I went and got these shoes cobbled last week and I totally love them! I got them for a buck at Blacklist Vintage's Annual Digger's sale (and didnt realize they were broken), and had them fixed for $30 bucks. It was totally worth it! If you live in the Minneapolis area, I would highly suggest Lee's Shoe Repair on Lake.

I am so looking forward to wearing these in the transitional fall months when I need a closed-toe shoe. But I can easily wear them with or without tights! Perfect!

You can see in the bottom picture best where the strap was added onto. I think its super charming.

Browsing the Commons on Flickr today, and came across these autochromes from the Swedish National Heritage Archives. I would love to just languish in these beautiful Swedish gardens for the rest of the summer, wouldnt you? They look so hot and calm and wonderful.






ps: I've been totally blog slacking lately. I apologize, but it seems like Alex and I are out of town or at some big event every weekend this summer! I am sure once the fall rolls around (I wish it never would!), I'll be back to my regularly scheduled blogging. Hope you are having a great summer too!
