Let’s talk ballet flats. They’re everywhere and never really go out of style. Some are expensive and chic (e.g., Chanel, Tory Burch) others are cheap and cute (e.g., Steve Madden). Personally, I own 5 pairs and every time I wear them it’s the same thing. I put them on, look in the mirror and think to myself “they are cute and classic”. THEN I walk and of my house and as the day goes on I think to myself, “boy I feel short”, “I feel frumpy”, “if I were wearing a heel I would feel 5 lbs. lighter”, these are way too conservative looking”, “who invented these stupid shoes”. I recently watched a show on T.V., a train wreck type of show where it featured Victoria Beckham (queen of style) coming to live in Los Angeles. I like Victoria Beckham and this is one reason why I do. In one scene, when Victoria was asked about her habit of wearing very high heels (she was wearing a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes). She responded that she would never wear ballet flats or any type of flats. I think that, LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WEAR BALLET FLATS AND FEEL FRUMPY!!! Anyway, on my shopping and bopping journey here are the latest finds:
Red Ray Bans – yes, the old fashioned kind that we wore in college and yes I said red.
Check out Sienna Miller.
“I’m Not a Plastic Bag” is now being sold at Whole Foods.
Swatch makes a very hot watch named Full Blooded. Thanks to my friend Nikki, I won’t take mine off my wrist.
Urban Decay has an amazing liquid liner called Pyrotechnics (white). It’s liquid silver glitter liner that is great for evening over black eyeliner.
Fiberwig is new mascara sold at Sephora. It’s a little pricey ($22) but worth it. It really makes your lashes look long, fake, and beautiful. I love it!!
Until next time…
