Calvin Klein Shoes
Generally speaking, I really like Calvin Klein shoes and handbags – it’s another case of liking accessories much more than their actual RTW designs (Betsey Johnson is another example).

Vintage Pattern Discovery!
In what seems to be my never ending move to New York (now 2+ years), I requested another shipment of belongings from Chicago. I wanted my random assortment of vintage patterns to be included in said package, and much to my surprise, my sister Lauren mentioned she discovered a few patterns in the mass of [...]
