School Supplies: Snagged, DKNY Wingtips

-I've been looking for some darker cap toe oxfords for awhile, but yesterday these DKNY antiqued calfskin wingtip oxfords were on Gilt for only $68 so I couldn't pass them up. I've always been a bit opposed to wingtips, I don't really know why except that maybe they just seem a bit too ornate for me. But I really liked the color and subtle worn look of these, so they should hold me over until I can afford some more legit cap toes. more

School Supplies: Wolverine Lace-up Boot

-I haven't really been looking and mid-height boots and unlike most people, I haven't really liked a lot of the Redwing releases over the last year. My grandpa Frank only wears Wolverine boots and if these weren't $325 I'd try to snag them and pay homage. File these under: hopefully they'll be around in a couple months when I've got money.

School Supplies: Rubber Boat Shoes

-The Sperry x Band of Outsiders nuttiness is back in action with these rubber boat shoes. They look good, but are they practical? Comfortable? I dunno, but as a rule I don't say anything negative about Sperry.

School Supplies: Sperry x Modern Amusement

-I've noted my unequivocal love for Sperry a number of times, and more casually, I've dropped a couple lines about my appreciation for Modern Amusement. For a long time in high school I wasn't really pumped on slip-ons, but I was already a huge Sperry fan when I saw bought these in 2006. They're showing a good amount of wear but I still like them for the simple task of hopping on my skateboard and cruising to class on a sunny day. I got them for $75 at Nordstrom, and in the three years that I've owned them, I've never seen anyone else with the same pair. All in all, a great buy with a couple years left to enjoy.
