Marvelous Monday!

One of the best DIY’s I’ve seen in a long time: Leather OTK Boot Spats.  Hello, way to join in on a fall trend without shelling out the big bucks! This editorial at Haute Macabre is effing awesome: Circus, Circus. Ashe Mischief has a touching post on the anniversary of Katrina. I think this is…

Wardrobe Challenge: No Black

We all get stuck in our own little sartorial ruts sometimes, and when I find myself in such a rut, the easiest thing to do is to issue myself a challenge. The challenge usually makes me think outside of my usual box and gets the creativity flowing enough to push me back out of the…

Birds of a Fether

I found this video via Bitching and Junkfood: A collaboration between Erin Fetherston and director Marissa Crawford, the video was meant to be a “fashion fairytale”. It’s a neat little video, full of eye candy – poofy skirts and sequinned masks. It comes across as very Pied Piper to me – except for the part…

Marvelous Monday!

This week is short and sweet! (and a little photo heavy…) I love that I can watch the latest season of Project Runway on MyLifetime.com. Total victory for those of us who don’t watch tv or have cable! (or, uh, either in my case!) I love Jaka’s Wholestyle Manifesto. When the Beastie Boys Met Cross-Stitch….

There Will Always Be Something

Something what, you ask? Something bad, something icky, something to worry and obsess and nitpick over. I’m not sure how other peoples’ body insecurities manifest, but me? I tend to pick one annoying detail and obsess over it. To no end. A few months ago it was my stomach, I was absolutely I was getting…

Sale at Heels.com!

Right now, Heels.com is running a promotion for $20 off any order of $50 or more. I’m abstaining from shoes for a while* because, well, the rest of my wardrobe is getting mad at me for not paying attention to it, but I thought I’d pass the good news on to you and show you…

Guest Post at the Demoiselles!

I wrote a guest post for the Demoiselles and it went up today. In case you aren’t a regular reader of TD (why not?!), they have an amazing blog that covers body image issues, sexism in advertising, and a whole host of other things. I love the Demoiselles and applaud Miss Elle and Jen for…

Marvelous Monday!

And HOW awesome is this?! First liberty spikes ever! Ashe Mischief has some thoughts on Quality vs. Vegan/Environmentally Sustainable. I’d never seen this blog before, but EPIC FAIL, or, Please Do Not Bash the Gays made me laugh out loud several times. Also, it turns out that the bike is in fact not too big…

Sand Animation

This is absolutely breathtaking: Found via Amanda Palmer’s blog, where one of the commenters says: At work this was passed around and a coworker of mine who speaks Russian detailed this a bit more: “For those that do not understand Russian: it starts with the original radio announcement on June 22, 1941 German army invading…

Beta Boutique

I just discovered this lovely little Etsy shop, and I thought I’d pass the lovelies on to you! It looks like there’s a pretty nice variety of eras, from the 60′s onwards, and the prices are great (most items are under $40, although there are some that are higher). There’s an okay variety of sizes,…
