don't put your trust in walls

the other day while throwing on my favorite uniqlo jeans it hit me: that for all the pairs of jeans i have, i only wear like, mayyyybe four pairs on constant rotation? so today i officially counted: 22 pairs of jeans. and yet, i stick with a select few options day after day after month after month (low-rise skinny thankyouverymuch!)... and sure, i hear you: "why don't you just donate the ones you don't wear?!" or "why don't you sell them on ebay/buffalo exhange/etc?!" but i mean, what if one i don't wear now and sell suddenly comes back in style in a few months?! that wide-leg railroad stripe pair might really be the new hot thing for fall 2012! i just can't take the chance that i had in my possession the hippest cut of a future season! ...aaaaaand such is the sickness in my fashion obsessed brain.

i just wanna be there beside you when the night comes

fall is almost here and therefore my craving for a kickass pair of boots is in overdrive... new york magazine has a great shop-a-matic feature that i'm currently way obsessed with...

i can smell the sunlight on your skin

definitely been watching a bit too much of hbo's "true blood"  when as i'm surfing etsy.com i come across this and think eric would totally rock this totally goth, totally vampiric passport cover... maybe the gang will journey to transylvania in season 3?

gimme gimme

i just can't ever get enough boots. buckles, zippers, low heel, high heel, no heel, summer, winter, fall, i want them all (see what i did there?). honestly i think it mostly has to do with the fact that my wide feet absolutely positively do not look good in dainty little strappy sandals. seriously. one of the most traumatic events of my life was shopping for gold sandals to wear to the senior prom. my sister and best friend can vouch for this. so i generally prefer to cover my boats up, even in the humid nyc summer. preferably in a pair of these badass beauties. 

she must be stopped

i really cannot get enough of black booties... the more laces and zippers, the better.

Everybody Wang-chung tonight

i think it's safe to say that youd be hard pressed to find a current fashionista that isn't head over heels obsessed with alexander wang. i mean, the guy just gets the downtown rock and roll aesthetic. thankfully, for those of us that can't afford his kickass $500 creations (exhibit a: swoon!), he's come out with a t-shirt line that keeps the prices around $100 and below. now, the mid-westerner in me still thinks that $70 for a freakin tank top is criminal, but the new yorker that is ever-emerging thinks that is a small price to pay to get some wang into my life. you too can ogle the new T alexander wang line on shopbop.com (photo via shopbop.com)
