Daily Wardrobe Diary: Joanna Hillman

Harpers Bazaar editor Joanna Hillman = major lady boner.

The poppy red lips. The perfect long side braid. The amazing mixture of textures and prints and masculine tough with feminine delicate. AND OMFG she always has THE of-the-moment sunglasses, boots AND purses. In my next life, I want to come back as her fashion sense.

In this life, I'll settle for drooling over her 30 day fashion diary on Harpers Bazaar.com.  Hoping it gets extended into a yearlong diary. I think we could all use a daily dose of inspiration in 2011.

How to Wear Red Pants: Ugly Christmas Party

I've been loving the idea of red pants all year. But in reality, it's a pretty tough look for us non-model human types to pull off. And don't even get me started about how pricey Balmain and Isabel Marant leather versions are.




But recently I remembered I had a pair of red pants in the back of my closet. Bought them when I was about 21 because the sheeny material read as leather. Cost $25 at most but I would wear them out clubbing back in grad school and think I was the shit. Was SHOCKED when I slipped them on and they kinda fit.



They were the perfect thing to wear to Lauragami's Ugly Christmas Sweater party. Paired it with a bunch of clashing greens and reds and stripes in my closet---resulting in a symphony of sophisticated, 80s FUGS. 

Knew I had to bring it since Lauragami's friends always know how to rock the fugs! 

Especially love the shout outs to Hanukkah this year. A+

Mr. Diabolina didn't want to wear my "where's waldo" striped scarf...at first. But once hot chicks started telling him they loved it, he loved it. That slut.

Next year, he'll have the perfect outfit for all holiday parties and  his milkshake will really bring all the girls to the yard. Behold the gag gift he got from his sister. Yep, Ralphy's bunny outfit from Christmas Story!

And you thought the hat from the video was cute ;)

My New Valentino Studded Lizard Heels

So Mr. Diabolina knocked it out of the fashion park with my Christmas present this year.  Here he is telling the story. Yes, I may have gotten him liquoured up enough to do a video. One day he'll thank me for capturing his cutness on film.






Amazing shoes AND boy, right????

I'm one lucky bitch.

Year In Review: 2010 in Shoes

2010 was quite the eventful year. 

A new job, new adventures and new friends.

And apparently, I amassed NINE pairs of new shoes along the way.

1. Miu Miu

2. Prada (resale)

3. Alexander McQueen

4. Chloe (resale)

5. Saks Fifth Avenue

6. Elizabeth & James

7. Bakers

8. L.A.M.B

9. Topshop

Love each one of these pairs of shoes more now than I did when I first laid eyes on them. And that's my challenge to you in 2011: buy shoes for the life you want. I feel like the life you want materializes once you have the shoes you want ;)  Kiss!
