The moon went up, and I went out of my head.

I finally found the Jessica Simpson Dany shoes on sale. I almost got them in metallic silver, but I figured that black would go with everything. I really dig them.

They're really high, and the heel just seems really gigantic, heavy and sturdy. If I hit somebody with that, they would be going down.

This is also the first time I've worn my ridiculous Rob Zombie socks. I'm still pretty mad at him for canceling his Reno show, but I guess I've got to move on with my life. I really liked this look. If I had on a little black dress, I'd be ready to go out on the town.

If Rob Zombie is distracting you, this is what they look like without the socks:

Another year over.

Welcome to my first post of 2011! I've been watching the Twilight Zone marathon all day, and I have two new pairs of glitter-covered shoes to share with you. (I'm sure there are not many people that would be able to say that.)

I got these at Off-Broadway Shoes yesterday and then wore them out for new year's eve celebrations. They are very excellent. I anticipate wearing them to class this year.

AND FINALLY.

My Jeffrey Campbell multi-glitter Litas came right before Christmas. Oh, man. They are beautiful.

Check out that glitter-tastic reflection.

These are the most fabulous shoes ever. And everyone is right: they're completely comfortable and easy to walk in. And they make me over 6 feet tall. Woo!

Happy new year!

Fueled by filth and fury.

The semester is over! I am having the time of my life-- watching John Waters movies, staying up all night and eating junk food. It is excellent.

I bought some new boots at Charlotte Russe yesterday because they were having another fabulous sale. I can't take them off. They are fantastic. And only $20!

Kiss me, you animal.

As you (should) know, My Chemical Romance's new album just came out! I went down to the mall to pick it up today at Hot Topic. No shame. Well, okay, a little bit of shame.

While I was there, I was coerced into buying a pair of ankle boots at Charlotte Russe. Actually, it didn't take much coercion. They're fabulous.

I would also highly recommend the album. Excellent purchases today.

If I can change, I hope I never know.

I spent an excellent Halloween weekend in LA this year!

I got this new dress at the Fairfax High flea market on Halloween. I also bought the neon yellow nail polish that you can faintly see.

I wore this with my nude heels and faux leather jacket to a family friend's birthday party.

The envy of the everyman.

It occurred to me that it had been a while since I bought some new shoes. I have been working quite a great deal lately, so I thought I had earned some.

I really liked these T-strap clogs from Forever 21, so I made a point to swing by today.

Shoutout to those pink socks again, too.

I ain't evil, I'm just good lookin'.

Tomorrow I'm heading out to see the Murderdolls, Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper in Universal City! And, as if the fates are conspiring to make this really awesome for me, the delightfully Satanic shirt I ordered came in the mail today.

I couldn't be more excited! I am going to have to put a shawl on while going through airport security, though.

Couldn't be more excited!

Saccharine.

I made a weird impulse purchase today. I went to the grocery store for some dinner and got completely derailed when I noticed that they were setting up their Halloween display. Needless to say, I came away with a couple of necessities. Like these:

I happened to be wearing these socks, and I thought it made an altogether neat look. Even though these were intended to go with some "sexy" Halloween costume, they completely deserve regular rotation in your wardrobe. Don't you think?

Are we still okay?

Recently got some new shoes. I do this all the time. Because I love shoes.

There was a "buy one, get one" sale at Charlotte Russe (my favorite), so it was clearly fate that I came away with two new pairs of shoes.

And I also scored some plain black heels, which I thought was a good investment.

I would also like to share a bit of dialogue from RuPaul's Drag U that I related to--

Raven: Do they hurt?
Linda: Not yet.
Raven: Then you need a higher heel.

Tomorrow's cancelled.

A couple of updates today! Here is an outfit that I wore a while ago:

My mum recently gave me this Who t-shirt, which I wore with my American Apparel pocket skirt, red-and-black flats and my heart-shaped glasses.

I also got some new shoes from Forever 21 that I love!

And I changed my hair, too. How exciting!

It's escaped your world.

Atop my list of necessary items to buy this season were nude heels. I had been seeing them all over the place.


These leather pumps are $90 at Aldo.


