shoes, boots, bags, and Tumblr!

Because I don't already spend enough time online, I've started a Tumblr account. And I have to say: I'm addicted. Yeah, I'm late to the party, but whatever. I'm using it as a place to collect some of the many things with which I'm obsessed at any given moment, so expect to see lots about music, cocktails, wool socks, the Moomintrolls, Richard Armitage, terriers, etc. Fashion and vintage, too, even! (And if you have a Tumblr account, feel free to post it in the comments; I'm looking for interesting people to follow there.)

Here's a shop accessories update with lots of shoes, a few great leather bags, and more.

we still dance on whirling stages

...in my Busby Berkeley dreams

Yep, I'm sticking with the Magnetic Fields "69 Love Songs" lyrics as post titles this month (although the title/lyrics above have nothing really to do with this post). Well, actually, no--there are two pairs of dancing-ready shoes in this preview. And some fancy cuff links for the guys.
