shoe stretcher inspiration

does anyone else get inspired by these?
all via ebay, and they link to source.
you're welcome.

like wow.

I bought a pair of shoes that need stretching. That's how great they are. They're kind of awesome, well, hopefully, once they're stretched. I thought of stretching it out myself and don't think it's worth it. some youtube videos look hard core. so... cobbler express for me!

Reference Library blog review

Here's a concept:
You look at things on ebay and don't necessarily look at them to buy them. And you want to share because your finds are extraordinary.

Here's the blog:
reference library

Here's posts I adore:

I don't know why I like this. Maybe because I can't believe it was $.01 on ebay.

This idea is to remember.

I can't believe this was $192.50, but then again I can because it's gregory.

It was not the jacket so much that I liked about this post.
It was the mention about leather-reinforced buttons. It was kind of charming.

This was just... wtf. really? glee club? wtf.

Tuleh Fall 2009 Preview

Click on the image to take you to my source. It's a new thing I'm starting to do.

Tuleh 2009 Spring has jackets that match the dresses. They've done this before like in Spring 2008. I think it's so elegant. Like, you know if someone owns both, they care. And it's cool to care.

sigerson morrison and shift dress

So here are boots that I hope will go with my soon to be made shift dresses.
I got these shoes at Loehmann's the other day (ok, like a month ago).
They're sigerson Morrison.
And as I've been writing, short boots are awesome.
However, they are difficult to pull off and cannot work with every outfit.
Like these, I can't tuck them under my boot cut pants because of all the leather above the actual shoe part of the boot.

I've decided that you've got to have ankle hugging pants - like leggings.

So... I want to make some (like a million in a million different colors) that look like this (yeah, if I post the picture enough, maybe I will finally make one):
