I finally got my nails did in the Opi bright Apple red and thus finally broke my Miss Sixty Baby Seafoam Suede Gladiator Sandals. Yes, I too have given in to the Gladiator look. I too… Biking at night through the city without bike lights is a bit scary but luckily the gold straps were my personal reflectors.
Got these at a sample sale for $70. Retailing for about $150. Eww! Who buys things regular price anymore!
I want to wear this entire outfit all summer long. And you know how much I love stripes.
Outfit - Urban Outfitters

All I want to wear is red at all times now.
So far I have a pair of red tights and a red dress. All gifted.

My French class at Alliance Francaise allows me to borrow DVD’s from their collection. I had been meaning to watch this Varda classic for a while. Cleo de 5 à 7 has some of the most wonderful dresses on screen. I adore dresses with front slits that allow other fabric to peek through. I might have to make my own screen captures. Couldn’t find anything online.
This was taken in Barcelona in May 2008. It is one of the sexiest dresses I ever saw. 60 euros. I was too broke & now regret it. The dress hanging is also Diesel. Also hot. Moral of the story: Don’t skimp on shopping when in Europe!
Why doesn’t the good merchandise ever make it over to Canada? Maybe I can find this online still.
Ever since Megan came by with her Zoom Blazers, I knew I had to have a pair. I spent my entire youth and much of my early adult years scoffing at Nike and it’s horrible child slavery methods*, it’s pervasive advertising manipulating us all to just “do it”. But now that I’m older, I guess I’m growing more suseptible to aesthetic. Or maybe I’m more aware of what battles to fight and where, more thoughtful in what I should hold out on and what I should enjoy. Either way, I saw these on sale and there I went! Copping my first Nikes (except for my days as a competitive sprinter when all I had was Nikes to run in, but that doesn’t count. Ha!)! So hot right now. I’m gonna go get laid with them on.
*I’m in no way saying being ambivalent about child slavery is cool, but to single out a company for doing so when almost all the clothes most of us buy are made in fucked up conditions doesn’t seem to make sense to me. Fighting for that company to improve its current process within the framework of the merchandising system seems much more conducive to change.
