i would buy these shoes from swedish hasbeens: you’ll remember that, some time ago, i declared ugly wooden soled shoes to be a priority for this summer (you do remember, don’t you?) under the assumption that i shop seasonally, of course, and have limitless swedish krona to throw about (233.349 dollars’ worth of krona, [...]
My Summer Uniform

Hi friends. I know I’ve been gone, but I’m baaack! due to (other than guilt and genuine interest in rekindling my blogging fire) my bro-friend David threatening to un-RSS feed me/festo, which seemed a fate too scary to face. But really, to be honest, I’ve been kind of writer blocked. Nothing in my life seemed [...]

while watching endless summer, i came up with a brief sartorial summer to-buy list. this is it: 1. baggy cuffed denim shorts 2. super ugly pair of wooden-soled shoes 3. straw boater hat 4. a “boyfriend” blazer (i hate that phrase, it’s almost as bad as a ”wifebeater” tank top) [...]
no more spandex

my father, an avid cyclist who’s been wearing spandex and shaving his legs since the early 70s, insists that adeline adeline (profiled in today’s nytimes) can’t possibly be a real bike store. we beg to differ! adeline adeline (147 reade street) was founded by a graphic designer who did not want a racing bicycle or [...]

when i was a little girl my parents called me imelda
Posted in fashion, no but seriously, shopping, tagged irregular choice, shoes, toms on March 26, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
“you’re just a regular imelda marcos,” they’d say, referring to my burgeoning love of footwear. i still remember my first pair of high heels, a fantastically ugly pair of pink mary janes with platforms that contained what looked like pastel pink marshmallows that i wore to my older sister’s bat mitzvah. so uh some shoes [...]

If you are over 21 & have had your first home away from home, you’ve spent entirely too much time (but arguably not that much money) in the maze-like monstrosity that is Ikea. Now that it’s 2010, I invite you to try their Japanese fraternal twin: MUJI. I had never even heard of MUJI until [...]

Good morning, New Yorkers! It’s a beautiful day. cloudy with a chance of meatballs sunny with highs in the 60s! Why not take advantage of the suggestively springlike breezes to go outside and do some grocery shopping? if you don’t look, you might miss it May I recommend Tedone Latticini at 597 Metropolitan Ave in [...]
