Booze, Food, and Fashion by Sweet Lady Lynnie

This was on Refinery29 today. I actually own them and bought them months ago, haha. I love these shoes. They are gothic and victorian, but also a bit pin-up and rocker too. Gotta love a shoe with a sweet heart neckline built in for your toe cleavage. And look at that heel... I'm still not decided on whether or not it's to die for in a literal sense. Yowza!

Burger Bonanza... Top Burger News!

I have always had a love for burgers of all kinds. Coming from a family that always had the big summer bbq's and being raised on McDonald's in the 80's(before they let you know how bad it was for you). A happy meal used to actually make you happy. Not sure if it was the toy or the burger(which I once admittedly liked) but I'm sure they didn't hurt the situation.

Today my happy meal is more likely to include Nieman Ranch beef or Kobe beef burgers and a pint. So when I noticed all my favorite sites gearing up for SF burger week with all sorts of burger news... I thought what better chance do I have to share all this wonderful burger news and my love of meat on a bun? So here goes:

For those that have not yet subscribed to the essential foodie news site Eater.com we have the following:

Fall Fashion Favorites 2011

Fall fashion month is officially over. To catch up on some personal favorites that graced the runway this season please keep reading.

Akris: With all my favorite colors... browns, taupes, rusts, greys, and black Akris has managed to make a collection that makes you want Fall to come early. And that's saying a lot!

Check out more Akris here.

Alexis Mabille: Flirty and feminine looks that would make their way perfectly into my wardrobe. Paisleys and plaids meet with bright piping and bold colored buttons to make a gypsy gal feel comfortable in the business world.

See more Alexis Mabille here.

Kenzo: More plaids! Here they are used in long flowing gowns and skirts paired with layers of lovely fabric. Texturized with velvets and mixed with florals this collection is gorgeous!

Check out more Kenzo here.

Haider Ackermann: Leather, fur, and sequins... oh yeah! If you can look past the hair on the models to the beauty and draped structure that is Ackermann's latest collection, you will find true art. Not sure how comfortable this line would be to wear... but I would sure try. LOVE! Just don't look at the hair tragedy that tops this wonderful collection.

For more Haider Ackermann go here.

Isabel Marant: With Native American flair... featuring embroidery, fringe, fur and leather, Isabel Marant has made a very strong collection. for me it reminds me of my love for the deserts of Southern California. I'd love to rock all of these looks!

Check out More Isabel Marant here.

Sacai: Lace and mesh fabrics in olives, browns and reds makes for a utilitarian look in Sacai's Fall 2011 collection. Drawing the eye to small details that truly complete each look. Think glam outdoors.

And last but not least- Carven: Carven has proven itself to be an amazing fashion house over the years. And they do not dissapoint this season either. However, these pictures are a little dark... so you'd better bet I'm ready for the full set to be up on their own website.
