haha you see what i DID was - i made up a day using my favorite accessory! haha! (ode to Karen Walker)

i believe i mentioned having an odd fixation with the Olsen twins. i have forever, ever since Full House. and then the 40 bazillion videos they made, that i watched with my nieces. i actually remember some of the songs... for example "brother for sale". a classic up there with Elvis...

other people clearly have the fixation as well, since the girls are doing incredibly well as designers and entrepeneurs in their own right. despite the sometimes odd looks they sport in paparazzi photos (so entirely unfair) they have quite a phenom fashion sense. their two lines, The Row and Elizabeth and James have quite a lot of really gorgeous pieces. the cut and construction is just right on the money. ShopBop has an great collection, and if you are in the old NYC - Bergdorf's or Bloomingdales can satisfy your jones...

of course, as i am an accessory fiend, i am drawn most to the shoes and jewelry. the jewelry has been around a while - and i got a silver dagger pendant a couple of years ago during a bit of an angry phase (job related - my loved ones should not fear for their safety) the shoes - a relatively new venture. and as i must do - i went and tried on a bunch of them. they are rather perfect i have to say... the little flats are adorable - but sadly my feet are so small that sometimes little flats make me look like i should not be able to stand upright. if any of you are bigger than a size six - go for it. this pair in particular is totes obsession worthy. but, and perhaps it's seasonally based, the boots are what cried out to me. they're flingin flangin perfect. comfortable, absolutely wear-able with whatever you can wrap your mind around. this pair is beyond... they also have a couple pairs of knee high boots that i needed to touch more than once. yes, i pet shoes. i'm not afraid to admit it.

shoe lovers, there is a new kid in town...
