Eat air

It is architectural. It is by a CFDA nominee. No one in town will have it. It is just plain bad ass.

Perhaps the $1000 price tag may dissude you from buying these Alejandro Ingelmo shoes but I'd think about that real hard. Food is entirely overated

Lita: comes in all kinds of funkifiedness

I almost pulled trigger on these Jeffery Campbell shoes at the Nordstroms pre season sale but just could not. They were so so fabulous and weird. I feel so midwestern in my fear. Or perhaps it was the paying retail thing. Somebody talk me into them. $159 www.soulstruck.com

Normaally I approve of just about anything with cat ears on it: headbands, knit caps, actual cats heads but this helmet from Givenchey just isn't doing it for me

Contest winnah!

Giant animal intarsia knit graphics are all over the runway for fall but I think Pringle's "Archive Collection" lion dress is the bestest. From the mind of London's Central Saint Martins fashion student Estefania Cortes Hankers who was not even born until after the 80's. Huh.

Passing through char to the bowels of Weber Grill is the Rhythm Discovery Center aka The Percussive Arts Society. What a fun suprise! From the giant drum that yes you are allowed to bang on to the soundproof studios loaded with drum kits it is a fascinating tho' slightly headache-y inducing trip. There is some no touching stuff, mostly a stroll throughout the world with traditinal costumes and instruments as well as a sound machine like a Rube Goldberg project gone bad from the movie soundtrack world. A huge window allows you to peek into the archives and the gleam of a 1940's glockenspeil was tantilizing. 111 W Washington St. 275-9030 www.rhythmdiscoverycenter.org

This is my new favorite outfit. Whether you are 5, 35 or 85, nothing beats a kitty shirt, leggings and ballet flats, Though I did, as predicted, spear myself in the ankle with the studded toe several times during the day
