I Will Remember a Cupcake Forever

Jewelry: Handmade --- Top, Belt, and Skirt: Thrifted --- Tights: Kohls --- Shoes: John Fluevog --- Purse: Forever21

I got this top at St. Vincent's a while back during a 50% off sale, so it was only $1.64. It's J. Jill, which I know is kind of an old lady brand, but I couldn't resist the awesome stripe detailing on the front, which is actually strips of fabric sewn on the front. Love.

On a more serious note, I'm sure all of you have heard by now that Osama bin Laden was killed yesterday. I'm not a political person at all and like to avoid discussions about politics or watching about politics on the news at all costs. I did watch a live feed online for a while last night, though, because they kept on saying Obama was about to say something about it (I got bored of waiting and turned it off). One of the news anchors, though, said something I found highly amusing:

"American people will always remember exactly where they were and what they were doing when they heard that Osama bin Laden was dead."

While I highly doubt that is true, I did find it funny because right when I turned on MSN and saw the headlines that bin Laden was dead, I was eating a cupcake. So I guess every time someone talks about bin Laden, an image of a cupcake is going to pop into my head. Sweet deal, if you ask me.

So what were you doing when you heard the news?

Seattle Trip - John Fluevog

Hello there, John Fluevog. Where have you been all my life?

Me making dopey faces while trying on shoes while the nice shoe saleslady got the next pair ready for me.

Do these make my feet look fat? (kidding)

Pondering...

The final 3 to pick from...

How will I ever decide?

Winners! Welcome to my wardrobe, you gorgeous shoes you.

The words on the Fluevog window. No, you're weird! I think I must have been in the middle of saying something. Probably asking Joni why she was taking so darn long to take one picture. :)

That Darn Joni James --- Fluevog Shoes

A fellow blogger/Etsian who I have become buddies with left me the most mean, awful comment ever this morning! She had the nerve to leave a link to a shoe website by the name of John Fluevog, a guy that happens to design the most insanely awesome shoes you've ever seen before. "So what?" you are thinking, "Why is that mean?" Because they are expensive! And now I want to buy the whole stinking store. Woe is me!

Just in case you can't tell, I actually do not hate Joni James. She really is quite wonderful, and even though she made me want to clean out my entire bank account on new shoes, I still think she's fabulous.

Anyways, the goods!

I think I would be willing to cut off a finger for the purple lace-up pair.

So if you either (a) have no money to spend, so couldn't buy anything even if you wanted to, or (b) have no soul and don't like shoes so you wouldn't be tempted anyways, you can check out the whole selection of shoes by clicking HERE.
