Carlos! What beautiful shoes you have!

Thanks to my sister Tricia for letting me know about a fabulous deal going on today at Carlosshoes.com! Can I just say that I didn't know Carlos Santana made shoes?!

These puppies will be gracing my feet in a week or so when they come in. Originally priced at $89.00, I got these gems for a whopping $26!

My favorite part? They look like a couch. And I LOVE that.

Hopefully they come in before Valentine's Day - my little toesies will take the cold if it means my feet will be looking fabulous!

Merry Christmas!

There's snow outside, Christmas joy is in the air and I've been a busy little bird.

First, here's this years Christmas card. Which, I have to apologize to a few people - I accidentally put 3 envelopes in the mail without a stamp, and I don't know who they were addressed to! Hold tight, as soon as they come back to me in the mail (fingers crossed) I'll send them out again; this time with stamps!


Second, there's a new restaurant of the month and song of the week!

If you haven't been to The Wine Guy Bistro in Rookwood Commons, you need to check it out. Amazing food, great wine and a trendy atmosphere. Todd and I had the bruschetta, Italian wedding soup and the Margherita pizza - simply delicious!

This week's song was on Glee a few weeks ago, in the episode 'Special Education'. I loved these songs, and purchased them before the episode was even over! Their cover of 'I've Had the Time of My Life' by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes and 'Valerie' by Amy Winehouse was soulful, impressive and inevitably catchy with a hint of toe tappin' in there somewhere! Check the link to watch the performance.

And lastly, I've been busy painting some beautiful heels! All 3 pairs are currently on display in Dutch's Wine Shop in Hyde Park, and also available on my Etsy shop - which is here if you haven't been there before. Check the pictures below!

Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra

In other good news, I sold my Beatles paintings, Cary Grant and Grace Kelly within a few weeks of each other last month! Thanks to my supporters :)

Merry Christmas everyone - I hope you have a blessed holiday with your families and loved ones.

Goin old school!

Just wanted to share with you my awesome new shoes!!!!

SHA-BAM!!!



I wore these to the Blondie/Pat Benatar concert.. it rocked. And so did my shoes. :)

Hello Lover!

O.M.G. I almost cried when I saw these... tears of utter joy and anger that I couldn't afford them!!!


The master whom I love.......


I am back in my familiar city of Cincinnati after 4 days in New York! I loved it up there! I can totally see myself living there at some point of my life. Hopefully as a successful artist :)

I was in New York for a work trip with my day job, and we worked hard during the days, but when the nighttime came, we made sure we would take advantage of what the city had to offer. Of course, our first night there, we had sushi and edamame. We had tons of yummy food at some really good restaurants. The nightlife was fun… here are some things we did and some pictures!

Our hotel room....

And here's the chair I totally wanted to steal....


Our first day there, we were walking to the subway or somewhere and we saw Kristen Daivs! She was hailing a cab and for those of you who don't know.. I'm a huge Sex in the City fan! I am not the kind of person who is going to act like an ape and go crazy when seeing a celebrity.. they get enough people like that on a daily basis. So I quietly snapped a picture of her with my phone as she walked away from us.


I'm guessing that's her hunky hubby with her... overall I think this is an absolute adorable picture of them!
Here Kristen is from the front... I included this for your viewing :)



We stopped at the Plaza Hotel.. where part of Bride Wars was filmed! It was sooooo gorgeous!

Inside...
We saw Little Ashes, a film about Salvador Dali and his early life and how he struggles to find who is really is and his sexuality. Verrrrry interesting... and who plays Salvador?? The beautiful Robert Pattison from Twilight!

Our last night there, we saw the New York City Ballet. Omg. SO beautiful!!! They were showing the production of Romeo and Juliet. That was the first time I ever saw Romeo and Juliet.. other than the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes lol. It was so amazing and it made me realize how much I miss dancing like that. Here's the American Ballet Theatre stage.


And here are the leading roles.. Romeo and Juliet.


This picture is of the lobby in the American Ballet Theatre.. where the scene from Center Stage was filmed when Maureen told her mother she didn't love dancing anymore and quit!


Goodbye New York!!!!
