Etsy Seller of the day





I am loving these utterly romantic fashions from Etsy seller SarahSeven. Some days I think
maybe I would like to shop exclusively on etsy to support independent and up and coming
designers. If only I could know whether the clothes would fit before ordering, although
being able to do custom orders cuts back on a little of the guesswork.

Think Spring!


It's 55 degrees in New York today and even though it's supposed to drop
back down to 34 by Monday I'm still thinking Spring! With these gorgeous
painterly BCBG shoes I could really be in a Springy kind of mood. Of course
at 4.25" I doubt that I could walk with a Spring in my step.... Ok ok many
appologees for the horrible Spring pun!

Ok, a little bit off topic, but I ... must... make... these!

Hayden Harnett


Hayden Harnett do over the knee boots: 2.5" heels, pretty
leather with a zip up the back, might even fit my calves,
and on sale to boot... tempting... tempting...

Sale item of the day


Black checked cropped jacket from Cynthia Vincent, 67% off in
Bluefly's Presidents' day sale.

Motorcycle Madness



Apparently I was obsessed with motorcycles as a child. My mom worried I would
run off and join a motorcycle gang when I grew up. Luckily that never came to
pass, but I still have a fondness for biker chic. The tough girl clothing in
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles recently got me thinking about biker
fashion again. I love the plethora of boots they dress the characters in, especially
the pair in the upper right.


I've been looking for a sturdy pair of biker boots for awhile now. These Belted
Harness boots from Frye are pretty nice, but perhaps a tad too western for the
look I'm going for.


These two strappy pairs by Fiorentini & Baker fit the bill quite nicely especially the
pair with a bit of a heel, but alas they are quite pricey (Bi-Black, and 704 Buckle).


For a cheaper alternative, Steve Madden has these very similar looking strapped
boots.

Dilemma dilemma


Wait in line for the Target pop-up shop featuring the new
Alexander McQueen Go International collection, or spend
Valentine's day with my honey? That studded denim
jacket is pretty cool... ;)
