I am not the person who falls for “it” items nor have I ever desired a look that can be easily replicated. I’m not the girl who constantly buys/consumes and then a month later wants to sell said items. Having said that (insert last week’s Curb Your Enthusiasm joke here) let me explain my obsession with these shoes. As a riot grrrl in my teens (all of my teens) I developed an unhealthy relationship with leopard, thus the moment I saw these shoes walk down the runway, I was in love. True love.
My look has been cultivated over the years and these feel like they’re a missing piece to my puzzle. I look forward to the moment I have these on my feet. After all, I’ve been looking for leopard wedges since my Target ones bailed on me last year.

If you are anything like me, you still love many of things you did as a teenager. Sometimes many of those things such as Dr. Martens’ creepers or Screeching Weasel reveal themselves as ridiculous with a little age, but if you are lucky you can still count on some of your former interests to remain in tact.
The Gossip is one of those groups that no matter how huge they become (in the UK, wake up America!), they will always remain awesomely hip. Not simply because they have a fearless and sexy lead singer, but they make fun music. I’ve loved them since I was 18, and years later my adoration has only grown.
I was enthralled to see Beth Ditto in the music issue of NYLON magazine, no less rocking the Christian Louboutin Roditas in yellow. She’s been in Paris Vogue, Vogue, Pop magazine, and it is great that her style is still being recognized, as she is a gem among plastics. I wasn’t a fan of these particular Louboutins, as they looked too similar to something found in a Spearmint Rhino dressing room, but Ditto is making them look hot. For $500 they can be yours too.
