Ok, first, can I just say that I’m so much of a prude that writing the word “nude,” even in reference to shoes, makes me nervous? Moving ahead…

[Christian Louboutin Covered Platform Pump, $660, Bergdorf Goodman]]
I have kind of been admiring this look from afar (and by “afar” I mean, from my computer screen while looking at people.com) and then I read in some magazine that everyone simply HAS to have a nude pump in their closet. So, in my impressionable youth, I now agree with them. And this is the one I want.
P.S. Last time I posted a shoe I liked, my dad bought it for me (best. dad. ever.). Dad, please don’t ever spend $660 on a shoe for anyone, not even me. Even I wouldn’t spend that much on a shoe ever. However, feel free to give me money so I can go to a local shop and get a lookalike.

This is what I want my living room to look like, give or take a few accessories. More specifically, give a West Elm taksim tile rug, take the tie-dyed folk art rug; give an Antwerp chair from Anthropologie, take that super-uncomfy looking slatted chair with the fuzzy animal on it.

I am always amazed by how someone so out-of-touch with reality can strike a chord with such a large audience. Who am I talking about? Why, our dear Martha Stewart, of course. If you haven’t read it before, you really should start tuning in to her blog. It’s hilarious. In it, you’ll gain insight into the most practical areas of Martha’s life, helping you, too decide such questions as, “What Shall I Name My New Hereford Cattle?” and “How Many Names Can I Drop in One Post?”
Seriously.
[p.s. I’m aware that Martha owns the world and therefore me, so I was a little hesitant to post this. After all, I’m just one girl and she’s MARTHA. But I decided that while she may have my $17.99/year for a subscription to Living, she’ll never have my soul.
