Brown Shoes

Usually I frown upon brown shoes. One can't wear them with black, so that's a major pain. I used to have these brown flats with a bow on them and every time I wore them with a dress, they made my feet look like stretched out fudge chunks. Another thing that comes to mind when I think of brown shoes is: Birkenstocks! Not the best looking shoes in the world, but they're really good for feet.

So, I was browsing the Marni website the other day, and I saw a pair of brown shoes. The difference is... I didn't disregard these shoes like I would with any other brown shoe. I wanted these. Somehow Marni has managed to make me want a pair of brown shoes!

Look at this beautiful thing! The brownness looks like marbled caramel!

MoMa Accessories

The Museum of Modern Art's store takes the term "wearable art" to a whole new level.

These pieces of jewelry are made of out everything from oil filters to hand blown venetian glass.









These rings look incredibly realistic.

Months later, I am still in awe of the Chanel Pre-Fall 2008 collection. Mostly the hair...

I really want the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen Influence book right now.

Sitting here on an almost snowy day...

listening to Bjork, looking at editorials from Russian vogue, and wishing I lived in Versailles.
