Monday, April 23, 2007 Vosges Dark Chocolate Truffles I love dark chocolate and I love truffles and I also seem to love things that are overpriced and impractical (not that I purposely seek out the overpriced and impractical...it just happens). That said, I love these Vosges dark chocolate truffles and I am seriously wanting their little 9-piece box. # Tlan Nacu (Mexican vanilla bean) # Balsamico (balsamic vinegar + hazelnuts) # Black Pearl (ginger + wasabi + black sesame seeds) # Absinthe (Chinese star anise + fennel) # Finnochio (fennel pollen) # Budapest (Hungarian paprika) # Red Fire (ancho chillies + cinnamon) # Chef Pascal (Kirsch + dried cherry) # Oaxaca (guajillo + pasilla chillies) The flavors in bold are the ones I've tried thanks to a lovely and generous former coworker who had brought them back from Vegas one upon a time ago and I am dying to try the rest of them! These truffles are quite delicious...all of the ones I tried had chocolate ganache centers that were subtly infused with the various flavors. The shell was the perfect thickness and none of the flavors were too overpowering. Come to think of it...I think I want to try all of their truffles...and all of their Couture Cocoas and Exotic Ice Creams while I'm at it! You can try them too by going here and forking over the requisite $25 for your own little nine pieces of heaven. Labels: chocolate, food, vosges 0 Comments (link) Midori |

Friday, April 20, 2007 Alexander McQueen Vinyl Corsage Sandals Ridiculously beautiful but insanely impractical. Reasons why I love this heel: -Beautiful design; normally I hate see-through shoes (clear heels make me think of hookers, clear uppers remind me of 80s-90s jelly shoes) but this shoe makes the black flowers look like they're floating around the ankle. -The reported 120mm high heel (which translates into nearly 4.75 inches!) because you know I looove a super high heel. Reasons why I'll never wear this heel: -As lovely as they are, they only look good on tall, skinny women with long legs. Unfortunately for me, I'm 0 for 3 on that one. -Holy crap...4.75 inches with no platform? -$1,605 BUT...if you are unperturbed by my above reasons for me never getting the shoe, feel free to browse to this page (and to browse away from it $1,605 lighter).

Tuesday, April 17, 2007 Kristopher Dukes There are many things I don't agree with her on. Distaste for waist-belts. Dislike of Sex and the City. Extreme love of fur. Hatred of flip-flops But she will turn down an otherwise beautiful pair of heels for having a heel that is too low (read: under 4"). And for that, I love her :) KristopherDukes.com ps. she also posted about the same pair of bruno frisoni shoes that i did. omega. cool. Labels: blog, kristopher dukes 0 Comments (link) Midori |
