Glam Slam: Sorry, Christian Louboutin See You Next Time!

First Published: November 10, 2011 1:27 PM EST Credit: WireImage LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Caption Lea Michele and Christian Louboutin attend the Christian Louboutin 20th Anniversary and Book Launch at Barneys NY in Beverly Hills on November 3, 2011 SooooooI got this really fabulous invite to a party at Barneys NY in Beverly Hills celebrating Christian Louboutins 20th anniversary. Most people would RSVP STAT, right?! I wanted to go, but can you believe I didnt? For one thing, I had nothing to wear. I dont have fancy, going out clothes anymore, but the real problem was that I didnt have any Christian Louboutin shoes to wear and I knew that everyone else there was gonna be decked out in all their red-soled glory! And they were! Lea Michele was there. So were Dita Von Teeseand Solange Knowles among other celebs. Sowhat was I doing instead of hobnobbing with Mr. Louboutin? Well, I was across town at the Grove at another store party, which also had a reserved guest list. Where? I was with my husband and two-year-old daughter at the Pottery Barn Kids Customer Appreciation shopping event where the store closed down for invited guests and we got to shop at a 10 percent discount! While Hollywood was sipping champagne and eating fancy hors doeuvres, I was drinking water and watching my two-year-old devour the cheese plate they brought in. You know what? I was ok with that. In fact, I had a blast. My daughter took over the store, playing in the toy kitchen and pushing a stroller filled with dolls. We bought a couple of very fashionable dolls, one in a black velvet party dress and the very chic and stylish Uptown Girl doll, that are perfect for tea parties. So did I make the right choice? Fashion fanatics would probably think I was crazy to pass up meeting the legendary designerwhile moms might say I made the right decision. All I know is that not only did I get some Christmas shopping out of the way (yay!), I had a fabulous time with my daughter and husband, and in the end, thats more important than being fabulous.
