A package? For me?

Despite general appearances, I do, in fact, have a rather sticky practical streak in me. This is due in no small part to my mother who, while an artist by trade, is a firm pragmatist at heart.

That being said, I just bought some more shoes.



These babies are laying in wait for me at the Post Office. If only I didn't have to be in Manhattan at ten o'clock tomorrow morning! Then, they'd be on my feet.



I was on the fence for days about these, so I missed them the first time around. Half of me is horrified by their potential Pilgrim/Pirate fugly-ness, and all the scary sophomore year theme party ephemera that might somehow follow in their wake. The other half, however, thinks they're just plain badass. The badassery half of me won tonight, when I found them relisted.

When asked for his thoughts on the Great Buckle Boot Conundrum, my friend replied simply with this:



I may be setting myself up for a difficult lifestyle, but it's a small price to pay for all the free Lucky Charms I'll be eating.

Hot to trot!

Since a steady job seems to be well out of my reach at the moment, I'm trying to make ends meet playing catch-as-catch-can, which is why I've just listed these pretty vintage red leather boots on my ebay. It's hard to see here but they have really sweet silver studding details and they are in excellent condition. Ladies of the 7.5, take heed!

must be the coats

This coat is one of my favorite purchases I made during my vacation. I bought it at the Goodwill on Haight Street for $13.99, which is more than I usually like to pay for anything (unless it involves the words "surgery" and "emergency"), but it's not bad for such a lovely camel colored coat, with perfect rows of golden buttons, in almost mint condition. Especially on Haight Street!

Can't get enough of that wonderful BUST!

Just in case you fiends haven't gotten your fill of me (though I guess I can assume that if you've had your fill, you're probably not reading this!) here's a link to the BUST blog entry featuring a couple more photos by the lovely Mackenzie Stroh from the shoot for my Looks page.

Current Obsession:

Oh me! Oh my! The 11th Hours/Lately shoes by Fluevog.

Honestly, I've usually found myself rather put off, and occasionally repulsed, by Fluevog shoes and their awkward, clunky soles (I get chills just thinking about them, sad as that may be...) but these little beauties are in a class all their own. Nay, they are in a stratosphere all their own.

I think I could probably just sit on the edge of my bed, admiring them on my feet for hours upon hours. Come to think of it, maybe it's best I never own them (although there's no real risk anyways, considering the price tag). I would never get anything done, and I would probably develop some sort of incurably degenerative condition caused by constantly staring at my shoes.

That being said, did I mention that they come in black too?



Oh stop it, just stop! Impressionable young girls with $80.00 to their name should simply not be allowed to see such things...
