Indie-Inspired Trend: Warm Woollen Slippers

December 09, 2008

gift-tagKnitted bags are somehow not around the mainstream shops this season, instead, it's slippers. I wish it were shoes, but ah, no. Not this year anyway, though trends tend to evolve each year - something to look forward to. But winter 'tis the season for cozying our toes, anyway. Let the flats come back in Spring, after all!

Shop by budget:


Impressive:



Juicy Couture - on sale for $46


Recessive:



Old Navy - on sale for $10


Constructive: (crochet pattern)


UnRavel Me (on Etsy) - $4.50

Shopping: Obama Holiday Mug lacks.. Holiday

December 09, 2008

 

Is black the new red & green, too?

I get e-mail updates from "the Obama camp" and apparently they're still sending me stuff even now. That's fine and all, and nevermind my e-mail hatred - this one was interesting. They're promoting a limited edition mug as the "Obama Holiday Mug" - thing is, it lacks any sign of any holiday whatsoever.

In fact, it's just black & simple and oozes deathly ominous vibes, not celebratory ones, which means I don't even think it's truly geared toward Obama fans honoring the president elect. It doesn't even seem suited for Martin Luther King day, let alone much but a funeral, therefore, and seems to only say that on Christmas morn', we'll still have Bush behind that huge White House lawn.

Come on, there could have been a tree - fair to both Christians and Pagans (the original reasoners of the season). But I suppose a tree does not "say" "Bush"?
