On a personal note...

You may have noticed I've been a bit quiet for the last few days. I'm going through some rough stuff in my personal life at the moment and have had to neglect the blog as a result. I'm hoping to have my computer back within the week, at which time I'll continue to overload you with shoes, as usual :D

See you guys then!

Bre's Week In Links/Instagrams 7-27-12

Teehee.

This balloon photoshoot Kelsea did made me smile :D

Danielle tackles the super annoying "mompetition" phenomenon. Seriously, it's the worst thing ever. Live and let live.

This scalloped eyeliner tutorial is so cute! This unconventional take on the french manicure is super cute, as well!

 I loved Bonnie's thoughts on the pros and cons of blogging. Sometimes I wonder if I share too much, too little, where the line is or if anyone even cares to see more of my "actual" life. It's tricky :P

Chaplinnn did a tourist's guide to Chicago as she knows and loves it. I've always wanted to go, this makes the want way more intense!

 Twinkie Chan did a recap on Renegade Craft Fair. If I were that little girl she met, I'd react the same way <3

Shoes I coveted this week:
Jimmy Choo "Jet" Buffalo 30cm boots (!!!!!!!) Miu Miu Olympics Collection Platforms  River Island Tartan Sandals  Luichiny "Once Bitten"

What lands people here, haha!

Took Jade out shopping for his 18 month birthdeeee. He was obviously thrilled.

Cookin' and drummin'.

Bein' productive. My secret project is almost done :D

THESE, obviously. SO MANY COMPLIMENTS.

Getting ready for Goth/Industrial Skate w/ Joseph on Wednesday. Was too lazy to go all out :P

That's all for this week! Hope you guys have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday, Lita!

Jeffrey Campbell's insanely popular Lita shoe is 2 years old today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU BEAUTIFUL BITCH!

Knockoff Ninja #12 - ZiGiny "Nevada"

This week we have the ZiGiny "Nevada", which of course is the spiked/studded version of the Giuseppe Zanotti suede wedge.

ZiGiny "Nevada" in Black Suede available at Heels ($244.99), ZiGiny ($229.95)

Privileged "Dressen" in Black available at Bare Feet Shoes ($24.99)

The heel isn't quite as high, but the studs are dead-on, and also pretty similar to those found on Sam Edelman's "Lorissa". Love 'em!

The B/W Striped Chronicles...

...or "The Month in Clothing Scores"! I don't have a fancy camera, and I'm not a very skilled photographer, so my first "What I Wore" -esque post is gonna have to be my bed showcasing all my groovy finds. Sorry :/

I was so excited that all the stores I set foot in this month seemed to look like Beetlejuice threw up all over them! This pleased my inner mall goth and I scored a few killer pieces, of course. LET ME THRUST THEM IN YOUR FACE!

The haul!

1. Candie's striped crochet back dolman available at Kohl's ($21.99)
2. Candie's striped dress available at Kohl's ($36.99)
3. Xhilaration stiped mini skirt available at Target ($14.99)
4. Mossimo striped a-line skirt available at Target ($10.49 on clearance! Couldn't find it online :c)

You guys should see my wardrobe. It is seriously about 30% black and white striped stuff. I'm obsessed, what can I say?

Also got these yesterday! My size sold out immediately when they did the first run back in April/May, but a 7.5 randomly surfaced at UrbanOG! SCORE!

5. Promise "Magi" in Green available at UrbanOG ($35.50) and Heels ($54.99) Caution: Runs big! Order a half size down!

Did you snatch up anything neat this week?

Shoes-day Tuesday #29 - Cap Toes!

1. Qupid "Potion-05" in Nude $25.60
2. Michael Antonio "Louie" in Teal/Black $49.99
3. Jeffrey Campbell "Koons" in Mint $135
4. Wild Rose "Posy-01" in Black $22.60
5. Steve Madden "Bolddd" in Leopard $149.95
6. Jeffrey Campbell "Lita Cap" in Black $165

Cap toes are definitely one of my favorite trends at the moment. LOVE THOSE LITAS! I'm also not totally on board with lucite/clear shoes, but I love the effect of the cap toe ones when they're on the foot. Of course, the "Posy" is a knockoff of the Christian Louboutin "Un Bout" shoes ($795, available in pink and neon yellow :D)

Happy shoe shopping!

Music Monday #36 - The Cure

I cannot get enough of "The Love Cats" this week. Best song ever.

August Call for Sponsors!

It's that time again! Time for me to berate you mercilessly until you come to your senses and sponsor my blog! No, not really. I'm just SUPER caffeinated at the moment, you can do what you want :D

If you remember, I implemented the Passionfruit ad system a few months ago, so the whole process is automated and super easy; no more waiting for me to send you a Paypal invoice! Not to mention ads go up as soon as I approve them, so no waiting for weeks to see results!

In addition to my prices being ridiculously low, I also have a few different options for whats included with each type of ad, so go check out the sponsor page and take a look! I included some stats for you guys as of the beginning of July. My readerbase is small, but it's growing pretty steadily! ;D

Looking forward to working with you guys!

 $850 James Franco switchblade? Uh... WHAT? I could NOT stop laughing after I saw this!

 Best. Hoodie. EVER. This and the Twilight Sparkle hoodie quickly made their way to my birthday wishlist!

 This batch edit tutorial from Kaelah about blew my mind to bits. HOLY TIME-SAVER! Although a bit different in the version of Photoshop I use, this will work wonders for the e-commerce site I've been plugging away at for the past few months!

 THESE SHOES.

 These rainbow pumps from Charlotte Olympia are beyond fabulous!

 Madonna launched a shoe collection. I'm not terribly impressed :c Was expecting something more unique.

 Check out the NY Louis Vuitton storefront for the Infinitely Kusama collection. Awesome!

 ASOS is having a RIDICULOUS sale on sale items through 7/23! Use code 10SALE for an additional 10% off sale items! I've got these shoes in my cart, waiting...

Full of the crazy. My purple faded, so now you can see it better!

Jade being cute. I think it's almost time for a haircut, though :c

Not a ton of pictures this week, but we're taking Jade to the Woodland Park Zoo for the first time today, so expect plenty of pictures next week! <3

EDIT: NOPE. Rain :c Went out and got him a bigwheel instead! :D
