Those boots are so you…are you sure you’re not already wearing them in some parallel universe?
I also must comment on Paris Hilton being a crafty…she’s famous for being vapid. How on earth did she get linked to a line of craft making supplies? Her walnut sized brain can barely craft sentences. Oh, the horror!!!

The book covers are inspired! Love them + they remind me of Saul Bass. My fav has to be the Temple of Doom cover.

Those wedge boots are very cute and soo you!!
I still cannot believe the Paris Hilton article! Her…crafts!!!??? It just doesn’t mix at all. I guess we’ll see how well that line does.
Funny that you post about McDonald’s making fun of Starbucks. I had first heard about those billboards on Conan O’Brien, but wasn’t sure if they were real. Now I know that they are indeed! Seems they are switching places. I hear that McDonald’s did better with their coffee and Starbucks plans to launch a line of healthy fast food.
I always love reading your link love article and all others. Great stuff Nubby

Those boots are amazing. I’m not a ‘shoe’ girl – I could probably rotate 5-6 pairs all the time and be fine with it – but those are so simple yet edgy.
I love Paris.

oooh link #8 is great, i’ve just read that Michael Bierut article, I liked the MAD stuff he did. I read an article about him from another link of yours a while back, he’s interesting and informative.
