LIAR

so that shopping hiatus didn't really last long.

I think I'm going through a mid life crisis. I went out and bought leather pants and dyed my hair blue. It really looks black but there are small streaks of blue in the bottom back where I bleached it out. I need to bleach it more. I don't think most people do that for a mid life crisis. Perhaps I need a sports car?

Anyways I hung out with my sole mate - Tam and we went to the Nanette Lepore store, Saks Fifth Avenue and Loehmanns. I scored some kool digs like a black Rebecca Minkoff knot dress for $124 (normally $300) and leather pants - Philosophy by Alberta Ferretti for $140 (normally $1000). It was fun, my credit card hates or loves me. My bank account hates me. I've decided whatever preconcieved notions I had about being an adult and getting old are just that. I need to seize the day and enjoy life as it is right now. Look great, wear kick ass clothes, take trips and be with the ones I love. If you only have one life, better enjoy, right?

So I'm going to step it up a notch, I mean I can't wear 5 inch heels when I'm 60. or can I?

Shoe hiatus - honest engine!!

yeah so I ended the year helping the economy. I know .. I know, I'm so freakin thoughtful, trying to save the world and all but it's hard to be me.

the presssure, stress... blaa blaa.

anyways I've rewarded myself with a couple of shoes... (I know.. shocker). They are kinda my last 'supper' shoes because I'm going to see if I can NOT buy shoes, clothes or accessories until my birthday. Maybe I will start with a realistic goal like a month then move it up to 2 or 3. PLUS the rule is I can't spend any money - cash or credit cards. But I CAN use gift cards - so it's not like I'm going to go completely without.

I decided since the world is ending (for a little bit) and I'm trying to be good - that I would buy some funky shoes to brighten up my days. So I opted for the below - Zombie Stomper shoes by ironfistclothing.com, regular version are colorful, the other black and white type version GLOW IN THE DARK, and I also got platform pumps with cartoon guts and gore on them (not shown). If I can abstain from buying items for three months then it would balance the three shoes. Isn't three supposed to be a lucky number? :)
