Shoe D’Jour : My new gladiators
Since American Rag was having a sale, and it’s in my neighborhood, I stopped in, and found these Repetto mini gladiators… they are a bit unusual, but the leather was so nice and they felt so nice on my feet, they were marked down to $35, so I had to get them.
Upon getting home, [...]
Shoe D’Jour : Pink Suede Shoes
For some reason, I always miss my hot pink shoes. Gave them away a year ago, and it’s like a phantom limb… so I just won these vintage pink flats on eBay. Perfect Sunday shoes…
Can’t wait to get them!
Friends that give me books
Over the past few days I received two books relating to Japan. And Sweden. The first book, from Christina & Sara of Mori & Mimosa is Stockholm’s Ateliers a Japanese book that peaks into the studios and workshops of Stockholm’s creative scene. I really liked it because not only is a cool studio tour, [...]
Holiday Dress: the beginning
Every year my work does this fancy holiday party. It’s one of the few times a year I can wear a cocktail dress and people will be happy to see it! So naturally, I’m excited about the prospect, and was thinking of wearing a vintage 80’s prom dress, but I couldn’t find one [...]
Shoe D’Jour: 80’s purple
Mascara Vintage is one of my regular stops in my neighborhood. Cara got in some new goodies, and I snagged these ones almost before I even tried them on. I mean come on, cut-out booties, with zipper, in electric purple? Stilettos? $30? Holy moly…. I can’t wait to wear them…
What I am wearing to SFFW
It dawned on me that Fashion Week is right around the corner… And I really don’t know what to wear. I look in my closet, and most of it, is a collection of bits and pieces from thrift shoppes, consignment places, H&M, and Loehmans. I really don’t spend that much money on one piece, [...]
Fur (the faux kind)
Today I’ve been taking it easy. Been feeling a bit headachey and queasy, so today, I stayed home from work and slept. I left the house to pick up some movies and the gravitational pull of the thrift shoppe pulled me in. (I guess I’m never too sick to shop) I did find a faux [...]
Target run
Sunday my friend and I went down to Target. It’s really not a place one can go unsupervised. Everytime I go alone, for laundry detergent, I end up in a panic attack because my cart is full of things ‘I actually need’ and I’m about to drop three digits. So needless to say, I try [...]
Bank
Last night on my way home, I stopped in my local thrift shoppe, Out of the Closet, and picked up a few items on the cheap… one of them being a striped tie. I immediately wanted to play dress up, like a sexed up Annie Hall or something…
Since beginning my new blog The Poste Office, [...]
F&Art sent me a shopping bag!
Yesterday, I came home, checked the mail… and lo and behold, a package from Germany! I’m tickled pink (literally!) only a week ago, Mahret, from F&Art posted about these Susan Bijl shopping bags… completely Dutch in design sensibility, I just fell in love instantly, but they aren’t available in the US… so Mahret & [...]
