Gucci Throwback - What a phrase!


That was the term my father used to describe my interest in hunting.

He said, and I quote...

"Hunting - a Gucci Throwback to the paleo period."

need I say more?

Well, no, but as we know, I can't stop. So, I passed hunters ed...was the best shot in the class, mind you it was a 22 rifle at 25 yards, and if I wasn't the best shot I would have lost it! I grew up hunting rodents and cans in my backyard! (older brother in the fam obviously) Thus, a good shot is mandatory...and 25 yards is not worth the numbers used to type it.

Now, I have the same coach as the 2008 Olympic bronze medalist in skeet and trap. I am going to be amazing!

As much as I would love to hook you up in this post with some sick deal on camo gear in honor of hunting glory...I got nuthin for ya : (

But back to Gucci...Since when did that become the word to describe "luxury" ???? My boyfriend even calls his Sorrel boots his Gucci boots...as a nod to the humor that he wouldn't be caught dead in Gucci - the real thing.

I must have missed something.

Clothes for a Cause


Fashion over function is not a concept considered in the likes of Alaskan extremities. Fine, really, it is just fine. I am getting quite comfortable...and I have found alternate means of making statements.
Toms...see image...I have them with red polka-dots. Totally comfy. Actually wore them to a Red, White, and Blue, or Die! BBQ this weekend. I understandably struggled with the title of this blog today because - well, commenting on undying Alaskan Patriotism in bold titles is almost too much fun to resist.
I resisted.
The shoes are branching out from their original. But they were designed with a few things trumping high-fashion, like say, consideration for others and planet. What a concept!
Shoes with soul/sole - Toms donates a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair sold. They are also made with recycled rubber soles.
