Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse: An Accessories Guide

Page 9 of 9. Back to article... or view all.

Palladium boots were used by the French Foreign Legion for decades (not that the French have a stunning amount of military success about which to brag), and their lightweight-but-tough construction makes them the perfect go-to for everything from toughening up a breezy dress to hiking through tough terrain in search of other survivors. $70 via Zappos.

This is such a fun post and the pieces you chose are awesome. I love that the blog creates pieces like these and doesn’t kept a pinched and humorless facade as other blogs do.

Amanda, I am in tears. Seriously, as an English buff –turned French major– I appreciate the well-written, intelligent commentary on both the American complex and the fashion industry. A flawless integration that has not been thought of before. Most of all, your voice shines through clearly. That is what separates this article from the regular daily posts. Brava, Mlle!

However, I must point out one correction. The French have an impeccable war record. They have been involved in 168 wars. I will let the wise words of Cracked fill you in on their accomplishments: [The French have] won 109, lost 49 and drawn (or as close as you can “draw” a war) 10 times. Professional boxers have been crowned world champions on sh***ier records than that.”

And I will end on my own note, “That Marc by Marc Jacbos “pretty” nylon bag won’t look so pretty dripping with Zombie blooooooooooooood!

  I’m glad you liked the post! I just couldn’t resist a little dig at the French stereotype, even if it’s not true.

Just a head’s up, I own the Marc by Marc Jacobs backpack (in a different print), and it is not made to carry anything at all, before the stitching of the straps gives. I wanted it for school, but it couldn’t handle my PowerBook. I love MbMJ, but I was not happy with this purchase – my seamstress fixed it cosmetically, but I can only use it for very light items.

Purple leatherman tool just added to my wish list. I have found myself without a bottle opener or cork screw at the office twice this month and this shall be a fine replacement of the staple puller I’ve been using.

  If you’ve figured out how to open a bottle of wine with a staple puller, something tells me you’ll be resourceful enough to survive the zombie apocalypse just fine.
