Its my birth month!!!!!!!!!!

And I will take one of these please.

More specifically it is the week of my birthday! I have 2 days left of being in my twenties, so thirties Bring it On! But seriously I have definitely heard from people to enjoy the thirties because it was a favorite time of their life. So for the next decade of my life I would really like to accomplish some more things, including:

1. Travel more (starting with the honeymoon baby!)

2. Pass the CPA

3. Eat healthier (no really I need to cut back on the crap I eat)

4. Find a hobby that I truly love and am excited to do.

These are just a couple of items that I would love to make sure I accomplish (hey I have 10 years right). I am willingly saying goodbye to my twenties, I have had a TON of fun but that fun also dealt with uncertainty and uncomfortableness of life in general.

Friday M has put together a dinner party at our house with family and friends, which I am super excited about.  What I am not excited about it he decided to tear open our living room wall Sunday night. I know I know, I wanted all the TV wires not hanging from the TV, but why is this project being started when we are having people over?! Why do men decide to start a project just before you have people over?!?!

Well hopefully at least the wall will be put back together by Friday, because I am pretty sure it will not be painted at that point :( Aggghhh men!

Birthday month is coming!!

So T-minus 6 days until my birthday and 3 days until the month of my birthday! For those who do not know it is also Mayra's over at life is BANANAS birth month too! Go Aquarious'!! So in honor of my birthday I figured I would show you all what is on my wish list year. So here we go...

All I want for Christmas

1. What I really really really want:

I really would love to be in a house and not in a tiny apartment sitting on a blow up mattress to watch tv. Seriously I just want a house to fall from the sky and into my lap, well probably not in my lap as that might cause some problems.

2. I still dream about these boots daily.

3. Craving this skirt from Free People for New Years:

4. Lastly the one thing that sits high on my list that would make #1 a lot easier. A big fat raise.  Well hopefully I will see something come around.  Long story but I DO deserve one. via google image

If I do not have a chance to get on here again have a great Christmas to those who celebrate. Those that do not, Happy Holidays.

......

That is pretty much what today feels like to me. I do not want to work, shop (I know right), all I want to do is curl up in bed and watch movies.

I might have some good news on the horizon but do not want to get to hopeful about it but at this point thats kind of the only thing keeping me positive today. I for sure have grumpy pants on today.

I did find the most gorgeous wedding shoes over at Leigh Miller Photography.

Now if I could find them in purple.

Fergie

Ok so I have to say that Fergielicious is not my favorite person but the girl has the shoe closet I want. Did anyone watch the AMAs.  Her OTK Louboutins? Girl has a shoe closet to die for. I am going to have to do some searching for examples but first seriously I would give my right arm (since if I gave away a foot then I could not wear the shoes very easily).

Oh and just a short note, I guess Taylor Swift had to be in London so that she would not be interrupted. Yep I went there.

back back in cali cali

So M got back from China yesterday, which I am so happy about but his clock is all screwed up and he was up and 1, 2, and 4.  He finally at 4 just got up and stayed up. I probably now have a little insight to what it is like to be a parent (well except the having to get up with him).  He had a very interesting trip from the hooker his client tried to set him up with (I was almost peeing my pants laughing when he told me) to the taxi cab he was in getting into an accident.  He was only supposed to be gone three days and he ended up being gone two weeks.

Oh and you ladiies know how I felt guilty about the shoes, well he did some shopping for me while he was over there, not him, me.  So now I feel even more guilty. Needless to say the shoes are still tucked away in my closet waiting for the perfect time to show him, cause he does know what shoes I have, especially when it comes to those red soles. I will try to get a picture up later of what he brought home cause ladies he did pretty good for not having any fashion sense.  For now I leave you with the shoes I would die to have, yes another pair of Biancas but these ladies uhhh the gray python.  Yummmy.

Found at Net-A-Porter

Off to look at more houses tonight. Wish me luck.

My guilt

So I told you all earlier that I had a lunch time today that lead to pure guilt after. Well here is why:

I have a serious problem, do they have rehab for shoe addicts? M needs to get home from China so that I have something else to do. So as for the serious guilt I feel? I believe that is due to him too.  As we move forward with saving for a house together and pay for a wedding I realize that my spending not only effects me but him as well.  Therefore I need to stop just going and spending a ton of money on a pair of shoes, ugggghhhh life. Somedays I wish I could go back to the irresponsibility of my early 20's, not that it was more fun or anything but I sure cared a lot less which was good and bad but what can you do.  Well I guess I should show you a picture of the actual shoe huh?

The CL Bianca uuuhhhhh drool.

Candy

This weekend definitely started out on the wrong foot.  I had to work Saturday (it is that time of the quarter, blaaghhh) and I was driving to work and I was almost there and I realized I forgot my badge to get in. So I had to turn around go home and get it, add 2 hours on to my day. I also had to head up to the north bay after for my old bosses 30th birthday.

