Wicked Whimsy

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 closer to my price range… (even though it’s the middle of winter and strappy stilettos are NOT the most practical thing to own now)

I also found these…

Don’t know if they ship to the US though.

And some truly hideous wingtip-inspired peep-toe brown-on-brown wedges I saw online made me want to find some wingtip-inspired heels that weren’t hideous. Here’s what I got:

Also, I’m pretty psyched because Trashy Diva has some dresses on super-sale…I might get my retro style LBD after all! sahweet.

For some reason, I’ve decided I want to try hat-making, even though I haven’t even sewn anything (except for the broken purse strap) in two weeks. We were watching Leatherheads and the cloches Renee Zellweger’s character wore throughout the movie were absolutely divine.

And on a totally un-fashion-related note, I am kind of annoyed at Planned Parenthood right now. When I went in to get birth control in the first place, I told them that I needed something that would help with cramps. Because seriously folks, I have killer cramps from the ninth level of hell. They told me the pill they were putting me on would help, and that if it didn’t, I’d be able to switch to a different pill no problem. Well, it doesn’t help. I mean, it helps, but in a takes-the-edge off kind of way, not in a happy cramp-free sort of way. So I tell them that about a month or so ago when I went to pick up a new pack, and NOW they say that if I want to change pills I have to schedule a consultation, which is $40, first. The pill packs are already $27 apiece. I was just planning on going straight from pack to pack without taking the placebo pills until I got insurance and then going to the doctor and getting something that would actually help with cramps, but as it turns out, you can only sign up for benefits and insurance once a year and that’s in December. I won’t have been there for 90 days until late January-ish. SO I won’t have insurance until Matt and I get married in May. GRRRRR. Anyways, I totally lost track of the reason I’m currently annoyed, which is because they were closed on black Friday when I went by to get another pack, which means that I couldn’t skip my placebo pills this month, which means I’m in for three hellish days in the next week. lame. as. hell.
