tights or pantyhose?

February 28, 2012 4 Comments

I went to a wedding this past Saturday and sported my new favorite little black dress.  It was the perfect cut, had beautiful pearl detailing, made me look skinnier than I actually am but somehow still made me appear to have an ass, all for $50.   I paired it with this adorable gray toned leopard print wrap.  Thank you Macy’s clearance rack.   This is an incredibly attractive dressing room shot:

I have a pair of black platform pumps but couldn’t decide if I should wear black tights

or pantyhose.

I’m a tights girl for the most part but I’ve worn pantyhose in the past for formal events…sorry I’m Irish and pale, bare legs are only for May-August.   I cringe when I hear pantyhose but I think it’s because it involves the word “panty” and I hate for that word.   Anyway, I spent so much time trying to decide between tights and hose, it was embarrassing, so what would you have worn?

the last pair of boots

November 15, 2011 Leave a Comment

I’ve been doing some hardcore reorganizing in my closest(s) over the last few weekends.   I have a serious shoe problem.    I’m not exactly sure when I lost control but I have way too many pairs, it needs to stop.   I have three pairs of nude pumps.   Three!   For the love of Gucci, I’m a dj…no one even sees me, I could roll into work in Pumas and a hoodie every day, why am I obsessed with shoes??    I’ve decided I am not allowed to buy any more shoes, indefinitely.   Not a sneaker (I have 3 pairs of those too) not a flat (I have about 10 pairs) or a heel (I can’t even keep track.)

At the beginning of the month I made a little Shoedazzle purchase, obviously not something I needed, but when they arrive this will be my last pair of anything for a long, long time.

I’ll miss you Shoedazzle.   You too Endless.com.   This may be one of the hardest bad habits to quit

flattery for breakfast

May 12, 2011 Leave a Comment

Yesterday morning I popped out to my car to grab something from my truck.   On the way back in a black town car whizzed by honking.    It stopped, went into reverse and the window rolled down.   A woman in the drivers side yelled to me, “WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE SHOES???”

That is the power of Shoedazzle people!

I explained to her the concept and process of Shoedazzle and that I had purchased the fab shoes in April.   She was disappointed that she wouldn’t be able to get the same pair I was wearing but I encouraged her to try the site and to call their customer service department to see if there was any way to get a previously featured shoe.

It was nice (and kind of flattering) that this woman stopped driving to ask about the shoes, even though I was just wearing them it made me feel good.   Have you ever stopped someone you didn’t know to ask where they got something?

top 2 tuesday: things i collect

April 19, 2011 Leave a Comment

I’m taking a break from the Knicks and Celtics for a quick Top 2 Tuesday !

Top 2 Tuesday: Things I Collect.

I can’t say I am an honest to god collector, but these are things I’m always on the hunt for…

1. Shoes

   I love shoes.  I love shoedazzle.   I love sparkly shoes:

I love shoes that I purchase even though I know better.   Seriously, where am I going to wear these???  They’re sitting in my closet!

2.   Snow Globes

This is more for the kiddo, but because he loves them I’m always on the lookout for them.   PS, any Tampa friends who might read this blog, we’ve been looking for a Tampa snowglobe (couldn’t find any the last time we were there) and the only one I’ve found online is this creepy gnome Rays hybrid.   If you come across a cool touristy looking Tampa/St. Pete snow globe let me know and I’ll send funds!!
