Accessorize satin-pleated ballet pumps

I'm off to a wedding this weekend, and as always seems to happen prior to these occasions, I found myself in Accessorize. Perhaps I'm a snob, but I wouldn't normally buy shoes in Accessorize; I care too much about my footwear to consider it an 'accessory', and have the idea from somewhere that none of their shoes would fit my oddly-shaped feet. But I was nevertheless taken with their current range of flats, which are difficult for any brand to get wrong. In particular, I like these flexible, satin ballet flats with their softly pleated satin uppers and gently sloping sides. Available in red or black, they cost just £15.

From a few feet away this looks like a tie with an abstract woven pattern in rather bright colors, but if you look closer you will see that the little red rectangles actually say "Toshiba," and every other diagonal band contains a repeating line drawing of a different Toshiba product. They've even labeled each one: starting at the top and working down, we have cinema T.V., battery, car radio, cordless [telephone], "fst" [flat screen television], cell phone, and VCR. Corporate ties are usually very dull, so I applaud Toshiba for commissioning one (from Vinuchi) that's so lively and distinctive, if not actually attractive.

Now finally this selection is available online.

Bright shoes at the Met Costume Institute Gala - what did you think of Katie Holmes' and Diane Kruger's shoes?

I know bright shoes are hard to avoid right now, but I somehow don't think Katie Holmes got the look quite right at Monday's Costume Institute Gala, wearing electric blue stilettos with this shiny red dress. Of course, bright, pointy stilettos tend to give any outfit something of an 80s vibe, so

Still pampered

It's been almost a month since I last wore a tie, and a year and a half since I wore one of my treasured Pamper Him ties from Chicago. This is the third one to appear on the blog, which leaves me with three yet to be blogged, I believe. That could take another couple years, at this rate. Pamper Him seems to have vanished, as have most of the fabrics from Exotic Silks from which they made their ties (but this one is still there). Only the ties remain, and darn few of those, I suspect.

Fortunately I have popped back onto the blog in time to learn about Catherine Gutsche's upcoming show at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in Almonte, Ontario. Faithful readers (both of you) will recognize Catherine as the artist who turned my wedding tie into a painting, which now hangs in its place of honor over our marital bed. The show runs May 14 through August 2 (2008, in case you're reading this in the future), with an opening reception on Saturday, May 24. If you're in the area, go see!
