The weekend already? Heck yes. This week was stressful, my oh my. But this morning’s shop update went way better than Wednesday’s – not a single technical issue! So I’m very relieved.
Have a wonderful weekend!
I already know how fabulous Sessùn is, but I did not previously know how fantastic their coats are! Perfection. They’re not cheap, but they’re also not outrageous.
Available at Penelope’s – thank you Kate for bringing this awesome store to my attention.
I finally decided on a high-heel boot. They were on sale + I had a 10% off code (MERRYHAPPY). Oh and the description says they’re 4.75″ high, but HA! Yeah right, I’m not that talented. The helpful review section revealed that it’s a typo and they’re only 3.5″. This is as close as I will get to owning a pair of LD Tuttle boots. I almost rewarded myself (um, as a Thanksgiving present?) with a pair of Rachel Comey‘s, but I really cannot get myself to break my $150 shoe rule, as heart-stopping as they may be.
An announcement and preview of tomorrow morning’s shop update is going to come later tonight. I had to sell some of the necklaces that were for tomorrow’s update last night because Big Cartel oversold some of them and I was so stressed out that I just decided to finish packaging everything up and go to bed, and worry about getting the next update ready tonight instead.
I’m really frustrated and angry because this move was supposed to make the shop better, but instead I acquired new problems that are even worse than the issues I had with selling them on Etsy. Some people didn’t even get 15 minutes to check out, as their site promised with the options I had turned on. It’s too late to switch back to Etsy for this month, so I’m considering my options for the new year. If tomorrow goes badly as well, maybe it’s back to Etsy for the next two updates later this month.
We shall see. Thank you everyone for your amazing support. I guess I should be thankful that I have enough customers to cause a glitch like this? Trying to see the good in this, as Billy has encouraged me to do! This morning as I dropped all the packages into the mailbox, I forgot about how insanely mad I was last night and only felt blessed.
Update: I got a pretty nice email from Big Cartel about why overselling happens due to a delay with paypal communicating with big cartel to tell them that an item is sold. ALSO! You do have 15 minutes to check out, but only once you are checking out, you don’t get to have your item in your basket for 15 minutes while you shop for more. So, if you want two necklaces you’ll need to be quick, or check out twice (because shipping is free.) Not a perfect system, but I think I mostly understand now.
Today I am going to find out what it feels like for people to try to snag one of my necklaces in a shop update by trying to snag one of Martha’s amazing Uniform Natural scarves. Back of people, it’s mine!! Calendar reminder on, doing hand and finger exercises so I’m nimble and quick with clicking. I almost didn’t want to tell you about it, but sometimes I’m a nice person.
The new video for the Charlotte Gainsbourg/Beck duet “Heaven Can Wait” is great, and I love this song – from their album IRM I mentioned before. January 26th cannot come fast enough.

Some fine gents from my small but wonderful male readership here often ask me for some recommendations on fashion for guys, and it’s hard because my philosophy for my taste in men’s fashion is “I’ll know it when I see it.” Street Etiquette falls directly into that category, and I have a serious crush on this blog of two fashionable guys in NYC who chronicle their excellent style with photos, tips, and shopping recommendations.
And I love this little pint-size bonus:

10 more prints in stock! If there are any other old prints you want to purchase, let me know.
and I’m finally credited on print society, woohoo! I’m not sure if it was my persistent nagging emails or the system just finally started working…either way.
