Shoes: Burberry

I love me some rain boots.

I hate it when I find a pair of shoes that i JUST have to have because they are too darn HAWT HAWT HAWT!!! I will be taking a little vacay to Seattle early next year, and a friend who lives there suggested that I be prepared with some rain proof gear. Excellent! That just means I have an excuse to go shopping. But I'm already suffering financial repercussions early in the game. Other than looking at getting a North Face jacket cuz that's such a northernly thing to do, I plan on decking out my gross feet and a majority of my thick calves in some super hawt looking rain boots: aka GALOSHES. Nordstrom is EVIL! Too bad my friends uncle doesn't work there anymore. BOOO!

Holiday: Halloween 2007

I love dressing up for Halloween. I didn't think I would be celebrating this monstrous occassion this year, but a few friends were down at the very last minute. My bf and I spent our Friday night perusing the mounds of available yet ordinary and significantly thumbed thru costumes at several different stores. As usual, I was happy with nothing.

My personal costume rules:
1. Absolutely no hoochie-ness. I want to be as unsexy as possible.
2. Nothing that 95% of people will be dressed as (so no transformers this year!)
3. And a big plus if I can somehow create what I want at a fraction of the price.

Verdict: Success!

One thing in common at most of the stores we visited: christmas items! As unbelievable as it may seem, all stores are now selling christmas everything. Christmas is a completely lucrative season for these stores. I guess the earlier they put this stuff out, the more moolah they make. But that's not the point. So the bf and I are mulling over what we're gonna do for a costume and then I see it! I want to be a SNOWMAN for Halloween. YES YES YES! The bf however wasn't completely sold on the idea. I think he felt it would be embarrassing walking around in some gigantic costume with people asking and being confused about our choice of costume.

Anyhow, we didn't end up going to some stuffy club. Instead, we crashed a friend's friends' house party. And the bf decided to improve on simply being a snowman and went as a ninja snowman.

Shoes: Uggs

I love me some Uggs.

My personal rules of fashion:
1. It's great to be different and have your own thing going on.
2. It's also ok to to see what you like and be a copy cat.
3. Last season? Who cares! I likey ... I wear.
4. It doesn't match? Even better!
5. Even though I'm chubby, I'll STILL wear stripes ... PROUDLY!

So although the whole Ugg craze has died down, I still absolutely love the pair that I have. It's raggedy and it's been through the salty ice slush of Chicago ... but it survived! When the Houston weather witnessed its first cold front, I couldn't wait to put them on and strut around town with them! And as I was perusing Nordstrom's online shoe section (the main reason why I know I really am a female even with my butch-like demeanor), I came across these Ugg boots that I just could NOT take my eyes off of. I really really like them! I even bugged my boyfriend about getting them for me. But he said no before I could even finish the second g in the word Ugg ... Boooooo ... so now I just get to sit ... and look ... Oh how happy I could be if I were rich.
