It was love at first sight when I saw these snakeskin desert boots at the Acne store in Stockholm. I was planning to buy them before I leave because my good ol’ boyfriend’s shoebox of an apartment is already cluttered with my stuff.

Lo and behold last night, my friend Elin gifted me with these boots. Imagine the delight and surprise!

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!

WERQ Those Acne Wedge Boots

Rodartesque sweater aside, these 5.5 inch Acne wedge boots caught my eye yesterday night.

I just finished doing on a round of bloghopping (mind you, it’s Sunday night) and I saw these photos of Yuanyi Jeff Lee sporting them. Gurl you better werq!

BROdarte versus Acne

It’s Sunday 4:55AM and I’m window-shopping around teh interwebs. I saw this interesting knit sweater by Swedish brand Acne. At US$234, I thought the price point ain’t that bad. 

Compare it to this Rodarte piece from last season. Or was it last, last season? Fashion moves so fast these days I have no sense of time whatsoever.

In spite of the massive online coverage received by BROdarte a few months back, why am I surprised Opening Ceremony is still selling that piece? Oh yes, the $2,800 price tag. DUH! Ooops, my bad.

Meanwhile, I’ve been told that Rodarte pieces, especially the knits, are hand-made. So…

Point to ponder.
