Good Gap

Here's my favorite new European Collection item from Gap, the mandarin collar pullover. Bought it Friday day and happily communed with it later that evening.

I think my sleeves are shorter, or it could just be my abnormally long arms. And I should have taken a picture because it's so much cuter live & on person than this picture. Chic, a great spring piece, and it really does look kind of European. $38 and well worth it. I wore it with skinny, high-waisted dark blue jeans and the duo-tone Pierre Hardy* flats, right. Which were the happy recipient of a gushing "I love your shoes!" from a stylish hipster girl. Thanks, Pierre.

*looks like the silver gladiators are sold out online, but there were a few sizes in the store on 34th the other day

Granny Feet

At Forever 21 this weekend? Check out these retro shoes, which strike some chord from my past. An angry older sister? A shop-happy mom? Anyway, I want these 70's shoes (below, $20.80). I don't care if they look like death to all of the skin that protects your delicate feet. Personally, my foot retirement plans consist of embracing scary "granny toes," including bunions, hammer toe, corns, heel spurs, and other grossly-named foot ailments. That's what I get for rocking 5-inch spikes all through my 20's. Totally worth it.


And look for this dress while you're at Forever 21, a good alternative to the shiny, sequined New Year's Eve dresses that are sure to be everywhere. The clasp/pin detail on the shoulder really makes it.
