Photo montage of Michael Stipe and Thomas Dozol's NYC Loft
2009-01-22 03:02:00
A very inspiring photo montage of Michael Stipe and Thomas Dozol's Loft . Love it. We live in a loft-esque flat, but this is what I truly aspire to. The original wood floors and such. Beautiful. Also features furniture from the delightful BDDW.

Just a little note.The Barney 's sale is a-mazing.

Heaven.Get thee to Barney's. And, hey--just think of it as a safer investment in these trying times. Ha.xo,BG

Great Shoe Sample Sale
2008-01-07 23:30:00
Now this sale is always majorly crowded and there are plenty of duds amongst the hidden gems, but it is most worth it for the great staple boots and shoes you can find, especially boots. I frequent this sale every year and always manage to find fantastic Italian boots and heels at crazy cheap prices. The trick is that as the sale peters out (the last 2 days) the prices drop. So by the last day you can find incredible Italian boots and Frye's and Ugg's for less than 50$ a pair. They also usually have a great selection of Marc Jacobs styles which we all love!Happy Hunting!Shoe -Inn 11th Annual Warehouse Sale Shoe-Inn's 11th Annual Warehouse Sale features over 10,000 pairs of women's designer shoe and boot collections by Stuart Weitzman, Marc Jacobs, Kate Spade, Burberry, Pedro Garcia, Robert Clergerie, Zalo, Miss Trish, Roberto del Carlo, Acqua Italia, Chloe, Cel...
