Two of these were made from a stick of ram and the first one was made from other necklaces. (Photos & post from my iphone!)
Made these this evening
Vlog of the moment – Kandee the Makeup Artist
I haven’t felt well so I’ve been watching a lot of random stuff on the internet. One that really stuck with me is Kandee Johnson’s videos. For lack of a better description, she is so cute and happy! Her makeup tips are good and she can really rock the 80’s look really well (without looking like some sad 80’s throwback – it’s not a look I think everyone could pull off.) Anyway, take a look and hopefully it will make you happy while you learn some makeup tips! 🙂 http://www.youtube.com/user/kandeejohnson

Target – Merona Vilma Suede Peep-Toe Pumps in Black
The photo on their website doesn’t do these shoes justice at all and my photo is only a little better. They are gorgeous, sexy and also simple enough to go with almost anything at the same time. I had been eying a pair of Nine West Bonfire shoes online and these look exactly the same. The only bad news is that there are only two colors in the Target brand (black and grey) and I kinda was hoping for black leather instead of suede.
On top of how awesome they look, they are comfortable for heels. At some point a few years ago I messed up my toe on my left foot and ever since even just trying on a pair heels typically causes a sharp and severe pain in that toe. This pair there’s no sharp pain. I think my weight is more on my heel than the ball of my foot (not completely but more than most) AND the sole of the shoe is rubberized so your not sliding ALL over the place. They are 3.5″ heels so they are pretty high and I can’t say these are walking shoes but I am REALLY happy with this purchase.

Very cute and also functional – although not functional for me because I don’t live in NYC. Only $25 though so I may be tempted to buy one anyway. 🙂
Ahh Paris…
So I have TWO fashion related photos from my trip. I would have loved to have gone to more stores but I think I would have just been disappointed if I found something I liked because I didn’t have the cash to spend on super expensive clothes. Yes, there are certain pieces that are investments and worth splurging on but I mostly bought chocolate and Swiss wine (went to Switzerland too.)
First my really bad photo of some Louis Vuitton shoes that I snuck. They flipped out on my mom for taking a photo of their display of toys from the 50’s related to space travel so I can’t imagine what they would have done if they had noticed me taking a photo of shoes.
There was a dress I really wanted to take a picture of but there were WAY too many sales clerks around that one. And then a black jacket that had a ruffled collar that I didn’t think I could get a good photo of because it was black on black and I was using my iphone…
This next display is not Louis Vuitton though I can’t remember what the store was. I thought it was funny:
Dries Van Noten shoes
I have wanted these shoes for a long time but can’t bring myself to fork over that much money for a pair of heels I will rarely wear (I love the look of heels but even the most comfy heels bother one of the toes on my left foot after more than 2 hours.)
Sorry to the ebay seller I nabbed the image from – the other place I’ve seen these shoes with good photos is Sea of Shoes’ blog but I think it’s got slightly different beading – I don’t remember the big stone on that right shoe (pictured on the left.)
I’ve been mentally trying to come up with a way to convert a pair of flats into something that might look similar but it’s going to take me awhile since I’ll have to find beads and do the hand beading myself (I don’t think I can get a cobbler to do that part of the project.) And no, I will not be copying them exactly.
