coolest part of this video is not here. i was wearing my elbow leather gloves and decided to pile on some volume with my wool fingerless mittens. pretty awesome, but a bit much for the look, i thought. so went with this simpler effect.
i'm not sure how comfortable i look in heels...but i love these. STILL learning how to walk in them. i like to think of myself as bambi, learning to use his legs:

and not like this:

although, being a klutz does have its good points sometimes:

new fascination

i have always been partial to stripes. i'm broad-shouldered for a girl so i have also always heard that horizontal stripes are not suited for folks of my...er...latitude. they are better suited for frail, willowy frames.
given the versatility, however, i am disregarding all that rot in the hunt for a perfect collection of simple, versatile tops.

one hell of a week

i love these two. i think i could wear the second silhouette comfortably for the rest of my days with slight variations on footwear and accessories. would definitely need multiples. a girl can dream. more realistically: i have come up with another item for my short term long term wishlist. yeah, it's hard to keep up. i have a ton of bags and have been experimenting with different shapes and sizes to find what best suits my frame and is most comfortable. i have the bag in mind (sort of a soft briefcase with double straps for over the shoulder wear, but not too long) but have been unable to find anything that suits my fancy. i have wanted a jerome dreyfuss billy (visible in the second look) for awhile however. the leather looks amazing and the bag could be used for daily wear with most of the items i already own. so, in addition to those over knee shearling boots, i'd like one of these please. now to find a perfect top.
having a bit of a crap week, so watching old 'the city' reruns and looking at style blogs. i feel like dressing up tomorrow.

i would like one (or two, at most) of these items or something ~~cheaper~~ similar. pick one! engage in idle, virtual window shopping with me.

pictures--and substance--tomorrow...or maybe monday when i catch a breather. this blog feels very one-dimensional at times. what say you all? any critiques? this is basically a sneaky way of trying to find something substantial to post about besides my mug in x,y,z shirt/jeans/shoes again. thoughts appreciated.
i think, when it gets really cold, there's little better than a really good sweater. yeah, i rhyme. what of it?

blue sunday

Sounds a bit lame, but this reminds me of life, all these things precariously perched and balanced. you may not even know how all the bits fit together, but the wrong balance can throw you off permanently.
