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!

Shoes 2 Eat

Whenever I go to The Met the first thing I do is go to the 'Costume' section of the book/gift shop. I always find something amazing and yesterday's trip was no exception.

Vintage Shoes: Collecting and Wearing Twentieth-Century Designer Footwear
by Caroline Cox

About 25% of the shoes in there made me think "thank god I didn't live then", about 25% made me almost have a heart attack and die because I was so in love, and then there were a few things in the book that were just SO INSANE/amazing! Like the "Shoes to Eat" collection by Tokio Kumagai.

The meat one (above) was the only image I could find on the internet, but the collection was definitely really cool, and if you are in a book store I would suggest checking it out.

Within the museum I was excited to (finally) see Willie Cole's sculpture "Shine":

OK I am obviously obsessed with footwear but this piece is just really amazing when taken into the context of his work and I just find it very visually appealing. And while we are on the subject of shoes, there are a few FLUORESCENT Christian Louboutin's out right now that I am honestly so obsesssssed with.

Christian Louboutin C'est Moi shoe boots, $825


Christian Louboutin Privatita platform slingbacks, $795

Oh and I stumbled across this AMAZING picture that may or may not be the story of my life...


I REALLY need to make my Christmas/birthday ~wish list~. Really.

Defying the Laws of Physics

Kim Kardashian: your hair, makeup and body are like gifts from the Gods. Do not understand.
How did she somehow get even better looking just by cutting her bangs? I want this hair NOW.

Of Course

As we are all well aware, I am completely into any reunion or comeback tour, particularly those that are 90s based. So obviously this morning I bought tickets for Britney Spears / Pussycat Dolls. At first I was going to buy the best seats but then realized how stupid I would be to spend so much money on Britney Spears so I ended up with mezzanine, whatever. Anyways, while everyone else is concentrating on Britney's comeback, I am far more worried about still loving the old wholesome teenager who dated Justin despite his habit of using a full bottle of Dep hair gel every single day, who made googly eyes at her cousin in her first music video, who wore full-on matching denim outfits with her boyfriend at the time, who had an innocent yet adorable rivalry with (the much better singer) Christina Aguilera, the Britney who I went to see in ~concert~ approximately 8 times in a three year period (and I am not exaggerating)...


Looking back, the track suits/jerseys were never a good idea... but then she turned into a total bombshell...

And well, we all know what happened next. But the inner teeny bopper inside of me wants her to do amazing and I am just keeping my fingers crossed that this is not a total I-Wanna-Be-Madonna-show, because if there is anything I HATE in this world, it is present day Madonna. Oh and Britney Spears/celebrities whining about how terrrrible her life is, waaah wahhh wahahahah.

Sweatin like they up in saunas

Matt showed me this video a little while ago of some guy doing a "remake" of Lil Wayne's 'A Milli' about Obama and it is still really funny and amazing:

I could definitely watch it a thousand times in a row.

Oh and since the Killers' new album (Day & Age) came out I have pretty much been listening to it non-stop. Both this album and Sam's Town the first time through I was kind of ehh about but the more times I listen the more I love it. And it doesn't hurt that 1. their lyrics since Sam's Town have pretty much been entirely based around Las Vegas, and 2. uuuhmmm, I am completely in love?:

Now if only everyone in the world would stop misquoting them...

Thanks Mich

Since Michelle bought something on Gilt Group after I invited her, I got some free credits in my account so I obviously had to buy something(s) when the sample sales went up this afternoon.
