my beloveds that i fought for on ebay had to go without even wearing once because the 7.5s are a little too snug. god i LOVE these boots.

Holidays

How was your christmas?
only my mom would have happy hanukkah ornate on her christmas tree.

I got a load of gifts which i will show you soon but here is one gift that i'd like to introduce to you right now.
meet emma.

i finally have a pound puppy of my own.

christmas was packed with a lot of animals.

even black cats. did i ever tell you about poncho? the neighborhood cat that my parents and sister fed and named? well anyway. this is sue's cat (next door neighbor) not poncho :( can you see her eyes?
ended the weekend with vintage shopping:: i went shopping with ariel and martin and i brought back a potato sack (seriously) of stuff. i also brought back a major cold which is why the photos are limited and my new thrifty treasures are still in the potato sack. my cold makes me sleep like 17 hours a day. sucks.

i'm pretty much done with my christmas shopping. last week i made the bad mistake of going to rockefeller center. way too many tourists but i needed to go to that specific anthropologie for something. just tried to remember that its the holiday season so it would be extra wrong if i shoved someone standing in the middle of the street as i dodge oncoming traffic and pushing someone for bumping me so hard that i almost fall is wrong too. never again.

now onto my normal closet blog entry...i found a pair of vintage oxford boots and have been wearing all month. i like that they are brown (don't have boring brown) and i love that they are higher than your average ankle grannie boots but i'm not into the fact that they aren't leather (label reads leather upper but i don't even know what that means really). i'm all about supporting vegan items being the animal lover that i am but man-made material in the winter? um even with 2 pairs of socks my toes were icicles. won't be mine for long!

and i don't even have to wait for replacements - i just got these barely worn whiskey brown vintage oxford ankle boots this week. now i can finally put my boarding school boy shoe/boot obsession to rest...although black oxford grannies would be nice. guess i'm still on the search.
