Fergie's Black and Orange Patent Jimmy Choos = Full-On FIERCY!

Honestly, I'm like meh about Fergie. Like, live your life Fergs, I'll live mine, best of luck, whatevs. But I DO EFFING LOVE these black and orange patent Jimmy Choos she just wore to the March of Dimes 34th Annual Beauty Ball in NYC the other night.


IF I could afford Jimmy Choos (I cannot), I'd wear these with some sort of black one-piece jumpsuit, sorta similar to this Free People one, perhaps:

($88, Free People)

Except minus the flowy pant, PLUS the... TOP THAT DOESN'T SHOW GRATUITOUS BREASTAGE.

Hey fwenz! My new fwenz at jb and me -- they're a mother-daughter boutique in Holland, Michigan, and they're expanding their online presence -- are relaunching their WHOLE site and just hooked us AWL up with a promo code for 40% off all original price items. Seriously.

A few things I'd recommend, nu?

($99, BCBG Girls, jbandme.com)

$59 with awesome promo code TAMAR! The mirrored heel is holiday footwear HOTNESS!

($130, Population, jbandme.com)

A VERY Catherine coat. Only $78 with promo code TAMAR!

($148, Free People, jbandme.com)

I love everything about this dress, and it looks like it costs a bathousand bucks! But it's only $88 with promo code TAMAR!

Now have AT IT, ladies!

Tuesday Need: She-Bible Scarf/ Hoodie Top + Free People Jeans!

HAI guyze! Back from cruisin' for a bruisin'! Highlights: family time. Lowlights: family time! JK! (sometimes). More highlights: drinking!

Anyway, missed you SO so, so much to brog about!

But first, let's jump RIGHT into stuff I WANT!

($95, She-Bible, Bonadrag.com)

I LOVE me a dramatic neck AND a top with a banded bottom. And not-too-wide stripes to create a dizzingly slenderizing-ifying effect? YAY!

How cute would this look under a little slim denim jacket or black cropped jacket with some black skinny jeans or even some black wide-legged jeans or your new favey dark jeans? Like so?

($68, Free People, JBAndMe.com)

Perfecto at an even more perfecto price, no?

OKai, more soon, I swearsit!

More Proof Docs May Be On The Rebound (Unfortunately)

GAH! Trend Central is starting to get behind the impending return of Doc Martens! Ugh. If these Palladiums (soooooooo '90s!) are any harbinger, I guess I'd rather go with Docs. Though barely.

($120, Doc Martens, Zappos)

Whatsnextblog.com tracked down these pink lacy lace-ups yet erroneously referred to them at gotta-have-ems. They make me wanna gouge my eyes out. Unless I see them on Hayley from Paramore -- I'm sorry, but she's adorable.


More Doc stuff:
+ Free People pats itself on the back via its blog (!?!?!?!?) for carrying them. Zzz.
+ Docs fired Saatchi + Saatchi London for its some-might-say-tasteless ads depicting dead rockers in Docs. (Um, teeee!)
+ The New York Times already called it a month. Me = late to the party, clearly, but not buying it. I'm still barely able to wrap my head around the rebirth of Keds.

'Tis The Season For Fugs Footwear: The Holiday Edition

Truthfully, the only thing these shoes have to do with the holidays is that it's the middle of the December. Now that I've cleared that up, let's get to it:

($164, Glory Chen, Endless.com)

You don't even need to have seen the inside of this person's home to know that it's decorated in that depressing pastel "Southwestern" Stucco style.

($50, Schuh)

How can just one pair of cheap shoes say so much about unfulfilled expectations?

($470, Bernard Wilhelm, Shopfatal.com)

Remember the '80s? Yeah? Me too. Some things are best left there.

($198, Free People)

Aye caballero. No mas, por favor!


(Apprx $152, Topshop)

Perhaps these "Gladiator" boots were named after the movie, which would explain why they suck so epically.

($109, Type Z, Zappos)

Can whoever took Apollonia's purple suede "shoobies" without asking please return them? She's getting pissed.

($2,350, Christian Louboutin, Net-a-porter.com)

FINALLY! A boot that lets me pay tribute to both "Hellraiser" and "Blade Runner" at the same time.

($78, Naughty Monkey, Zappos)

Sometimes, "knowing when to say when" applies to the Bedazzler too.

Cute Boots!

More boots, please! I'll take one of each, size 8, please!

($659, Chloe, Yoox.com)

These cream Chloe boots only come in a size 6, but they're so hot I'd practically consider foot binding to squeeze into them. Foot binding's the new "going green," y'all!

($248, Free People)

Love these Free People foldover boots -- the wooden heel keeps them from looking like a vintage classic and not overly "L Train" nuevo-mod.

(Apprx $175 USD, Topshop)

Elegantly tough, but not overly "Hey, look, I'm trying to look like I drive a motorcycle"-ish.

(Apprx $154 USD, Topshop)

Purple, but not obnoxiously so.

($27, Lulusfashionlounge.com)

I know I'm like 15 years too old to wear these, but they're still so freaking cuters!


Okay! The Chanukkah fairy cometh, and I'm off to see what s/he has brungeth! Chappy Chanx, y'all!
