Wish List: Boots

I have been on the hunt for a black boot that is short and flat for what seems like forever.  So far, these two are my favorites.  Is it too early to create my Christmas list?  I would think so but since Target is now filled with Christmas trees, perhaps it is okay.

Just Thinking

Just a few thoughts this morning:

I REALLY wish I was in London.  I am one of those crazy people who is obsessed with the Olympics and I cannot stop watching.  

I have become a victim to Winexiety, the anxiety that sets in the morning after drinking wine.  I have had friends that this has happened to but never me.  And giving up wine is not an option.  Getting older can suck sometimes.

August begins tomorrow.  That leaves 29 more days of summer before the kiddos go back to school.  I am still trying to figure out where July went.

I set a rule in the house that there is to be no video games or TV on in the house from 10am to 5pm.  Great rule but is now getting in the way of me catching a moment to get anything done.  I don't care what people say, television as a babysitter just so you can get the laundry put away is totally worth it.

Back to the Olympics, it is REALLY nice to see my sport get so much attention.  This house is filled watching, discussing and playing every sport my hubby has ever played.  For once, my children think swimming is cool.

My little brother has left for college and has only confirmed that one, I am older than I think I am and two, I am going to be a mess when my kids go off to college.

On the note of my age, I will be 34 in a little over a month.  Regardless of getting older, I LOVE my birthday and still get excited for it.

I really need to get out of bed but don't want to.

I have such a fun weekend coming up that I want it to start.  Is it Friday yet?

I am dying over these Jimmy Choo's.  Suede and sparkles are a fabulous combination.

 

   

I Won!

Hello Jimmy Choo Aimee Pump.  It is nice to meet you.  A few weeks ago I made a bet with my hubby.  What did I get if I won?  You!  He was so convinced he would win that he was willing to place this large bet.  Being that this was over a pair of INCREDIBLE shoes, I felt that I had the upper hand.  Seems my determination beat out his and I am happy to report that you will now be an official member of my closet, just in time for Spring!  My hubby is pissed as much as I am excited.  Lesson to be learned here?  Never make a bet with a woman when it involves a pair of shoes.  She will always find a way to win.

UPDATE: I have already received some comments on what the bet was so here you go.  Two years ago my husband went out and bought a gym quality rowing machine.  He was obsessed with CrossFit at the time and was "going to use it all the time".  Fast forward and the thing sat in our bedroom, HARDLY used.  When we were moving, I told him I wanted to get rid of it because it was a waste of money and took up space.  He said absolutely not, he was going to use it.  I told him fine, but if he did not use it at least twice a week from February until April, I would get these lovely Jimmy Choo's.  He said DEAL because he was so convinced that he would do it and would never have to get the shoes.  He was actually doing a great job until this last week.  By Wednesday I realized that this was going my way and could I have said something?  Sure.  But why would I do that?  By the end of the week, I had won and he was not happy.  I think he will think twice before placing bets like this again.    

Neon, Jimmy Choo Style

Perhaps it is the day and a half of rain we got here in The OC (rough, I know).  Or that I am simply tired of the drab colors of Winter.  Whatever it is, I am absolutely loving the neon colors of Spring that we are seeing everywhere.

This past weekend in LA, my friend and I were drawn into Jimmy Choo simply because of their windows. Bright colors were everywhere!  Absolutely gorgeous neon color.  Some people feel that it is just too 80's, but I think that as long as it is done in moderation, it is a fabulous 2012 twist on a lost trend.  Neon, I welcome you back wholeheartedly, especially when you have partnered with Jimmy Choo.

These are top of my list.
I cannot say no to orange and I would definitely rock these all summer long!

My friend picked these up in black and they are even prettier in person.

They had this in every color and I would be hard pressed to pick which one
I loved more!

I love seeing a classic pump spiced up a bit!

Wish List: Black is NOT boring!

Happy Monday Everyone!

To kick off the week, I thought I would share some fabulous "wish list" feet jewelry (also known to normal people as heels) that I would love to add to my closet. These absolutely prove that even though a heel may be black, it can still be AH-Mazing.

Brian Atwood Lolita Ankle Strap Sandals

Miu Miu Knot Front Suede Pump

Jimmy Choo Private Patent Leather Sandal

Lanvin Cutout Heel Pump

The sad part of these is that they will actually have to always stay on the wish list for me *sigh*  I can handle being 6'4" but there is no way I am going to pull off 6'5" without falling over.  I know my limitations.

I think I just heard my husband's bank account cheer....
