My Friends are Gorgeous AND Talented!

You guys have to check this out! My annoyingly beautiful and very talented friend Skully handcrafts these beautiful one of a kind veils, and when you see them you'll make up a reason to need a veil!

Check it out- En-Veil.com

Then there's one of my oldest and dearest friends, Jessica Palermo, who is getting married next month. We're going to celebrate her bachelorette in a really exciting way! Well, In MY opinion anyway.

Jess is not your average bachelorette. She's incredibly creative (she designs Badgley Mischka footwear and is our new and improved Charles Jourdan designer) and entertainingly quirky so when talking about what we should do for her party I knew she'd be into my sort of out there theme.

The idea came from Jess and I laughing about the average party where girls wear embarrassing condom covered veils and are surrounded by their scantily clad girl friends. Not really our style.

I thought it would be really cool and glamorous to sort of do the opposite. To have all the girls dress in sexy black dresses and vintage black veils (enter the En-Veil tie-in) and call it "mourning the death of her singlehood"... yes I'm serious, and to my pleasant surprise- Jess loved the idea!

Doesn't that sound fun!?

What fun crazy things have you guys done for a bachelor/bachelorette party?? Spill it!

New Betsey Johnson!

I just want to let you all know that all the new Betsey Johnson styles are finally the stuff I worked on starting almost a year ago. Yay! There aren't a ton of my styles out yet but they're coming and from now on all the new ones are the ones I did :)

These are on one of my favorite shoe websites, Heels.com

I love this new outsole we did. Cute and girly, yet almost subtle.

You can find these ones on Nordstrom.com

You cant really tell by this photo but there are big set stones inside the little rosettes. :)

You can tell better on the black one...

Well, I hope you like!! I'm really excited and honored to be Betsey's shoe designer and can't wait to see the runway show this weekend!!

Also, thank you all so much for your positive comments and emails. I love you guys.

Alooooo-ha!

Hey friends!! I've been in Hawaii the past week for a little girls trip! It was amazing and so nice to be away from yucky cold weather for a while. Later this week I'm off to NY for Fashion Week where it will undoubtedly be freezing ass cold!

We were on Oahu, staying in Waikiki to be specific... and I must say that I was saddened by the amount of Crocs I saw on the island. I generally like to stereotype Japanese youth into the category of amazing and fashion forward, but that was clearly NOT the case in Hawaii because I'd say about 90% of them were wearing crocs. I wanted to cry.

Why the venomous distain for the brand? Well if you have to ask you clearly don't know me. I hate Crocs and everything they represent. See here here and here for past posts and further examples of my hatred.

Other than the yucky footwear, Hawaii was great and I'm now packing to get ready for NY. I'm excited to meet any of you who will be in the area so let me know what you are all up to. Is anyone going to any fun shows?? Spill!

Mama's Got a Brand New Bag

Sooooo I'm not going to go into how I got this bag exactly, but I was really excited to get hooked up with it. It's Givenchy and it's way out of my price range. The leather is amazing- the picture doesn't really do it justice.

I think I've posted these old boots before but I still love them. They're Betsey Johnson from at least 3 years ago... I really like how the boots bend into my jeans, and I love their classic vintage shape.

When Water Attacks!

STORM WATCH 2010!

Stupid rain.

It was only sprinkling when I got dressed and I felt like a smart ass when I pulled these shoes out. "I'll put on my rain pumps" I chuckled to myself...

Good traction on these babies. Talk about non-slip, right?

Then came the rain...

Time for a little change of clothes.

I love any excuse to wear my Harajuku Lovers Rain boots. I hardly ever wear shoes I designed because for some reason it feels pretty cheesy, but these are so cute and technically I didn't "design" them cause kick ass Jolie designed the print on them.

ANYWAY...

I guess the rain isn't so bad as long as I'm prepared and my hair is covered. ;)