And these suede Steve Madden pumps are $89.

However! I managed to find these at Marshalls for a mere $30:



Mission accomplished, if I do say so myself.

It makes a fiery ring.

My theme for March is using Photo Booth to photograph my accessories while wearing a heavy metal t-shirt. Today, I'm posting about the rings I've been wearing as of late.

I made a point to run out and get the gold two-finger cross ring for three dollars at Forever 21. And then I found myself at the arcade, spending my skee ball winnings on a plastic dollar sign ring (and a purple slinky, but I digress). When I put them on together, it looked like I was making commentary on the relationship between capitalism and Christianity in American society. I suspect Marilyn Manson would approve.

And this is the only other ring I wear at all. Why wear jewelry if you're not going to make a political statement, right?

When the heart guides the hand.

My heart-shaped glasses arrived Saturday afternoon (all the way from Hong Kong, apparently)!


These pictures are not the highest quality, but the sunglasses are exceptionally cool. I was slightly concerned that these would look too Marilyn Manson on me, but if I had been worried about that, I probably should have stopped a long time ago.


Yeah! And, I miss spring break already. I hardly knew ye.

Glitter, you're my lover.

It's a good thing I have such a terrible shopping addiction because I always have fabulous new shoes to write about! The latest being:

I now officially own two pairs of shoes covered entirely in glitter... Awesome! I had my eye on these Forever 21 glitter boots for quite a while, but I decided to go for it this weekend and they arrived in the mail this morning. It's really fun ordering things online for me because you get to open the package like it's your birthday. I was concerned about them because I didn't get to try them on and, since they were on sale, they can't be returned. But they fit marvelously, look fantastic and are quite comfortable.

Success!

Eternal and infernal.

Hey! As promised a short time ago, here is my most recent shoe purchase:



They're fabulous studded ankle boots! I had been lurking them on the Journey's website for a long time because, although they were on sale, I was hoping they'd go on sale a bit more. But, by the time I went down to the actual store, they weren't out on the shelves anymore. Luckily, though, I knew exactly what they were called and who made them (due to the website stalking, of course) and someone was able to find them for me. I can't wait to wear them for real.

And, this has been a Quick Shoe Update. See you soon!

Get up, get-get-get down.

Alright! As I have been promising for weeks, without further ado, here are the crazy shoes I recently purchased (no regrets!):


You may recognize these as the Jeffrey Campbell Alexa wedge booties that I mentioned in my last post. They are tremendously comfortable despite not looking it at all, which really characterizes my favorite type of shoes. I try not to wear outfits out of the house without being willing to experience a crazy emergency situation -- up to and including the zombie apocalypse -- in them because you never know what can happen on a night out on the town.





I hope to get a chance to post again soon, but classes at my university have officially started as of today. Also, it's snowing again! I am displeased with this development. Anyway, I'll update [hopefully] very soon!

Walking tall.

For many months, I have had a huge thing for wedge booties. As you know, I desperately love outrageous platforms and heels, so these are right up my alley. It all started with the Acne wedges:


Upon seeing these shoes for the first time, I came to the conclusion that they were (a) unbelievably attractive and (b) out-of-the-question expensive. However, I was not deterred as the style became rather popular and many more options surfaced. Observe:


These are Dolce and Gabbana/suede/even more expensive, but they're not thoroughly bad-looking, right?


I then noticed these Jeffrey Campbell 99 Zip Wedges that were dramatically less expensive. Now we were starting to get somewhere.



These are called "The Dancer" by Illex Kinni, although they are not my first inclination when thinking of dancing shoes. However, they are fantastic and I really love the blue lining and little side bows. Tempting, I must say.


And then, when all hope was nearly lost, I stumbled upon the Jeffrey Campbell Alexa wedge booties. Why, Alexa, has no one told you that you are a dead wringer for the Acne wedges? And far, far less expensive? And the answer to my prayers?

Let me just say that I may have purchased one of the aforementioned pairs of shoes. And I do not regret it because I love them, they are fabulous and we all are entitled to a few extravagances now and then. ♥♥♥

I will post photos of them very shortly!
