Little shoes and a moustache

My new shoes! They turned out to be even better than I thought, and although I did almost fall on my arse a few times today it was totally worth it. They make my feet look mighty small and dainty.



I think maybe George Harrison's moustache would like to get to know my new shoes a little better, if you know what I'm sayin'.

If I ever need a reason to smile

A beautiful song sung by a beautiful man, no question. But what struck me the most about this video was the feathers! Todd's costume is amazing, and all those little feathers around his eyes are so lovely. And then I wondered, where else had I seen feathers like this recently?



Alexander McQueen, S/S 2008! Todd Rundgren, fashion muse? HECK YES.

Orange peels

I'm wearing the blouse I bought Thursday, but sadly these photos don't do it an ounce of justice. It's the palest lemon yellow linen with these amazing embroidered details on the cuffs and collar that look to me sometimes like hearts and sometimes kidney beans! I liked the way the little lacey bits peaked out of my coat.



It's stunning, really. I love finding vintage pieces like this, where it's clear how much effort and care was put into crafting it. It seems like the only way to find craftmanship like that these days is to shell out the big bucks. That's another reason why, for the most part, I only buy vintage shoes. Even though they're old and have likely already gotten some use, the vintage shoes I buy (for the most part) last five times as long, and are five times as comfortable, as the new shoes I can buy for the same price.

Anyhow, it seems like I'm coming down with a cold and have allowed myself to wallow in bed all morning, spilling clementine peels absolutely everywhere. Sadly, its about time to drag myself out of bed, and into work. After getting home at 12:30 am last night, it kind of feels like I never left...

You broke my heart cuz I couldn't dance

I went shopping today! I traded in a few things at Buffalo Exchange and got a lovely blouse and a dress in return, and put a bazillion things on hold as well. This was a pretty momentous outting for me, as it's been so long since I allowed myself to buy clothes. I also got one of the pairs of eBay shoes (and they are amazing!), and the other is waiting for me at the P.O. So soon, hopefully, I'll be doing a decent "oooh lookit mah clothez!" post.

Until then however:

The holiday season is upon us, and that means parties: cocktail, office, family, you name it, someone's bound to fête it. So don't make an arse of yourself out there on the dance floor! Take a few tips from the hardest working man in showbiz. The funky chicken never looked so fine.

Two of the best things I've seen in a long time
