CCCIII.
These have to be the most beautiful (and expensive) handbags I have ever seen. Gucci, are you trying to kill me?
CCCII.
My dad and I have been tooling around with the idea of winning the lottery and investing the winnings in something that would, well, make a serious profit. Unlike most people that win the ridiculous prize, we've braced ourselves for the possibilities and the realities of not wasting the motherload and -cough- never winning. Piecing the whole business fantasy together is the real fun part anyway.
One of my dad's long-time dreams has been to brew his own beer and start up a gastropub and inn based on Grace Sherwood, a tried and convicted "witch" between 1705-1706. When I was young I thought the idea of the Witchduck Brew and Pub was too farfetched and gimmicky, but now that I'm older, more aware of ideas that sell, and seriously into craft and high-end beers, I want to make this happen SO bad.
The Pub: 1) The food would be pretty typical pub food, but based around which beers would enhance the food, and the fries would be called Broomsticks, 2) The draft list would include around 50 beers, 3) The beers would be served in specialty glasses like the Birch Bar in Norfolk, and 4) The waitresses would dress in all-black uniform, except in October they dress in witch costumes, 5) The decor would be warm and rustic with lots of wood and vintage objects.
The Brew: 1) It would be called Witchduck Brew after Witchduck Road, 2) The label would rival the St. Pauli Girl, 3) The German and Belgian-style wheat beer would be called White Witch, 4) The bitter beer (IPAs, bochs, lagers, etc.) would be called Bitter Witch, 5) The stout would be called Black Witch
THIS IDEA NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

CCXCIX.
Shopbop.com is SUCH an enabler. The Pendleton for Opening Ceremony shorts seen below seem like such an odd purchase (my dad laughed when I showed them to him), but they go with SO MUCH. Of course I'm limiting my options to the source.
I don't know what to think!

CCXCVIII.
This is a more realistic portrait of an outfit that I would be able to pull off. I already own the green tights and the scarf. Money saved!
CCXCVII.
The shoes in my previous post will go AWESOME with my other recent Anthro purchases:
For the record, I didn't buy the swing coat or the navy tights. Although, they would look awesome with the outfit. I've always wanted to successfully pull off wearing primary colors.

New shoes in my life! I'm not typically a shoe person, so I hope they are as awesome in person as they appear on my laptop screen.
Sigh.
