I feel kind of bad about adding this as a Thrifts of Horror post, as I’m no artist and criticizing someone else’s art seems mean. That said it’s pretty bad, mainly because the father and son just look… well creepy. If you look behind it you can see a similar sculpture of a George Washington lookalike and some random kids. I suppose all people like different things and someone may love this, but the last time I was at this thrift store both figures were still there. I just can’t imagine spending any money on this.

These are a few of my favorite things (this week)
1. Gabifresh’s striped dress and sneaker wedges. When sneaker wedges first hit the runway I was skeptical, way skeptical. I like sneakers and am OK with wedges but the look of a sneaker with all the reduced comfort of a wedge didn’t really sound amazing. Then I kept seeing them and when I saw Gabi’s […]

My interpretation ignore the mess […]
What I left behind
A couple of the blogs I read do a “what I left behind” feature and I’ve fallen in love with them, so I’ve decided to add it to my blog as a feature as well. I’m trying to get over my feeling-odd-taking-pictures-in -places-no-one-else-is and just do it. And I have to say I’m happy […]
