More Shoes

Do I have a problem? Very possibly…

I’ve been craving leopard print lately if you can’t tell. The first one I probably wouldn’t wear but I’d like to buy the second one at some point.

I really like these…

but they’re $245, which is a bit much. So I started looking for something similar that was a little [...]

The Power of Accessories

After reading Sal’s latest post about accessories, I started thinking. I LOVE her example of the LBD – how “a punk, a prep, and a princess” would each make it their own. So I started thinking – how would I make it my own? This is what I came up with:

Little Black Dress by declinedesigns

Daily Outfit (and Gratuitous Cuteness)

Here’s what I wore today:

sweater from Pac Sun, jeans from HT, studded belt from Wet Seal, boots from eBay, necklace from Etsy, jacket from DEB
Yeah, apparently the picture gods were not with me today, because the picture with Giles in it was the best one I could get. And then we have this gem:

mhm. I [...]

The Joys of Vintage Sewing Machines

When I started this blog, I meant to post a lot more DIY. I had tutorials in mind and everything. Unfortunately, since starting my new job (which, as you may recall, happened around the same time as the beginning of this blog), I really haven’t had a lot of time for DIYing. It makes the [...]

Black Friday Finds

First off, I think it’s absolutely disgusting what happened at the Long Island Wal-Mart. I know I joked about the evils of Black Friday yesterday but seriously? If you walk on someone on your way in the store and don’t stop to help them up because of the fear you might not get the sale [...]

Ah, the holidays.

Happy Turkey/Tofurkey/Turducken/etc. day. I personally am not a huge fan of Thanksgiving, being a vegetarian. And I’m not a huge fan of most of my extended family. That makes me sound like a terrible wretch, I know. But a. I can hardly eat anything that ends up being served and b. one side of my [...]

Eye Candy: Shoes

On the shoes note, I sent the Guess Borda back. I’m not sure if my feet are a little wider than normal or what but I personally found them REALLY uncomfortable. Like, after sitting in them for 20ish minutes my feet were starting to ache. They cramped my ball-of-foot area so badly it wasn’t funny. [...]

Cost vs. Value

There are several things to consider when buying a garment or accessory, too many times we just fall into the trap of looking at how much it is and assuming many things about the item from that. There’s the cost per wear, for instance. My Betseyville boots were $115, but I’ve already worn them 3-4 [...]

Probably about the best…

..thing I’ve had said to me in a while:
Do people ever tell you you are really intimidating? Every picture you post on here — even the ones where you look just as cute as a button — i would be afraid to get caught in a dark alley with you. Just sayin’, you’re a tough [...]
