All the Frills: The Boots

On a recent excursion to one of my favourite local second hand stores, Value Village (Savers, as I knew it in Connecticut), I scored these amazing boots for under $25. They look they’ve never been worn – the treads are perfect.

When I tried them on in the store they felt a little tight but I decided to get them anyways (I figured I’d just be careful not to wear them on days when I know I’d be doing a lot of standing and walking for long periods) but I wore them recently for an afternoon of grocery shopping and errand running (so a lot of standing and walking) and was pleasantly surprised to discover that the fit is actually pretty brilliant. I love it when things work out like that.

Weekend Reading:

This broad cross-section of people posed with all the food they eat in a typical day – this is fascinating. 

Amazing!!!! Why can’t my house look like this?

Wow. This NYC cabbie seems like a real delight.

Yeah, Maleficent is awesome. I am beyond excited for this movie.

Maleficent is my absolute favourite fairytale character ever. Ever. Did I ever tell you about the time I lovingly crafted a Maleficent Halloween costume? You can check that out here.

There’s a Golden Girls drinking game. Hold my calls for the weekend and you can thank me for being a friend and passing this on come Monday.

The best thing to happen to the art world since that Da Vinvi guy is what this artist has done with her cat.
