each day for about a week, i'll feature one pair of my fluevogs. why? because i love them so!
This was my first pair. They are quite beat up now; i wore them almost every day for several years. They are a testament to How I Used To Dress Like A Boy. Not very girly, eh?
I can't really remember how I found out about 'vogs. Now, whenever I go to a major city, I try to make it to a Fleuvog store. Although you can mailorder them, the sizes are wonky sometimes and trying them on is a safer bet. Happlily now we have a store in Durham that carries them-- the untidy museum.
I remember when I first got these, they seemed too hip and trendy for me to get away with wearing them-- like, who was I kidding? With those swirls on the sides.
My perspective is quite different now.

Posted by: alicia on February 25, 2004 10:23 PMwho/what/where is firefly in raleigh?
i now have seven pairs, but will only be featuring six of them in the blog, as the seventh pair are sandals and therefore in storage.
they're not important to my personal fashion evolution, anyway :)
Posted by: lisa on February 25, 2004 10:27 PMi have a pair of the sandals handy... i can take a photo of my feet in my pair if you want. ;-)
Posted by: christa on February 25, 2004 11:39 PMfirefly is an AWESOME shoe store in raleigh, and also has a tiny art gallery in it. lots of great hipster shoes! it's on glenwood ave., up the block from helios. it's worth the drive to raleigh, and also worth not being able to afford to eat anything but soup for a month. :)
i look forward to seeing all your fluevogs!
