl neck for your leg so it doesn't cut off at your ankle like a lot of booties do, and it was very comfortable when I made the bad decision of trying it on! (available at Moxie in Boston)

This Marni necklace would go with so much, jeans, a black dress, a nice work suit and I love the detailing on the pendant.

J.Crew's new Pixie Pants are so adorable and would go with everything - they'd look great with heels to go out, tucked into boots during the day, or like they're shown here with flats for the office, and the gold zipper detail is perfect!
So sue me...I like a good new Tshirt to cheer on my Buckeyes every fall and Homage by far makes the best (obviously, they're from Ohio.) They are the perfect material and all have great artwork - definitely check out their sirethey have some awesome stuff.
