the manolo has rightly commented on the prada red slippers of the pope. in my own miss meghan shoe analysis way, i must say that this pope may have a bit of the inner wild man in him. methinks he may surprise us all with some very modern and forward thinking proclamations.
GET YOURSELF A MALINI BAG
This thursday and Friday at their showroom 865 UN Plaza (49th &
today marks the debut of insidefly, the new DVD fashion magazine with contributors like labtonic, Boudicca, Cloak, Marc Jacobs, Yves Saint Laurent and Y3, in video fashion editorials set to music. it's a bold new concept that i really quite like, the idea of your favorite looks coming to life in a well-thought out way, along with short documentaries on culture-makers, i think will prove to be quite an interesting spin for the fashion industry. they have already caught the attention of large corporate advertisers like calvin klein who think the idea has some legs. i had a chance to hang at the studio with the editors along with nima from labtonic in september during fash week and i got a sneek peek at all the content for the next few issues. very intriguing stories with evocative moods and great music of course.
today it is about 1 degree here in manhattan and i have officially gotten out my serious winter boots. these are the ankle high, flat suede calliste boots with the fur spats that zip up over them to the knee for maximum furriness and warmth. beginning now until march1 this is basiclaly all you will see on my feet! (i'll alternate between black and lavendar though to mix it up a bit!)
what does your scent say about you? two guys (Franco Wright and Adam Eastwood) who brought you fred segal's website, are now bringing the rarest, hottest, and most exclusive new perfume brands to their site LuckyScent.com --and organizing them according to sign!. it is so miss meghan this concept, i love it!! what fun! according to them i should get myself into this fragrance, which has essence of tonka bean!!
in advance of thanksgiving i thought i'd try my hand at whipping up one of my fave apple pies. (note to self: fresh vanilla bean is very strong!) i had a lot of extra energy last night and stayed up till 11:30 to create this pie of perfection. we topped it off with some heavy whipping cream to which we added a bit more of the super strong vanilla bean and some maple syrup. it was major!
we met up for a quick drinkie at the regency before we both went out into the night. sal giving me all the latest dish from hollywood--watch for syriana--the new george clooney movie is supposed to be major! we both in black riding boots, sal in a fab black velvet jacket and me in my sparkly vintage coat with the fur trim. we had fun time, then sal dashed out to the west and i to the east villages. met up with jordan and poet friends at anyway for a chocolate martini and the best chocolate caramel fondue, heidi and jenna joined for more fun then we headed back uptown in the worst raffic ever. fortunately we have the new madonna CD to jam out to when in a jam.
check out what the washington post is reporting this morning about shoes. miss meghan and the manolo and yes many other shoe bloggers have known this for awhile but now here it is in black and white with NUMBERS!
MID PICTURE YOU'LL SEE THE BACK OF ME IN MY PARTY DRESS.
we had so much fun last night! jaromir jagr's skates got snapped up in a hot pre-event bid, amanda beard stopped by with her winning smile and cute michael kors leopard round toes pumps (and she bid on eddy curry's kicks!), sarah lukashok from luna vida came and bid on a pair of peep-toe pony hair bettye mullers, marianne and elivira kept me juicy, courtney spun some amazing tunes, of course kicking off the night with hung up. mario winans peeps came thru to check out the action, the always stunning blond boys stayed until the very end (have u seen their new line yet? am so excited they are doing apparel now too!) looking elegant and sipping champagne! o wow! it was really quite fun! we raised a lot of money for city harvest they tell me and don't forget bidding continues through thanksgiving so if you are angling for a pair of cesare paciotti pumps or diddy's signed kicks you still have a chance! pictures to come!

