Boot review.

The Coach "Natale" boot arrived today (mentioned here), and I was extremely disappointed with them!

While they were gorgeous, they were made for anorexic women with very flexible ankles, short and narrow feet, and no calves.  I have large feet (9.5-10) so I will admit it is tough finding zip-less boots that are easy to get into, but these were just ridiculous.  I would have had to break my ankle to even get half of my foot inside the foot area.

These will be going back!

For you ladies who have similar issues, a couple zip-less boots that I have found recently that are easy to get into despite having larger feet and average calves:

1. Chinese Laundry "Trust me" OTK boot
2. Steve Madden "Intyce"

My faaavorite boot is the DV by Dolce Vita "Ted" but I believe it's unavailable everywhere.  Sad face :(  I have it in brown but want it in black now!

Most bloggers I check out own the Intyce boot, so I feel like it's very universally flattering.  It wasn't super flattering on me because it hit my leg at the the wrong area, but maybe if I try them on again I'll like them?

Current music obsessions.

1. Far East Movement - "Rocketeer" feat. Ryan Tedder

I have to support my fellow Asians!  Doin' it big in mainstream America...

2. Rihanna - "What's my name" feat. Drake

I'm normally pretty annoyed by Rihanna songs, but for some reason I enjoy this one.  Must be the beat/music.

3. Calvin Harris - "Love for you"

The thing that made me ABSOLUTELY love this song was this ridiculous performance by a ridiculously talented dance crew from the motherland, Japan.  Watch them.  Have your mind blown. It's the first song in their performance.

4. The Temper Trap - "Love lost"

I just love the singer's voice!  The video is also kind of adorable.  Who can resist sad, chubby children being forced to run until they vomit?

5. Sara Bareilles' entire Kaleidoscope Heart album!

She is so amazing live!  Proud that she's a fellow UCLA alumna :)

LOVE this.

Read the story behind this sweet video documenting a couple's elopement/marriage day, and then watch the video (or just watch the video only, heh).  Maybe I'm just hormonal, but I couldn't help tearing up out of joy for them.  Also, the song they used was perfect--I think I'd like to walk down the aisle to it.  I'm not very into the traditional bridal "march down the aisle" song!

I'd love to do something private and casual like they did, but I know my family wouldn't be super happy with an elopement.  Maybe I can just do a destination wedding so I'm guaranteed a small guest list with only the ones I love.

I realize that I've had a lot of wedding posts lately, but it's difficult to avoid when all of the blogs I read (even if they are DESIGN blogs) have some wedding topics going on!

By the way, follow my blog with bloglovin!

Light up the sky.

Just some of the many reasons why I want to have an outdoor reception.  Thank goodness I live in LA!  But, knowing my luck, it would rain on the day of my wedding (even if it's summertime).

Funny greeting cards.

I love humorous greeting cards.  For almost every anniversary/holiday/birthday I've bought some kind of dumb card, and I'm sure Darryl is the only one who appreciates them (other than myself.)

Here's one that reminds me of something I'd do (the "SCREW YOU!" response), and also of my driving behavior.  I have massive amounts of road rage...
