Fierce L.A.M.B. shoes brighten my day

This morning I woke up with the finals week blues and was in desperate need of a pick-me-up. It thankfully came only a few hours later in my e-mail's inbox. In my previous article on shopping outside of the mall, I expressed how I frequently shop via online sample sale sites, such as Hautelook, Gilt Groupe, and Rue La La. Well, just about every morning these sites send me updates on their active sales.

Today, I received notification that L.A.M.B. shoes, bags, and watches were available on Gilt Groupe for a fraction of their regular retail price. I could not get my fingers going fast enough as I typed away at the keyboard. Of course, my anxiety tricked my fingers into spelling G - L - I - T - . - C - O - M instead of G - I - L - T - . - C - O -M perpetuating my excitement. Oh the power of fashion. Anyways, when I finally signed into my Gilt Groupe account I felt like a kid entering an online candy store.

Here are some of the shoes I thought were really interesting/fabulous. Let me know what you think!

I hadn't really taken Gwen Stefani seriously as a designer until her recent Fall 2010 RTW collection (click the link to view- it's worth the browse...trust me). This collection showcases that after seven years, Stefani is finally narrowing in on her fashion niche. Her collection plays with more of a vintage-meets-boudoir-meets-military vibe. I noticed this collection had a lot of belts, harem pants, and leather, and the overall color pallet is subtle with mostly blacks and grays. Of course, the collection has rocker undertones, which makes sense considering Stefani's experience in the music industry.

Here are a few of my favorite looks from her Fall 2010 RTW collection:

Not to mention how humble Stefani is. Romney Leader of style.com writes:

"She pointedly didn't name the label after herself, because she wanted people to buy the clothes for their own merits and not 'because of me.'"

What do you think about L.A.M.B.? Do you like the shoes I posted? Why/why not? Let me know =)
