Rocking Horse

It's about time I dedicated a post to the shoe that, in an instant, reminds me of Japan. Meet the Rocking Horse shoes designed by Ms. Vivienne Westwood.



I first saw these shoes while enamored with a little manga/movie entitled "Nana". These shoes are iconic and somewhat symbolic of "true punk" style over there in Harajuku. Truly coveted, these shoes are not cheap, with several smaller shops selling used pairs at stable, inflated prices.

Sport-mode

Just lounging about in my newest garb of the day - an insanely comfortable blouson dress from the Y-3 collabo between Yohji Yamamoto and Adidas. Who ever thought I'd buy an Adidas dress? I think I can live with myself. In this dress. Forever.

Celebrity

So two days ago I was blabbing about Tiffany sunglasses and how I bought the cheaper Prada version. I should pony up and show the goods! Here they be:

Holy Grail

I'm getting pretty darn good at these online sale things. Or, maybe not, but I got it when it counted. As you may know, I love Alexander McQueen (pause)..yes yes. As you may or may not know, he creates beautiful things and my favorite-est ones are his scarves. This may sound melodramatic but, I die a little every time I check the price tag on them. Well, I got me one, and it is perfect.

Cheaply Made, Exepensive Crap

Okay, so I wasn't very imaginative with the title of this blog, but I must admit I'm a bit disgruntled with the producers over at Vivienne Westwood. When I was in London last year I wanted to buy something from the Vivienne Westwood flagship on Conduit Street, and I didn't feel like dropping an excessive amount of pounds, so I just bought a necklace. Turns out, the necklace was apt to shedding it's Swarovski crystals and they don't believe in responding to customer inquiries. Perfect...I'll just go over here into my little corner with my broken necklace and nosh on some fish and chippies.

Grocs

I've developed a thing for sunglasses recently...and frankly, I think no one does finery quite like Tiffany. Okay, that's a lie, but the sunglasses were a great shape for my face so I wanted them. Sticker price = $8xx, "discounted" price = $4xx. Um, no. I bought the cheaper Prada version, but I still think these are cuter.
