I can’t imagine a more perfectly decorated tree!!  The Beverly Wilshire Hotel has decided to buck the played out ornament trend and decorate their Norway Spruce with beautiful pairs of Jimmy Choos.  The entire tree is covered in them and they’re even giving one lucky guest a chance to win a very special Jimmy Choo present…if you can guess the value of the “sh-ornaments” then you could win a two night stay at the historic Beverly Hills hotel, a private consultation with a Choo stylist and a High Heel Spa treatment at the hotel’s spa.

But what I really want to know is, what are they going to do with all of the shoes after the Holidays???

MORE ANNOYING? 

As yall know, I’m a huge Whitney fan but after watching her on The Hills Aftershow in that ridiculous headpiece I’m beyond annoyed.  Not to mention, that scene they showed of Whitney and Olivia at Bergdorf’s meeting Manolo Blahnik where Olivia told us she was a “deb” twelve times, was quite possibly the lamest 30 seconds of TV ever to air.

If that clip is any indication of what’s to come them I’m so over The City…before it even beings.

I’ve recently noticed a lot more celebs are opting for chic eyewear instead of their contacts…and they’re aren’t being shy about it either.  No thin or invisible frames for this bunch!  This crew is embracing their inner nerd and going for heavy frames in dark colors to draw attention to their latest accessory!  If you’re looking for some inexpensive frames, check out the “under $20” section of LBW eyewear for a great selection!  These were my favorite and they have that same thick frame that these celebs are totally loving!!

Ever since Rachel Zoe debuted her amazing Cartier Panthere ring I’ve been obsessed with finding something like it, that didn’t cost as much as a Honda Civic!  And while I haven’t found anything yet, I have come across some other amazing pieces of jewelry that have that same exotic feeling without the big price tag!

To celebrate her 50th Birthday, Barbie will be getting a serious shoe upgrade.

According to WWD, Christian Louboutin will design a special shoe in Barbie “Pantone 219″ Pink and the shoes will debut at a runway show that Mattel is staging during New York fashion week next February. To go along with the shoes- because you just can’t have naked models in pink heels- several clothing designer have also been asked to create “Barbie-inspired” outfits for the show. I can’t wait to see how it all turns out!

… and can I get on the waiting list for those shoes?????

Here’s Vanessa Hudgens taking a break from her very busy schedule of drinking coffee, dating Zac Efron and memorizing her lines for 7th installment of HSM. While I’m not a huge fan of hers, nor do I think she has a very unique sense of style, I looooove the Givenchy Bird Cage Ankle Boots she’s wearing while shopping at Fred Segal.I don’t typically like the whole cut-out boot/shoe look but there’s just something about these that I can’t stay away from. They remind me of a sophisticated gladiator from the summer that I can get away with during the winter months if I just add tights! In case you can’t afford the Givenchy ones, check out these from Go Jane for a $29.99 spot on replica.

There’s not coupon code required on this one…just visit their site and be sure to check out their cute selection of shoes and dresses!

Please bring me these Christian Louboutin Armdillo Striped d’Orsay’s in a size 36 because they were clearly designed with a Texas girl (me) in mind!
