I swear I'm not dead

I'm swamped with homework, so I don't have time for a real post, though I would love to procrastinate further and take the time to write one.

I have purchases/DIY stuff I need to get up here at some point, but for now I'll just leave you with what has recently become my favorite fashion blog: Garbage Dress. I don't know exactly what it is about her, but I  just can't get enough Zana. If you like things that are good, it's def worth checking out. 

I'm dancing for money, the perfect man.

These are the kind of shoes I've really been lusting after lately. They seem really summery to me, without being sandals, which is great because I kind of really hate sandals; I'll most likely do a post on that in the very near future.

These specific shoes are from Urban Outfitters (imagine that) and I've been eyeing them on the website for months now, but I feel like the extra $50 for shipping is really on worth it if I order a whole lot of stuff.  BUT this weekend the fam and I are venturing up to Edmonton to hit up west-ed mall, which means UO and Forever 21! Obviously there are about a million other stores there too, but I can't say I really care about them, though I wouldn't mind a quick trip to H&M; I hardly ever take the time to go there in Calgary.

GLAM. PINK. HEART.

I kind of want to live inside this commercial. It's just so delightfully Jem/Synergy-ish. And Bad. So so so bad. Thank you, Lindsay Lohan.

She's just like lightning

On a scale of 1 to 10, how insane is it, really, to drop $400 on a fabulous and amazingly amazing (I know, there are no other words) pair of shoes? I want honest opinions here. 

Does it change things if you think about them almost every single day and dream about them on a regular basis, like I do these?

What if you know for a fact that if you don't buy them you'll be pining for the rest of your days?

Oh baby oh baby

So today I finally got around to making a facebook group for my knitwear line (I know! How pretentious am I?) Nanuq Handknits. I think you should note that I chose the name because it sounds really cozy and nice, and that's how I feel about knitwear. I also found out that Nanuq is actually the correct spelling of the name, at least according to some name origins/meanings website I found. So there's that. I'll also be putting stuff up on Etsy sometime in the fairly near future. I don't want to bother with the scarves, since winter is almost over, so I'll be whipping up some other stuff before I do that. Maybe some hats! You'll see. 

Hopefully this means people will buy tons of crap* off me and I'll be rolling in dough and I'll be able to buy lots of shoes! I need a couple new skirts way more than I need new shoes, but you know me! 

Also, if your name happens to be Bekki: I hate you forever and I never want to talk to you again (jokes). What I meant to say is WATCH OUT inside your mailbox. Or something. I don't know.

*I am in no way referring to the quality here. Everything is THE BEST quality ever, fyi.

These boots were(n't) made for walking

I went to see Watchmen tonight, and immediately upon seeing Silk Specter's costume, decided that was what I needed to be for next Halloween. So tonight when I came downstairs to "go to bed" I started looking for latex/pvc thigh highs instead of sleeping. Actually, they're something I've been on the lookout for ever since I saw them in an Agent Provocateur campaign a few months ago, but I can't seem to find them anywhere. The closest I came was stretch patent boot covers, but that just won't do! Anyhow, I got waylaid by the amazing and extensive selections of stripper shoes I found along the way.

Is it terrible how badly I want these boots? Red thigh high mid-heel boots are the things of my dreams. Seriously, I'm not joking! Even with shipping and exchange, these come up just under $100, not bad for leather boots! I'm not exactly sure what I'd wear these with yet, but I'd figure something out. Probably just hot pants and a crop top (kidding). A dress or a skirt I think. Maybe even jeans! They're just too wicked for  words.
I also find myself strangely drawn to these shoes. Who cares that if I wore these I'd be 6'6" and probably have to duck through door frames? Not me!

Interesting to note: Apparently stripper shoes are really comfortable and sturdy. I would never have thought this, but it makes sense, they are designed for dancing and/or being worn by men.

UPDATE: Further research has revealed that I was using the wrong search field in google. i was saying "pvc thigh highs" or "pvc thigh high stockings" when I should have just been putting "pvc stockings", thus avoiding all the boot results. I've found quite a few now, but these are my favorites by far, though they are a little more expensive than some of the other ones I've found, they seem like they're better quality. I'm also being drawn in to the idea of a pvc pencil skirt, and at the moment actually believing that I would wear one, when in reality that would never happen.
