you're damn right

there's something just so slick and badass about a leather trench coat... and i mean that in a less matrix more shaft kind of way... adding it to my mental salvation army shopping list for when i'm home for christmas... can't wait!

everybody knows this is nowhere

wise shoppers like to say that if you try something on at a store and don't buy it, but still love it a day or two later then it's worth going back and buying... i tried on these varnish effect trousers at zara over a week ago and i can't get them out of my mind... i suppose i know what i need to do then?!

happiness, no more be sad

it's finally sweater weather in nyc! woot woot! i'm currently on the hunt for the perfect cabled ivory/cream crewneck... and even though there's a seemingly endless number of options out there, my new knit still alludes me... maybe it's because i want an impossible hybrid of softness and drape?? orrrrrr maybe because i'm convinced "the one" is a $700 isabel marant number?! woe to my much too small salary!!

go your own way

by some stroke of luck i won a coveted ticket to the outnet's $2 second birthday sale... only 2,000 people were given the opportunity to purchase one high end designer item for $2. even though there were over 2,000 items available ensuring each customer would get something it was imperative to shop and purchase quickly lest someone else buy the object of your desire first.... i wasn't too impressed with the selection... my goal of finding a spring jacket was quickly abandoned for anything that was actually semi-me.... and so i came upon these saucy jil sander sandals in a size 10... sexy and classic yet still unique, these babies retail for $805. yes, you read that right... and my total including shipping and handling? $8... BUA HAHA!!!! best. deal. EVER!!! now i'm just worrying will they fit? will i be able to walk in them? will i even care?

the polaroid of perfection

ooooh baja jackets... not just for the adorable hippie boys playing hacky sack anymore! everyone from proenza schouler to urban outfitters is bringin the 90's slacker staple back... though for proenza's $1500 version i'd expect a nice spliff and breckyn myer to come along with it!

gonna make you move

majorly swooning over stylestalker's new snakebite leggings... dying to make them my go-to party pants... although cheap monday's strap skinny jeans make an excellent, cheaper (and perhaps more durable in my accident prone case!) option...
