Sicknasty

Duuuuuuude! I just saw these sicknasty rings by Valerie Rubinaccio via One Hot Child in the City

Personally, I find a lot of high fashion chain type things hard to pull off, but these are not too tough and I am always toting around a monstrousity of bangles and rings. And these beauties don't seem to heavy or fierce. They are just the right proportion of fierce. But for seventy bucks, I'm not sure they merrit the splurge.

The abbove pictures make them seem beautiful and, well, classy is not the right word, but...nice? Anyways, the pictures on the Valerie Rubinaccio site where you can actually purchase them look, well, cheap.

Cram Session

I caved on my resolution not to buy shoes and clothing on Etsy anymore, since I often end up not liking what I buy. It is an unfortunate dilemma. It all looks so good online, but then once in my possession, most stuff is to big, or too small, or just plain not what it looked like in the pictures.



These boots, while totally adorable, make me feel like I have clown feet. I am so used to my Dr. Martin's, that while chunky, somehow give the illusion of small feet. Not that I have big feet; I am not even pretending to complain about my solid 7.5 tosies. However, the slenderness of the Justin boots, much like cowboy boots, do give the illusion of longer feet.


Oh, and they are a size 7. They fit, but certainly pinch. I am hoping that with some wear they will mold to my feet more accurately.


Now, this sweater that lookes oh-so-cute here, is shorter and baggier than I had invisioned. If you're going to be baggy, then be long. If you're going to be short, then be fitted. The combo of the two simply does not work on my body.

However, all is not lost. I am confident that I will be able to work both pieces into my wordrobe effectively.

Stretch It

In a fit of complete un-me-ness I bought these:


I'm not quite sure what came over me. I tried them on as more of a joke, but when I stepped out of the dressing room to view myself in the full length mirror I was shocked to find that not only did they not repulse me, but I actually loved them in an odd way.


I also do not have a crazy-skinny bod like the ladies modeling in the pictures do, but somehow they don't look horrible.



My only complaint would be how high the pockets are. I love how the pockets take them past leggings, almost to the point of being pants. But this would be pulled off way more effectively if they were placed where pockets generally are.

Big Brown Bug Bag

Somehow this past Sunday was my first foray into a flea market of the season. Which is almost over! However, my patience paid off and I ended up with a bag full of goodies.

First and foremost I scored the bestest tooled big brown bug bag that oh so perfectly fits all of my school things. From the same stand I scored a little red purse, as well as a pair of earrings and a ring that got thrown in with the bags.

In addition, I found two whole dresses, two flowery treys, a big flowered jar, a super snazzy old green kitchen scale, a metal bug bracelet, and some ridiculous bright teamster pins.

Sometimes my lack of digi-cam-ness is sad because I can't just snap some quick pictures to illustrate my words. Maybe I will snag a friends sometime soon because the bug bag is just too cool for words alone.

Monkeying Around

I love the look of Snoozer Looser's new fall collection. Now, most of it I wouldn't actually wear due to a combination of price point and and just plain not my style. However, I simply love the way they incorporated monkeys into their photos in a way that is neither cheezey nor childish.

Want 5 free songs?

Grrrr

Unfortunately, my budget will simply not allow for one of these fierce little lions to chomp away at my knuckles.
