bits and bobbins

how fun are these fabric covered jazz shoes and ankle boots by greenpoint, brookyn-based osborn design studios? VERY. the shoes and boots are all handmade in guatemala city using locally-sourced materials.

i think the top and bottom pair are (almost!) literally begging to be mine…party time booties, indeed!

mai, a friend from my san francisco days and the powerhouse behind the fabulous bay area-based street fashion site fashioni.st has had her style showcased on mighty girl this week, an equally huge bay area blog, as a part of the “mighty closet” series. which is, as far as i can discern, maggie’s celebration of the style of women in her life (?).

anyway, all the ladies featured are fabulous, but mai is my favorite, and not just because she’s a friend…

mai is one of the most creative dressers i have ever met. her style is off-the-wall, irreverent, unapologetic, current, futuristic, and retro, all at once. she has an amazing, art-informed eye, and her outfits are like these amazing collages of influences and incredible finds (cheap and not so cheap). to top it all off, she’s wickedly intelligent, a loyal, generous friend, and incredibly confident. she’s not everyone’s cup of tea, especially stylistically, but my my, what a tasty cup of tea she is to those who know her and/or can appreciate her.

mai is an inspiration to me. i miss you mai!

(btw: how friggin amazing is that headband???!!! oh, covet.)

hey hey!
here you go, beautiful people.
enjoy!!!

love,
tricia
