The Goods!: January 2008

Re-Up: NYCity

Just got back from the Big Apple. I brought The Goods! and in return I got a cold/the flu...them's are the breaks in the city that never sleeps. There is nothing more exhilarating than a "NY Minute". You can't help but hustle hard in that city...it waits for no one so you have to step fast to keep up.

You know you need your fourth pair of boots for the season so go treat yourself right and get yours. BTW 2008 is all about treating yourself right and getting yours...so do it and get it!

The new selection at Daha...

And yes, it is time to start thinking about some pretty, sexy Spring things for those feet...

Marmalades bounty...

And oodles of the goods-ness at Zachary's Smile...

This Busy Life...

The year has started off with a big 'ole KABOOM!! And that's a GREAT thing!! AND I hope that's just a glimmer of what's to come! In these first 3 weeks of '08 I have found myself on a mini West coast tour...Oregon (again), a couple of days in L.A., back to the Bay. Here's what this treasurer hunt has come up with...
PDX pick-ups...

A friend and I took the Rosebowl in Pasadena by storm...

M.I.S.S. January: British Knights Black Orchid

And the projects don't stop! M.I.S.S. Crew is offering you something to look forward to for every month of 2008! We'll be putting together a new calender spread featuring our favorite kicks, old and new, and a matching manicure. I didn't know there was a manicurist in me too but I had the great pleasure and experience of hooking up these fancy fingers and offering up The Goods! in the formation of these 80's British Knights Black Orchid Hi-Tops. The calender is available for download so you can print it out or as a desktop graphic...Get the full story here.

Inspired: Bijules NYC vs. Anything Goes

And yet another "catch-up" post. The lovely and talented Bijules released these oh-so-hot finger nail rings some weeks ago. And once again I was so excited to do a comparison post with the original Goods! from the 80's but I couldn't find mine!!!! I found them. So...here we go...I remember the first time I saw a 14K gold finger nail, it was the mid 80's. My mom's best friend rocked one on her pinky nail, she also wore every gold ring, necklace, and bracelet she owned (so it seemed) and I thought she was the coolest because of it all. I hadn't seen a gold nail for years until I happened into a jewelery shop in Hoboken, NJ about 5 years ago and there I found (drastically reduced) 14K gold finger nails...I was so excited!!! My attempts to have them put on have left me scared with horror stories of infection and mildew growing under the nail from water getting caught under the nail. I think Ms. Jules Kim of Bijules has done us ladies justice and in the sexiest way possible with her chic and powerful Serpent Nail Ring. No need to rock a big claw-like nail or worries of infection just something sleek and feminine just like you. Thanks Lady!
