Goodbye 2010!

 I almost didn't do this post because I thought "who looks at pictures of themselves and picks their favorite outfits!" Then, my other self replied, "BLOGGERS!"

So here is a recap of some of my looks in 2010...in random order because I'm way too lazy.

(Do you remember that this outfit made me a finalist for a contest to win a designer bag? I lost.)

(I wore the above ensemble to the Maxwell/Jill Scott concert)

(On the way to the Maxwell concert in my Prince "Life is a Parade" tee)

(My nephew and I hanging out this summer)

(I met some Dallas bloggers who have become my friends!)

Immediately after the above pic was taken, I fell and decapitated my knee:(

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Formal Introduction

I thought you should meet my shoes.

GFS Followers...say Hi to my little friends.

My Christmas shoes.

I'm not sure where or if I'm going anywhere for New Year's Eve but I can assure you that these babies will be on my feet no matter what happens.

Hopefully I will go somewhere interesting before New Year's Day. If that happens, I will do an outfit post.  If not...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Thanks for hanging in there with me:)

I am so grateful that God thinks enough of me to wake me up and breathe life into me every morning. While I run around this place making a complete mess of things, he just laughs at me and grants me another day.  I don't take that for granted.

I pray for your safety, health and prosperty in The New Year!

Southern Cowboy Pimp's Evangelist Wife

(Urban Outfitters hat and shirt/ Thrifted men's blazer/Target jeggins/Zara scarf, Nine West Booties)

I wore this to meet a friend (whom I met through this blog) at Starbucks.

  We were there to gossip strategize about a few projects in the new year.  I don't love this look but it was Starbucks for crying out loud. This was doing too much in my opinion:)

I adore this shirt. Oversized? Check. Leopard print? Check. Reps Jesus? CHECK! I love it. It'll look better with a camel skirt and red heels (for street walking) or with a black fitted skirt and tights. I'll rework it. I kinda felt like a Southern Evangelist who happens to be a cowboy pimp's wife....no??

(Lazy hair day= hat)

While my friend and I were gossiping  strategizing, this Latin lover came over and insisted on trying on my hat...

then he commenced to write down his number for her. Not that she asked for it but because he felt she needed it.  He literally told her "Hey, even if you call and hang up. I will love you." I forced her to keep the number because he says he is an auto mechanic. We all need friends in high and low places!

Thanks Ash for taking my pics!

Also,  I've decided that I need to edit my closet. So make sure you "like" me on FB because that's the only place I'm selling the items for now:)

My Life According to Good Times

(All pics taken with my Blackberry because I didn't want to look like a loser and look like I was shooting a shoe flick in front of strangers:)

I had to exchange one of my gifts which were some Christmas shoes. I thought I would just pop in and out but the allure of pretty shoes all around just kind of sucked me in for a minute...sixty minutes to be exact.

I tried on these gingham Louboutin heels and I think I blacked out for a minute. I saw myself in so many places in these babies. The price is way past my reality but oh how pretty they are! But dare I say that my toes hurt in them? I said it. They hurt. But if they were a given to me out of the goodness of anyone's heart,  I would wear them everywhere...crunched up toes and all.

I ended up getting these Pour La Victoire "Irina" shoes. When I say I love this shoe..I mean it. I love it. It's hella sexy and comfy at the same time. I did enjoy my time playing in shoes though:)

 (Fast forward to the 3:27min mark for the reference)

(If you are regular follower of my blog then  you already know that most of my life revolves around  episodes of Good Times. When I tried on those Louboutin's, I felt like the chick in that episode of Good Times who tried to rob the Evans family. Right before Thelma calls the cops on her, she sprays some perfume on herself and says "Well, atleast I'll smell rich" HA!)

P.S. The pic quality of this entire post is horrible because pics were taken with my cameraphone:(

Better Late than Never

I just watched the movie, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" for the first time ever. I get it now. I finally get it!

Oh.My.God. It was style porn for me

. (I'm gonna get ridiculous hits on my blog for using that 'p' word but it's the only word that fits.)

I know everyone was falling all over Audrey Hepburn's iconic black dress but the wardrobe at the "cocktail party"... especially that white dress of one of the party goers...FABULOUS!

Then I saw the black cape and red turban on Patricia Neal (had to look her up, I won't even pretend to act like I really know who she is.)

Flatline_____________dead.

I. Died.

 (above pic taken with my Blackberry...yes it was that serious)

Ironically, I was just reading about this movie in Nina Garcia's "The Black Book of Style." I believe now. I believe.

I watched the wardrobe more than the actual movie but I eventually got into it. I watched it with the same eye I would watch SATC back in the day:)

What movie makes you wanna jump through the tv and snatch the wardrobe right of the character's back?

Christmas Goodies

Scarf/Cardi: Zara

Harem Sweats (sound weird): Target

Hat: Gifted

Boots: Eitienne Aigner

L.A.M.B. Satchel

Aldo earrings

I don't know if you knew this but I am OBSESSED with anything with elbow patches and overall equestrian look. 

(Isn't this the cutest! It's a decoupage of my doggie and my heels. Thanks LISA!)

GFS CHRISTMAS LIST...It doesn't hurt to ask, right?

(In no particular order)

Pour La Victoire "Irinia" Platforms (here)

L.A.M.B. "Pounce" heels (here)

A kitchen table!

West Elm Table (Click here)...It doesn't have to be from West Elm. It can be from a Taqueria Arandas taco truck from on side of the road as far as I'm concerned. Just a basic modern table.  I keep forgetting that I don't have a real table. I was reminded of that fact while browsing at Marshall's and they had the most BEAUTIFUL dining room chairs. I paused and looked at them only to remember that I AIN'T GOT NO TABLE MAN! They had two chairs that were the same print as the scarf I am wearing in this post and and two other chairs the same print as those Leopard LAMB shoes above. I'll give you a moment to picture it....waiting...waiting....FAB RIGHT!?!? Must.Get.A.Table.

Blackberry Bold...because my Blackberry Curve is so ancient.

Done. Got an updated Blackberry Curve:)

Stocking Stuffers

Digital Scale (found here) but it can be from anywhere for any low price as long as it is digital.
(weird request I know)

Payments to my mortgage company or towards my car note are also desires all year long. Gift certificates to Home Depot, Anthropologie and ITUNE cards in large increments are also welcome:)Santa...you hear me? Trust me I deserve everything on this list and then some!
