Les Vide-Greniers
September is garage sale time in Paris. They call it les vides-greniers and you can get the official low-down here. All sorts of fun things can be found like gorgeous Italian shoes.
However, Russians flea markets still kick ass all over anything here. Somebody scored me this amazing Russian Leica* in exchange for keeping their luggage for the month of August. I guess this is incentive to get back to using film…right!
*After WWII, the Russians stole blueprints from the German factories. Hence you can find beautiful Leica’s made in Russia.
Eurgh!
I may be no facist, but eurgh. Just eurgh.
I don’t care how cute you are, no one could carry those off and not look like they raided a pensioners closet.

No, what we have here is a future in degradation. You’ll look like a bag lady! Or a school marm.
I still think you have great style. But if Dame Posh Spice wouldn’t be caught starved wearing them, then no one has the authority to demand their taste is high fashion, and all know Dame Posh is the world’s best dressed person ever to walk the whole ten planets of the solar system! So don’t take my word for it!
(Deliberately crazy, this post is)

I’ll take a photo of how hot these babies look on my stems and then you’ll have to live with these sad words. I hope to god Posh never wears something as classy as these shoes. It’s hard to tell, these days, the difference between football wives and porn stars.

I love riddles ! The difference is that the football wives kick the ball while the porn stars are kicked by the balls, am I right ?

I like the shoes. I don’t think they have a schoolmarmish look as much as it’s a little bit 50s if you squint.
