I'm not crazy about the fact that these boots have a red sole, since it makes it look like a Louboutin knock off, but I liked the style of the boot, so I didn't have much of a choice.
Next project, this necklace....

idle hands are the devil's workshop
So, I did a lil' DIY project the other night and studded these boots. I had planned to do the entire boot a la Christian Louboutin, but I couldn't reach my hand in properly with my tools to get to the front of the boots, so unless I find a better tool, the best I can have is the top half. I think I'm gonna add a few more to the front, its a little scarce there.

Praise Alaia! Shoegasm of the Week!
How dope would it have been if this was the shoe that journalist threw at Bush...get it? Allah? Alaia? Ok, apparently I'm only funny to myself. And you know what? That's just fine.

Ahhh, I remember being 10 years old and salivating over my mom's best friend's collection of body hugging Alaia dresses. She never had a daughter, only sons...Maaaan, can I get some vintage hand me downs please?
In case you weren't aware, this sudden bandage dress craze was actually huge in the 90's, and even though Herve Leger gets all the credit Azzedine Alaia was the originator. He's amazing and truly underappreciated.

SIA
I saw a post about her on Kanye's blog last week, and after watching this video I was hooked. I bought the c.d. and I love it and its been on heavy rotation in my car. I suggest you pick it up (along with Lykke Li's c.d.)

in.spir.a.tion
(I'm going to add a permanent disclaimer on the site, but I will say it here too, I get my pics from all over the net, I will put an effort to try to save the pic with the site or source I got it from, but often I will forget. I am constantly saving pics so its gets hard to keep track. If you see one of your pics and want credit for it or want it taken down, please contact me. I don't do it on purpose, I just dont always remember. Thanks!)

Day.Off.
My objective for today is to stay in my robe in my bed for as long as possible. I'm just going to look at blogs, catch up on emails, plan the week ahead and get up only to go buy a pair of sequin leggings I've been obsessing over.
If I can accomplish all this, I will consider it a very productive day.
Objectove for tomorrow: Get through defensive driving school without stabbing myself with a pencil.
Pray for me.

We Don't Believe you, You need more People....
"I have no plans to leave American Vogue now or in the foreseeable future," said Vogue editor Anna Wintour to the New York Observer as she was walking out of the Plaza Thursday morning.
Out with the old, in with the new. I want this to play out the way "The Devil Wears Prada" should have ended.
Bring Carine to American Vogue! I need the possibility of a run in and daily paparazzi shots to fill me with inspiration and glee.

Currently Obsessing Over...
-Parisian interiors and Parisian Living
-The idea of moving back to NY for a while
-Carine Roitfeld
-Apparently, Ballet flats, because I litterally bought 5 pairs today.
-Norma Kamali's line for Wal-Mart (of all places)
-Leopard everything (I think that's a lifelong obsession)
-Belgian choclates from Trader Joe's (to die!)
-Finding fabulous new fashion blogs
-Dirty Martinis (shaken, not stirred)
-Homemade cheese quesadillas (I have to stop)
