SHOE ME THURSDAY ♥ WHITE PATENT

White patent leather pumps are probably one of my most favorite shoes to own and wear. Especially after they've been worn a lot and start to get f---ed up and look more punk rock than luxury. I had a pair that were perfect by Stuart Weitzman. I wore them until they were too messed up to wear. I mean, they started to rip on the sides even. But they did look perfect when I'd wear a pair of dark skinny jeans and a vintage shiny lurex top. I'm missing them so much and it's really hard to find the right style. So I'm wondering if these Starlet 100 Pumps by Brian Atwood could take the place of my oh-so-loved SW's. The only thing is the heel. My Stuart Weitzman's were definitely at least 4 inches tall. One site says the Starlet is 3 inches and the other says 4. I also can't tell if they are truly patent leather. But they do look pretty close to the ones I loved. I still have them. But I hope to replace them soon. Because once you get used to white patent leather pumps, it's hard to let them go.♡

WEDNESDAY BAG ♥ PACO RABANNE'S le69


This is what dreams are made for. If there was a cool-looking chain-mail (or maille) bag from the late 60s (1969, to be exact) that was carried by the most iconic IT-Girls ever (like Brigitte Bardot and Françoise Hardy) and made by a really posh Parisienne fashion house (and Spanish designer), that would be rad, right? But now what if Comme des Garçons had decided to re-issuing it for a limited time? How hot would that be? Well, it is a reality. The chain-mail metal Paco Rabanne "le69" bag is available again through Comme des Garçons! I LOVE this bag and I LOVE the name of the bag! 

SO HOT. THAT IS TRULY THE PERFECT SIZE BAG.

There will be slight variations from the original...I guess Rei Kawakubo wants to be her own twist on them and you can only get them at SELECT CDG boutiques globally. They're priced between $1400 and $2200 (USD). This bag is insane. If you can't be one of the luckies and get THE le69 bag, then perhaps you can find a faux vintage one. This bag was knocked-off like crazy back in the day. That's why you see so many chain-mail vintage pieces from the 60s and 70s. So don't fret. You'll be able to snag something similar even if it's not the cool one from Paco Rabanne!♡

But I really love love love the spring collection and it's available to buy! These pieces are more amazing in person.

MAKEUP MONDAY ♥ JK MAKEUP SCHOOL

I already know what new lip colors I'm going to rush and buy. I've actually been looking for a sheer but full of color kind of lip thing for a long time in real spring-y colors. And it's pretty hard sometimes to find the perfect colors and sheerness. The new colors for spring from Jemma Kidd Makeup School, which is a brand I often use and love...for the product and packaging, has some LOVELY newish lip products. Especially the HI-SHINE HYDRATING GLOSS-STICK in three colors, though all the colors looks amazing. 

I'm interested in HOLDERS...which looks like a gorgeous sheer bright pinky color....


and...HIBISCUS....which is very coral-y, I think. It looks gorgeous on the lip...that I do know...though you can't really tell from the photo...


And then dunno if I would get the next one which is PARADISE because it's very orange. I think it'll look amazing like the girls did in that Prada show a couple seasons ago when they all had side-parts and bare eyes and bright lips. I have olive skin. So not sure I can wear it, but it looks amazing.....


I'm going to be doing a bit of shopping soon since I've been working so hard. It's time to get my shop on. I'll give you all the full report after I'm done. Looking to pick up a good black gel liner, too. I used to only really like a ton of mascara on my eyes. But lately I feel like it's time for a change. I'm doing a lot of new things I haven't done before. It's time to go for it a bit more. And I'm going to pick up some other goodies, too. The Jemma Kidd Make Up School lipsticks are available here . Have fun...it's a new year. It's time to GO FOR IT. 2010 and prior were kind of heavy times. I think we all need to lighten up and have a lot of fun!!! (PS...you can see the Pixiwoo girls show these colors on one of their videos...I love watching the Pixiwoo girls...good makeup tips and product reviews.)♡

And...just for fun:
