While in New York, I ended up going to the Barneys Warehouse Sale with Deanne of Dream Sequins, and though it was the last day of the sale, I was super fortunate to score something that has been on my list for a while--gold Givenchy cowboy boots. I don't know if anybody even remembers this boots, but they were from the Spring 2009 Resort collection.

I have to admit they are a little gawdy, very costume-y, and unfortunately none of my costumes this year include a gold Cowboy boot. Walking around in these boots in San Francisco, my friend rolled her eyes as every other person stared at my boots and asked where I got them. For a while I felt like I was a superhero who forgot to take off my boots as I headed off to run my errands for the day--like a superhero in a really flashy getup.

Speaking of superheroes and fashion, who can forget that May 2008 Vogue shoot w/ Coco Rocha in custom Superhero-inspired getups? Here's one by Rick Owens, inspired by Batman...

And also, when it comes to "gold", I can't help but think of that hilarious Monex skit from SNL with the ever-so-hilarious Kristen Wiig... now if only the video existed on the internet...
