warrior queen

"I'm gonna lace up my boots, throw on some leather and cruise down the streets that I love...in my fishnet gloves.
                                                                                         I'm a sinner."

Who doesn't love a good pleather short? When properly paired, and skillfully acessorized, faux leather can look really quite lovely - the perfect combination of class and kick ass.

if the shoe fits...

You know the old saying, "If the shoe fits, buy it in every colour" ? Well if that were the case, I would have spent a pretty penny this past weekend. During my weekly run to Winners, I stumbled upon (aka scoured through the less than appealing mess that lined the shelves) a few items I believe to be winners (pun intended). 

I found these bad boys a few months ago in a nasty black pleather material, and decided they were a big 'no-no'. More often than not, cheap shoes look cheap. I'm no deal-finding guru, and sadly I don't think I'll ever be. My mum always told me that it was better to have five or six nice things, than 10 yucky cheap ones. And with the exception of my Forever 21 binge trips, I seem to follow mum's logic. But these faux snakeskin stack heel lace ups, were looooovely. And a great price! Now I'm wondering what my reason was for not buying them...



And finally, we have the shoes that stole my heart.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Gwen Stefani L.A.M.B blue suede stilettos...

Please ignore the incredibly tacky sticker marker... So sad...

These shoes are gorgeous. Stellar colour, great material, fantastic design. 
FAB-U-LOUS.
Only downfall? The pricey price tag. And the fact that walking is next to impossible...
Oh the things we do for fashion...

love xo

im blue ba-ba-di-ba-ba-dye

Okay, let's be real for a minute... Does anyone really know the words to the late 90's Euro-Pop hit I'm Blue by Eiffel 65? Much like the appeal of Ed Hardy, I gonna chalk this up as another unsolved mystery. 
Over in this part of the world, it's been raining, pouring, the Steve Madden espedrills in the back of my closet are snorrrrrrring! Beautiful shoes deserve to be worn and shared with the world! I do believe it's time summer sprung into action and stayed a little longer than a week. 
As I close the closet door on my pretty little wedges, I turned instead to the colours of my nail polish for a little pick-me-up. I decided to go with the Justin Bieber for Nicole by OPI in My Superstar, a fresh turquoise colour that always does the trick.

Horrible clean up job :S
