Tough Week...Good Music

I hadn't really planned on venting on this blog... but I have been having a really difficult week. I'm sort of on the verge of breaking into tears. The only thing getting me through is a new band that one of my friends introduced to me. Actually, I have no idea if they're new - they're just new to me. It's called Tally Hall and I am especially obsessed with their song "Good Day."

Not only are their songs great, but they created a really entertaining internet show. The last couple minutes of the show are the music video for "Good Day."

Rachel Comey shoes

I was born with the genes for bad feet. I blame my parents for my

extra-long toes and complete lack of anything resembling an arch.

Because my feet have always practically refused to fit into any shoe

that can be considered attractive, I developed a natural aversion

to shoe shopping. But recently, my distaste has changed into

something else. Now instead of hating shoes in general, I have started

coveting, lusting after, and drooling over all the shoes I wish I

could wear.

The other day I read in Nylon about Rachel Comey shoes, and I now

have another item to add to my "If only I could afford it" list (which

was already pretty extensive). Not only are these shoes GORGEOUS, but

they look like they're made with the highest quality materials and

serious love and care. And they even look comfortable! Sigh.

If Only.....Spring '09

The following are my three favorite looks from S/S '09 NY runways. I wish I could pull off all three - or even just one - of these looks this season!!
