Current obsessions (in no particular order):
1. PATTERNED TIGHTS
Patterned tights available at ASOS.com
Just purchased a couple pair from ASOS. I cannot wait until they come in the post. The plan is to incorporate them in as many outfits as possible. I know summer is going to give me a hard time, but I’m not sure I’ll give up these tights, even when the heat hits.
2. WARPAINT
I’ve been hooked since I heard “Elephants.”
Have you seen this “Billie Holiday” video where they’re singing in a circle? Magic. It features a hole in the hood of a jacket, a serious man in a Joy Division shirt holding an umbrella for the musical trio, finger snapping and a great song that is mostly comprised of spelling.
3. OPERATION REPO on truTV
OK, not obsessed with this show but certainly a fan. Who cares if it’s real or fake? I literally ROFLed when I saw a lady ralph all over muscly Matt Burch when he tried to repossess her wheels. Don’t get me started on sassy Sonia Pizarro, a human-version of Ursula. I’ve seen her repossess a car while the deadbeat owner was hanging from the hood. Brilliant. This show provides the perfect dose of facepalming.
4. PRETTY PLEASE DEAR BOUTIQUE
Similar to Bona Drag but less expensive, I think. My picks: Dear Creatures Grid Romper, Changes – Aurora Crystal Pendant and Mociun – Bauhaus Tee.
5. JEFFREY CAMPBELL AND DOLCE VITA SHOES
This is an ongoing obsession. Gilt Fuse just had a Jeffrey Campbell shoe sale. By the time I found out about the sale, all of the goodies in my size were in shopping carts or order confirmations. Fear not. Jeffrey Campbell and Dolce Vita can be found elsewhere for affordable prices. Try Needy Supply Co. and/or Urban Outfitters. Also, Dolce Vita still has their “End of the year sale merchandise” on their website. I leave you with two favorites – one from Dolce Vita and one from Jeffrey Campbell.
I’m on the hunt for a new pair of specs that I love enough to wear 24/7. Contacts have their perks, but I miss wearing glasses full time. Here are some of my top frame choices. Each photo is linked to a website.
These are pricey, but I’m so close to splurging. A while back I called a boutique in my area that sells them and got an estimate on how much it would cost to have my prescription added. $$$ was the answer.
If only I was gutsy enough for Lafont’s Alibaba glasses. If they were less than $100, I would seriously consider purchasing them. Then it wouldn’t be too much of a monetary loss when I changed my mind and decided to never wear them in public.
I know, I know what you’re thinking.
Love love love the half white, half black.
If I bought a basic plastic frame like the Versace pair above, I’d definitely go for Yellow Havana (in picture) or Top Havana on Green, just to spice things up.
——————-
I tend to be more of a plastic frames kind of a gal, but lately I’ve become fascinated with wood frames. Some faves are below.
It’s that time of year again. I technically haven’t asked anyone for anything, but if I did, these things would be on the list. The first list is more reasonably priced wants. The second list gets pricey.

Below are a few (neat) book-related items that I’ve recently come across. Click on the image to be directed to the page where I found them. I’m currently reading Break It Down: Stories by Lydia Davis. Enjoying it so far.
