what I'm after

(Handknit tam from pandapammy on etsy, Pelle Moda 'Neena' Gladiator Sandals, Nars Lip Lacquer in Chelsea Girls, AA Unisex Space Scape Jersey T in Mushroom Cloud)

An extremely truncated wishlist of the moment. I've been trying to save my money for my upcoming trip to California so I can really let loose in the thrift stores (and when I let loose in a thrift store, I implore you, stand back). But when I return, depending on the damage done, I hope to make a few of these pretty things mine.

Magic shoes

As the more astute amongst you may have noticed, I also picked up a new pair of shoes on Saturday! I have been looking for a pair of simple, brown, old fashioned t-strap shoes for, oh, I don't know, MY WHOLE LIFE, and they were half off to boot, rounding out at a smooth $8! They remind me of something that liebemarlene might wear, and that is a very, very good thing.

Ask and you shall receive!




Saturday was a most fortuitous day. Outside of making a cool $40, I scored this sweet, sweet cordurouy vest at Buffalo Exchange. It wasn't until I got home that I discovered it to be fully reversible (and to a plaid flannel, no less). That's like two slammin' vests for the price of one!

girly crushes

Chloe Sevigny is my #1. Who is yours?

They rocked pretty hard in the 80's (but then, didn't we all?)

Yes, I am nerd, and yes, this is an Arrested Development-themed tote bag that I bought from cafepress.com although, truth be told, I could probably have done a comparable job with a blank tote bag from Pearl Art and a Sharpie. Nevertheless, I am pleased.

I am not so pleased, however, with the boots. They are something of a spectacular failure. I just added up in my head how much I spent to purchase them, have them re-soled, and then buy foam inserts for them and I almost threw up a little in my mouth. And they still do not fit. I really hope that, at very least, I have learned some sort of lesson from all this, but I have my doubts...
