Princess/Castle.

Between finishing my college education, celebrating my birthday (which my friends made absolutely AMAZING), preparing for the holidays AND my trip to Germany/Prague (I leave Christmas night), I have definitely neglected my blog and getting excited about all of the beautiful things I love in it! But, in a quick update, besides many of the things I was DYING for for my birthday and Christmas, I have had a few lovely surprises in the last 24 hours...

Couldn't find a picture online (my lovely sidekick picture obviously is not good enough) but I got these AMAZING nude open-toed Burberry pumps, originally $800, for $89!!!! No, not a typo. $89!


FINALLY


I realize this picture is barely visible but I am too tired/lazy to look for anything better...
See by Chloe Day Tripper Clutch with Strap in Red Patent as a total surprise from myyy Melissa!

While most probably think the 'Princess' necklace that I share with my cat is a ~funny joke~, the rarely spoken about German side of my family is from the royal line in Bavaria and in a little more than a week I will be visiting the very famous castle built by one of my crazy ancestors... Neuschwanstein, the castle that inspired the Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella Castles in Disneyland and Disneyworld. This is one of the things that I am most excited about seeing in Germany!


I most likely will not have any free time between now and leaving for Berlin in just over 40 hours. For those curious about my itinerary for the next couple of weeks... Berlin December 26-29, Prague December 29-31, Munich December 31-January 3, Frankfurt January 3-5, HOME January 5. Send me your address if you would like a postcard! Happy holidays to everyone, have a safe and healthy New Year! No wastin' time in 2009! Auf Wiedersehen.

TO DIE FOR

These Giuseppe Zanotti boots are beyond words.
They come in black too but I have really been on a red shoe kick lately. Too bad they're over $1K.

Gimmmaay

Birthday/Christmas. I am sure this list will continue to grow...

I'd Rather Go Naked

While it is no secret that I love Kim Kardashian, I do not love it when she rocks the JLo look...

The slicked hair, the fur, the yuck.
That's why I thought it is so cool that her sister, Khloe (yeah... that one...), posed for a PETA anti-fur campaign.

While I do not agree with a lot of the things they do and everything that they stand for, I do love their general mission. Khloe looks really beautiful in the campaign. Check out the video about why Khloe decided to do the campaign (and a lot of other useful information/really sad videos) at FurIsDead.com.
However, I am wondering why PETA has not approached Victoria Beckham to do an anti-fur campaign? She is an outward vegetarian and the epitome of how faux fur can be high fashion. They don't call her 'Posh' for nothing.

If you see her pop-up in the campaign next year, you know where the idea came from.

Sequins!

So I think I am pretty much in love with Miu Miu's Paillette embellished pumps... has anyone seen them in real life? Sequins on a shoe seems like a sort of dangerous to me (wouldn't they fall off pretty quickly?) but they are oh so beeeautiful!

Tis the Season

Somehow online Christmas shopping for others always turns into buying presents for myself? Oh well, I had been looking for a nice carry-all handbag for my trip to Europe anyway!
