They stand when I walk through the neighborhoods.

A long time ago, I told someone that my favorite trend for this summer was anything 1970s. But then I never blogged about this trend. Until now.

As per usual, I am starting off with Jeffrey Campbell.

This is the Spectacular Spectrum Wedge. I thought these were cool -- albeit goofy -- the first time I saw them. Then I heard someone describe them as "1970s gay pride parade, summertime disco." And, that's basically the best way anything could hope to be described. $160

I have also been trawling Etsy and eBay for anything like these:

The pink ones belong to Silly, Innocent Girl.

So far, I have been unsuccessful. Keep your eyes peeled for me!

Comin' in hot.

Well, I celebrated my 21st birthday a few days ago. From what I hear, the party was pretty fantastic.

For my daytime look, I went with sequins and a tiara, as one would do. The problem with this tiara is that it's a little subtle. It doesn't scream "it's my birthday!" enough, so you just look a little weird traipsing around town. Oh, well.

For my going out ensemble of the evening, I changed into a lot of animal print. I have been subconsciously all about animal print these days.

I wore an animal print skirt from Target, a black button-up that I found in my closet, black wedges from Forever 21 and a tiny top hat from the Fairfax High Flea Market.

See, the top hat is animal print!

The way your eyes look into me.

What are you doing to me, Jeffrey Campbell? I should just buy stock in this company. I should be able to earn frequent-buyer and/or frequent-admirer points toward free shoes. Right?

Anyway, here are some picks for the next Jeffrey Campbell shoes I will become obsessed with:

These are the Rally Wedges in black suede. Look at how tall and how glittery. Can you imagine? I could totally rock these... $198.

These are the beige floral Swansong wedges. I don't even like sandals, and I really don't like open-toed shoes. But these seem so perfect for spring/summer frolicking. I think I'd just like anything if it's got a high enough platform. $112.

And these are the 99 Tie Glitter wedges in red glitter! This style has been around for a while. I actually posted about the 99 Zip wedges a long time ago. But now they come in silver, pewter, red and multi glitter. And I may own a fair amount of glittery shoes, but I don't own any that are red. $139.95.

Its cold heart is melting.

It's really depressing to be back in Reno just in time for a snow storm after spending spring break in Hollywood. I had a great week, though. I finished the week up by going to see Jay and Silent Bob Get Old in Universal City.

I wore my new dress from Zara. Somebody had run off with the belt that went with this dress, so I took a different one that turned out to be way too big. We had to poke a hole in it with a Swiss Army Knife.

These are my terrible hotel outfit photos. None of the lights worked in our room. I wore the dress with my Jessica Simpson heels and ended up meeting Jason Mewes after the show.

He was my first celebrity crush. I will always love him.

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:

No one on the corner has swagger like us.

Today was pretty fun. I went to my guitar lesson and drove around town.

Wore my American Apparel 'Le Sac' dress. You're supposed to be able to wear it many different ways, but this is the only way I've been able to successfully execute it. I am also wearing Forever 21 clogs and sunglasses that my mum brought me back from the outskirts of Nevada.

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!

And the sky was made of amethyst.

Today was the debut of my animal-print heels.

The Grateful Dead t-shirt is from new year's 1990-1991, which was the first new year I ever celebrated! And by "celebrated," I mean that I probably slept through it.

Gravity don't mean too much to me.

You have to see this.

I've been hearing a lot about Jeffrey Campbell's Lita platforms, but I didn't particularly care for them... Until now.

They come in silver, pewter and multi-colored glitter.

Well, they're $160 and they're all sold out. But, whoa. Maybe someday.

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.

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.

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.

You can't begin to feel.

I started following Karla's Closet a while ago because I saw her post some really neat shoes. Here is her picture:

They are the Yves Saint Laurent criss-cross strap pumps:

However, I was resigned to admire them from afar until last night when I spotted the Parker Wedge on Alloy's website.

While they're missing the criss-cross strap (which is obviously a selling point for the YSL pumps), they do have that cool heel that attracted me to them. And they come in forest green! For only $32.90, I'd say it's a fair trade.

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!

So manically depressed and manically dressed.

I have lots of posting to catch up on, but in the meantime, I thought I'd post some shoe inspiration. Here are some shoes that I love because they are covered in glitter and/or excessive amounts of dangly things.

These are Prada's spring 2010 "chandelier sandals," which look like something I would have really enjoyed walking around in when I was little. Actually, I'd still really enjoy walking around in them.

I can't identify these shoes, unfortunately, but I love them and I want them. Desperately. Although something tells me that I might be able to buy plain heels and a bunch of shiny decals to turn this into a DIY project.
