just kidding, here i am!

i am dream shopping while i enjoy my morning coffee, and if i had a regularly paying job i would possibly splurge on these:

i am actually in love with them. oh, Frye. Tom wears Frye's for motorcycling, and i want to match him. Or, I just want super amazing quality boots that i will wear until i am dead, and i think these are it. I can't explain my fascination with this pair - they are the right combination of awesome and cowgirl and i think they have a good sense of humor. they Facebooked me and I accepted.
I am also obsessed with this dress from Anthropologie, but alas. The life of a freelancer does not require cute outfits on most days.

Last night I saw Mama Mia! and I have to say it was SO GOOD. I didn't think i would like it, but I was taken with the Grecian scenery and dreams of ditching my entire life here and moving to Greece, working in a bar, and dancing with locals. I have that same dream about Spain and even Mexico. I could be happy with that life, but I think the student loan officers would find me somehow.
I also loved the emphasis on all the gorgeous Josef Frank textiles:

it was all so visually delicious.

over and out.

EDIT:: did you know Urban Outfitters saves your CC#, so all you have to do is hit "yes, send them to me i need them right now" and all of a sudden you have ordered boots you can't afford with one click? it's true. i almost hit that fateful button, then i closed the window! oh, the torture! i am going to still think it over. the boots are also available on Zappos, for $4 more.

Why do you do this to me? Those boots are love. You should get them because they will change your life. Boots you will get a lot of wear from. I love the dress (and all the other dresses, really... I need a drool bib if I keep looking at that site) but you won't get to enjoy it as much as the boots, so if you were to splurge for something, I vote for boots.

I can see you in them! I had a pair of frye loafer shoes way back. they were my faves, even had them resoled, only pair i ever did that to. last year i took them to a resale shop and they wouldn't take them:-(. i thought they still looked good! they didn't fit me anymore or i would still be wearing them. i say yes to the fryes!

oooh, you guys are bad for me! i really might get them. they would be the most expensive thing i have ever bought to wear, but i know i would wear them until they were completely unwearable. hm. i wish i could try them on first.
