Obsessed!

 I am so in love with these Osborn shoes that I do not know what to 

do with myself. Coming off of my oxford high, still in love

with my Guatemalan batwing jacket, and day dreaming

about ankle booties for fall - I am so hooked on these shoes. 

Made in Guatemala and so distinct and amazing. 

Which ones do I choose!?

Pooped!

womp womp womp. All I have to offer is snapshots 

from the weekend. 

Ava got her early birthday present, mostly because 

I could not deal with the drama of another item 

on my checklist. 

Best is that we got them from the rink so they 

are super duper fancy with crazy fuzzy green boot covers

(inside) to keep them from getting scuffed!

Slept in them on the way home from the rink. 

While out and about, we went to the grower for some

new tree friends. We found some. And, I took

home the bonzai junipers in the vintage Santas too. 

How I love vintage Santa! yay me. 

There was an EXTREME level of planting 

happening this weekend.  We are running a plant 

grows bigger, gets transferred into a new pot 

every two weeks program around here. 

Some of the bigger planties got new permanent

homes this weekend. The 'side' garden has

wrapped around the corner. 

More pots. 

Friend breezed in and out. Brought

Cambodian luxuries...

And, there was some succulent replanting as well. 

Side note.. these new Paul Green 'Evony' sandals of mine

are making me kind of happy. They are like walking 

on big pillows! I highly recommend them!!

I know, quite the snoozefest. There were some fab 

parties and dinners in there. 

Perhaps I will have more to offer tomorrow. 

mine!

It is really a small miracle when you see vintage shoes that are 

over size 8. People were just smaller in the past? ha. 

Anyway.. these are mine! All mine!

Although, my shoe desires are not fully satisfied at this 

moment. I have become weather-inappropriately 

obsessed with the ankle boot. 

I think I will have to carry this obsession through summer and 

then do something about it.

love love

It is really amazing how affordable cute shoes are getting!

This is why I love Jeffrey Campbell. 

'Mary Rocks' at the Need Supply Co. for $118!

[Seen on Notcouture - so good for little surprises]

i am a sucker for affordability. 

Remember THESE?

The wait is over!

I have been patiently waiting to find some new-vintage 

oxfords since the summer. 

A lover of pastels in the winter, I was sad to find that 

these were not my size.

I dreamed about them. I sketched them into lines of clothing. 

I waited patiently until a new pair in my elephant size 9 showed up. 

But it became clear that a pair of size 9 vintage oxfords was not going

to show up this season. 

So, I decided that I would go get a new new

 pair yesterday at Bloomies. 

Bloomies has a lot to offer in the oxford department...

from Bloch

from Boutique 9

from Belle by Sigerson Morrison

from Joan and David. 

After looking online, I decided that I would look

 for this pair when I went into

 the store. But, then I forgot what I had decided and ended

 up trying on five pairs instead. 

And.. my favorite were these bad boys.

But in this  already dirtied color...

Yay me! It's life transformation time.. new shoes, getting my 

hair did and I worked out yesterday(yes). 

tuesday blahs

ok, so this is turning into a shoe blog and I'm sorry.

I will blog about clothing and other nonsense

again shortly.

Hello to the new TOMS Cordones shoe!

This shoe is very cute.

more fashionable

TOM's shoe world here.

Happy blah Tuesday!

even poor people can have fun!

Apparently, the hot news broke this morning on WWD that

Jimmy Choo is doing a line for H&M. The line will

debut on November 14th(a little late for the bday, tear)

with a limited Spring 10 collection. I feel excited.

A press shot of two new shoes for H&M

I was distraught earlier in the year when I could

not rationalize the over $1100 purchase of the super hot

Glenys shoe. The ads for this shoe made me extremely

desperate to the point of tearing them out and collecting them.

But there is new hope today.. perhaps some affordable cuteness

is in our future??

POW

Gloomy this morn. These are NOT gloomy.
