Throughly Mod-Cloth Emily..

Last week, I entered Mod Cloth's "Just for Kicks" contest. The contest asked girls to come up with some witty names for a few new pairs of their shoes (Mod Cloth always come up with the cutest and most pop-culture filled names!). The girl with the most creative name would win the shoes in their size, along with their name associated with the shoe. I entered every day, just for fun (or kicks, if you will). But today I got an e-mail, telling me that I won one of the pairs of shoes!

I dubbed my winning kicks - a pair of bright blue sneaks with an orange and grey striped lining - The Honest to Blog Hi-Tops. I thought the stripes were very Juno-esque and so, I gave them a name which referenced one of the most quoted lines from Diablo Cody's kickass script (that woman is a god). Apparently, they liked my train of thinking. Here's what they had to say about my entry:

"The bright, fun sneakers from Day 2 demanded something equally effervescent. We loved Emily’s Juno reference in her winning name, Honest to Blog Hi -Tops!"

DO YA LOVE IT!?! (I feel a Sneakernight comin' on!)

P.S. - Check out their totally boss description of the kicks here.

Honest to blog?

This tis' my first post on this blog. I'm not quite sure if I'll actually continue this but I thought, hey, let's give it a go. Plus, I need to kill some time before I go out and see I Love You, Man with my boyfriend Jason Segel.

Fun factoid of the day: In the movie, Jason was supposed to be a drummer, but then they realized that Nick Andopolis was a drummer and so they made him a guitarist instead. I kind of wish they'd kept it that way so that I could have some faux confirmation that Nick met Neal Peart (Rush is in the movie!), became an uber-famous drummer and gave up on his disco dreams. Oh yeah, and then he somehow reunited with Lindsay, fell madly back in love again and had four Rush-loving children with her. That's not too much to ask is it?