So on to my actual weekend of today.  I had a busy one.  My mission was to at least clean up the closet. This has been my closet since M and I moved in a couple weeks ago. It has been a mess and frustrates me daily when I am trying to find something to wear.  These pictures were a little disturbing as it finally was sinking in what a mess it was. So I ran errands, did the grocery store and of course my once a week Target run (M said I need a Target intervention). So I off I went to run errands pick up some stuff to try to get me organized.

Of course while running my errands what did I have to wear? My Louboutin shirt of course. (Bathroom photo shoot a la oofa) During my trip running around I decided to run into one of my favorite shoes stores, Foot Candy, and tried on the Louboutin Bianca.  I wish I wish I wish they had it in my size because had they I would be sporting some new gorgeous pumps! But then again I guess they didn't have them for a reason.  So I was wearing the shirt in Foot Candy and they loved my shirt, totally raved about it. Ahh thanks to Miss Liz.

So off I went back home to tackle the closet.  Took forever and I couldn't find my iPod to rock out to some music so that was a little boring. But here is the end result.  Well at least the closet is finally tackled and we can move on to the living room and get that under control because it seriously out of order.  Pictures will not even be had of that because well, its really embarrasing. As for and offer on a house last weekend, another denial, offer number 3 and increasing. Ugghhh

mayday mayday it's Monday

Ugghhh, it is Monday again and there is a storm blowing in. In the Bay Area it is supposed to be raining this afternoon (just call me Veronica Corningstone). 

I DID have a Monday morning pick-me-up though.  I received a little present (from myself) in the mail:

Yea!!! I am seriously debating going and buying THE boots that I have been stalking. Thanks again Miss Unbeweavable for showing me the light which is this shirt!

OMG

I just found this...

I MUST Find!!!! It combines my two favorites Louboutins and Piper! This is the Le Rituel Box Set and if the website reads right I will be buying this on October 26th.

Wishing for...

A new pair of Louboutins. I am currently coveting many of the finest by CL, always droolworthy.

Loving all things platform right now and these Biancas scream out to me, buy me buy me!

The ever classic grey (also the classic CL pump, Simple), can be used for anything a black one would, plus so much more! although I would definitely want them in the 100 mm and not 85.

The second these come in a red or purple satin, I will be all over them.

And these pony hair just make me want to scream...

All pictures came from saks.com or barneys.com (shoes are also available there)

All of the shoes above make me want to go back to my credit card abusing irresponsible hayday. If I won the lottery you ladies would know exactly where to find me.

By the way I am totally excited,. over the last couple days I had two more new boos. Miss Unbeweavable and Mrs. KLaw I am so excited because I have been following these lovely ladies for awhile and are awesome! Thanks ladies for being my boos.

Hi-ho hi-ho

It is back to work I go.

I took another day off yesterday because I have not been able to feel better. So I took another day and slept till noon! The last time I slept till noon it was because I had a little to much fun the night before (ooopsie).

So today I decided to dress the part of a healthy person and dressed in a dress with of course good shoes. For anyone in the Bay Area who loves shoes Footcandy is the place to be.  I discovered them awhile ago, and fell in love.  The great part is the owners also own a winery, wine and shoes, WHAT?

So the other great thing is that Carolyn Butler (owner) started working with designers to create a special shoe to benefit Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation.  To my knowledge Casadei was the first designer to work with Footcandy to design a shoe, since I have seen Manolo and Christian Louboutin designs as well. Well when I saw the cute pair by Casadei and that they benefited elephants I thought why not? Well here they are. The shoe is a peep toe, patent leather, with the RED heel! I love.

I was wandering over at saks.com today and help I think I have found what is NEEDED for fall. Feist your eyes on these my pretties the Christian Louboutin Platform Ankle Boots.  YUM is all I can say, do you think I could use the excuse of being depressed about not having our offer excepted on the house to run out and buy these?

What do you gals think? A reason for splurge??

Wonderful weekends

When it comes to weekends, I could not ask for more.

Since Friday was my self designated no more crabby days, I dressed the part to make myself feel better (dressing cute always makes a day so much better) and of course I was wearing the Louboutins.

These were my first pair of Louboutins, in which I feel head over heels in love with the shoes. I wish I could collect them and have a closet full.

On Friday the boss decided that he had checked out at 2 pm and it ready for happy hour. Thank goodness, I was so excited. We took the walk down to Pier 23 and started with buckets of beer and continued through the night.

Saturday was a bit of a bummer, spent most the day inside hiding from the 100 degree heat. Really where is this heat coming from?

Today was awesome. I decided that I would head downtown Walnut Creek, this place has changed and for the much better. Headed over to lululemon (how I love their Grove pant) and found a pair of gray pants (woowwweee) usually they only have black so I scored. Then headed over the the Free People store which by the way I lovvvvveee me some Free People. Somehow I ended up at the Tiki bar with my sister and her boy... ahhh Sunday Funday.

Anyone else have a great weekend?
