Early Xmas present

My sweet husband bought me these boots that I had my eye on from Urban Outfitters as an early Christmas present.  It was so hard to find such simple flat boots for under $300!  They may not be the most weather-hardy, but are great for this LA mild winter!

Good news…

… pour les hommes.  One of the best men’s footwear lines, Generic Man, has come out with a less expensive line of shoes that are currently available at Urban Outfitters.  Also discovered this Etsy shop which has some nice vintage menswear.

Blah

Sorry for the lack of posts… not feeling inspired by much on the web…   Also, getting ready to host Thanksgiving at our place this year with friends.  I hope to post more gift ideas as they hit me, or rather, as I stumble across them slowly.  🙂   Here’s one Etsy shop that I suggest you look at… I kind of love everything.  She’s made it around the blog circuit a lot lately, so I wouldn’t be surprised if her prices go up.

Nice

This is a cropping of an image from Face Hunter… I love this necklace!  Wish I knew who made it.

Ok, so these are booties, not boots, (perhaps a small technicality) but I love/want them…

Etsy find: NB’s Closet

Ok so yes… lasercut jewelry is totally played.  However, I did laugh at this necklace I found on Etsy of the Nintendo Powerglove… “I love the Powerglove… it’s so bad.”  If this doesn’t ring a bell, race to your nearest video rental shop and rent The Wizard (starring Fred Savage, Christian Slater, and Beau Bridges… oh and the annoying Jenny Lewis when she was still a child actor).

Aurelie Bidermann

I love these two necklaces from Aurelie Bidermann that were featured on Style.com (very different from what’s up on her site at the moment).

Nyg?rds Anna

These looks from Nyg?rds Anna absolutely capture the looks I’m going for this fall.  Lovely.

Birkenstock version 3.1

3.1 Phillip Lim, that is!  Did anyone else know that the lovely Phillip Lim did a shoe called the “Eros” for Birkenstock?  I actually like it a lot.  On sale at Barneys for $70 which seems reasonable considering that those things are super ergenomic and last forever (an ergenomic designer sandal seems like it should be an oxymoron).

Coton

Ok. So just to be clear, I think I love everything on this site.  Thanks to Dear Ada for the original posting which led me to spend way too much time perusing the CDC stores site.  Here are two favourites:
