Iron Fist isn't just for Kung FU!

But it is for people who aren't afraid to make a statement with their feet! The company anyway! I've had about 20 or so pairs of Iron Fist shoes over the years and I have never worn a brand of shoes that I got more complimented on!

I remember the first time I wore these... it was to Nordstrom shopping with my mom. I was actually a little nervous about it honestly because they're pretty intense... but... I even had a little old lady tell me she loved my shoes and how awesome they looked with my cute outfit (circle skirt & sweater) I guess it just depends on how you dress them! I have like an entire collection of this style... I have the flats, the heels and the fuggs! (yes ladies! they have fuggs! so comfy!) All I was missing was the flip flops... but now I need the creepers!

The ones that got away!

i found these on my first trip to New York. they only had a 9 left... a size too small... i scavenged the internet literally for years and never found them! they were AMAZING!!

Now. I can't really attest to any of their sizing anymore. They used to run about a size big, but recently, they have been running a bit narrow. I think if you find a pair you like, you know your feet well enough! Order them! You definitely will not be disappointed!

All of their shoes are 100% Vegan and Man-Made and available in sizes 5-11!

Well anyway! They have about 5 million other awesome pairs of shoes out there! And they also have AWESOME bags and wallets too! They've recently added, for spring 2013 nail stickers! You know that gets this little manicurists heart fluttering! Their clothing also does go up to a 2X. I haven't ever ordered any of it, but not because it wasn't awesome! I'm just a terrible procrastinator when it comes to ordering online and it always sells out!

I mean in all honesty, how could I not love a company with the motto "Made with Love for a Heartless World"?!

Don't just take my word for it! Go check em out! They're just the thing your outfit needs! Go!

Iron Fist!

sometimes life just makes you wonder

Ok. This post has absolutely nothing to do with fashion, and very little to do with being a big girl. Its just something on my mind so I thought I'd share!

I've always had zero interest in having children. They're noisy and smelly and obnoxious and they make you old. Thats at least how I see it anyway ;)
I always saw it as a blessing that I didn't want kids. With pcos it is REALLY hard to ever get pregnant and I was like well that's the one thing that's ok! It would really suck if I wanted any kids! Thank God I don't! of course, since it was discovered that I have pcos there have been A LOT of advances in treatmenst so it really isn't as big of an issue as it used to be.

I always looked at kids kind of something that ended your life really. I love adventure and being able to whisk off if I want to. How are you going to travel to NYC with a kid?! And good Lord! Disneyland! When you have a kid at Disneyland you have to do what they want! No more Space Mountain! No more Matterhorn! Just Dumbo. .. and Snow White.

I've never even really ever wanted to get married. I think the way I view marriage is more typical of a guys point of view. I have never been opposed to being with someone forever. I just don't think that kind of everlasting love and adoration and tolerance is something that comes a long for everyone. I cant even commit to a pair of shoes for more than a couple months... how am I supposed to pick someone to be with for the rest of my life?!

And don't get me wrong! I have always thought I would look just adorable pushing a vintage style pram with my high heels and an adorable baby in a cute little dress and Baby Dior Mary Janes... but you shouldn't have a kid just as an accessory right?!
And I absolutely love it when my friends have kids! Kids are the best people to shop for! The clothes are adorable and they never complain that they don't like it!

This was all until my good friend Elizabeth over at Pirates Prerogative had her baby...

I've known Elizabeth and her husband Joe FOREVER! I remember when they started dating, when they got engaged, their wedding... heck I would hope so since I was in it! Their relationship is the only relationship I have ever seen that was legit. They were absolutely totally an completely made for each other. They're both completely awesome, so I don't know why I was so surprised they made an awesome little munchkin!

I don't know what it is. Maybe it's that he's just such an adorable little gremlin, or the way he looks at Elizabeth with so much love. And hearing about him learning things and talking and saying "RAWR" when she asks him what a dinosaur says. Or just maybe it's just how now they've made a complete and total loving and happy family. 

It's kind of made me start questioning the things I want out of life. Maybe I do someday want to settle down. Maybe I do want to find what they have... maybe a kid is something more than an adorable accessory and another person to shop for...

Thanks a lot Elizabeth!!

If I had to name my one true love right now...

It would  definitely be shoes! Whenever I tell my best friend, or my mom, "OH MY!  I FELL IN LOVE!!!!" They know its never a guy. It's always shoes. I know every girl has a shoe obsession. I was lucky enough to be able to build shoe shelves on one wall. I feel though, that as a bigger girl, my love for shoes runs a little bit deeper than the average girls love. Why is that you ask? Shoes always fit. Even if ya gain a few ;)

So, in honor of shoesday, I completely intended to write a blog about awesome shoes... But I used up all my shoe blogging time up actually buying a pair!

How adorable are these?! I love chucks! I have worn them forever! But there has never been a pair nearly as exciting as these!

I mean... really?! Platform chucks?! Yes please!! I used to 100% live in heels, but retail destroyed my back so no more tall shoes for me! Such a sad face! 

Everyone! Go to Nordstrom and buy these! They are super comfy & they make you taller! Who doesn't like that?! I'm 5'7, and I'm used to being about 6' in all my old heels so these are a bit of a godsend!

well all right then. I fold!

I've been talking about starting a blog for over a year now.

What better day to start that than the first day of New York fashion week?!

This blog is going to be dedicated to my one true love.

Being fashionable in the city!

And yes. I'm a big girl who loves fashion. Who isn't these days right?

But trust me. I'm a little different ;)
