Shoes-day Tuesday #49 - Currently Obsessed
1. StyLuxe "Ninja" in Green $34.99
2. UNIF "MaryChains" in Black $245.00
3. Red Kiss "Rocky" in Light Mint $73.40
4. Privileged "Kempton" in Black $89.99
5. Jeffrey Campbell "Lita" in Oil Slick $176.00
6. Y.R.U. "Qozmo Hi" in Cheetah $90.00
You know when you see something so amazing, you do that sharp inhale/gasp thing? Maybe it's just me; my boyfriend hates it. Anyhow, I totally did that when I saw the "Kempton" by Privileged pop up on their Instagram. HARD. I haven't been so obsessed with a shoe since I first saw the Jeffrey Campbell "Vicious Ex" in Leopard. Seriously. I still don't even have those damn shoes!
All the rest are fabulous, but that goes without saying. I've been loving the Oil Slick Litas, too. Gorgeous!
Which ones can't you live without?

| "DID YOU JUST THROW A BURRITO OUT YOUR WINDOW?!" Machine 2007 (link potentially NSFW) |
On Saturday, Sarah, Haley and I are shooting with the awesome Trevor Locke in North Seattle. It's taken me a while to get to the point of actually wanting to shoot. I used to be super intrigued by modeling, but so awkward-looking in the final images. The last few times have seriously built up my confidence, though, and now I actually have fun with it. Still waiting on edits from the last two shoots, but you can be sure I'll smash 'em in your faces as soon as I get my grubby little hands on 'em!
This past week, I've learned that one of my best friends, Sarah, has an amazing opportunity down in Arizona with her boyfriend, and will be moving in about two weeks.
*insert crushed face here*
I'm so excited for her and her future! But of course after I read her text with that news over and over again, I started to get seriously upset about the fact that I waited so long to finally try and rekindle things (you may remember that story from last November, but if not, it's here). In short, six years ago, we moved in together when we really shouldn't have because we were also working together full time, had a huge fight and 'broke up', as we like to tell people. I finally realized that I didn't hate her about a year ago and AGONIZED over whether or not I should try and apologize. I did this for six months, before finally sending a novel of my feelings over Facebook, expecting the worst. The outcome was more positive than I expected, and we've been almost inseparable since. However, now I'm dying that I didn't apologize sooner. We'd have had so much more time :c BUT she and Joey will be flying up every few months and offered to have me come visit, so this time it'll be a little more tolerable than when I've had friends permanently move away in my teenage years. GAH. Sarah, I'ma miss you so hard. She's working on a blog to document her major life change, so you should all go gawk at that :D
In other, SUPER EXCITING news, on Saturday Terry is taking his drive test. This is so major. There have been so many obstacles between him finally getting his license back the past month (hell, the past six years), that this is a huge relief. He will finally be completely independent for the first time in six years, and I think it's gonna do wonders for his self-esteem. Seriously, I'm so happy for him <3
Anyhow, here's some jpg-y assault fo' yo' face.
Errybody have a Happy Mother's Day!

Knockoff Ninja #40 - Jeffrey Campbell "Lita" part 3!
Speed Limit 98 "Rosa" in Leopard available at My Hot Shoes ($18.00), UrbanOG ($32.50), Go Jane ($33.60), ZooShoo ($36.00)
These are fabulous! A super close dupe. I think I might like it better than the Shoe Republic LA knockoff! What really ties it all together for me is the wood heel. This is quite literally the best I've seen, and doesn't just smack of some hastily slapped-on shoe equivalent of wood paneling or something. The upper textile looks slightly cheap, sure, but that's to be expected. We're talking faux suede, not pony hair, here!
Also available at ZooShoo in White Leatherette, Taupe Suede, and Tan Leatherette!

Bre's Week/Instagrams 5-3-13

| BTS from a fancy shoot this week! |
What's new, though? A couple things have started clicking for me over the past month. I was talking to this girl at that Burlesque Yourself thing last month who also plays roller derby for Whidbey Island Roller Girls. The event was PACKED with derby girls because of a commercial shoot going on after BY for Fast Girl Skates in Greenlake. I was telling her that I've always wanted to try out for derby, but never had the insurance it requires. Then it hit me. Obamacare. I looked more in depth into the Affordable Care Act and discovered that I will be eligible to purchase healthcare in October, however it won't actually go into effect until January 2014. Pleeeenty of time to buy some badass skates and get my skating chops back up to par, then see about joining the local fresh meat team! UGH I AM SO EXCITED that this is all finally going to happen!
So with all that being said, all the money I make from Etsy sales, housecleaning, etc. from now on is going toward a pair of Riedell R3s (which aren't anywhere near top-of-the-line, but definitely adequate for a tiny girl like myself to start out on!), and some outdoor wheels so I can skate around my neighborhood.
CANNOT. WAIT.
If ya wanna help a lady out, you can buy anything from my Etsy, or you can request a custom color (or multiple colors, I have most everything!) hat! It would be much appreciated! Hoping to have skates in my possession in time for summer!
Anyhow, the only other fanciness that has happened was the Fuchsia Phoenix Hair Design/Idolatre shoot last Tuesday, which was a freaking BLAST and I'm so stoked to see the finished photos. SO excited. ANYHOW! I'll quit rambling and direct you to my Instagrams! I've missed a LOT, so I'll just post the best of 'em :D
Thanks for sticking around through the "radio silence" <3
