A Diamond in the Rough

Over the weekend, I spent my Saturday afternoon volunteering at The Meatloaf Kitchen, a soup kitchen that serves fresh wholesome meals restaurant style to New Yorkers down on their luck.  It’s truly an amazing program and a much-needed addition to this city.  When I tweeted that I was spending the morning volunteering, I was very touched to see my Twitter blowing up with messages of how giving back made me a true socialite.  However, I think that I may have gotten more out of it than the people I helped while handing out clothes in the Meatloaf Boutique.

In the process of being one of the Meatloaf Kitchen’s resident stylists for the day, I came across these vintage Alexander McQueen flats and couldn’t help, but snap a picture.  I wonder if they were designed by McQueen himself when he was still alive.  Having been incredibly touched by my experience volunteering, I plan on going back once a month.
