I'm Onto You, Marc Jacobs!
Well, well, well. I knew I'd seen this novelty animal motif before. These suede lace-up wedges come from Marc Jacobs' fall 2011 collection. And its adorable vintage '70s sweater vest counterpart is by the good folks at Meat Market Vintage. COINCIDENCE?! Marc-y Marc, you have some explaining to do.

Trend Alert: Jeffrey Campbell
Seriously, you guys. When I found the Jeffrey Campbell page on NastyGal.com, I squeeeed with euphoria. It was glorious. The sky-high platforms. The raptor claw heel. Woven leather and rich velvet. Just discovering the Lita Bootie was transformative.After gawking for many wee hours (full disclosure: I went to bed at 6 AM), it occurred to me that Jeffrey Campbell's exquisite line of couture kicks actually met reachable prices. I mean, you're not going to buy in bulk any time soon. But with a full-time job and some personal discipline, it's fully realizable to click that Purchase button. Inspiring.
I have a couple birthday checks from my grannies and granny-in-laws. That's $100. I got a check from Carnival Cruise, refunding my (pathetic) gambling card. That's another $10. I don't usually splurge on myself. I'm a bona fide sales-rack cruisin' thrift-store diva, all the way. But despite my thrifty impulse to sift the resell boutiques on Melrose, I think I might buy a pair of brand new shoes. By the way, if you suspect writing this blog post is helping me work through some "you're of value" bullshit, stop being right!
Now the fun question: which ones?!
