We have to confess. We have always had a shoe problem. We’ve been cursed with wide-ish feet and high arches, and finding comfortable shoes is nearly impossible. We realized this weekend that we have no normal/weekend shoes. We were shopping with our wonderful, lovely mom and we were definitely wearing gold ballet flats with jeans. We don’t wear sneakers much, and sometimes boots are just too much trouble. So, our ‘normal’, every day shoes are these gold ballet flats. We must note that we’ve been doing this far longer than we’ve known who Amy Winehouse is; we apparently just have similar taste in shoes.
However, we think that we would like to wear gold shoes all the time. It’s fairly neutral, and we haven’t yet had an instance where we’ve felt out of place for wearing them. And who knew there were gold shoes of all types? Here are our favorites!

I’m not about to get all sanctimonious to get brownie points for featuring charitable fashion-related news. However, Marni’s charitable idea is an endearingly cute one that simultaneously solves the problem of what to wear with my stash of Muji/Uniqlo drab office skirts that I accumulated during my uni temping days and also what to buy as last minute X’mas gifts for a few people.
Marni’s association with printed art on clothes is taken down to basics by presenting childrens’ self-portraits from all around the world. Children from Columbia, Tibet, India, Guatamala and Brazil were asked to doodle their self-portraits and six of the drawings have been selected to be printed on men’s and women’s t-shirts available on the Marni Virtual Store.

Short and Sexy with everything in the right places - the best way to describe Fergie in the little black dress.

We love turtleneck knit dresses in the winter. They can be worn for both day and night looks with just a quick change of accessories.

During the spring and summer months, regular pedicures are a must. You can get them done professionally or you can do them yourself but you just can’t leave the house in sandals without one. That’s not just my opinion, that’s fact…don’t do it. The only thing worse is wearing those clear stripper heels with your toes hanging over the front. So after many months of wearing lovely reds and pinks my nails get a little yellow. I don’t use color on my nails in the winter because, well I’m lazy. So I like to winterize them by soaking them in lemon juice. It will take out all the yellow and make your nails look clean and healthy. Soak them for about five minutes in the lemon juice. I follow it up with a warm soapy water soak. Then I exfolitate and slather in a nice thick lotion. There you are, all ready for winter.

- Oh, Christ. There is going to be a Sex and the City lingerie line by Cosabella as a tie-in with the movie. Predictably, there will be four mini-lines, named after each of the four main characters on the show, meaning the “Samantha” line will be for the transgendered? Excellent. [WWD, 1st item]

In an essay from today’s Salon, staffer Sarah Hepola laments the tyranny of her enormous ta tas, a size which she calls “34 ridiculous”. “I am embarrassed by my knockers,” Hepola writes. “And the fact that something I am embarrassed about is the first thing people notice about me? Well, that kinda sucks. I feel like I could save a baby from a burning building, I could cure cancer with glitter alone, and I would still be referred to as ‘Sarah, you know, the short one with the big tits.’”
Sadly, Hepola is so terrified to go bra shopping that she puts it off for years. And although her trips to NYC bra meccas Town Shop and Orchard Corset were successful in that she found bras that fit, they didn’t exactly make her feel like a sex goddess — most of the bras looked like they could be used to “parachute out of a plane.”
