My kind of workout shoes...

These are shoes that aren't just nice to look at and a bit on the sporty side, but they actually tone your legs and bum while you just walk around in them.

Sport Low by MBT $248.95 These would be the priciest ones out there. Supposedly they make you feel as though you are walking on sand all day. Notice that the soles are rounded, which I would think would burn a lot of fat just standing still and trying not to fall over.

Allure by Earth $112.95 The conscruction of these shoes is based on the toe being higher than the heel. Supposedly it gives you perfect posture and all day it's like you are walking up a hill. I definitely think that would tone, but I think I'd get pretty dern tired walking uphill all day.

Fit Flops (for sale at Running Bare) Currently selling for 36 pounds in the UK (approx. $72) All the rage in the UK right now, these are supposed to be very similar to MBT's, in that they feel like walking on sand all day. Bath and Body Works are supposedly carrying these, so I definitely want to try them out and see if I feel anything toning.

Kirsta says that I need to go crazy...

Here's some crazy/expensive shoes that I could buy...


(from left to right) Cesare Paciotti 938010 $484.95; Belle by Sigerson Morrison $308.95; DAVIS by Ruthie Davis $283.00


(from left to right) 1582 by Casadei $295.00; C10082 Lsxo 00 by Moschino $398.95; Debutante by Irregular Choice $129.56; Gypsey Girl by Irregular Choice $120.56

...if I didn't feel so bad about spending the cash on shoes that I would wear maybe once.

Fashion that fits my budget

Sarah Jessica Parker's line of clothing for Steve & Barry's will be coming out soon and I've gotta say, I'm pretty excited. SJP's view on this line is that "Fashion is not a luxury, it's a right," and so in the spirit of that, nothing in her line will be above $20. This makes me very very happy.

It's like having a sponsor...except getting no bank for it.

Today's t-shirt posts were brought to you via Uncrate.com. They have lots of manly stuff like cufflinks and stainless steel and concrete rings. And they have a feature on this tee:

From what's becoming my new favorite online store...

Urban Outfitters, the Paul Frank Volume Knob tee.

Since it seems to be a day for t-shirts...

Here's a bunch that also I love from Threadless.com (click each pic to go to the site):

The dude abides

Straight from the Lebowski fest (to be held in Louisville, KY from July 20th to the 21st), I bring you the 'Abide' shirt. So simple, yet so fantastic. Link

Blue Blood Women's Jacket

I love funnel neck coats. It's like having a coat and a scarf all in one. I think it goes along with my love of combination items (i.e. lipgloss that's also a breath freshener, a PDA phone, etc.) Also in the vein of combos, thegiantpeach.com is a combo store: music and clothing.

Linen Jetball Hat with contrast stitching

This hat from Urban Outfitters is just too cute. I love to wear hats but it's kind of hard to find casual hats that work well with short hair. Link

Naked shoes for naked people

Dopies, called the ultimate shoe by its creators, can barely be considered shoes at all. The strap can be taken out and all you're left with is the folded toe design that keeps your foot on the sandal. I really wonder how comfortable these are (although for $40, I'll probably keep wondering for a while.) Link

The Great Bathing Suit Search

Unfortunately, I have been blessed with a rather large backend. This proves annoying when attempting to find a swimsuit that fits and fits well. I can go with a two piece, but I'm always just entirely too self-conscious while wearing it. Many years ago, I was in posession of a black, one-piece swimsuit which had boyshort bottoms, a low back and fit me just perfectly. Sadly, this bathing suit disappeared while I was moving to college. I have been searching for this swimsuit for years but to no avail...until today!


I present the Damsel Polka Dot One Piece swimsuit from Urban Outfitters. I love the halter ties and the cut of the backend. They also have the same cut in solid colors as well. I love that the 40's/50's are coming back! Link






This one is from pinupgirlclothing.com. It's at a lower price point which is always a bonus and it has that cute kind of non-skirt skirt. Link














This one is Retrodress. They have a selection of Esther Williams-inspired bathing suits. I love the rouching at the sides. Link
