Prada Bunny Shoe

I purchased the Prada bunny shoe. (That's what I call them)  I can't believe I did it, but when I saw them this past weekend at our Neiman's Last Call, I just couldn't resist them.  I made so much fun of this shoe when it came out!  So why was it that when I saw a  pair on the shelf, all cuddled up in their little shoe box that I just had to have them?  It was something of the collector in me I'm pretty sure.....

They are so cute!!  I'll admit too that when Tommy featured these on his blog a couple of months back, I saw something special in them.  I thought to myself," if I ever come across those shoes I'm going to get them because they look like something I need in my "collection."  

I love both colors.....and the detail of the ruffle is really compelling....They have a really great look.  I'm smitten.

So tired of the rain in Dallas...here is a ridiculous picture of Sash sunbathing taken a couple of weeks ago.  (I just wanted to remember what sun looked like)

Clips......

I finally had a few moments to relax and catch up on some magazines.  I got the new issues of Maisons Cote Sud and Maisons Cote Quest.  (new via Barnes and Noble in Southlake Texas, which means they could be 7 months old, I don't read french) There were so many beautiful images to look at.  I cut some out and scanned them. So here they are in no particular order and no commentary...enjoy!

Meet Up

Today we met up with Lucrecia from Fashion is Poison.  She was in from California...

We picked her up at her hotel and went for lunch and some shopping at NorthPark in Dallas...

We ate a lot of sweets, and had coffee at La Duni....

And shopped of course....

Lucrecia is a sweetheart!!  I hope she didn't find the three Aldridge girls too overwhelming.  We'll look forward to seeing her again when we go to LA in June....

I put a few new things on the site--if you have moment take a look....PlainObjects.com.

The Boots

I posted a while back about these Givenchy SS/09 over the knee cowboy boots.  Well, mine finally arrived this past week from Barney's.  

I tried them on quickly today with this black dress from The Row. Vintage Trifari necklace.

Here is a close up--the leather is pretty incredible....

I also tried them on with an oversized vintage flannel shirt....

Sprouse is Home and Other Things

Lots of things to update you all on.  First of all, the Stephen Sprouse jacket arrived home from Ohio today.  The fabulously talented Edith Kovacs did the painstaking re-weaving, and she did an amazing job.  I was really on the fence on whether this jacket should be saved or not, but I'm so glad I chose to do the restoration and that I found Edith.  I'm listing Edith's website with her permission so you will all have an amazing fabric re-weaver at your finger tips.  Edith Kovacs I will debut the newly restored Sprouse jacket but it still needs a good cleaning and pressing. In other news Jane and I have been pretty excited about some recent vintage finds.  We both went crazy over this 80's wool wrap dress...this dress is not on the site yet, but we did add lots of new things today, so have a look.  Plainobjects.com

For some reason, Jane and I have both decided we need to have a great faux fur for fall.  We've had lots of fun looking and here is one of our finds.....

I found a great cranberry colored faux fur, and I will model it soon.  I just love that the colors are so unrealistic.  When is the last time you saw a cranberry or forest green colored animal?  That's the fun of faux fur...We are also loving black and white.  Could be Dries Van Noten's current collection, but we have come across some great vintage pieces in stark black and white, and I'm loving the contrast!

Vintage skirt...

Great 80's piped black and white jacket with Christopher Ross belt.  Also......

Tara at Leviticus Jewelry

sent us some really fun necklaces.  Carol is wearing the vampire teeth, and they are so cute.  The teeth are actually hinged, so they move back and forth.  Check out her site, she is a Texas girl.  Thanks Tara!

She Did It Again!

Carol was at it again, baking up a  storm in the kitchen.  This time, she baked a giant cupcake!  I won't be able to fit into my jeans if she keeps this up.  

All of Carol's cake molds have come from Williams Sonoma.  

Thanks to everyone for visiting Plainobjects.com.   The success has been overwhelming, and more than I ever expected.  We found the problem with our overseas shipping, and we are working it out.  In the meantime, just send me an e-mail if you have any questions.  We will be updating on Mondy--so look for new items on Tuesday.  I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Great Vintage Find

I recently found this great vintage Jenny jacket.  This is the perfect jacket to throw on over anything.  

I haven't  worn these Giuseppe Zanotti wedges in a while.  I need to get them out more often.  Guiseppe does the best wedges in my humble opinion. 

I want to thank Kelly from White Blank Page for doing a feature on Atlantis home.  I loved her collages, and wish I had better computer skills....all for now.

Check This Out!

I have a new favorite seller on E-bay.  Her site isAfro-Chic.  Yesterday I snagged this incredible wool jacket lined in silk by Telegraphilosophy for $44.99!!  I can hardly wait...

I also couldn't resist this Lost Boys vintage tee..

Definitely check her site out!  She has a really fresh eye for vintage.   I love this lace shirt that is on the site right now...

I found the site about a month ago, and since that time, I have seen some very interesting things pass through at incredible prices....I don't think her prices will stay low for long.

Happy Easter!

Here in Texas we don't always do traditional Easter fair for Easter dinner.  We had no family visiting this Easter, so we decided to go for Tex-Mex.

Spinach and mushroom enchiladas, turkey tacos, vegetarian refried beans, and corn relish.  For dessert Carol made us another fabulous cake....

Here is Carol putting on the frosting....

Close up of bunny cake in progress with a beard.....

The finished bunny cake.  Carol did a great job!

Jane picked up these Martin Margiela boots over the weekend.  I love them!  I hope everyone had a great Easter!!

GLITZ!
