The Theoretical Shopaholic

As a child (and a fan of Katy Keene comics) I always assumed that I’d own a dress like this (only $140! from Mercy Vintage Now). In every colour.

So… this jacket ($495, from Vintage Art and Goods)… good find on Etsy or best find in the history of all jackets ever?

Still wearing feathers? Pfft. For somethng a bit more bad ass, try porcupine quill earrings ($30) from Etsy vendor Adam J Waddell.

The Comics Reporter is reporting that Drawn and Quarterly is planning new English releases of classic Scandinavian comics. 

This autumn comes the first ever English translation of Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi Longstocking comics!  With art by Ingrid Vang Nyman, Lindgren herself brought her classic red-headed, pig-tailed girl to comics back in the late 1950s.

Very excited about this. Pippi is one of my childhood heroes. She fueled my love for horses and flexing my muscles, as well as my fantasies about being rich and not having to do math.

So creepy it’s cool. I must have it. It’ll make for the weirdest fleur de sel you’ve ever sprinkled.

Mark this date. It’s the first time I ever clicked on a Facebook ad. Not a fan of sports jerseys (or sports in general), which is why this literary tee collection from Novel-T, including the Charles Darwin jersey ($24.95), is kind of cute (as is the one for Hester Prynne, with a big A on the breast.) How would it go down during the pre-game prayer, I wonder?

They say there’s nothing new out there (not sure if that applies to Etsy or, like, you know, the world) but I’m really digging this creative chain-link scarf ($58) from Etsy vendor Yokoo. Warm jewelry!

But would it kill the model to smile?

Ha ha, just kdding. Pretending I’m old and bitter and wondering why young people don’t smile more. But come on. You’re stylish AND cozy!

If I thought this Community mug ($12) would get to me (and B) in time, I’d snap it up in a second form the NBC store. My extra special Xmas wish? For the show (both Community and Troy & Abed in the Morning) to not be canceled.

The perfect hammock for Canada’s cimate (via dwellings).
