Wow. Did anyone else think the judges were completely crazy this week? What was going on?! I couldn’t stand Ra’mon’s “winning design” … looks like I wasn’t the only one who thought this episode was absurdly bad. The middle three teams had my favorite outfits, except for this lovely number by the number 2 team:

Lifetime is starting to annoy me. The show itself is fine – I don’t mind disagreeing with the judges from time to time – but I’m getting frustrated watching these episodes. Lifetime is focusing too obviously on the losers. I know designers like Christopher and Shirin are less interesting – seeing as they are motivated, talented people without any obvious personality disorders – but I still would rather watch them speak intelligently about their designs than cringe as Logan makes catty comments and then produces an completely forgettable & mediocre design yet again. Lifetime, take a look at your popularity polls. Adjust screen time accordingly. Thank you.

Anyways, several pairs of sandals from Heels.com inspired by the beach theme of last week’s episode!

Joan and David Natasha Gladiator in Bronze

Parian Sandal by Boutique 9 in Gold – I really like the Boutique 9 line and feel like it deserves more love! Also, these sandals are on sale from $109 to $69! Don’t you just love the end of summer?

As far back as I can remember, when it came to formal events, black was my go to color. In fact, if you know me well, you will know that when prompted with, “what’s your favorite color?” I will quickly respond with, “black!” The most clever will take it even further and tell me that black is actually the “absence of all color.” Thanks smartypants! Well, then black is my favorite non-color! However, it certainly wasn’t a favorite amongst the stars Sunday night, at the Golden Globes.

We witnessed what appeared to be a whole lot of metallics and deeper shades (but not quite black) this year at the 2009 Golden Globes, which left me partly disappointed at the lack of not only black gowns, but black heels (picture my pouty face as I write this!). The few celebs I did see sporting the ultra sexy ebony shade of perfection seemed to cover up their feet! Renee Zellweger went sheer in black, but alas her dress fishtailed and draped to the floor. Along with Kate Winslet, whose dress was so absolutely stunning, she could have come in barefoot and I would have accepted the fact. However, her gown also covered her feet, leaving my mind to wonder what shoe designer could top that Yves Saint Laurent gown. Susan Sarandon also opted for black (in a velvet pant suit…yes, I cringed too), and while we could see her fabulous black satin heels, the distraction from above took away from their beauty.

That left us with one thought and one thought only. WHERE ARE THE SHOES?! Luckily, although the “black-listed” celebs didn’t leave us with much to choose from in the shoe department, the metallic gals did. Angelina Jolie revealed not only a bit of leg, but also a bit of choo (bless you!). Jimmy Choo that is.  Beyonce and her metallic Elie Saab number also featured a thigh high slit, which revealed a stunning pair of diva-like metallic open toed heels.

Truth be told, black will always have a special place in my heart, but I guess there’s a place and a time when one has to venture onto new ground. 

This includes the world of metallics. Just for fun, I also decided to include a pair of black AND metallic heels that I would have sported to the Golden Globes, had I been invited. Are you out there Christian Bale? My shoe selection and I are patiently awaiting our 2010 invite.

Candy Corn is a confection popular in the United States, particularly around Halloween. Each piece is approximately the size of a whole kernel of corn, as if it fell off a ripe or dried ear of corn. The candy is usually tri-colored with a yellow base, orange center, and white tip, although the color combinations may vary.

A staple of the fall/Halloween season.

Pretty colors and tasty!
