My friend Tiffany Wendel has mad style.

And she's happy to help you curate your wardrobe with the same perfection and straight up coolness that she brings to hers with a good ol' fashion closet make-over. That's not all.  She'll style outfits for you, take you shopping, pack for a va-ca and even do this all cyber-style (since she lives in Seattle).  She'll meet you in NY or LA for a shopping trip but if you can't do any of this…check out her daily fashion blog for wardrobe inspiration.

She's bad ass.

Em necklace

My necklace.  A story of multi-taskin.

Up early giving a bottle to le bebe, watching the Joan Rivers doc  (brilliant. you'll feel like a lazy shit after watching this) on my iPad and feeling crafty, I pulled out my boxes of jewelry makin' goodies.

In need of a cool accessory, I whipped up this ribbon, rock, feather, leater and thread necklace.

Worked great today with a white tee and flair jeans and awesome poncho from Ebay. Tres Pochahontas.

Lemino if you like!

they also come in cranberry and black

If you don't know about Tom's you've been living under a rock.   Sorry, but it's true.

I mean, have you never seen a pair of these on someone at Whole Foods,  Urth Cafe or stacked in the take your shoes off before you go to yoga class area?   Maybe at your kids preschool?

This amazing do-gooder company really has an eye for fashion.

I saw those fab gray wedges on a stylish beauty/fashion PR friend and was like:  

MUST. HAVE.  NOW.

Saw them selling them at America Rag on Le Brea but you find them everywhere.

Flippin out over my new FitFlop Mukluks. Fashion meets Fitness – Say whaaa?!!

November 27, 2010

 

 Mukluktall_l

It's true.  They say right there on the Fit Flop website "Warning our Mukluks are addictive" and they are soooo right it's ridic.

My tall Smoke Grey pair arrived by mail this morn, I tried them on at 9 am, and now it's 9:41 pm I am finally taking them off.  But it's only because I want to go to bed. They've felt literally like wearing air all day.  No, like walking on clouds!   But clouds with major ergonomic support.  And then there's the whole fit flop science behind them (read below) that actually makes them serious working shoes!  

Uh sorry, can you tell me what shoe on the planet you can wear on Day One for several walking hours and forget to take off?? Yah, it's nuts.

Ok, then there's the irresistible fashion part.  ( I've been know to "pass along" toss several ugly exercise sneakers I've been given in the past. )  They are fricken cool. Waaayy cooler then Uggs. for so many reasons.  Starting with, they are NOT Uggs. Next is the cool biased cut along the top on and the best part is the hippie throw back to the earth show sole which is over the top retro chic.  Trust me.  These are the Uggs of te future.  

On top of being insanely comfy they put your legs to work!! (more on the technology below) even though you have no idea anythings happening cuz its like walking on clouds.  So you're gonna look chich, a little retro hippie heel going on AND you're gonig to tone up your legs?  Yah, sorry, bye Uggs :(.

Grey clouds never looked so good.

Zappos has them for $250.

You can read more about the science behind them below.

(But sshh, if you're like me think all that's stuff just wonderful but what it really comes down to is HOW DO THEY LOOK?, then you don't have to read on just order your pair here!!
