For those of you with an AmEx card, this is for you. I got an email the other day from their rewards zone section, usually I delete them buuuuut thank god I read this one! It said that because I have an AmEx I can go see Alberta Ferretti at Tootsies on Westheimer in Houston next Wednesday, December 7, from 6-8. There will be cocktails and then after that you get to see Alberta Ferretti's Spring/Summer 2012 collections before they are seen by other poeple!!! After the show Alberta Ferretti herself and Hal Rubenstein, InStyle magazine's fashion director, will just be talking about fashion. I don't know about any of you but I am dying to go to this. So insanely badly. If any of you fashionistas are AmEx owners, please go for me and take pics AND THEN send those to info@fashionhouston.com so I can pretend I was there with you!
P.S. Here are some of Alberta Ferretti's rockin designs that I decided are just amazing. :)
To-die. I wish this party was my day to day. All I want to do is savor sweet nibbles of macarons between sips of tummy-tickling champagne while strolling and gabbing with the gals among the season's hottest finds. At least we can all indulge this Wednesday night at the BCBGMAXAZRIA holiday party! Special call out to our kick-ass Alzies, and Blondes v Brunettes Co-Founders Meredith Riddle and Kate Allen Stukenberg! WIN!

Auction Sneek Peek:
I've gotten into the habit of wearing only Havaiana flips, and during the hot, sultry days of the rough Houston Spring-Summer-Fall, I tend to wear my flip flops just about every day--uh, SO comfy, but oh, what a style-killer. Although I may be storing only about half my collection for the Winter, I still wanted to give them all a thorough scrub-a-dub-dub beforehand (plus, two pairs of mine ate serious mud during the rain last week). Nobody likes stinky feet, and even more so, nobody likes opening a storage container after housing stinky shoes for a few months in a no-A/C, zero circulation attic. I've heard of the ol' "just throw your flip flops in the dishwasher" trick, but that seriously grosses me out. In the words of my good friend Jenni, it's just vomit-ose. I also am of the mindset that a nice hose-down just isn't good enough, so I headed to the trusty internets. After a few clicks, I stumbled across OMFG Style's guide to Haviana washing. Bloggess Cody did the all the research and trial-by-error already, so I'm totally just going to follow her personal combination:
Now, although the how-to seems Havaiana brand specific, I'm sure it'll work on just about any rubber flips.
Let me know your thoughts!
