Mini

Mini by flashbang featuring Proenza Schouler bags

So usually the only things I could even remotely consider spending a grand on would be shoes. Definitely not a purse. I only own two purses - one is a beat-up ALDO bag that has had everything from beer to yogurt spilled on it, and the other is a hand-me-down from my Oma. And I'm okay with that.
But these little mini PS1s make me almost ready to just close my eyes and press those magic four numbers on the debit card pad.
They are perfectly geometric, and yet very classic. I can see them matching with everything I own. And am I understanding right that some of these are like a 2-in-1 purse, with a detachable front pocket?
En tout cas, I must have one.

Modcloth to the Rescue!

Modcloth to the Rescue by flashbang featuring Proenza Schouler shoes

No, of course they are not of the same caliber. But they are still pretty! And only $62.99. If you don't know about modcloth yet, you really should investigate. In terms of shoes, the best thing is that they often carry Jeffrey Campbells, but the best sell out fast.

I'm curious: has anyone else found a good  and somewhat affordable alternative to the Proenza Schouler? 

Unrealistic Goals

These are all of the shoes that are fantastic to dream about but unlikely to ever be owned by us. 

So why spend so much time obsessively arranging them?

ummm...

Good question.
