Self Portrait

Everyday i say to myself, "Lola...take a pic of this outfit, Lola. Blog about the fashion Lola."

Then i realize that i don't yet have a camera man, and then i abandon ship. Well f#ck that.

Self pictures are better than no pictures!

So here's me, day one on my quest to see how many ways i can come up with to take these self pics.

shirt Loro Piana, skirt Alexander Wang, belt Zara, shoes Vera Wang Lavender

Here's a close up of my shoes which i love because they are sooooo comfortable!
Also, meet my latest acquisition:

They're the blood red Sam Edelman Novatos. Yesss!

There's much more, but its not as fun taking pics of clothes when they're not on...maybe i'll bring out my dress form for u bitches. ;-) I finally gave in and bought a huge Elizabeth and james cocoon shrug that i've admired for months and an Alexander Wang cape. They're too amazing not to post!

...Until then...

Wild Thang

So yesterday at the mall a few of my friends and I were craving a snack after we had lunch. Naturally they headed into Dylans Candy Shop, and i headed into Bebe right next door. We clearly have different perspectives on what a post-lunch snack is.

They came out with bags of chocolate, i came out with a bag of shoes.

Meet my new acquisition:

I call her Nina. Shes a beast. Since I'm a M'uh fuc&in Monsta that's a Monsta shoe!

I also got a hat for vacay. Yesss...

I'm getting ready to hit the city right now because I've been so disloyal to Soho in terms of my sporadic shopping. See you guys tonight with another episode of Lola's mergers and acquisitions.

By the way have u guys noticed that i am back to using capital letters? Not capitalizing is too unnatural. Not that it matters.

Mergers & Acquisitions

im prepping for my vacation, so i took a gander at the offerings at saks and nordstrom. i went in looking for a simple pair of flip flops. i came out with all of this (smh).

Take a look at my most recent acqusitions voyeurs:

so i started off on track. i'm usually not much of a Tory Burch kind of girl, but hey; they're flip flops.

i got these at saks. when i have them on you can't see the burberry print so they're actually not all that obnoxious.

here's where things started getting out of hand...

i don't own a pair of rainboots soooo....

i've been stalking these from the time i saw them in the Nordstrom February catalog so i satiated my thirst.

and then came the sams....mmmmm....

i have them in the black leather:

but the nude are pure sex, and sex sells, so now i own them times 2.

i also got these cute little Betsy Johnson shades, but then i realized that Chloe and Michael Kors have a better version, so i think i'll go back for those instead.

shout out to chase for modeling for me xoxo

i now have about 20% of my shopping done and i'm leaving on sunday. :-(

i've got lotsss of work to do.

...sorry again about the camera phone pics...

2 x 2.25.10 x Re-do :-/

Ok. This project 365 is harder than i thought. So lets start again, shall we?

I'm in the process of a life makeover.

First, I'm single (all my single ladies!).

I danced to that song at the club for the first time the other night. I loved and hated it at the same time.

Second, my career is kicking into high gear.

Third, 'sall good. ;-)

Here we go. Again.

Today it snowed golf balls and I, like a silly goose, wore cute shoes.


These shoes were NOT made for walking (in ice). Still, I stumbled my way out of the Tribeca lofts and into the abyss where I wanna be.

I was an emotional wreck all day, and this came tumbling out of me...


I push front,
He falls back,
Two bodies braced for an attack.

I fall back,
He leans forth,
Spits nasty words to hit the source.

His blow connects,
I cringe in pain.
Now,
Things will never be the same.

My wounded mind says run away,
My wounded heart still wants to stay.

I push front,
Then I strike back.
Choose red words infused with facts.

He turns his face,
He didn't know.
His guards fall down like midnight snow.

I sense the breach,
As he falls back.
Again I tense for the attack.

Here we stand,
He and I.
No more secrets, no more lies.

I feel the moon has come to stay.
Forever midnight,
So ends this day.

As we fall back,
Into the abyss,
We reach for eachother,
But our arms miss.

I fall back,
As does he.
Falling to places we don't want to be.

"Are you there?",
I call into the night.
There is no answer,
We've both lost this fight.

"Where are you love?"
He shouts to the air,
There is no answer,
Forth comes the fear.

I am scared to face the dark,
He fears our love has missed it's mark.
But every darkness becomes light,
This cold dark night will soon be bright.

I fall back,
I let it burn,
Though for his comfort I sometimes yearn.

He moves forth,
In search of day,
Although Sometimes he'd like to stay.

I push forth
He falls back
We watch the fire fade to black.

A love is undone,
But hearts do mend,
We fought until the bitter end.

Already though,
I'm so ready to go,
Towards this beautiful tomorrow.

Its been a while since i played with words. I missed it.

Until tomorrow voyeurs.

How To Rock The Thigh High Boot

Ugg & Jimmy Choo To Collaborate

To our dismay, Ugg is set to smear the reputation of the impeccably fashionable house of Jimmy Choo with its oversize fur obnoxiousness.

According to Fashionista, the two mega-brands are set to collaborate on a set of boots ranging in price from $595 to $795. The collection should debut this fall, and will be sold in Jimmy Choo boutiques, Ugg stores, online, and select department stores.

While the Ugg brand will definitely benefit from the Jimmy Choo brilliance, the relationship appears to be extremely one-sided. It's smart to capitalize on the Ugg mania, but the high fashion shoe brand is nonetheless slumming it with this collabo. (Plus, Ugg-Choo sounds more like a sneeze than an all-weather uber-fab shoe hybrid.)

We are so not looking forward to the day when Jimmy and Ugg have a baby. Are you?

Back

I know. I've been slackin on my mackin.

Sorry.

As it were, my hub gave me a treat...in the form of some extra play $ (thanx baby), and i up and lost my damn mind. But now its done, so i'm back. :-/

Here's what i bought voyeurs:

Betsy Johnson Tisha boots

A stam bag

This Camera/a memory card/a charger/ a usb stick card reader/extra battery

A muh-fuckxn Wii...Yea Yea Yea!!!!!

This bag

2 Hello kitty watches

& a bunch of random shoes:

I bought just about all of it on Ebay, which i love with all my heart. I'm usually not an e-bay kinda gal, but i have a 2 month old. Its winter. There's snow on the ground. I breastfeed. Mall? Ha.
Plus i relish in the delight that the UPS man brings. Ooh la la...there's nothing like ripping open fresh cardboard boxes...
Ebay holds its own though. I got everything at pretty good prices. Make that excellent prices.
There's no therapy like retail therapy.
I'm done with the binge shopping...got my proper fix...
Once the rest of my packages arrive i'll be sure to model and snap them for you...
