Want to be a caped crusader like Susie Bubble? FashionDig has a few good-looking vintage capes. This elegant fringed cape is $65. The cute blue one ($45) was made for upscale department store Bonwit Teller. More fringe. This one is $150. Strange. It is from the same store and looks identical to the one in…

The Ones That Got Away
It seems fish feet are everywhere, yet I cannot procure the fish feet of my dreams. The Manolo discovered these fish flip-flops (fish-flops?) via Unknown Highway. Maybe they’d be better as high-heel fish-flops My search for the Christian Louboutin fish shoes continues. Behind Big Glasses is trying to divert me with elephant feet. Nice try,…
Consolation Prize
My obsession: the beauteous Christian Louboutin Pesce shoes. During my never-ending quest for fish feet, I found a young-adult book about a boy who wants to be a ballet dancer.

Giving You the Boot
I’m trying to avoid going into stores so that I’m not tempted to spend. Things are so much more enticing in person than they are online. I went into Barneys recently and I thought I was going to start licking the purses on the first floor. They looked so delicious. But I have new jewelry…
Butt Bows Iz Back in Fashun

He’s Ba-a-a-ck! Again!
Designer Todd Oldham has a new fashion project: creative director for Old Navy. Oldham’s been doing all kinds of things for years, ranging from costume design to floral design to home furnishings design. But whenever I see his name, I get nostalgic for his supermodel-filled runway shows in the ’90s. I feel the same nostalgia…
