cat and the hat

Too strange? I know when I did my Intern ship in Berlin a few years ago I shopt a lot of vintage, there you could find amazing things for really good prizes, I think I must have gotten the fur coat there too... I'm having a vintage steal blackout or something? I start to forget the best vintage spots???</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The tights are a flea market steal, there was a whole pile of really old tights, still in its package and with amazing hues, they were like 20 cents a piece, mouse gray, lilac gray, elephant gray, you name it, so now I have like 10 different shades of gray tights :)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">The fur hat is another vintage riddle? no idea when and where I got it? :/<br /><br />And as for shopping.... I'm broke as a bum so ofcourse I'm lusting and drooling over like a zillion items while when I have money in my pocket I never seem to find anything I like, figures...<br /><br />So bare with me while I'm drooling over shopbop's<br /><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3646056-10494955" target="_top">30 - 70% off Marc Jacobs, C&C California, James Perse & More!</a><img border="0" height="1" src="http://www.awltovhc.com/image-3646056-10494955" width="1" /> </span></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">sale, Superfine side stripe skinny jeans, a Rachel Pally agness dress and most of all A Vanessa Bruno top on sale for $260.50... aaaarghhhh, and a lot of romantic slip dresses and black sophisticated rompers and a gray long dress (splendid) very similar to the one I always wear..... where is my birthday when I need it? :/</span></span> :/ :/<br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br />to make things worst... these <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3646056-10606598" target="_top">Frye Deborah Studded Boots </a><img border="0" height="1" src="http://www.ftjcfx.com/image-3646056-10606598" width="1" />are Aaaaamazing, but even when I'm not broke the prize would be a bit out of my league, </span>$648.00, then again I wear my fry's always so its a must to invest in some boots that you can wear forever and in all seasons, with jeans, summer slips, fur, these studs are so fine and multi colored so a DIY seems really hard to pull off... Maybe you can find similar plain boots on Ebay and still work out a way to work the studs?<br /></span>
