In Need of Glamour @ 1:38 PM
So it happens every now and then that I need a serious shopping therapy trip. I rarely get those, first of all because I'm usually broke as a joke and second because I need to do it alone. I HATE shopping with people! The only person that has the tolerance to keep up with me is my mother but I think she gets kind of fed up with me as well. Ever since I gained all this weight with my last pregnancy shopping is alot more difficult and frustrating for me. I wish i was born in the era of cinched waists and glamour galore. I love the drama, the ruffles, the rouge lips, soft waved hair and all around femininity of those days. I'm a big fan of black and white movies and musicals. Vintage fashion always has a way of showing its influence in everyday fashion trends and the feeling accompanying it is just so fabulous to me. I was definetly born in the wrong era, I've always thought that. Its funny that I should love all this stuff so much considering thats its the complete opposite of who I am.
The women were so beautiful and always looked so glamed out:
Maria Felix
(everybody thinks I was named after her but alas I was not)
You can't bring up old hollywood glamour without having Marilyn pop in your head. She embodies everything about the old look I love so much.
I love seeing how they incorporate the old glam into the new glam:

12 Days of Christmas @ 11:05 AM
Day #9:
Every girl needs a pair of classic black pumps in her wardrobe and what better shoes to have in your closet then a pair of Christian Louboutin declic leather black pumps?? I am not used to wearing very high heels anymore, to be honest with you they KILL my flat feet but hard hitting designer fashion does not always mean pleasure without pain. I love these shoes, the smart and sophistcated look will match anything you pair them up with, whether it be a pair of leggings or a pencil skirt and the high stiletto heel will lengthen your legs, which is a big plus for lil' me. These particular shoes are last years model and I have not been able to find them again but I had originally seen them on

12 Days of Christmas @ 11:13 AM
Christmas is fast approaching and my wish list is growing. I miss shopping, I mean stupid shopping though. The kind of shopping where you just go from store to store and just spend, spend, spend. Nowadays I can't buy anything for myself without feeling a pang of guilt and end up putting everything back and walking out empty handed, whether it be at a store or online. Do you ever do that? Do you ever window shop online? You fill up your shopping cart with all the things you like, let that bill rack up and then when its time to checkout...WHOMP WHOMP. You press that big red 'x' at the top right hand corner. I've always found shopping to be therapeutic, helps me get my mind off of anything thats bothering me and it makes me feel good. It's my happy pill. So I will be putting up some of my "If I Had Money" christmas wish list items so I can have somewhere to just come back and stare at them *pause* *hangs head and walks away*
Day #12:
OK so I have some serious thunder thighs and am short but I can definetly picture these stretch-leather leggings by Kiki de Montparnasse with some sky-high hidden platform heels to add length to the legs and definition to the lower body. They go for a cool $850 at
http://www.shopbop.com/ and its funny but I've never liked to buy leather clothing but this season I'm just lusting over so many leather items, most def a must have this season.
