No, Thank YOU, Seychelles Thank You Note Taupe Heels

($92, Seychelles, JBAndMe.com)
Presently I'm wearing these wonderful Seychelles "Thank You Note" taupe slingback heels, and I could WEEP they're so cute and comfy. They're cute and remind me a bit of the old-school "house shoes" my grandma always wore. Also, how cute am I -- I'm wearing them to a bridal shower. Get it? "Thank You Note"? HEE! I'm a freaking genius sometimes. Also, JBAndMe items always smell like fresh laundry when they arrive. They're wonderful people.

Seriously, Seychelles "Thank You Note" -- heaven sent.

Lisa K: The Perfect Gold Heart Necklace

If this were just a regular little gold heart on a chain I'd probably be so bored I'd be falling asleep into my keyboard and end up with little imprints of the home keys all up in my cheeks. But I LOVE the little baby heart and the hammered mama heart (kinda like my own mama, who was always hammered -- JUST KIDDING, MA! You KNOW you can't hold your alcohol!) and the delicate little pearl accents.

Win A Bike From Topshop!

Wanna win a bike? Topshop and Chictopia are giving away a bunch of bikes to people deemed cute enough to DESERVE one!

Just upload a photo of yourself wearing something cute-ish on your bike (maybe if your outfit is awesome but your bike totally sucks you'll have a better shot at winning) here at Chictopia by July 17, and that sweet bike right thur could be YOURS!

Here's my entry... JEAL-ASS?

Marc By Marc Jacobs USA Beach Bag

Not that I even KNOW from a beach these days, and seriously, if I see ONE MORE FUCKING FACEBOOK UPDATE about how you can't WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIT for your effing trip to Cabo Wabo or Sea World or Seven Flags or the beaches of Beantown or P-town or the Emerald Isle or whatever I will probably not be able to restrain myself and I will probably punch you. It probably won't hurt, and I'll probably be really because it's really immature, but still. What I'm trying to say is that A VACATION WOULD BE REALLY NICE! ONE THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE A WEDDING, FAMILY, OBLIGATIONS, OR SPENDING MY OWN MONEY. Not that weddings and family aren't nice. They are. But if someone wanted to give me a trip to somewhere with a beach and a bucket of Freeze Pops, that'd be fanfuckingtastic. I wouldn't know Montauk if it knocked on my door and evicted me.

Now what was I saying before I let out some pent-up aggression in an inappropriate setting? OH YEAH! Just that this vintage-inspired Marc by Marc Jacobs USA Tote is really cute. NOT THAT I HAVE ANYWHERE TO BRING IT.

McQ Lace Panel Dress Is Doing Shit To My Head

($92, McQ, theOutnet.com)
I can't even begin to tell you the nasty things this grey and hot pink lace McQ dress is whispering to me. They're BAD. Things I've never even heard of or thought about doing. But I'm thinking of doing them. It's BAD. I'm hooked... Also, I have to keep reminding myself that I'M. NOT. WEALTHY. WHY DO I KEEP FORGETTING THAT? Seriously, this McQ dress is BREAKING DOWN MY RESOLVE.

theOutnet.com's Shoe Collection Is Giving Me Inappropriate Urges

Seriously, I'm getting tingly... now the tingling is turning to numbness. I may or may not be blacking out. Isn't this how Michael Hutchence died?

Check out theOutnet's -- Net-a-Porter's younger, hipper, CHEAPER, sister -- shoe selects. Designer shoes, discount prices.

($199, Chloe, theoutnet.com)



($115, Marc Jacobs, theoutnet.com)

($232, Bally, theoutnet.com)
Gahhhh these silver Bally heels so have my name on them. Unfortunately, my credit cards have my name on them too.


($532, Christian Louboutin, theoutnet.com)
Usually I don't freak out and make a total jackass out of myself and act all like OMFG SEX AND THE CITY IS MY FAVORITE MOVIE AND I NEED JIMMY CHOOS AND LOUBOUTINS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT CARRIE BRADSHAW WORE AND OUR LIVES ARE SOOOOOO ALIKE BECAUSE WE BOTH LIKE BOYS AND HAVE GIRL FRIENDS AND LIKE CLOTHES AND LAPTOPS and shit over Louboutins, but these Prive Louboutins are spesh.

Binge Bag: Life With Bird Bag

($130, Life With Bird, Refinery29.com)
Granted, I need a new bag like Park Slope needs another Maclaren, but if I were in the market for a superfluous new bag, I'd go with this very '80s geometrical tote. Geotote! Actually, I COULD use it as a gym bag for my new CrossFit habit. And yes, I've read the Times piece.

Topshop's Answer To The Michael Jackson Jacket!

After my unfortunate stumble upon that tie dye/ airbrushed jeans monstrosity from Topshop earlier this week, my faith was restored when I discovered what I'm POSITIVE is Topshop's updated take on the classic red 1980s Michael Jackson jacket.

($160, Topshop)
Actually, it kinda looks more like Liza Minnelli jacket, but let's not be picky.

+ More sequin jackets I love.

Oh yeah, I saw on the "news" that Michael Jackson had an all-sequin bedspread. Vom. Also, I had a cornflower blue all-poly fake MJ jacket back in the day, haters. And I went to Israel when I was little and my parents bought me this peach-colored shirt with Michael on it. It was DOPE on a ROPE and I WISH I had an adult-sized one now. Boo.

I Bought It Files: Vera Wang For Kohl's Multi-Strand Necklace

As much as I love Vera Wang's jewelry, this real-deal necklace is $1,250 at Saks.

Solution? Simply Vera -- Vera Wang For Kohl's!

($28.80, Kohl's)
I'm wearing it right now as I type this. I love the little faceted discs and box chain. And it's actually made pretty well and looks rad against a black t-shirt. Also, I feel like I saved $1221.20! See how good I am at saving money?

Speaking of money, have you donated to my Avon Breast Cancer Walk?

I'm Doing The Avon 3-Day Walk For Breast Cancer! Wanna Donate? Wanna Buy Shoes?



DOODS! I am doing the Avon 3-Day Walk for (against, really) Breast Cancer in New York in October. 39 miles, 3 days, rain or shine -- hopefully shine.

Chances are you either HAVE boobs or KNOW someone who has them or BOTH! So, wanna give me money? Donate here http://walk.avonfoundation.org/goto/tamar

And/or, if you're the type of person who needs AN INCENTIVE, which is fine, I'm selling these FUCKING AWESOME vintage heels and putting the $ into my fund!




They're a size 8M but would fit a large 7 or a 7.5 best. They're J. Renee and look pretty much unworn (I bought them online and they didn't fit. Wah!)
3" heel with amazing gold hardware on toe and heel and metallic animal print squigglies against black material.

The bottoms are marked $56.00 from a previous resale shop, but I'm selling them for $32.00 -- most of that will go straight into my Avon Breast Cancer Walk fund (with the exception of shipping bucks.)

Want 'em? First person to email me at tamron at gmail dot com gets them! (US only pleeeeze!)

WTF Files: Tie-dye Jeans At Topshop

($90, Topshop)
Topshop, I love you, but you're killing me. Also, these don't look tie-dyed. They look airbrushed. But why split hairs? They also look like the miserable, previously unthinkable combination of Mariah Carey's "Rainbow" album cover and an acid trip at Coney Island. Also, I PRAY that the term "tie-dye jeans" is both an oxymoron and one that I'll never hear again. Ever.

In terms of the lesser of two evils, which is better/ worse -- these or the Cheap Monday polka dot jeans I found?



(I won't lie though. I do fucking LOVE "Heartbreaker.")
