So I should be finishing our thank you cards instead I am looking at shoe sales. Finding pretties such as these from barneys.com

Or how about these lovelies from saks.com

To go with my gorgeous Miu Miu's seen here

Oh I am in desperate need for a good pair of flat boots, and these from saks.com would do wonderfully

Or from nordstrom.com which has beautiful plum suede going on right now

So so pretty. 

Just a few items I would love to get my hands on these days. But I will be good, I try and try and will succeed at biting my crazy shopaholic in the ass.

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!

Serious pains

Of the not shopping kind. I seriously think that I am having shopping withdrawals right now. I am desperate to spend some money. Maybe something along the lines of these:

 

Mr. Louboutin you can do no wrong.

Seriously purple suede, you had me at purple.

Both above via: net-a-porter.com

Yeah so what if they both are purple pumps, does not mean they are anything alike, suede and patent, totally different.

Thinking these for our bedside tables? With the mirrors here behind them? Yes my taste ranges, honestly if I could decorate my entire house with Jonathan Adler, I would.

Our house has a serious obsession with animals (that would be M), and all things porcelain and white resin (oh I have it so bad).

Lamp and deer head from Z Gallerie.

Thinking that maybe M and I will just go elope so that I can buy all of the above plus some. I hate not shopping! Any suggestions, I need rehab.

Its all in the details

I bought my wedding shoes! They are beautiful and fun and of course Louboutin. Here is a picture.

Yep, and that is all you get to see.  I am keeping these babies under wrap. The yellow box, a new pair of Fendis, ohhhhh so beautiful and super sale from Barneys! Stay tuned for those in the future. Tooddddelssss. I am out of here. How is that for a day? 9-3 with a 2 hour break. Yeah that's how nice/depressing it is around here these days (I am the only one here).

Interview Time

So tomorrow morning I have my first of what I am sure to be many interviews that I will have. As I noted here, my company is being acquired so I will be out of a job. So I need some interview clothes, I have not bought a new suit since 2004, yep it has been THAT long. The thing that is a little rough is that due to my field it is a very suit oriented interview, there is no expressing yourself with trying to change it up or do anything other than your standard suit and blouse.

So now it is finding something, and quick since it is tomorrow at 8 a.m. My first stop was of course Banana Republic to see if they had anything. Nope, nada, except for the summer cotton suits which for interview situation, not the best. JCrew, can't do, their pants are not a fit. So at lunch it is off to Saks, maybe Theory will have something that works. This sucks, I much rather be trying these on (all pictures from saks.com):

Oh CL you make my heart go pitter patter.

Dior do no wrong. Seriously the gold and the black together, delish.

I have been in love with Chloe wedges for awhile now, and yes this is where my dog's name came from.

I dream of YSL (all the time).

I have seriously had a hankering for a new pair of gorgeous/fun shoes for awhile now and yet the only pair I will allow myself to spend any significant amount of money on at this time is the pair I will wear on our wedding day. And yet, I cannot find something that I truly love/must have for that day so I refuse to settle and keep looking. I need a serious shoe fairy to pop up and point me to shoe heaven to find the perfect pair.

Starting this afternoon, M is out of town for a bachelor party and I get the house to myself. I have a few craft projects in mind that I want to get done and a barbecue for my cousin who is being deployed. Ahhhh a quiet house for all the girly t.v. I want.

The dog count for this week:

1. 2 hats

2. plant

3. electrical cord on the fan

Yep eaten all of that, lets just hope she keeps pooping. She has definitely turned into a little rascal.

 

Happy 1 year pre-versarry to me

One year from today I will be going to the chapel, and were gonna get married. I know this next year is going to fly by and all of a sudden I am going to be standing in front of a priest saying I do. Which for me a couple years ago was totally not even on my radar. But, M came along and swept me off my feet supplied me with enough booze and home brew to keep this girl passed out. Just kidding, I love my man and it is just nice that a nice cold beer awaits me when I get home. So with this being the year until date we need to step up and start getting some things checked off our list. One of the items our attire.

Anyone who knows me my our wedding is not about the dress, I have actually looked into maybe borrowing a dress or buying used because for me I don't really feel like putting money into it. Now shoes, that is a TOTALLY different story. Of course I want the red sole, and I also want them to scream, look at how hot we are (we being the pair). I will not be the bride looking for the "Oh you look so beautiful" comment, I want the "OMG your shoes!" comment. So the second we were engaged I did not start looking at dresses, I started with the shoes. So I have been on the search and have come across a couple. First it was this pair

The Lavender Poseidon at Barneys.com. Gorgeous by for $1200 but they were not perfect.

Then there were these, which definitely got a Holy Cow! when I saw them pop up on NeimanMarcus.com

Once I saw them in person they were a little less purple though and more magenta so I kind of gave up on those.

Now I have found these

I randomly came across these on this site: http://forum.purseblog.com/ and someone had posted them. These would be absolutely perfect and totally what I had in mind. The $1700 price tag though, not so much. Plus on top of it these were a spring shoe especially for the South Coast Plaza boutique, so this lizard is probably extinct. Hmmm I guess I could always e-mail the boutique just out of curiosity...

Love my friends and family

Yes of course the people but what i am talking about is the stroes friends and family discounts! I am headed over to Saks at lunch for a little action, mama needs a new pair of shoes, so what if I have no even worn the last new pair yet. I am headed over with a very good friend who is back from London! Woop woop, although my damage in the stores seem to increase when she is around.  But hey now whe can help my look for some wedding shoes. I would love to be able to brake the bank but I must somehow refrain since the dog already did.

I will leave you with some I just found on net-a-porter.com that make me drool. Ohhhhh come to mama. Python, 4 inches I would give Chloe up for a pair (well no I wouldn't but hummnnaa huumanna hummna).

ohhhhhh so pretty

Great scott! I found them and not in denim and they were swell.  Picture to come once M is at work tomorrow since shhhh it is a little quiet right now.

Shoes

I am finding it really weird after all the websites that I have been stalking that I have not found a single pair of shoes that I want to buy. I have found ones that I would love, but only with an endless budget love.

Now these I would not kick out of bed! They would of already been purchased had they not been in denim. Pic Source: Net-a-Porter.com.

And seriously just found these on Foot Candys website. Tory you are killing me with the love for your effortlessly chic summer sandals.  (Pic Source: footcandyshoes.com). Alright now it is bedtime, or maybe not. Hmmm We will see how far shoes take me tonight. Oh sweet dreams.
