Just Shoe It

The last few pairs of shoes that I've purchased have been from one of my favorite places, J. Crew. 

Run by one of the best dressed ladies around, Jenna Lyons (see below), this brand hits the mark by filling a niche in the footwear category which up until now (in my opinion) has been too high-low...with either shoes I have to have but shouldn't necessarily buy, (hello budget!) or shoes that are meant to be cool (see Missoni for Target) but are not actually comfortable/wearable.

Enter these beauties. They're a reasonable $298 and I get more far compliments on this pair than even my most prized YSL Muse shoes.

Bow-tiful!

This one time, I met Jenna Lyons. Best day ever. And she liked my hair.

Shoe rang...

It's been a while since I last posted. Exciting news and one of the reasons I have to get back into it is I now have a beautiful blog header by the one and only Susie Cates (see above).

Other exciting news...

I just returned from London and Amsterdam...pictures to follow. 

And, as promised, pictures from Fashion Cares. As it happens, they appeared in Jezebel Magazine. 

I. Die.

A new season of The Rachel Zoe Project started last night. Of course, I watched. Of course, I died. 

This season she's preggo and looking better than ever. In celebration, let us reflect on my past with the one, the only RZ.

RZ tweeted me. Best day of my life?

My interpretation of her flyness.

A Walk Down Memory Lane...Fashion Cares Edition

With Designer Jason Wu. Fashion Cares 2009

Last night was the ever-fabulous Fashion Cares, an event that raises money for Susan G. Komen/AIDS Research and brings out the most glamorous gals Atlanta has to offer. Here are some pictures from a few years ago...more to come on this year's event later this week!

Shoes for Thought

This email from Saks made me happy today (beyond the fact that the image of the girl in the obviously generic template has nothing to do with the product they chose for me). Details, details. Anywho, I'll take it! (Actually, I'll take all of these shoes, size 6.5, please.)

Trend-E!

Golden girls!

Stripes, camera, action!

Beyond spotting trends among my friends today (exhibit a, gold Tory Burch shoes; exhibit b, nautical stripes and gold accents), I went to a fun little shin dig put on by Bloomingdale's that celebrated the launch of Kate Spade's Current + Elliot collection. All in a day's work!

Kick Up Your Heels

Have you ever done something for the first time and wondered why you'd never done it before? I had that sort of experience last night at Jiao, which is a reflexology foot massage parlor (for lack of a better word, and I think that's actually the correct one) in Atlanta. I was quite impressed by their clever logo (footprint in the O) and their selection of tea and water upon entry. 

Foot massage felt great, caught up with a good friend and wondered many times during that hour why I had never done it before! 

I hereby declare foot massages a must for well-heeled fashionistas.

...in unrelated news, I found this image tonight and it made me laugh. One of my dear friends (who shall remain nameless) had the audacity to wear these...and it wasn't Halloween. Though, they'd be rocking if you were going as Heather Graham's character from Austin Powers. 

The owner of these babies shall remain nameless.
