Themed Thursday.... Round Deux

WHEELS

Just couldn't get enough...so here' more of my 'Wheels'.

Bought these babies off of E-bay for a fracture of the cost!

Six inches of  pure *Bliss...I still swoon everytime that I  take them from the box....

Besides, Pink is the new Black {who knew}

 



not sure how these fit into the theme

Theme Thursday

WHEELS::

I am soooo  'ing this week's Thursday ThemeIt takes me way back to a time when my parents paid for all of my worldly indulges  when the living was easier.  And for me, I lived then, as I still do know, constantly swooning over unique and be-yoooo-tiful footwear.  The more avante garde, the more swoon-worthy! 

And this fits into this theme of 'Wheels' becuzzzz....?

So. Here's the fit. 

In my neck of the woods {and I am sure, in many other necks} shoes were cherished for there functionality. But ultimately for their 'wow' factor.  Beauty, well yeah.  Looking at these 'wheels', we can see that.  {functionality...hmmmm}

 A well-treaded set of wheels on a beautifully tricked out automobile always garnered the attention of the neighborhood 'in' crowd.  They are the 'blink' that is meant to catch your eyes...coming and going.  Your wheels should always be clean, crisp and the 'belle of the ball'.  The automobile is your show piece, but the wheels are the crowning jewel.  

So you see, the outfit is really the bridemaid to the real shop stopping bride that is going on below the ankle...
Your wheels!




I can not remember where I found this mouth dropping pic {if you do, please email me with the info so that I can give due credit}, but, I would bet my eyes tooth that they are the lusciousness that belongs only to Lady Gaga.  Thoughts?






the stylist to these amazing gems is a very chic designer whose style is nothing short of fierce!


...and what would a shoe closet be without a pair of kicka** red pumps?! 
I say...empty {very}

Fill 'Er Up!



{buy them::special thanx}

I dream of the day that I can 'style & profile' in some hip, tricked-out sports car {ahhhhhh}.  But until then, my dream car is any one of the above groovy 'mobiles'.  Although they may not offer me the luxury of today's computer-driven, mileage challenged high-tech autos, they offer me something more comforting....

....memories of a time when life was waaaayyyy waaaayyy simplier. 

What do you drive?

She's Gotta Have This!

{buy it here::special thanx}


I have {very, very soon} three {important} birthdays, fastly appoaching.  One of these special days belongs to my granddaughter- Beautiful, who will be three years old.  For the last three to four months, {yes, long before Christmas} I've been on the hunt for 'the perfect' birthday gift. 

Enter...this awesome vintage peddle car!  The result {successful, I will add} of my daily blog stroll.  This awesome find fits my self-imposed criteria for 'Grandchildren Gifts'.  Gifts must fit, at least one of the following criteria {there are many more but I don't want to bore you} :: something educational, requires no minimal 'game cartridge' purchases, must involve some gross motor movement involvement since physical education has been taken out of the public school curriculum, must be developmentally educational.   

The metal accountrements- how can you not love that hood ornament?- and the silver paint gives it the classic vintage car look, while the pretty pink colour understatedly says...I am girl!

Nothing like a great find, wouldn't you agree?  What have you found lately?
