Vending Machine Revolution

Ladies.....
I bring to you... Afterheels – a small shoe with a natural material waterproof outer layer that biodegrades in the same time as an oak leaf, and a soft, protective flock-lined insole made from locally sourced and manufactured recyclable #5 polypropylene. It conveniently fits into a clutch or purse, so you can have it with you in case of emergencies. The best part is it comes in a variety of outfit-matching colors, and include a duffel bag for carrying home your heels.
I'm a firm believer that every venue NEEDS one of these!! making heels and such not so terrifying!! Ladies... it's time to lobby!! 
(although I'm one step ahead of THIS game as i already carry a set in my handbag) lol

Pointing out the OBVIOUS!!

Sarcasm. Pretty much one of the best things around!! 

Fashion... Pretty much one of the best things around!!

Sarcasms+Fashions= one good fricken time!! 

And with that....

Beacause that is what it is!! 

The 'Sarcastic State of the Obvious' Merchandise by Mash Creative is one of those things that not everyone CAN wear.. but everyone will WANT to wear!! 

You can't wear a sarcastic Tee if you are a sweetie... i'm sorry. I don't make the rules.. i just pass them along! 

But not to fear. If you aren't sarcastic enough to sport a tee shirt... grab yourself one of these.

OR one of these...

HA! in any event grab SOMETHING from this line and wear it proudly and, of course, sarcastically!!! 

ps.. HELVETICA! because what else would it be??

take apart boots

I love options!! the more choices I have, the happier I am!! 

From dipping sauces to clothing articles.. i love things that are able to be taken apart and mix and match and all that jazz. With that said... Bring in the Boot!! The Creative Recreation Moretina boot that is.... just take a looksie my luvs... 

That's three different pairs of boots in one, making packing for a trip a breeze!! 

now... if you're gonna be transforming things... it would be a CRIME not to mention the Michael Kors convertible gloves!!

yes friends another 1,2,3 punch from the ever evolving Kors line! and for $150 those short.. medium... and long gloves can be yours!!

I love nerds too!

I'm not an out of control Hello Kitty fan by any means... and i maybe own two or three HK things....
but i have to admit.. not only do i think that the below tote is adorable.. you very well could see me sporting it in the near future!! 

Now if you ask me, the tote is quite enough for adorableness, but http://www.loungefly.com/ has an entire series dedicated to the love of nerds!! lol

The Hinge Wallet.

The Scarf.

The laptop Case.
and of course no nerd collection would be complete without a

It's Good for my heart...

Steven Shawn Sherrod {1/12/74-10/05/2009}

Everyone loses someone at some point in their life. Sometimes the loss is bittersweet and sometimes it's devastating.  It's been over a year now, and i still find myself struggling with the loss of a very good friend and how to overcome this pang of emptiness I feel everyday when he crosses my mind... because he does cross it everyday! So i figured if i could get a little bit off my chest... maybe the hole in my chest won't hurt seem so big...

Golly, where to begin... i guess at the beginning seems as good a place as any!!

Steven and i met when i was working in my aunts restaurant/bar and i saw him walk in one night and i was was struck by his confidence and self assurance... along with his stellar good looks of course! He was bigger than life and i was immediately drawn to his charismatic self!!  I was only 16... no 17... and he was 22...no 23 lol ... we didn't actually MEET until about a year later...  but from that moment on, i looked forward to his coming in to the restaurant when i was working...

Steven saw me into adulthood with love, advice and a big brother sort of protection; never satisfied with what i was doing because he knew i could be so much more. Good Lord, when he heard me sing for the first time i thought he'd have a coronary on the spot talkin about how i needed to "do something" with my talent. Ironically it will be only months after his passing that i will pick up a mic and hit the stage, singing one of the favorites we always listened to.

He always used to say that no matter where we were in our lives we'd be sitting on the same stools in the same bar sitting side by side still enjoying each others company and getting on each others nerves!!

Everyday i think of something he said, something we did, someplace we went... and that all too familiar lump in my throat reappears and i have to swallow back the memories and remember that one day we will meet again... well that's the theory anyway. I love you, i MISS you, and i am still a little lost without you..... xoxo my luverly...

F. Y. EYE!!

Eye wear company J. S. Boathouse is bringing to you some very unique pairs of  sunglasses that are not just durable and limited, but also phenomenally fashionable!!! And there's NOTHING that i like better than some Stunna Shades!!  Also.... there are only 300 made, so you aren't going to be seeing these all over... stealing your stellar style! :) Yes, you can see out of them!! 
xoxo

oooo Tom Ford...

Anything Tom Ford or Black Orchid is winner in MY book!! So the combo HAD to be shown!! 

The limited edition Black Orchid Trio will include the much-buzzed nail polish in a gorgeous deep plum, a matching shade of Black Orchid lipstick repackaged in a black and gold case, and a shimmering solid perfume in his sultry Black Orchid scent. Super luxe meets femme fatale with a hint of goth?

i LOOOOOOOOVE IT!! xoxo
