City Mouse

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Marc Jacobs mouse flats have been on my mind since I first spotted Mischa Barton wearing them way back in her OC days, and like Adam Brody, I never really got over them.What's been holding me back all these years is that I could never quite find a color combination ...
