Shoes with Chains, Anklet Heels, Chainklets . . . A pseudo DIY

I wore my vintage brass chain necklaces wrapped around my ankles last week with myCalvin Klein snakeskin "Sarika" pumps ...and since I flipped through a magazine and spotted the below image yesterday afternoon, I decided to really drive the point home. Why spend money on the actual shoe when you can add chains to any shoe and get the same affect? I just so happened to have the chains which I found randomly throughout the years at thrift shops but any chunky chain will do. Just make sure they're not too heavy or too tight or you'll be uncomfortable all day.

See how I wore them here

Need some chunky chains? 
...here are some budget friendly options that may work ...remember, you'll need one for each ankle {also think about the clasp, you want it small but able to clamp onto almost any part of the chain for a great fit ...and remember, you'll be able to wear them as necklaces too! Double duty jewelry!

Look of the Day

Occasion Wear

I woke up this morning 30 minutes before I wanted needed to so instead of trying to fall back to sleep, I laid {lay? lie?} in bed and thought about everything I was grateful for ...and I can't confirm or deny the fact that I had a really, really great day because of it. It also happens to be Spring Break which means about 50% less traffic in Los Angeles, and that alone dignifies arms raised in the air in praise. But I found myself laughing and giggling and just generally relaxed and smiling more all day long. So if all it takes is 30 minutes of gratitude {while stretching body in bed in the morning} then I'm totally in ...and seriously, why haven't I tried this sooner? ...oh yeah, I must enjoy misery ;)

Did everyone have a nice Valentine's Day? ...well, at least a nice weekend? The husband showered me with hilariously slutty outfits of which I cannot reveal ...and after that had a relaxing day playing poker with friends online on the xbox. It was actually really fun and even though the weather was so warm and we should have been outside enjoying the day, much fun was had on the couch ;)

It may or may not be apparent but I finally got my hair done! I'm so loving the messy bob look but I played it safe {as I have been since my late 20's} and just had her cut off about 3 inches and throw in a few layers. I know I've mentioned her before but I seriously love my stylist ...if I wasn't so lazy and low-maintenance when it comes to beauty routines, I'd totally see her more often. If you're in LA and want amazing hair, go see her too.

Husband and I had just finished mounds of sushi moments before shooting these photos and I'm pretty sure the salt from the soy sauce had already begun the swelling process. puff. puff.

What's with all the super smiles this week?!? lol ...I guess I'm happy. I think it must have been the gloriously warm weather we had this week, giving me a glimpse of Summer. Or maybe because I got my hair done and feel oh so pretty again. ..lol. Maybe I shouldn't over think it like I do with everything and just relax and enjoy it! Cheers!
