I've been such a bad blog-friend....

I have been neglecting the blogspot.

Someday I'll get back to it but for now, check it out: weekendwarriorette.tumblr.com

sophie theallet for nine west!

I am feeling a little bad for the "hot or not" post on those Aldo boots - sorry Aldo!

The diffusion line in today's post, Sophie Theallet for Nine West, is without a doubt gorgeous - I love almost everything Sophie Theallet does so it's only natural that I love these shoes! 

Not to mention my love affair with layered stripes and the complexity of the fabric.  I've never special ordered shoes before, but I may have to make an exception with these!

Any readers out there, do you have advice on styling printed flats?  I have a few pairs and I'm usually tempted to wear black or all solid colors to temper the brightness of the shoes.

awesome or ugly? i can't decide.....

I can't tell if I love these Aldo boots or if I think they are ugly.   So I'm turning to you, internets: what do you think?

this club has everything!

Bill Hader's Stefon is my favorite SNL character since Wayne and Garth.  I lost it when Bill Hader did the Stefon mannerisms to describe the barista in Chelsea - and now I am totally wondering if that barista knows that Stefon is based on him. 

"So, what are we having today?"

OH BOY.

....and a stuck up kitten who won't sign autographs!

happy valentine's day!

My best friend, my sister and I are all newly engaged, so I think this might be the best Valentines Day there ever was - all happiness. 

Sure beats the time in college when I ate half a bag of Reese's peanut butter hearts and watched rom coms on my couch with my cat!  Although you know what?  That was fun in its own way, too. 

In my defense, the aforementioned best friend and all my other girlfriends studied abroad during the same semester while I did a summer abroad program, so it was a semester of solitude.  Which, if you have ever been in Michigan in the wintertime, can get pretty desolate, so rom coms with your cat is the rule and not the exception. 

Am I sounding any less like Kathy the comic strip?!  I sure hope so!

another one that got away

Another one to add to the list of amazing dresses that got away!  This one was perfect!  I spotted her on etsy last night and even sent the link to my sister.

I should have bought it immediately! 

I'm sure the smart ladybird who bought this will wear it nicely.... and now it has a permanent spot on my mental list when I go to vintage shops.

GORGEOUS, no? 

if I had a million dollars....

If I had a million dollars, I'd do (yes - do - plan vacations, trip around the world, build a school for girls a la oprah) a whole lot of things.  I would also buy these perfect chloe boots!!!

I saw them in High Gloss Magazine (on page 55) - have you read High Gloss?  It is pretty good stuff - today was their big launch!  And already I have found the most amazing, way-out-of-my-budget boots!  I'd say that is a good start for a magazine.
