spring comes at vagabond

I took one of my retail therapy decompress and relax jonts out and about Olde City today. I decided to stop in Vagabond Boutique, when I spotted this super cute pair of suede Rachel Comey perforated open-toe oxford pumps in the window. Gorgeous!

There are a number of fabulous new spring pieces, but I particularly fell in love with this little japanese-inspired cardigan/jacket/button-down from Aoyama Itchome.

There was also a film crew in the boutique filming a "Best of Shopping" segment for Philadelphia Weekly (at least I think it was Philly Weekly. I was nervous.) They interviewed me and filmed me trying on a few things in front of the mirror, so maybe you'll see me doing one of the things that I do best (um...shopping). It was fun, and it was a highlight of a day that otherwise wasn't going so well.
