I'm in the mood for some...
Valentino Bow Espadrille - $495
Spring/Summer is/are just around the corner, and I can feel the comeback of espadrilles. High ones, flat ones, open ones, closed ones...
I'm in the mood for some seriously high ones... (Yes, I'm browsing through the expensive ones... A GIRL CAN DREAM)
Jimmy Choo Pedro Suede Wedges - $455
And, of course, adorable little flat ones make my day feel so much warmer and summer-ier:

DOPE
Very very very cool video for OK Go's "This Too Shall Pass" - it's one giant Rube Goldberg machine!
annnnd another one here of a Japanese Rube Goldberg building contest, narrated by an overly-excited and hilariously entertaining host.
I want one
I'm not sure where to find one or even where to look (minus ebay, but the ones I saw there were pretty expensive/authentic looking), but I want what I have come to find is called a "Sam Browne Belt" - named after a British army officer who served in India during the 19th century. He lost his left arm in battle and found that controlling or drawing his sword out from his belt without the use of his left hand was nearly impossible. So he invented the second strap that went across his shoulder in order to facilitate that movement. Now, to the more modern side of the story - the one that sounds less intellectual and more materialistic. I was on Gilt last night and saw this most amazing beautiful belt in the Vogue March Issue sale (which, incidentally is themed "military"), and I fell in love. I obviously Googled the hell out of "belt that goes over shoulder", "shoulder belt", "military shoulder belt", and "body belt" (this one gave me some fabulous neon light reflecting bicycle belts, by the way) and finally found the name Sam Browne. So, if you know where I can find one, or if you know what the Vogue one is called or who it's by, let me know! :)

Buffalo Exchange
My sister found out about this magical cave of wonders and told me (and our massive amount of unused clothes) about it. We decided to give it a go. Basically, Buffalo Exchange is a thrift store that buys clothes too - so we packed up all of the clothes in our closets that either didn't fit or weren't worn anymore and drove down to Brooklyn to test our luck in the selling game. There was a little bit of a line (other hopeful vendors) and this nice woman went through all of our stuff, taking some and putting back others (and she did the "putting back" part very nicely might I add - there was no judgement of any kind, just "well, what we're looking for is stuff that pertains to current trends or really great basics or cool vintage" as she placed back an old H&M jacket into our suitcase). This is how it works: she would buy something, say a pair of jeans, and price it at $10 (the price at which people would buy it in the store) and tell us that we could either take 30% ($3, for the mathematically challenged) in cash home with us or we could have %50 ($5) to use in the store. We ended up taking the cash because the store was closing, but there was some amazing stuff in there! Tsubi jeans, Diesel, Rag & Bone, some amazing vintage shoes, more Nike Air's than I can count! Can't wait to go back when I have more time (and more clothes to recycle!). Highly recommended.
