“In a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves: the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy” - Ivan Illich

"Hi, my name's Hebden and I have...stud issues..."

"Hi, Hebden..."

For the record, the 12-step plan didn't work...I'm still fixated on all kinds of studs...usually on fabulous boots with heels so high that I get vertigo from looking at them...or pieces of clothing with dramatically high price tags...so it was nice to come across something that I could actually both a) wear and b) afford with my beloved studs on. Namely, these Converse hi and lo tops...

I think I'm in love...or, at the very least, lust.

    Don't blame you - both pairs are lust-worthy.

    I got a Free People catalog in the mail yesterday & those were the first things I saw!

    argh I don't think converse will ever die, they're too easy to make your own

    These are pretty awesome! Definitely stands out from the solid-colored Converse sneakers that just about everyone wears these days.

    Great minds think alike, right? I was just about to write about studs too. I just fell for a pair of white studded sandals.