heidi and i took pics in the photo booth --which is the best one in nyc FYI, then we hit san loco for a quick taco. mmm. i miss those guaco locos!!! a taco wrapped in another taco with guacomole inbetween.
friday at luckyshops was awesome. hung out with all the lucky girls at my little podium and signed more than 300 books! farrah came by, krista from sergio rossi and michelle from shefinds to suss out all the great deals. which were many. by the end of the day marc jacobs collection bags were going for 50$ and notify jeans for $100! you know i got myself some notify! also slipped into two pairs of some of the most comfy jeans i've ever worn, serfontaine. the jeans whisperer from barneys hooked me up with the perfect fit. then sal came and picked me up, she was wearing some fierce low heeled riding boots) we hit fashion 40 for a quick mojito before she went off to LES for dinner and j and i headed to restaurant row to meet up with my auntie and uncle. many glasses of gavi de gavi and a giant slab of bittersweet chocolate mousse later, we headed home.
at luckyshops last night all the girls were wearing fancy party dresses over t-shirts. it was tres cute!
she had a gorgeous chocolate brown fall cascading down her back--i had no idea her hair was so dark these das but it looked lovely. also stopped and chatted with simon doonan who was decked in a really fab outfit as well. very dapper! he was signing his latest fash-book, nasty.
if you havent bought your tickets yet, you might want to, there's some fierce discounts to be had on vanessa bruno, catherine malandrino and jill stuart. oh! i can't even tell u about the green velvet balet flats from jill with the green sparklies!
is luckyshops fun event! what will miss meg wear? i am thinking a fab slinky black silk dress from ports (it's black sueded silk with a blouson top and hangs below the knee) some turqoise tights and red stilettos! is that soo too much? i am feeling like FUN though!
with my sock and shoe combination. i was wearing a deep azure blue lace patterned knee sock with my lavendar leopoldo girodano ruched ballet flats and everytime i looked down at my feet oh didn't i just get a squeal from myself! ladies this is a lesson. change up the socks and tights this fall to add a little excitement in your life! you see these particular ballet flats i had grown bored with, and with the simple addition of some zing in the form of a sock, i was energized once again.
you must check out this amazing new site pronto! while we may not all agree with the wearing of the clogs, i am thinking you will love this site. so mush fashion and cuteness all in one place!
last week, it's true! all the girls were reading Miss Meghan's shoe tips. I wonder if it helped them during their runway audition?
i think robutussin is the greatest thing ever invented. makes my cough go away and lets me act like a normal person. i can even wear my stilettos when i am on the syrup!
those are the chausseres of the birthday of the miss meghan! vintage with a slightly rounded toe and just below the knee!
o what fun i am having already! going off for a manicure pedicure then lunchie and then an afternoon of business-y things. and what am i wearing on my feet today? i am not yet sure! i will let you know what the mood is dictating in a few moments! is it a jimmy choo moment? hmmmmm.
that's the sound of miss meg and her little cold. it is petite this cold but it is there nonetheless. i have to say i have been wearing my faux cowbo boots everyday this weekend and week. i love it when you reach deep into your closet for something and rediscover a little gem like these. bought at tootsi back when the buying was good there (circa 5 yrs ago) also around teh same time that i bought my deep forest green miumiu ankle boots and red sparkly dries van notens that i used as a table centerpiece for 6 months before subjecting them to the mean manhattan streets. those were halycon days of shoe obsession i must say. and when i wear my faux aubergine cowboy boots i am transported back to those days! what fun! living in the east village on a 6th floor walkup that guaranteed i would have tight ass from all the many stairs i climbed each day!
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THESE? IT'S A MARY JANE, PLATFORM, WEDGE. EVERYTHING BUT THE KITCHEN SINK!
while they may be dangerous to walk in, i think they are rather winning and cute!
and has spent a little time propped up among the pillows, drinking copius amounts of lemon ginger tea with honey and wearing her favorite new slippers which are really someone else's old slippers but are oh so comfy and put her in the bedroom slipper kind of mood (see my book for full
explanation). while miss meghan does NOT like being sick and in fact tries to pretend she is not sick and does all sorts of things to pretend she's not sick like work, work, work and not rest, putting on the slippers helps her remember that one can be cozy and cute while being sick. which can make it a teensy bit more fun.
