the ones that got away

As someone who is both an avid stalker of Etsy AND avidly unemployed, I've amassed quite a collection of items that I couldn't manage to justify purchasing over the last few months, but also can't quite bare to delete off my favorites page now that they're sold. A little bit of e-commerce masochism, I guess.

Unsurprisingly, pretty much all of them seem to involve a platform. This is because my fantasy life involves my living in a world where I can one, afford to buy wildly impractical vintage shoes off the internet, and two, manage to walk around all day in said shoes without falling on my face or giving a rat's ass if people think I'm insane.


Do you guys do this to yourself too? What's the item you most regret letting get away? Haha, and sorry if this is dredging up some bad memories...

On the prowl//OMGiallo!

1)
snow leopard

Meet the newest addition to my feline arsenal:

Snow Leopard! It's like regular leopard print, only kinda chilled out and stuff. Also, is it just me or are baby snow leopards even cuter than baby regular leopards? I think it's the blue eyes. No doubt you can see the family resemblance??

So I am reeeaaalllyyy not supposed to be doing any shopping before my trip, but today my resolve imploded like the Kingdome and I bought these crazy-ass shoes. I mean, come oooooon. They're canary yellow, they're hairy, and I had just enough credit at Beacon's to make them technically free. Funnily enough I think they're by a Japanese brand? Also:

OMGiallo!

They make me approximately one billion feet tall (which in my case actually means just, like, normal amounts of tallness.)

...this is just a tribute

I tromped all over town today (...and by all over town, I mean the three buy/sell/trade stores where I can actually afford to buy things...) looking for a great pair of heels to wear out tomorrow, but to no avail. Wont someone just sell off their damn pink suede YSL Tributes already?? Size 38, if you please...
