06.12.09Wanted: Dead or Alive (Size 7)I need these Chuck Taylors. Need. Them. Unfortunately, the Converse website only has them in a size 12.5! And I wear a 7. This is a freaking tragedy. Because they're meant to be my shoes. They're red. They're patchwork. They're Chucks. They're perfect. I've looked high and low online and can't find them. So, if you see them, please, please, puh-lease let me know and send me a link. Otherwise, enjoy the gorgeous canvas shoe eye-candy. Sigh... ~Sarah Related posts:Ten Things I Heart Right Now (And a Few I Don’t) Ten Things I’m Really Loving Right Now… 1.) While I...Comeback Covered Button Jewelry ...

09.16.08Wear a Dress Week & Another Amy Butler Lotus DressI certainly love the Amy Butler Lotus dress. So much, in fact, that I'd planned on wearing this version in celebration of International Wear a Dress Day/Week.

So, I pulled out my black stretch twill version (and I've got ...

05.29.08It’s Gotta Be the ShoesIt has taken me ten days, but I think I am finally able to discuss the shoes. The combination of frustration, old shoe funk and the massive loss of brain cells from working with Shoe Goo had rendered me unable to rationally explain why and how I made these things and their deeper meaning (not really, they don't have one). I had been thumbing through the most recent issue of Craft Magazine a while back and noticed that there was an article on making shoes using an old pair of Chucks. Honestly, I thought this was pretty sweet, but wanted ...

05.04.08SlackerThis may come as a shock to everyone, but I actually finished something for once. It's been ages, and it's not for lack of trying. I have had this pinstriped denim that I got at Bolt quite awhile ago (this fall, maybe?), but had grown way too attached to, and thus was reluctant to cut. It's the same fabric that I used for the elbow patches of my "Not Knitted Sweater." So, sort of on a whim, I decided to just go for it and make another pair of the Hot Patterns Jeanious Jeans, this time with the intention of not ...
