Orchids

OHHHHH, how I worship orchids... the shapes, the color palettes, the aromas.... the mystery and the sex appeal....

That being said.... Be still my beating heart!!! Are these mirrors not the most gorgeous tribute to orchids ever?? The older I get, the more I tend to unconsciously avoid mirrors. However, if I had any one of these mirrors, I'd be admiring myself every chance I got. In fact, I'd slap on some make-up and a pretty dress just to see my fragmented, smokey reflection in one of these beauties.

All from the Lobmeyr Orchid Collection. Handcut black mirrored crystal and steel. All for the low, low price of $11,000 each.

Ha. I'll keep avoiding mirrors for now, I guess.

Leg Wear, Foot Wear

I am looking for new socks and tights right now because all of mine are in a sad state. Seriously, I never wear matching socks, and if I do, they belong to Dan who is starting to get a little over protective of his carefully matched and folded socks (though in stark contrast, he doesn't seem to give two sh**s about his holey undies). Also, I don't know what my problem is, but I can't wear tights more than three times without snagging them. Sad. Anyway, I went shopping a few days ago on what might be the only day I've taken off in months and found nothing. NOTHING. Gawd. So, naturally, I plopped my ass down in front of the computer for some virtual retail therapy. Here is what I found. I have yet to purchase.

These 4 lovely pairs are from Sock Dreams. Turns out their shop is in Portland, mere blocks from my house!! Maybe I will stop by this weekend?

Betsey Johnson Peek-A-Boo Shorties and Polonova Floral Lace Trouser Socks.

E.G. Smith's Leg Therapy Solids in "Moss," and Danish MP Cable Stitch Tights.

The next group are all available through My Tights.

Emilio Cavallini Collar and Button Ankle Highs. Methinks I MUST HAVE these for photos for Maiden Rapture Vintage.

All 4 of these are by Bebaroque and make my cry real tears for their gorgeousness as well as for their price tags.

These 4 prints all come from tights available through Joy Of Socks.

And finally, sequinned leggings that will probably not happen to me in my lifetime, but a girl can dream, can't she?

Alexander Mcqueen

Les Chiffonniers

Ok, off to steal more socks from Dan....
