For Just $6 a Day, You Can Save a Child...

Okay...the title of this post is a little deceiving. You can't save a child with 6 bucks but you most certainly can find a devine vintage kimono jacket that will feed your inner Diva!

Here's another find from my trip to Austin a few weeks ago. This vintage kimono jacket was a whole 6 bucks! It's a size too big so I just criss crossed the front and put on my favorite vintage belt of all time! That belt works everytime!

Yesterday, I took a walk with a friend (I'm trying to excercise more) and somehow we started talking about shoes...of course. I told her that I only got into shoes maybe in the last ten years. It was never something that I focused on when I was younger. I shared with her that for my entire middle school and high school years, I never wore sandals because I have ugly feet. I was very self conscious about them.

As I got older, and started living life, I decided to be grateful that I even have feet! I just got to the point where I realized someone, somewhere in the world would kill to have my ugly feet because they didn't have FEET AT ALL! Then, I took the attitude that if I'm gonna expose my "ugly" feet...I might as well dress them up in fabulous shoes! So, that my friends is the reason I love a really pretty shoe!

Plus, my great grandfather always said that if somone doesn't like my feet....KICK THEM IN THE EYE! And really my feet aren't ugly...they are just MINE! LOL

Did you once hate something about your physical appearance but now embrace it?

I wore the skirt to work but wanted to wear jeans. It's the perfect Spring item. Lightweight, well structured and classic. I'm thinking you'll see alot of this kimono around these parts!

Toodles! Have a great weekend!

Shoe Therapy

There's nothing like a good shoe to get you out of a funk...that's what I tell myself atleast:)


I am flabbergasted at myself for owning anything with Paris Hilton's name on it but these gray suede pumps could not be denied. The fact that Paris Hilton gets paid to do nothing secretly angers my soul but I'm a sucker for pretty details on heels. I also have become mildly obsessed with finding all kinds of cheap textured tights this fall.

How hot are these! Once again, I can't believe I am wearing a shoe by another rich airhead... Jessica Simpson. I fought the urge to like her shoes for the simple fact that she tried to bring back wearing MOM jeans last year. But I finally gave in and I am kinda in love with all of her shoes. I can't tell you how close I am to putting these on my kitchen table as a centerpiece!

So, I had a horrible weekend yet I was forced to go to my good friend's bachelorette party. I couldn't dare miss it but it meant that I had to put on the performance of a lifetime. My shoes were there but my head wasn't. Of course, bachelorette party means club...which means my slow death. The fact that I was taking photos of my shoes INSIDE the club should let you know how enthused I was about being there.

(...don't get me wrong, I shook my BOM BOM to keep up appearances. That's what good friends do:)

*Sorry Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton if you are reading this...I know you are not airheads...you can't be to make millions from saying "That's Hot" or "Is this chicken or fish". I think you are actually brilliant to have suckered America into buying things with your names on it. I respect a good hustle. Play on Playettes!*
