I Drunk Shopped These Cute Ankle Booties. Results: OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE!

$41, Dollhouse, Endless.com

Let me clarify! I wasn't like Orson Wells-drunk. I was more like a two-glasses-of-wine-and-I'm-feelin'-fine situation that guided my hand, which clicked "BUY" and purchased these Dollhouse ankle booties. Would I have bought them if I'd had two glasses of water, or just a Coke Zero, instead? Probably not, but I'm glad I did! Seriously, been fielding "where'd you get those" queries all day. I didn't previously own a pair of brocade booties with a black leather toe and blue suede details. Especially not ones with a 4 1/2 inch heel. And now I do! And they were just $33 with free shipping. That's like one pair of cute ankle boots for the price of three glasses of wine!
Oh, PS, I wore them with a GREAT Ann Taylor nautical striped blouse with gold sequin epaulets and black skinny jeans. 

Adventures In Weird Handbags

Really, there just aren't enough handbags named after deadmau5. I kid you not, this is called the Matt & Nat Deadmau5 Stellar Convertible Clutch.

($93.50, Mat and Nat, Endless.com)

Or lacquered wooden minaudieres shaped like butler dogs. Named Jeeves.

Two Pairs Of Shoes By Which I Cannot Abide

I consider myself a fairly tolerant, accepting person. However there are a few things I cannot abide by. One of those things? These Cindy Says Keegan heels...

($142, Cindy Says, Endless.com)

I mean, they're platforms. Covered in pony hair. And feathers. And studs. And some kind of gem thing. They have whipstitching. And they lace up. And they have a fabric welt. The only thing they don't have is even the most remote shred of decency. And don't even get me started on the tan and orange version.


Hard to say which is more offensive. They both have their own separate list of bullet pointed atrocities.

Meanwhile, these Doc Martens for Opening Ceremony Darcie boots?...

($300, Doc Martens, Opening Ceremony)

True, I DO have the black version of these Darcie Docs. And I LOVE these gold flocked Docs. But while I do LOVE animal print, this is proof that animal print can be used for both good AND evil. There's just something '70s-in-the-bad-way about the print. It looks like a fabric batik wall hanging that my mom mounted on a hula hoop and hung on the wall of our basement rec room back in 1982. True story.

I Can Has Hasbeen Candy-Colored Boots?

(Apprx $397 USD, Hasbeen, Swedishhasbeens.com)

Um, WHAT could be sweeter than lace-up leather boots the color of candy dots? I want Hasbeens (a resurrected '70s staple) in EVERY color. INCLUDING, but not limited to... beige:

($339, Hasbeens, Endless.com)

And Endless has a sick selection of Hasbeens. Love this camel-colored boot.

This Buckle-Covered Ellington Leather Bag Is The Business

Buckles on boots? Well, sure! But BUCKLES ON A BAG? WHY is this not happening MORE often than like the go-round of Hayley's Comet? I mean, this buckle-covered leather bag by Ellington is really, truly the biznass.

($249, Ellington, Ellingtonhandbags.com)

Also, is it not the handbag version of the Giuseppe Zanotti for Balmain multi buckle boot?

And hey! This does too! ;)
