I  was going to do a Christmas-themed post, but let’s be honest: you’re not getting anywhere near a mall today. If you don’t have everything you needa for tonight – well, that ship has sailed (alternately: that frankincense has been myrrhed).

New Years is a whole other issue. You still have a week to scrounge, scrape and cobble together the finishing touches for your New Years Eve outfit.

According to ancient prophesy, when the tiny orange creature descends from the heavens on the eve of the year two-thousand and eleven, prosperity shall rain from the sky like tanning spray.Which is why this week’s theme is …

Left: Mossimo Supply Co Odell Sequin Ballet Flats – $12.99
Right: Banana Republic Marble Sequin Ballet Flat – $69.99

Because you don’t always want to ring in the New Year with blisters and pinched toes.

Left: Forever 21 Sequined Peep Toe Stilettos – $27.80
Right: Colin Stuart for Victoria’s Secret Reversible Sequin Stiletto – $29.99

I just got the Forever 21 heels. I haven’t taken them out for a test drive yet, but they look pretty awesome and make me almost a normal height. As for the Colin Stuart heels … I don’t know if the reversible sequin thing works, but it’ll probably make for a great drunk party trick around 11:30.

Left: Converse All Star With Sequins – $42.49
Right: Hunter Carnaby Metallic Boa Boots – $150

Everyone should own a pair of Fancy Converse. Or, at the very least, I should own a pair of Fancy Converse. The rain boots are a good option if your weather is half as miserable and grey as the storm that just passed through LA.

Left:BCBG Sequined Sling-Back Heel – $178
Right: Christian Louboutin Glitter Covered Peep Toe Pumps – $795

You really can’t go wrong with sparkly party shoes.

Top Left: Charlotte Russe Disco Glitter Accordian Clutch – $9.50
Top Right: Lulu Townsend Sequin Frame Clutch – $29.95
Bottom: Kate Landry Peacock Sequin Flap Clutch – $35

Three shiny clutches to go with your sparkly party shoes.

Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish:

1.  Ruby Red Slipper – $18 2.  Today Was A Fairytale – $20 3.  Across the Universe – $18 4.  Happy Birthday – $18

OPI for Sephora Nail Polish:

1.  Only Gold For Me Top Coat – $9 2.  Merry Me – $9 3.  Sparkle Me Silver Top Coat – $9 4.  Midnight Mambo – $9 5.  Flurry Up Top Coat – $9

I recently picked up some new nail polish with glitter in it. I’ve taken to waving my fingers in my boyfriend’s face while saying “Gliiiittteeerrrryyyyy.” Give it a shot – it amuses me endlessly, so it must be worthwhile.

To those of you who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas! To those who don’t, have a good and safe weekend, and thanks for reading!

Heh. Solely.

But I just got a new laptop thanks to Dell’s amazing warranty policy, so I’ve been looking at new homes for it. My American Eagle messenger bag with minimal padding just won’t cut it any more, especially since my new laptop (named “Crockett”) will be accompanying me on a road trip.

Oh, yeah. That. I’m going on a road trip with my boyfriend to Montana. There may or may not be a blog. I’m undecided. It may be updated, it may not, because my first instinct is to catalogue my every waking minute, but my second instinct is to be remarkably lazy.

Point is, I am going on a trip, and am taking my laptop, and have since been looking at laptop bags. So today’s Friday Feets(ish) theme is ….

LAPTOP BAGS.

…

LAPTOP BAGS.

Oh, crap. I haven’t installed Photoshop yet I forgot Chairman Kaga had a doctor’s appointment today and couldn’t announce the theme. So, uh … LAPTOP BAGS!

Target Bueno Croc Embossed Briefcase with Front Organizer Pocket – $29.99
Starting, of course, with Target. I’ve been looking for laptop bags that look like regular bags, because I am convinced that this will outsmart those laptop thieves who have no interest in ordinary purses. Because those totally exist.

Anyway – a very grown-up bag for someone who has very grown-up places to take their laptop, like a job or a wine tasting.

Roxy Little Stud Laptop Bag – $50

And, on the other end of the spectrum, a not particularly adult bag. Lots of pockets are a good thing when you carry everything you own, like I do. No, really, I have 6 lip glosses and two books in my purse at all times. A bag this large is a very good thing.

Fun fact: two dozen Pleathers were killed to make this bag.

Don’t look so scared, Pleather. You’re going to be turned into a very reasonably priced laptop bag.

Fossil Octane Messenger Bag – $78

This is pretty much what I have used as a book bag since sophomore year of college. I like the ruggedness of canvas messenger bags. It’s a little more than I would expect from a canvas bag, but if the quality’s good, then this thing will last forever.

Actually, if you’re just looking for a good messenger bag (that doesn’t have to carry a laptop): American Eagle. Those things last forever. The one I bought sophomore year is still up and kicking – it’s what I’ve been using to (very carefully) carry my laptop for the last six someodd years.

Juicy Couture Neoprene Laptop Sleeve – $78

I don’t really know what a laptop sleeve does – I guess protect a laptop in a purse not designed to carry a laptop? Either way, it’s hot pink and quilted. It’s like a Chanel jacket for my computer. And Crockett has a taste for the finer things in life.

Another week down. I’m out of town for the next couple weeks but will be posting as normal (or, as close to normal as I can). Even if I don’t post an update to the fanpage, check in with the blog anyway – I might be auto-updating that day.

Thanks for reading, and have a good weekend!
