Dirty Hot!

So I know a lot of people are saying that leggings are on their way out (or in some people's opinions they've been out for a long ass time already) but I totally disagree- and frankly, don't care.

I just splurged on these Sass & Bide "black rat" leggings that I have been obsessed with since they showed up on their runway LAST YEARRRRR! They were actually out of my mind, and I had almost forgotten about them when I was blog hopping and saw them on Kingdom of Style.

Are these not to die for??? The countdown begins until I receive my rats!

Spring Preview...

A few websites are starting to show some Spring preview shoes. It's so weird to be sitting here with my heater on, thinking of Spring footwear.
I bought my first Spring shoe the other day at good old Christian Louboutin... A sweet little espadrille that looks SO cute on- it's stupid. I got them in black, but I'm thinking I should exchange them for the white, pictured here. What do you think??

And I just adore these cute shoes by Chloe! Don't you? They're adorable and perfect for the end of Fall, and a smooth transition into Spring. I love the color and the delicate little straps and buckles. Not to mention the fact that it's a wedge which means walkability! These would be cute with tights and then in warmer months, go bare!

Last but not least- another amazing transition shoe... these "OMG I EFFING WANT THESE MOTHER EFFING SHOES" amazing Nicholas Kirkwood beauties. I mean... seriously. 

*drool*

They're on pre-order here. I love.

Guest Blogger: Joanna Goddard from A Cup of Jo & Smitten (Favorite Obama Gear of 2008)

Hello, I'm Joanna Goddard from Cup of Jo (fashion and design) and Smitten (love and relationships). I'd love to share my favorite Obama gear with you today on MadeByGirl...

Awesome Obama buttons, $7 for four.

Before the election, New York shop Kiosk gave out these posters for free, as long as you agreed to hang them where lots of people would see them. (You can print your own here.)

These pins are hilariously specific. Find many more here. $1/each.

A great graphic tee from Print Liberation, $22.

Michelle and Barack hair clips, $10 for the pair.

This poster by Casey Brooks stirred up controversy on my blog, but I think it's cheeky and all in fun.

I was thrilled to attend a great Obama fundraiser, where Beirut and Grizzly Bear sang (so awesome!) and everyone played Obama bingo (if you won, you shouted out "Obama!"). I still have the bingo card on my fridge.

But my all-time favorite Obama merchandise? The front cover of the New York Times on November 5th. (Photo by Swissmiss)

Hope you liked this Obama round-up! Come visit me anytime on Cup of Jo (design) and Smitten (relationships). And yes, we did! Thanks Jennifer! xoxo (At top, I'm wearing the Ba-Rock-It tee, $25.)

Guest Blogger: Cassandra of Coco+Kelley - (My Top picks to start off 2009)

I don't know about the rest of you, but this girl is very ready for 2009! So, when Jen asked me for my top picks to start off the New Year, I was excited to make a list of classics, necessities, and a few truly original pieces all of which I'd love to add to my wardrobe or home this year...

The lotus flower symbolizes renewal, so how perfect would this gorgeous vintage chandelier. I'm really feelin' red these days, so when I saw this dress from Lela Rose with its fun ruffled collar I immediately fell in love. A classic piece with a little flair, this dress would be a welcome addition to the wardrobe for 2009. Those of you who are familiar with coco+kelley know that I can't resist my big cocktail rings! And, since 'mimosa yellow' is the official color for the new year, I figured I might as well choose a ring suited for the occasion - a lemon quartz ring from Monica Vinader.

I love finding unique pieces for my table, and these tumblers are right in line with my taste for originality and simplicity. With their subtle outlines of famous city skylines, they remind me of my travels abroad and at home! If you're a regular reader at Made By Girl you should recognize this poster! I first spotted it here, and contacted the artist, Christopher David Ryan, to see if he would be adding it to his shop. It was up practically the next day! It will be hanging above my bed very very soon. I shouldn't even have to tell you what the last item is on my New Years list! A pair of classic black Louboutin pumps would top off 2009 nicely! I wish you all a fabulous and safe New Year! Here's to a prosperous and healthy 2009.

Back to Reality...

It's back to work today. Booooo. :(

I suppose if I were really back to reality I wouldn't be ignoring my toes that are like "WTF bitch? These are total Spring shoes and were cold down here!" 

Shut up toes! Don't make me paint your nails green so people think you've developed a fungus.

Anyway- Yes, I'm wearing seasonally inappropriate shoes- so what. I blame California. We don't really have seasons.

On a side note, I am really over this taking pics with my MacBook thing. The picture quality is never very good. :( I think I'll invest in a tripod.
