grrreat!

My recently realized affection for leopard pring has become something of an embarrassment, especially considering my essentially life-long disavowal of animal prints up until this point...I know I know, it's more than a bit trendy but...oooh it just looks so good! I have an amazing vintage leopard print T-shirt dress on hold at a certain Williamsburg buy/sell/trade store that shall remain anonymous. If I go there to pick it up this weekend and find that it's been put back and sold, I think I will literally weep!

Still not going anywhere near zebra print though.

Yet.

d-i-wow

I'm totally in awe of these handmade shoe accessories, made by the Vamoose and inspired by all those beautiful velvet and suede bows on the Chloé A/W 09 runway. Actually...I'm pretty much in total awe of everything this girl does, so check it out!

Maybe it's because, what with the time change, it gets dark so early now. Maybe it's because I keep accidentally dressing in what appears to be all black (that's what happens when your only warm jacket is a big black peacoat, and you're too lazy to figure out which colorful pair of tights doesn't clash with your outfit...ahhhhhh tights how I hate'choo!!!) Maybe it's that I'm itching to take a trip to the oppostie hemisphere.

Actually, it's all those things--and more--that have me wishing it could be Spring again already.

If you haven't heard of Nerd Boyfriend, do yourself a favor and check it out. I just declared my love over on the FADER blog this afternoon. Prepare to be smitten!

Sweet, sweet jebus. I thought I wanted those Surface to Air buckle sandals ever since I saw this photo on Garance Doré...until today, when I found out they're making them in leopard print.



This takes it to a completely new, uncharted level of obsession. Oh cruel world!! This is 100% the kind of shit I would "invest" in, if I had anything remotely resembling an "income".
