Shoes, Chocolate and Rock n' Roll

Remember that classic bonding game where you ask "What would you rather do..." and the better you know the person, the meaner the choices are? Well, if someone made me choose between anything and shoes, the answer would be quite easy. In fact, my fashion motto should get changed to that consession of words I cheekily placed in the title. And I'm sure many of you agree, are quite easily given the same weight to a fashionista as the original Drugs, Sex and Rock 'n Roll. In fact, that's exactly what it is. Shoes are drugs, chocolate sex and Rock 'n Roll just keeps on rolling.

More than a square mile of neatly organized leather heaven.

The salesman was hard pressed to not wince at the mess I created in the immaculate store, to not follow his itch to immediately pick up the pairs and neatly line them into their place and to make sure the choices were there in front of my hungry eyes. (image by Lua L.)

"We don't sell drugs to school children" More for me, then. Check out the glassy eyes... (image by Lua L.)

Such a cute display...

Essentials

In all colors of the rainbow... I'm not hallucinating.

Shoes in the restaurant bathroom? Sure. Wherever a hit is needed...

The aftermath of shoe heaven coupled with the portmanteau on an unlimited costings spree...

Vestido Elegante

Muito lindo este look da Sienna Miller!!! Sou fã do estilo da moça, sempre trendy e bem boho, mas adorei vê-la assim, clássica e elegante!!!

People and fashion watch in Sao Paulo

I guess we're not all that different... Except from small details here and there. You know, chains as a belt and smiles that must hurt.

HEY BARTENDER

Happy (night before) Halloween!

Tonight I'll be bartending at da Bistro! With or without a costume... I haven't decided on what I'm going to be yet (very last minute)--I had a costume idea, but now I'm not so sure.
I guess I could just stick to my normal work uniform.
Bla (see below).

 My bartending partner in crime: Hawaii and I

After work... who knows what the evening holds, but I can only assume that it's going to be good, fun, all other sorts of shenanigans.

Have a Happy Halloween Eve Everyone!!

Closet Cleaning

Today I took on the brave task of going through my clothes and getting rid of the ones I don't wear anymore. Most people have no problem chucking out their old clothes, but I actually get somewhat attached to mine and don't like to get rid of them, even it it's an item I haven't worn in years.

What my room looks like mid-operation:

I ended up letting go of 31 items, mostly shirts but a few dresses and skirts as well.
Among the cast-offs:
-The vest/jacket that I wore to Vietnam in '08
-The button up shirt I wore the last day of my Freshman year of high school (and haven't worn once since then)
-3 dresses that I bought and never wore
-The Relient K, my one time favorite band, t-shirt I bought a few years ago at Creation Fest.
-My first pencil skirt

Call me a dork, but I actually got really sad putting some of these into bags. *sniff*

Favorite Room

This is one of my favorite rooms in our house,
the guest room.  

This is often the neatest room in the house, the bed is made, and there is no clutter!

I sit in here and pretend the whole house is this way.

Here Not There: Poetrie

Poetrie is a small online indie boutique. Their selection is very small so I haven't felt the need to dedicate a blog to it, but I was checking it out the other day and noticed a few duplicates for my favorite Here Not There blogs.
