Pretty blouse. Unpretty price, even on Gilt. Le sigh.
I just got the coolest running shoes!
And no, I did not just get them because they are neon coral pink. I got them because they are a great fit…AND because they are neon coral pink.
“Olga” by Czech photographer Jan Saudek. I like his work.
Read about him here, and visit his site here. Slightly NSFW, but artistically so.
I purchased these Loeffler Randall Tasmin pumps from Bird’s online boutique with this R29 Reserve $100 for $200 at Bird deal.
Bird is one of my favorite shops both online and in person. It carries an enticing stock of shoes—Repetto, No. 6, Loeffler Randall, and Rachel Comey are my favorites. Their jewelry selection is pretty cool, too.
Hey, Lea, look! She went to Barnard :)
Kang Tongbi (Kang Tung Pih) 康同璧, circa 1905.
The daughter of a Chinese intellectual, Tongbi was the first Asian student at Barnard. After the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911, Tongbi returned to China and became involved in feminist causes. Unlike many other women of her class, Tongbi’s feet had never been bound as her parents objected to the practice. In Shanghai, Tongbi co-founded a Tianzuhui (Natural Feet Society) with a female doctor. Tongbi also edited Nüxuebao (Women’s Education), one of the first women’s journals in China, and published a biography of her father Kang Youwei. In the 1920s, she helped organize the Shanghai Women’s Association, which petitioned the Nationalist government in Nanjing for a new constitution under the slogan, “Down with the warlords and up with equality between men and women.”.
