Hmmm, Chanukah...one of my favorite times of the year. Joyous celebrations, a feeling of fellowship, and presents, so many presents! So far I've blogged updates for most of this high holiday's celebratory days, and today, day 5, is no exception. Truth be told I'm always behind one day, I've got to unbox and photo my new treasures first. Nevertheless, let's just call this day 5's.
Now, what's in store for today? Here, take a gander at these babies:
Stiletto pumps in very fashionable oxblood. Another surprise for me because I did not expect these at all.
Love the heel height. Usually I prefer black, black seems to just go best with almost anything, though I think I can find a use for pumps like these in oxblood, maybe for some of my Les Chic looks, more about that later.
Next up, I have a triumvirate of gifts to show you:
OK, starting on the left: a nice pair of princess pants with button details in navy blue. Ahoy there matey, those look like sailor pants to me! Naah, they're princess pants from someone dear to my heart, because I'm his princess.
Next: in the middle, above, on the bed: a black leather sheet and comforter set. Thank you so much! I already have sets in red and in black, PVC vinyl, which I simply adore, but none in this delicious, luxurious leather. Had a chance to give them a spin last night, and let me tell you baby I had some of the best sleep I've had in a long time. They enhance the experience so much, completely indispensable. Don't know where my admirer, whose identity shall remain secret, got these: I've scoured the internet and none I've found were up to snuff; can't chintz on leather bedding, cheap stuff ruins the whole experience, not enhancing it, not unlike wearing too much Old Spice, if you're a girl - wrote about that situation before. The big problem is that they're for a twin size, which I have in my dorm room, but somewhere down the line I know I'm going to get a king size, so I'll need a new set. The other problem: I couldn't loosen the screws, or my boyfriend couldn't, on this darn bunkbed, safety first after all. To get the best performance out of these types of sheets, PVC or leather, you really need a big brass bed with loose screws, so that it wobbles and moans a lot. I know what you're thinking: "Naomi, how are you going to sleep in a wobbly, noisy bed?" My response: "What can I say, some people like the TV on when they're doing it, me, I prefer a luxurious, noisy, wobbly bed with the screws loosened to sleep together in, plus, I get a sound nights sleep; it just makes me feel less alone, the noise that is."
Up next: to the far right, hanging from the upper bed: a new leather jacket. Sure, it's moto style, seems like almost every leather jacket is moto style nowadays, however, it's double breasted. I think I might have a post in which it fits in here a bit more prominently. All three of the items in the photo make a good combo. Could see myself doing something, maybe, Les Chicish - more about that later - with the pants and jacket.
So there's Chanukah haul day 5 for you. How's your Chanukah going? Getting any good stuff? Hope it's been joyous and full filling as well.
Catchya later.
Ciao.

You're probably here because you followed the link from the Google+ post I put up today. If you're here for some other reason, to get you up to speed, this post is about how so many shoes look so much alike.
I was pinning some stuff to my Pinterest boards, "shoe" and "platform shoe", the other day and couldn't help noticing how similar so many shoes look to each other. Some of them are practically identical and it's not because they are what are being called knockoffs, which is a term that seems to be reserved for the highest end of the fashion spectrum.
Here's an example:
OK, so on the top we've got a Steve Madden platform, very nice. Next we've got a thick heel platform sandal from a company I'm going to talk about in a little bit. And last but not least another platform sandal, hard to say if it's taller, looks taller to me, must be the sole, from the same place as the one in the middle.
Golly! They are SO similar! The rise on the one at the top and the one at the bottom is the same; it's the thicker sole that makes the one at the bottom look bigger, and I think it is anyway. And these aren't the only shoes that are so close in appearance to each other. I couldn't include every example because there wouldn't be nearly enough room plus it would take far too long a time to compile such a list.
Anyway, I wound up buying numbers 2 and 3; I already have number 1 in beige, so I thought a little change would be in order. Here's where I bought them:
That's number 3, having some trouble getting these web pages to stick, maybe I can get number 2 up some other time. Anyway, the company's, Chateau of Couture, website is a teensy bit hard to understand so I had to send them an email, and low and behold they answered back! Which is very uncommon in this day and age, and not only that they were very helpful. I'm not going to say what currency 250 is, just let me say it was still expensive for me. Yet, for 250 of anything, these babies were a super bargain for the style and the "quality of workmanship" as they call it.
I also bought a pair of terrific boots from the same place, check these beauties out:
For 450 - 450 something - these boots were quite the bargain. They are totally gorgeous and feel incredibly luxurious. I wore these boots to the MSU v. Michigan game. Sorry no pics...yet. Stay tuned, I have a special surprise about that game that I know you will not want to miss. Very happy with my purchase and I think I'll buy some of the other styles when I have enough bread.
Addendum Oh, yeah, one last thing. they're probably moderately cheap because maybe they're having trouble selling them. That's the only thing I can think of.
I hope you appreciate this look into my shopping world, it took me 2 hours to get this stuff up on the web. And, I hope your shopping experiences are as satisfying too.
Incidentally, doesn't the Chateau of Couture website look a lot like some other websites? I'm reminded of matches fashion or maybe shoebizz, weird.
Don't forget to like my contest sets on Polyvore if you get the chance, please! I need your help!
Catchya later.

You've probably noticed by now that I write about footwear - a lot. You know what the reason is? It's that I start at the bottom of my outfit - shoes or boots - and work my way up, and by the time I get to the rest of my outfit I'm totally frazzled. I don't want to seem long winded either, by going into a long, detailed description. I'm not intentionally cutting you out of the fashion insights I know you're simply dying for me to tell you about. I'll try to do better in the future, but for now, the topic is shoes. Check these out:
They're the latest from Gucci, Marie-Claire Model #319. When I saw them I simply had to have them. I'm still doing the Boho thing, for me it wasn't a summer fad. Not all the time mind you, enough though that I needed new shoes. The rest of my non-Boho closet isn't quite lux enough yet to work with these babies so Boho they'll have to be. I'm thinking bell bottoms, maybe leather bell bottoms, floral pants - bell bottom, of course - some kind of mini skirt maybe, maybe not with a bodycon mini it could get a little too bottom heavy, not something I think looks good. For the top, a crop top? Maybe a peasant blouse, something in floral maybe? And the usual for the rest - a cool hat, jewelry, belt(s).
Now there was a choice of colors for these gorgeous sandals:
And I picked black, because black seems to go so well with different outfit's color schemes. The darker brown version of these sandals, sorry the photo of those didn't work, might work with a dark bottom, but I can only see the white stuff in my wardrobe when I look at the tan version.
I really wanted to buy all three, and didn't, which brings me to the reason why: price! So how much did they cost? Remember I'm trying to be less long winded?
Catchya later.
