I GOTTA HAVE THESE THINGS...

I was supposed to be shopping for my mother's gift from my dad and somehow, I ended up in the women's shoe salon (won't name store as I don't give away freebies). Suddenly, as if God spoke to me, I turned around and picked up the most beautiful shoe I've seen in a while. I'm not even a huge celerity supporter or fan, but these Gwen Stefani pumps are bad and I must have them. Somebody please feel charitable and find it in your heart to gift me!! I made the huge mistake of trying them on and walking all of 10 feet before deciding they were going home with me. I put them on hold for 24 hours so I could home and peruse the world wide web for a cheaper option. At $335, I'm $15 short of my car note, which I'm almost tempted to forgo this month...okay since I really wouldn't do that, I'll have to figure it out and "make it work". Seems like her entire Spring '08 Collection is worth looking at. This outfit right here is one I may try to emulate without breaking my bank. If I only could manage to lose and keep an extra 8 pounds. For now, my 5'1" stature, weighing in at 125 will have to suffice.



I ended up getting my mom a really pretty pair of gold and natural emerald earrings. I hope she loves them as much as I love these L.A.M.B. shoes! (eat your heart out JS!)

A Shameless Plug!

When it comes to family and friends, sometimes plugs and freebies are way okay! I want to share with you C.B. Herrera Jewelry. Straight out of DC, this designer is close to my heart! My mom "ya'll"! I love, love what she's doing and am very excited for her! I'm even more proud of her for being so passionate about little things and really pouring out her heart! You'll never see hear wearing any of her pieces (she leaves that up to me), but she simply loves working in her studio at 2 a.m. while everyone else is asleep!

Visit her site and enjoy perusing through cool pieces like Mai Lynn, the cocktail cluster rings and her take on the Rosary with her Swarovski crystal necklace! Smokin'! She's sure to get some great press and I happily introduce CBH to you!

Look often as I'll be posting new updates on her progress and press attention!

SHOPPING IN NYC IN 3 HOURS!

SHOPPING WENT LIKE THIS:

Chelsea. I feel right at home there. I hop on the "F" and spend a solid 3 hours in Loehmann's. I walk out with shoes and handbags and a guilty conscious knowing a very sweet man is waiting for me and instantly will offer to carry my bags. Village shopping is tempting. I want it all. His presence keeps my hands very still. After a quick 20 minute rest at the hotel, we both hop on the train and make our way back to the Village. I spared him my own sense of guilt, so all I bought on this round, were some earrings. Nothing spectacular enough to share here. But check thee shoes out! I had to get these Michael Kors Oxfords.

And then, as I walked alone on 5th Ave for all of 35 blocks, I came across a funky store with off the cuff pieces. I had, had, had to buy this necklace I'm wearing below!! It was only $40!! Check this bad baby out! The things this thing does are amazing. It's shapeable, bendable and manipulatable to fit your sense of style. Don't know where else to find them or where they come from, but 3 colors are available: gold, pewter and a matted silver! Email me if you're interested in getting one!

I LOVE shopping in New York City. Deals of the century.

Those things wear us down! So log on, sit back and play dress up in your mind. We've got great things to share!
