omg, shoes.



i'm in that kinda mood...

there inlies the problem. down time = online shopping... which eventually equals less money, more shoes - meaning more shoe boxes, meaning less room in my room... but overall... the keyword in that is *more shoes*!

I don't know when i became a shoe girl... i never used to be. I blame Sex & the City Movie. Damn that Carrie Bradshaw with her impecible style, lack of spending morals & fabulous taste in shoooooes. Granted, i'd be spending a weeks pay on ONE of the beautiful Choos she'll prance around in.

My current favourite on the Jimmy Choo site are the Jazz pumps in Leopard at a "friendly" $795 well, pounds). I've never seen Carrie wear these, but i'd be willing to bet that she would! SPJ probably has them... lucky bitch.
There are the fan-fuck'n-tastic Dior Extreme Gladiator Sandals, which were wicked hard to find, but eventually i stumbled on them- $780, eek!
&... the current amaze-balls of all pumps.... THE shoe... the fairytale ending, cinderella "satin" slipper shoe... The Something Blue Satin Pump by Manolo Blahnik that makes everything right in the world (well, at the end of Hollywood movies anyway). The shoe that leads to sex in a walk-in closest (that should be a cocktail). They come in at $945... *no big deal* (as i choke on the insane cost of these little luvlies.)

but like i said... this little dreamer is going to have to take a walk down cheap knock off lane... where the prices are reasonable, the shoes are uncomfortable but the look is good (unless i happen to walk into Bryant Park on the best week out of the year trying to pass as a Fashionista Know-it-All. (ill be sure not to)... So i have to go for "good enough"...

OF COURSE i went & picked shoes that are almost impossible to find online in cheapo knock off form (or, i may just not be as good of a Detective as i thought i was!)

The best i could do...

Knock off Choo

No, i know.. not even close... i tried.... sorry...

Knock of Dior

Neither of these are exact. If these two shoes had a luv child, that shoe would probably be closer. Both shoe has the same idea though... plus, you could buy almost pairs and still have money left over for some band-aids.

Knock off Manolo

Ok, so the first one is pretty damn close!!! It might be a bit pricier than the rest, but the closest option i can come up with other than those hundo-sixty four beauties is buying something along the lines of the $16 ones, finding two matching broaches and a nice glue gun... (good luck with that one!)

Well... there ya go... shoes, shoes, shoes...

tid bits

My bestie, Novelista Barista told me to fill out this little survey after i said that i felt i wasn't writing enough about myself on MY blog. silly me. So, here's just a little bit to get to know the wonder that is Spanky. :o)

I'm also going to start posting a lot more about life & less about the finer things (aka my Material World & Superficial Powers)

Eight things I look forward to:

  1. This weekend
  2. Getting my car back
  3. Going to Ireland (hopefully) next year w/ my bestie jennifer
  4. Moving out of my Parents house!
  5. Having more followers & a successful blog!
  6. Seeing The Ugly Truth with yum-monster Gerard Butler (July 24th)
  7. The day that I can afford to spend my money on some new clothes (pre-planning fall wardrobe)
  8. Getting Skinny!!!

Eight things I did yesterday:

  1. Dealt with the complainers of the Entertainment world (aka, went to work as a CS Rep)
  2. Had margs at Viva Zapatta with some girlfriends (mango marg in mason jars... sounds poetic)
  3. Caught up on some Tivo
  4. Ate some Spinach & Broccoli Marg pizza. (yum)
  5. Drank 2 Red Bulls within 2 hours (peppy!)
  6. Read some of my current book, Edie: American Girl. (it's pretty good!)
  7. Bitched & Moaned about the humidity and the lack of time i have to do anything.
  8. Wore a brown dress with a pretty necklace (& parted my hair WAY to the side for a change.)


Eight things I wish I could do:

  1. Move. I'd like an apartment in NYC, a Brownstone in Boston, a Beach House in Nantucket & a House in Cali... to start.
  2. Fill a walk-in closet (like Carrie in Sex and the City).
  3. Have a clothing line.
  4. Read faster so that i could get through my books faster than 1 a month if i'm lucky.
  5. Freeze time for everyone but me. It'd be nice to have the ability to stop time for days to get to sleep, catch up on TV, write, read, & just be w/o deadlines, time & people bugging me!
  6. Direct a movie of my favourite book Weetzie Bat.
  7. Meet a nice guy (wow.. i'm surprised i didn't think of this until #7... oo, lucky number 7!)
  8. Have flawless skin & no split ends.

Eight shows I watch:
  1. General Hospital
  2. Greek
  3. Weeds
  4. Entourage
  5. Real Housewives
  6. 90210
  7. Gossip Girl
  8. Top Chef
I hope you all enjoyed knowing about my days, my dreams & my day dreams... oh & my day time soaps.. haha
