This Old Man

Today I was riding the train and saw this old man. "This old man, he played one, he played knick-knack on my thumb; With a Knick-knack paddywhack, Give a dog a bone; This old man came rolling home." Remember that song? Anyway, this old man was old—pretty old. I was surprised he was riding the train by himself. But, look how dapper he is with a kane, a man purse, trench coat, patterned socks, and oxfords. I wanted this old mans style. So regal and well put together. I got jealous. I hope when I'm old I'll look like this old man.

Sexy Bitches Wear Prada

Caroline loves being social. She has a great personality. She has great legs. She has a great heart, and a great Prada shoe collection. Like me, she spares nothing when it comes to her shoe collection. Today she came in with these heels and her bare feet. It got cold and she threw on some red socks and voila, a whole new look. The red socks mixed with the black lace-up heels turns Caroline from sexy to sexy-bitch.

The End

Wild n' Out

When I think of Wallabees I think of hip-hop, Wu Tang, cute guys, and good style. I always thought that only guys could rock the moccasin-like shoe and a girl would look like a straight up dyke in them. But when I saw Camilla strolling down the street with her pair of tan cuties I really got all nostalgic for the days when hip-hop heads would wear them with baggy pants and a North Face jacket. She looked so cool with her tight black jeans and white socks pocking out. She also had on a members only jacket with a chambray shirt underneath. Camilla you rocked my world—with your style that is.

My New Favorite Thing

When we fall in love we think it is forever. Sometimes it is and sometimes it's not. I fall in love everyday with a pair of shoes, a new shade of lipstick, a pair of jeans, etc. This time around I fell head over heels over a pair of fall 09 Burberry boots. They have everything I ever wanted in a boot—chunky, black, leather, straps, versatile, and comfortable (even if they look painful). When I first saw them down the runway I gasped. I agonized and thought up these boots in my head. And here they are, right in front of my face, and they were tangible. I had to have them and I did. I fell in love, and this time it's forever.

side note: they will be properly introduced to you with one of my weird shoots.

The End

Black And White

I can't believe Michael Jackson died this past year. It's still hard for me to wrap my brain around it.

These shoes remind me of him—for obvious reasons. 

In The Old Things Store

This is an outfit my friend and I created at this village store in Alabama. (Please read the post below titled "Old Things" and you will get a feel for the environment. The colored belts made out of straw were only 75 cents, the top was his own, the shorts were $2.00, the glasses also his own, and the attitude he's giving—in that world it's called "looking fierce"— is once again... his own. Check out the scarecrow in the back. Scary South.

PYT

Pretty girls are delicate. You can't mess with them too much or they'll cry. You have to hug them, kiss them, and tell them they are beautiful so they don't annoy you.

Too Much

Crazy bitches love crazy things. Like colors, pattens, and more patterns all at once. Talia loves wearing everything at once. SO when I saw these shoes I knew it was perfect for her. So I showed her, and you know what this bitch told me? "Eh, I need a little more umph." Is she for real?

Old Things

I know those of you reading this blog (I think that's like three people) might think what I am about to write is ignorant, but here it goes. Sometimes when I go down South (and no, not that south) I get scared because there are a lot of old things lurking around. Now, duh, I know there are "old things" in the North but "old things" in the south are scary. I feel like there is so much history behind southern things and that history is usually bad history (for some). I know a lot of this is in my head and that it's quite stupid, but I kinda like dwelling on things that make no sense because they are more dramatic and fun. Take for instance these mannequins I saw in an old village store in Alabama. The display itself looks creepy. And, yes, this post has nothing to do with shoes. It has everything to do with creepy stores and weird mannequins in the South. I don't feel safe. 

Girls WIll Be Boys

Sometimes you just want to be a boy. It's so easy, so effortless, and at times real cool. Boys don't really smell. That's just what your mom tells you so you don't start having sex at a young age. These Cole Rood & Haan shoes remind me of boys. But boys from the 1930s—like old school style where they use to dress up just to go to the grocery store. When I wear these boots I feel like a lady boy, and I'm ok with that.
