Tumblr Tuesday: Coogi Art and Lacy Boots

Coogi art–yes, art made from old Coogi sweaters–seems like a good way to make the most of an, um, unfortunate situation; Mirrored walls always remind me of my childhood home; Lace ankle boots seem delicate and fierce at the same time; I’m slightly obsessed with the way perfume atomizers make even the messiest vanities (ahem, MINE) seem sophisticated; I love that this editorial recalls the days when Linda Evangelista’s ever-changing hair color was front page...
