wishlist: Steve Maddens

Last night I walked through the new City Creek mall in Salt Lake City which is AMAZING. I strolled through all touristy-like until I passed the Steve Madden store and had to go in to see these beauties:

It's like boot with a horse blanket!!! GAH! SO GREAT!

The whole store kept me very satisfied for quite awhile and smelled like lovely delicious leather, but not the overpowering chemical/polish smell you get from a leather goods store, just the faint and lovely smell of buttery animal hide.

Wishlist: Knit Wool

I've been craving knit wool for about a semester now. I would DIE for this skirt. Oh Brooks Brothers, how you tease me with your Full Milano Pleated skirt. 'Bet you 20 bucks it'd be too short on me. Worst part, I'm not sure I know how to make that skirt! Horror of horrors! I've never sewn on knits before (double needle?) and are those pleats heat or chemically set? Pleating board for sure. Someday...

wishlist: marc jacobs bag

I couldn't copy and paste, but the new Marc by Marc Jacobs bags are fantastic!! They come in many more patterns than are shown here and are to die for.

wishlist: more flat front pants

I wasn't sure (why is this underlining? anyway) what to put this topic under. I'd put it under trendi, but I don't think it's as trendi as it should be. So basically, I wish more men would wear flat front pants. The only excuse for pleats is to give your giant thighs extra room because you're dancing in a tuxedo, and I mean dancing.

Anyway, you just have to look at flat front trousers to realize they are amazing. my heart skips a beat when I see an excellent pair of said slacks. Mmmmm delicious.

wishlist: wrestling shoes

I've wanted wrestling shoes since like my sophomore year in highschool. A 125 friend of mine offered me his old pair, but we both decided that that's discusting. I want some new ones!! Some nice, black wrestling shoes to wear w/ slim bootcuts (I'm over skinny jeans).

wishlist: sailor/fall front pants

I've wanted sailor pants forever. Maybe someday I'll make a pair...

wishlist: jodhpurs and capelets

I've wanted jodhpurs for forever and of course now I'm seeing them in magazines etc. That's always how it works with me. Anyway. I want more of real equestrian jodhpurs (but not so tight), and not the icky tapered pants that people might label jodhpurs these days. Roberto Cavalli's Fall '07 Ready to Wear has some nice, moderate pairs. I saw a pair in Lucky once that were corduroy w/ leather inner leg guards. I want the leg guards real bad.

This ensemble (who's pants I'm not so hot about) also has a capelet, which I also want. I have a pattern back home and some nice subtle plaid wool. I don't know where one would necessarily wear a capelet these days, but I still want one.
