GIRLS NIGHT OUT (AND A GIVEAWAY!)







Last weekend my girlfriends and I met up in downtown Long Beach for a little celebratory birthday (not mine) dinner at Michaels Pizzeria. It's the number one Zagat rated pizza restaurant in the country, so we went in with high expectations, and it definitely did NOT disappoint. I mean, the baked speck covered mozzarella appetizer that we got was so amazing I could have eaten ten of them (it was small) and called it good -- definitely one of the best things I've ever eaten. But my pesto, artichoke and potato pizza was pretty dang delicious too. 

Going out with my friends was the perfect opportunity to break in my new favorite heels from ShoeMint. I'm sure you guys know about ShoeMint by now, but it's a free members-only website with gorgeous, stylish shoes. When you sign up they ask you a few questions and then give you recommendations based on your style, and they release new styles every month so there are always lots of fabulous choices!  ShoeMint recently partnered with Aldo, and the pair I have (the "Tegan" heels) are a pair from their new higher quality line, and they're amazing. So comfortable, and so obviously well made. I can't stop wearing them! 

So how about winning yourself a little Valentine's Day present? Today ShoeMint is giving away a pair of shoes (of your choice) to one lucky reader! 

To Enter: 

This giveaway will be open for one week, closing next Thursday at midnight. It is open to US and Canada residents only. Good luck, and Happy Valentine's Day!

WINNER!!

  10. Oh my gosh I remember pinning that coat on my wishlist months ago! I totally forgot about it. How do you like it? Is it like a real winter coat, or more light weight?

  76. I love shoemint but I'm so broke! I got a pair of the Max boots in September in sake for $35 and they're the best purchase I've ever made!
    Right now I love Tasha and Roslyn but I'd probably get
    Tasha since I could wear them more often.... Although Roslyn would be cute in spring or summer with jeans,,,, I guess still Tasha....
