It's Toggery Friday!

I'll let you in on a little secret. Every Friday, the The Toggery marks down their merch and you need to be there on the spot at 10 am to score big. Say hi,  I am always there, really, it would be easy to kill me, I have such the schedule. Anyhoo I scored these fab NEW Sigerson Morrison boots for myself and they were totally not on sale, early b day gift I guess. I was hoping for a new iPhone, but will be, as usual, disappointed.

Update: I did not win Best Bite, but got a few catering offers and looked really cute in my vintage apron and retro crock pot. That is enough for me. With 1 blog, 2 jobs and 3 kids I do not need a new career. Nonna said "What is point if you are not going to win?" The journey, not the destination, My little type A Ralph

My score

Sad Face: Eye Candy on Mass Ave is moving to Carmel Clay Terrace. Happy Face: all merch is 50% off, ends next Friday. Paul is also selling the fixtures as well since his new space is a bit more petitie. On another note, Silver in the City has a damn lot of owl themed items, FYI if you are into that

Road Trip!

This little beauty is a Traina Norell from the 1950's that is one of the many lots up for auction at Whitaker Auction Company in Bucks County PA next weekend. Sure you can buy designer and vintage clothes at an auction, in fact you know it's all good stuff since it has been vetted within an inch of it's life. A few old friends from the IMA will be there, not sure if from the Textile or Apparel side of the family. Petra needs to call me first next time is all I'm sayin'. Hope I have enough money left to hit the Black Angus and maybe the last Schupps Grove sale.

PS if you have any Banana Boat UltraMist suncreen saved for your next beach trip, you need to ditch it, and fast. Apparently it has a tendency to catch fire when exposed to the sun. Like: on your person

Oops! Patchouli!

Oh my God as far as your house smelling like you poop thousand dollar bills you better put Jo Malone on speed dial. Her perfume and home fragrances are amazing, unusual and rich rich rich. The latest,  English Pear and Freesia, just die. I am maxing out my Saks card and buying evey candle they have

BURN BOOK

I just lost a day of my life on this. And I'm not sorry

Old, retarded or 2

Isabell Murant $650

Ash $325

I am totally hot for a wedge sneaker for my cas time. All of the height none of the wobble and it really really looks good with graphic skinnies. (Betsey Johnson roses uh huh) My stopper? VELCRO. I refused to let my children have velcro sneakers no matter how much they begged. Only for the infirm, I insisted, is anyone here infirm??? No!! And I still subscribe to that theory, even for myself in the face of ungodly yet comfy fashion. Sigh. WHY! Maybe it is a Reebok 80's throwback, oh retro retro. I hear Ferragamo my have an un-velcro sneaker. Untill then I am rocking my Baker's late '92 high heeled sneakers that, inexplicitly, people at bus stops really seem to love

Woof

Call me a complete weirdo but I kind of love this poodle dress by Markus Lupfer for ASOS. With all the animal motifs going on the fashionland, it was only a matter of time before a $545 dog dress became hot stuff. I found this beauty whilst perusing the ASOS Black lable line by said designer. It is a 10 piece capsule collection of fine laser cut leathers and more glittery glitter on skinny pants and shell shirts that hasever existed. And that is saying a lot since I just had my first experience with a Justice store (my eyes!!!). Seeing as his runway stuff is can be 5 large on up, consider this an early Xmas pressie. www.asos.com
