I really don't want to join the ranks who are bewailing the non-starter of a spring/summer we're having so instead, I'll just look ahead and just shrug happily if the summer does come and if not, well, there's all the AW08-9 stuff to look forward to.  Now I may or may not be venturing to some rather extreme cold climates in the USA later on in the year so I am looking to LD Tuttle [2] to providing me with the proper footwear to tough it out.  Of course even in weather extremities, I'm not really going to opt for the practical either so I feel like their AW08-9 collection goes in for a happy medium.  Sturdy but still good looking.  A Christian Bale as opposed to a Cillian Murphy (both are superb sturdy actors of course but Murphy's looks err towards to the delicate side of things...).  I'm especially intrigued by the swash of a horse tail hanging at the back of the shoe with all things fringey still being my number one choice of adornment these days.
