Helen heels

Is it a sign of some shoe addiction problems that I don't even know what I'd wear these with and I don't like wearing slingbacks and yet the detailing with the chains makes me want these? Probably, but who cares right? Cool shoes! $279 at Fluevog

Dustin Dustpan

I used to have this cute Koziol dustpan years ago, when Target was selling some Koziol pieces. I don't know what happened to it; I lost it during one of my million moves, but I'm tempted to buy another. $22.95 at Well Tempered Kitchen

random outfit #1

So work's been on the hell side lately and I haven't felt like spending much time post work continuing to stare at a computer screen. (I'm really getting to the point where by the end of the workday I have a major headache from staring at the screen)So this blog has sort of suffered of late, which sucks because I'd finally been really keeping up with posts. Today I discovered the joy that is polyvore by clicking for more details on one of the outfits posted on Omiru (one of my favourite fashion blogs.) Granted I could never in million years afford the outfit I just put together above, but it's kind of a fun experiment in trying to discover my style in a put together way. (I feel I'm good at picking up cool pieces, not so good personally at building a wardrobe that can work as a look.) So I'm going to try to do more of these random outfits.

Ebay find: Vintage Cherry Bakelite necklace

One of my obsessions this year is cool vintage necklaces, particularly vintage plastics. I've mostly been collecting vintage thermoset, since most of the time bakelite is out of my price range. I love cluster necklaces like this one because they're kitchy-cute without being too obvious and cloying. Auction ends: 15 May at 12:55 PST so get bidding!

Wall Strap by NL Architects for Droog

these funky rubber bands make a much cooler stuffed animal storage system than those ugly, ugly corner nets that we all had in our rooms in the 80s. $28 at Plastica
