I guess we can all thank Gwyneth Paltrow and her hot colorful heels at the Grammy’s for this new trend. And I’m not really complaining. These babies are a great substitute and at $32, you can’t deny them! Too bad I’d probably fall on my face with those serious stilettos. I’m going to have to start practicing 😉
I always said that if my hubs had a band, it would sound just like The Black Keys. Their blue-sy rock is something that the music industry has been missing lately – it’s just plain old fun rock and roll. And we were lucky enough to see them play The Fillmore Sunday night with some really great friends. Their show was absolutely amazing. They just brought it full throttle. Unfortunately, the crowd around us (seemingly only around us) was really young and really annoying. Made us have a few “I’m too old for this shit” moments, but we would quickly snap out of it (we’re cool, we’re hip!). Towards the end of the show, the poor hubs got a killer migraine causing us to have to jet out early, but overall the show was really awesome and I think what made it so great was how genuine vocalist/guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer/producer Patrick Carney were in their performance. Check ’em out if they roll into your neck of the woods!
Up next on the concert front? Mute Math (one of my aboslute favorites) & 30 Seconds To Mars a week from today with some of my best girls! I can’t wait!
I really love dress shopping (no secret on this blog), but I really hate how I often times have to pick the runners up because my favorites for events are usually way out of my price range. So I stroke them a few times, give them a kiss and then set them back on the rack. But I just discovered the site, Wear Today Gone Tomorrow, and I cannot wait to give it a try! The site is much like those seen for purses or even camera lenses – you get to borrow high-end designer dresses at 90% off for however long you’d like and then return them right back and pick up a new one! The lovely Paul and Joe Sister number above is one of the dresses on my current wish list and is only $34.50/week. Best part is I doubt I will need any of my dresses for more than one week as I’ll just be snagging them for special events like weddings, parties and showers. Has anyone used this site before? I plan on giving it a test drive next month so I’ll let you all know how it goes!
