Covet


$1800 dollars. Seriously??!!?!  Uh...last I checked, the United States was experiencing its highest poverty rate in years -families of 4 that make $20K or less annually, are considered to fall in this range. Don't get me wrong, I love me some over-the-top boots and these are friggin' gorgeous, but ugh..It's almost criminally insane to be charging that much. Although I blog pretty frequently about many high-end, chic, couture items that I covet on a regular basis, believe it or not, I'm actually in touch with reality.  Having been debt-free for the last 3 years has made me thankful beyond words. My trip to Paris (that is entirely paid for!!!!) in the coming months will represent a culmination of accomplishments in my life up to this point. Sustainability, consistency and tenacity. Priceless.

One of my latest projects is slowly collecting a variety of curios for a wall above my art-space. I've been a long-time aficianado of Wunderkammer and oddities and these illustrations by Sean Delonas are nothing short of amazing. So far, I've dubbed the project "Wunderwall"...I think one of these babies framed would be an excellent addition to my growing collection of peculiarities.

The Beautiful and the Damned

Johanna Went and Dinah Cancer from the good 'ol daze....

Art Deco-Egyptian Femme. The leggings and long dress are my faves. The prints are simply stunning and make me want to flashback in time to the streets of Yoshiwara in Metropolis, or live in a Frank Lloyd Wright house filled with Alphonse Mucha paintings and scarab paperweights...flights of fancy...yes!

Jeffrey Campbell Kitt Shoe

These are in my opinion, sublime. Avant Garde heel, modern form and construction. I had been eyeing the Finsk booties on Solestruck a few days ago, but JC does it again. More cost effective, and not to mention hot -these babies are definitely coming home with me.
