While I was out doing the sad, short shopping tour of downtown last week, I popped into the renovated Browns store to look at a little shoe porn. Sure enough, the store is now very glossy and styly and some stunning Chie Mihara shoes were displayed near the window (an exclusive colour to the store?). I hadn't seen these puppies before- admittedly a difficult, not to mention expensive, colourful shoe. I gleefully shoved my foot into the tiny display model (no sense getting too comfortable...) and loved the contrast with the beloved Icon Trench.
But since we be frugal colour-addicts, here's my Value Village silk scarf compromise (until uh maybe this difficult shade goes wayyyyy on sale. If you're desperate and have $400 to blow, you can get 'em
here!)

I kinda felt bad (and pleased) today, as a woman stopped me in the metro station to ask where I found my trench coat. She said she'd been looking for the perfect one forever and was pretty darn sad there was no J Crew around town...
(Aw...manfriend just came home and said I looked like I should be cooking dinner in a house on chicken legs- he knows how to go straight to my heart! Good old Baba Yaga!)
