Ever been to the roller derby? (Like, Whip It style.) No? You need to. The girls knocking each other down in school girl uniforms with sequined bloomers and black lipstick is worth it alone, but it’s also a much needed break from the weekend dress-up scene. You wear jeans and BYOB. It’s great. The pic, left, depicts a team of derby gals–the Deadly Kennedys, to be exact–in pre-game allegiance stance.

I was in Pittsburgh this weekend for a wedding. The bride, who discovered the hard way that a gown shouldn’t be altered sans the shoes, needed to find flats in a hurry. Apparently, finding bridal shoes without height is no piece of wedding cake. She found these rhinestoned jelly peep-toes just in time. I happen to adore them (and the creativity behind them). Aren’t they a bit glass slipper-esque?
