JAVA Leather shoes by Jimmy Choo

I have to admit that unlike MANY if not all my friends am not obsessed with shoes.
Let me clarify, I LOVE shoes but have difficult feet which do not allow me to wear any of the ones I admire so...I keep my shoe love to a minimum.
Then again, even if I suddenly had mad money to splurge I can't see myself spending $800-$1000 on shoes to sit here in my apartment in.
LOL!
With all this said, I was actually looking for some Bridal shoe selections when I found these!
Jimi Choo JAVA
I think I felt a slight pitter patter in my chest. This is a person that wears boys Nike's and flip flops for the most part...(did I just admit that?)
The color, the detail...Shoe love!




Now, I never said that I think I could actually walk around in these...my guess is I would hobble about feeling mighty cute though!
My friends still tease me about my late 90's New Year's Eve in heels "event" ..."event of pain" more how I remembered it... Let's just say, Me and heels don't really go well together.
OH!
But how I ADORE watching you ladies gracefully glide around in them! I am completely bewildered how you do it without grimacing from pain in the balls of your feet but maybe that's a me thing!

Oh, I just happened to look at the price...$1995.00
...I think I'll just continue to admire from afar...very far!

LAZARO BRIDAL GOWNS

I love it when my clients share with me the gowns they have selected for their special day!
Recently, one of my clients turned me onto Lazaro Bridal Gowns.
All I can say is GORGEOUS!!!!
Totally romantic and ultra feminine.
Here are a few of my favorites!
LAZARO BRIDAL GOWNS, WEDDING DRESSES: STYLE LZ3060

LAZARO BRIDAL GOWNS, WEDDING DRESSES: STYLE LZ3059



I LOVE the detailing on this gown. It's absolutely DREAMY and definitely an amazing editorial piece!
I just had to show ALL the angles! It definitely has the flavor of a period piece which is probably why I am in love with it so much! I actually prefer something more simple for myself but as stunning design it's at the top of my favorites!
LOL!

LAZARO BRIDAL GOWNS, WEDDING DRESSES: STYLELZ3963

LAZARO BRIDAL GOWNS, WEDDING DRESSES: STYLE LZ3916

LAZARO BRIDAL GOWNS, WEDDING DRESSES: STYLE LZ3851



I think I am in love with how "fanciful" these are!
Yes, I LOVE lace and detailing...but I think you got that!
If you like these designs and are looking for a gown I highly recommend giving his gowns a look see!

Still Celebrating Autumn and Fall

Since I live in Southern California it's still pretty overall warm and sunny. I can tell it is FINALLY starting to cool down but unlike the rest of the country the trees here are still pretty green.
So, I thought I would share some items that make me think about the wonderful Autumn/Fall season created by my Etsy Twitter Teammates'

I have to start this list off with this DELICIOUS Pumpkin Spice Latte Beverage Mix

...can't you almost smell the cinnamon?!
Autumn Bliss Chunky Crocheted Cowl with Brooch

Falling Leaves Brown Grosgrain Ribbon

Punkin Pie Soap Bar

Chunky Newborn Cocoon and Hat Set in Pumpkin Orange


Wow...now I just want to tie my hair back with a Falling Leaves Brown Grosgrain Ribbon, take a hot bath with a Punkin Pie bar soap...sipping on some delicious Pumpkin Pie Latte! Afterwards, I'll wrap my neck up with a Autumn Bliss Crocheted Cowl and snuggle up like I am that Chunky Newborn in a snugly warm Cocoon!
Now THAT sounds like AUTUMN is here!

...and now for something completely different...

I forgot how much I LOVE this video!
I've always been a fan of pink and her last album is truly heartfelt and amazing.
Can you believe when this video came out my Mom sent this to me to watch...I think because of all the stories I have told her over the years about working in the industry in L.A.
LOL!!!
I was doing the "click, click, click..." thing on the internet and found myself watching Pink videos and remembered how much this makes me laugh every time I watch it!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
