Kurt Geiger "Fashionistas" Shoes

I was scanning the Fashion Police and came across this post about Kurt Geiger's new line.

I'd never heard of Kurt Geiger before, but I went to the website with all of the shoes and fell in absolute love. They are crazy fabulous. Netting and gemstones and metallics, oh my!

Look at that fabulousness. That little sploosh of netting and those button/disc things.I. Want. These. Yellow and the discs and the netting...I love these soooooo much.
These are just architectural and the print is hella cool and I loooooove them.

If you love them as much as me, you can check out the full collection here.

Wish List

So, I constantly have a running wish list. Things I want but most likely will never buy. Here's the current rundown of what I want.
  1. ASOS Heart One Shoulder Top I want to buy this because: I love anything with hearts on it. I love Victoria Beckham even though I feel like I shouldn't. If something has a belted waist, I'm pretty much guaranteed to love it (slims my curves). I love the way the hearts are layered and creep up the shoulder. Why I won't buy it: I'm cheap. $57 (or $56.96) is considered a splurge to me. Plus there will be a ridiculously high shipping fee (I find it suspicious that they refuse to tell you only until you have "confirmed your billing address").
  2. Unisex Nylon Spandex Micro-Mesh T-Shirt in Pop Purple I want to buy this because: I think it's a really cool look to have that colored mesh over a neutral tank top. It's really versatile because you can wear it in a ton of ways. It could possibly be very flattering. Why I won't buy it: I'm morally opposed to American Apparel on grounds of it's overpriced hipster-ness. Plus, two trillion girls at my school shop there, so someone's bound to have the same thing.
  3. BCBG Gage Open Toe Kitten Heel Pump in Rose Gold I want to buy this because: I love metallics. They're so shiny! Plus, that rose gold shade is gorgeous! It's the perfect kitten heel. Thick enough, the right height...it's wunderbar. And, I'm really feeling the open toe. Why I won't buy it: Again, I'm cheap. $99.99 is a lot, even if it's marked down from $198. I feel like I'm paying more for the label than for the actual design. Also, ordering shoes online is risky because they may not fit, and then you have to pay to return them and blah-de-blah. And I like to take time before I order things and there are only 2 pairs left, which puts a ticking clock on things.
  4. Trashy Paige Shoes I want to buy this because: Look at them! Polka dots, a bow, that covered heel, the shape of the heel, the peep toe. They are gorgeous and perfect and I love them. Why I won't buy it: 4 1/2 inches is pretty tall, and I already have one pair of shoes that high. It's difficult to walk in bitches like that. Then again, they are like perfect in every other way.
So, there you go. I think the list from most likely I'll buy to least likely I'll buy is 4, 2, 1, 3.

Anyway, hit you back with the blue lipstick post, part 2!

Roses are red, my lips are blue.

Okay, so that's like the worst post title ever. But yes, I'm going to buy me some blue lipstick. As I am an unashamed America's Next Top Model addict, I will admit that it was originally inspired by the photo shoot on this week's makeover episode. It was this weird concept where they had to hold weird light sticks and then "find the light." But anyway, the hair and makeup were rock inspired, and "Fo" (real name Felicia) was wearing blue lipstick. And she rocked it. So now I really want blue lipstick. I did a little Googling and I discovered that, hey! the Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2008 runways showed some blue lipstick.
Here's the original photo of the picture that started it all. I could only find one in this tiny tiny size, though.You can't really see it, but she is wearing the most fabulous shade of blue lipstick. Anywho, I'm thinking about buying this MAC lipstick (or a cheaper one in that same/similar shade).
So, when I buy it, I shall post my first outfit post. Except it might not actually be an outfit post. It might just be a neck-up post. But it might be an outfit post, too. Who knows! Anyway, stay tuned for the unveiling of this wonderful purchase I am going to make.
