Shoes That Give Me a Special Feeling

Um, can you say cute?! What a delight to find such perfect shoes, in perfect condition, and a perfect fit. Oh, and did I mention I only paid $18 bucks for them? I feel like a lucky lady for sure!

Yesterday, I had a bit of extra time so I strolled down to Revival in downtown Iowa City, Iowa. Revival and I have had a long standing relationship together. When they first opened about 5 years ago, I was lucky enough to sell my hand sewn goods at the boutique. The store became such a great success that it moved to a far larger location and does killer business bringing in the perfect mix of new goods, one-of-a-kind items, and consigned vintage finds. These Gianni Bini's were no doubt a pricey purchase for whoever previously owned them and I had the luck of finding them in like-new condition for way cheap. Hell yes!

Free Music is Good Music

Love 'em or hate 'em, Urban Outfitters often has cool stuff, although sometimes at prices beyond my range. At the very least, their website and store gives one a clear idea of what is hip at the moment. Annnnnnd, Urban Outfitters is sometimes a bit generous, as well.

Enjoy downloading an entire CD's worth of music. Free.

And if you like it, then you can download the other 3 "U.O. Listen" CDs they have put on their site. Hey, its more than Abercrombie has ever done for any of us, right?!

Music Go Music

Inside of the heart of every man, woman, and child is a passion for the feel good, coked up music of ABBA. For those of you who are willing to admit your true love and desire, you need to check out "Music Go Music." Strangely enough, this group is on the indie snob label Secretly Canadian (Magnolia Electric Co., Anthony and the Johnsons, etc.). Annnnnd, I like how on Myspace, they have marketed themselves as Easy Listening and Healing Music!!! Good times.
