I’m not even going to pretend that I’m not obsessed with my new sneaks. I won’t. I would wear them everyday if I could. I mean, I basically do. I feel like a way more gangsta version of Dorothy in these and if I clicked my heels I’d go straight to badassville. And yes, that is a real place. I nearly passed out when I saw these shoes online and then a few days later I had wandered into Michael Kors and out with these. I have no idea how it happened but it’s the best thing that has happened to my shoe collection since my platform Vans in ’00. I kid, probably since my gold Etta’s. Yes, I love gold. Sue me.
Studs? Check. Gold? Check? Blinding amazingness? CHECK.

When I wear these amazing pieces of craftsmanship, I usually try to keep the rest of my look more neutral and this herringbone sweater and toggle coat is a great way to say “I’m casual, but I like to party”. If you think you too cannot pull off this look, you are mistaken.
And like, it’s okay, we can all be jealous of my hair in this one. Honestly, it’s the cut. Rachel is amazing and you ALL should go to her.
I promise I’ll do some fancy hair tutorials in the New Year so you too can have hair like this. Trust me, it used to be an afro. And then one time I cut it all off and cried the whole of the 7th grade. I blame my mother even though it wasn’t her fault at all.

I am dying over these shoes. I absolutely love them.
I know and love those sneaks, just like I know and love your luscious locks.
Those kicks are awesome. I need to find someone that can make my hair look that fabulous 🙁 I haven’t found anyone worth sticking with in Chicago!
Love these pumped up kicks! This Christmas, Converse sneakers are on my wish list but I may need to revamp my expectations after this post.
Isn’t That Charming.
Only a few ladies could actually pull those off! They’re gorg! I have a friend who would diiieee for these.
I can’t deal with sneakers at all (unless they’re for running, I look dumb in them), but I like those! Mostly because they’re shiny!
But really, I came here to talk about your hair. Rachel did such a great job! It looks beautiful!
Okay model!!! And yes please teach me your ways!!
Yes please – I’ve been waiting for hair tutorials for years now. You’re casual, but you like to party.

I love those shoes! I’m not usually into metallic shoes and I couldn’t even describe what makes these different…. but I really do like them. Those sunglasses are super great for you, too.

You’re a gangsta Dorothy, that’s just… the best identity ever.
Your posts always make me crack up. I love the shoes, asics needs to take notes so I can wear something like these to the gym
These shoes are amazing!! And your hair….
I think I may be in love with your a-ma-zing sneakers 🙂 They’re totally awesome!!
those sneaks are badass. I’m always down for an incongnito meets “I’m always ready to party” look. Nice work.
