okay so... this post is pointless. like, more so than usual by large amounts. proceed with caution.
i met gretchen rubin at alt summit this year. i liked gretchen rubin. and then i got lucky enough to attend a few dinner parties with her in the months following. this explains how i somehow got invited to her swanky book release party last week, held in an insaaane apartment on the upper east side. (her first book, The Happiness Project, was a New York Times best seller! aaaand you can preorder her new book, Happier At Home, HERE! that there was just a shameless plug for a friend, don't mind it.)
so, when we first arrived there was a table set up in the foyer with these cute little chalkboard name tags, which, once affixed, made me look hysterically like a sister missionary. a sister missionary for the church of bagels and cream cheese, obviously. (we were supposed to write down what made us happy.... jewish food will do it for me just about every time.) (JEWISH SISTER MISSIONARY.)
anyway anyway anyway, this clunker of a post exists solely to say that while i may have closely resembled a devout spreader of the gospel from the top... i was most decidedly not gospel-appropriate on the bottom. because i was wearing my....
...satan spikes.
satan spikes'll save you every time.
lol, you are amazing! those shoes, get me every time.

A good chuckle is never pointless. Neither are those shoes. (cue the cymbal crash...)
ReplyDeleteHey, I'll join the church of bagels and cream cheese! I'm obsessed with the chocolate cream cheese right now. I smother it on my croissant and pretend I live in Paris.
ReplyDeleteLovin' the shoes. You're rockin' them!

ReplyDeleteOh btw bagels and lox are my favorite (no capers though)!
DeleteI LOVE THIS POST! Made me laugh so hard!
ReplyDeleteI feel like, for a 'pointless' post, I felt all the emotions. I laughed, I coveted your amazing shoes and then I craved a bagel. I'd say that's pretty point...ful? :)

ReplyDeleteyou are too funny! "satan spikes" ha!
ReplyDeleteO-M_-G! I Love the shoes!
ReplyDeletelove your posts!!!!
ReplyDeleteyou must address the pressing question (alright, my pressing question) of how on earth you wear those things without scratching the devil out of your legs. you know, with the walking and the crossing. or is it the kind of pain that beauty demands? cause that i get.
ReplyDeleteThe satan spike shoes save it! No missionary looks with that outfit. :) I happened to discover your blog recently and you make me want to quit my life in Utah and move to NYC straight away.
ReplyDeletethose shoes are fierce, girl! i must know, are they easy to walk in?!
