My God, there are some weird and fascinating trends here: Shiny puffer jackets with fur-trimmed hoods — mostly guys, but some girls. I might actually buy one. Rabbit fur scarves, accessories & trim — people don’t seem the least bit bothered by real fur here. I confess I did buy some furry earmuffs. Shorts with… Continue reading Tokyo Fashion Express

Project O’ The Day
Less than one minute into my work day, my right sandal fell apart. Specifically, the two industrial staples and two deep nail/rivet things popped right out of the wooden footbed, leaving nothing to hold down the leather strap keeping my foot in the sandal. GRR! However, no task is too daunting for this handy lass.… Continue reading Project O’ The Day
The Infinity Sandal
Okay, so technically they’re called mohop. But The Infinity Sandal is a damn good nickname! Normally, I consider the blurbs from Seattle Picks to be a tad too recycled and wordy (I know, I know, soooo ironic) for my taste. But this one really looks like a gem. And in case you haven’t realized, that… Continue reading The Infinity Sandal
HOBO failure
Holy crap, has HOBO International failed us this time. I literally did a triple take a few weeks ago when I stumbled upon this display at Nordstrom — trust me, the photo doesn’t do it justice, because these bags will SCAR YOUR RETINAE. The colors are the same fluorescent neons of my 80s childhood, and… Continue reading HOBO failure
Aah, Choo!
I swore I wouldn’t wear heels at my wedding. I SWORE. I didn’t want to be any taller, I didn’t want to be uncomfortable, and I didn’t want to trip when I walked down the aisle or danced with my dad. But guess what? JIMMY CHOOS AT THE RACK FOR $100. Beautiful, delicate off-white silk… Continue reading Aah, Choo!
Fashion Week 2008
A couple weeks ago, the gals from Go Fug Yourself put out a call for questions about Fashion Week. So I did… and they answered some of my questions in their Fashion Week follow-up, and even left two with my original wording! Here are my questions (my wording in bold): Do people recognize you at… Continue reading Fashion Week 2008
Shopping Hacks
I’m such a cheater. I’m a sucker for 2-for-1 deals and free shipping minimums, so I often wind up ordering extra things I don’t really need in order to get a discount. Usually, this winds up being something I’d use up anyway, like shampoo, so it’s no big deal. But recently, I feel deeply in… Continue reading Shopping Hacks
Isn’t irony fun?
One of life’s cruel ironies: I seem to have gone down a notch in my favorite belt lately. But I can’t tell if it’s because I lost weight, or because my leather belt got stretched out. Don’t mess with my head like that, Belt! It’s just not right. Belts should come pre-stretched the way clothing… Continue reading Isn’t irony fun?
Fall Fashion Tips
On our trip to the UK, Grant and I spotted some new fashion trends that ranged from adorable to amusing to abjectly painful. And I know this is waaaay old, given that I should’ve actually posted it back when we returned from the UK in early October… but alas, better late than never. These trends… Continue reading Fall Fashion Tips
Man, what a boring blog!
Seriously. Who even reads this? Thanks to Christian’s help, I can now sort of answer that question, but it doesn’t help much. I pretty much just get spam comments for Levitra now. Which is truly my own fault — it’s been SO LONG since I’ve paid this poor blog proper attention. The hiatus has been… Continue reading Man, what a boring blog!
