Vegas Baby!

Just spent some time in the desert last week and I must write about it.  What's with all of the bling??  I have never seen so much shiny, glitzy, over-blingified clothing in my life!  I'm all for a little sparkle every now and then, but this was ridiculous.  Maybe it is the lack of water that makes people thirst for this excess-maybe it's the false perception of wealth that one gets after a good run on a blackjack table.  Whatever the case, it made it difficult for me to shop with any accuracy as the sequins were constantly blinding my vision.  Luckily, I was able to make it out with 2 shirts from one of my favorite stores.  One was an updated version of a drapey, buttonless cardigan that I look forward to wearing with a white tank top and the aforementioned boyfriend jeans.  The other is a long blouse with VERTICAL stripes (not horizontal please, unless you just got back from an exhausting week modeling the fall 2010 lines at Bryant Park) and pockets that will look great with jeans and leggings, belted or not.  Speaking of the boyfriend jeans....I just got a new pair and you won't believe where....TARGET (Tar-jhay)!  They are ridiculously cute and cost all of $40-I know, kind of expensive for Target :) 

Also wanted to tell you about some fabbie shoes I tried on at Nordstrom in Vegas.  They are called Woodies by Jeffrey Campbell and they were cute as hell, but so high that I simply could not walk in them.  For some of you who have more stable ankles than I, these may work.  They also broke my cardinal rule of fashion- "Can I wear them to Kroger?"  Yet I wanted to tell you about them because they are totally awesome and would be a lovely addition to the spring/summer wardrobe of the fashionable and stable-ankled amongst you.
