I know, I know. Yellow opened toed shoes with black tights. Isn't that the equivalent to men wearing flip flops with argyle socks? I still like the way they look. It's California, but still looks silly wearing sandals in this "cold" weather of 65 degrees. I wish I could show you how cute these would be with a Spring outfit, but how many times have I said I wanted Spring to be here already? Well, until that time avails, my kitchen floor will do just fine.

When I was 12 or 13 I had one pair of pants from Kim Gordon's old line, X-Girl. They were a skinny, almost tapered cut and they were bright green. I made my mom take me all the way down to LA to buy it. I remember my mom's old car barely making it around Fullerton, let alone all the way to Melrose, but keep in mind, I had the mindset of a pre-teen determined to get what I wanted. The pants were expensive at the time to us, but since I rarely asked for anything, it was an early birthday/Christmas/Easter/"That's it for the year"-type gift. Of course my friends made of fun when I wore them to school. I didn't care though. I even wore it with my Sonic Youth shirt and I was made fun of double time for that move. Sadly, I can't remember what happened to them. I probably grew out of them, wore them to their death or suddenly became aware that they were bright green. Whichever came first.

When I opened my email this morning, Urban Outfitters announced their collaboration with Kim Gordon, Mirror/Dash, the nostalgia returned with images of bright green tapered jeans. This time, the line is more sophisticated, demure, a modern cut without being too abstract, and minimilistic, just like I like it. The prices range from $54 to $98. Would I buy it? If it was a GO International line at Target, yes. Not for full price though. Sorry, Kim.

A few months ago at the LAPL, I found these adorable cards. 18 cards and envelopes on sale for $2.99. Yep, it was a bargain. I'm pretty selective on who I send these too thinking I will never find them for such a good price. Buuuuut, I was clicking on etsy when I found a very familiar shop. I couldn't figure it out right away. It took me a few minutes but it clicked.

I am still not going to pass these out like cheap flyers, but at least now I know where I can stock up.

Bicycle, Bicycle, You Are My Bicycle

I want Spring to come. Faded Polaroids, perfect weather, my birthday, and most importantly, bike rides. Bicycles are beautifully structured; they look good on everything. The simpler, the better.

//I bought 4 sets of these last year and I need to stock up//

// I love the simplicity of this//

//Bike Your Heart Out//

//I'd never give up my vintage Sprint Schwinn, but for a PF bike, maybe//

As much as I would love everything here, there is nothing like clear skies and a nice ride around the neighborhood.
