It's Britney, Bitch!

Ok, not really. It's just me. I've been MIA lately--even a bit missing from myself, if that's possible. I'm trying to get back to doing things that I love, and however shallow it may be to say it, I love coveting things online. SO, without further ado, here are some things I've been coveting!

3.1 Phillip Lim Blackberry Holder wallet at Net-A-Porter.com

I think this is the best idea ever, combination wallet and BlackBerry holder--especially if, like me, you carry a big bag to work, but really just need your wallet when you run out to coffee, etc. and would like to grab that, phone, keys without hassle.

Medium Leather Buckle Satchel at Topshop.com

Speaking of a big bag, I could toss the Phillip Lim wallet in here along with a book, newspaper, journal, and my lunch, making this an IDEAL commuting bag. I'd like to see it in person. The site says it's 100% leather, so I think this might be a decent buy given the $100 price point if the quality is good. Not that I have $100 to spend on a bag right now...


Jeffrey Campbell 'Charli-C' Clog at Nordstrom.com

I think these clogs fall under what I would wear if I were stick skinny. I'd wear these, big sunglasses, a floral romper, and a small cross body bag. Given that that is not actually my life, I'll probably stay off these bad boys lest I break my ankle.

Zoinks!

Since I've been getting into the online fashion world, I've signed up for a few different shopping things, like ShopItToMe.com and Ideeli.com. Both are pretty cool. Ideeli gets various bags and bobbles that they sell at reduced rates, and Shop It To Me lets you put in name brands and stores of interest, and they send you an update of those items that are on sale. Well, today I got an email, and I was THRILLED to see this on sale at Bluefly.com. Unfortunately they do not have that item. Thus, I have been foiled by Shop It To Me, and I have a sinus infection, so I'm not feeling super cute or chic.

Maybe that's one of the reasons I invited my fashionable and super-talented interwebs pen pal Stephanie Lim to blog. I can't think of how many years I've known her, but it's been at least 5? I found her randomly on Live Journal, and I thought she was like the coolest person ever! Her artwork is super-rad and girlfriend knows how to accessorize. We've kept in touch since then, and when I started this venture, I immediately thought of her to post some of her style findings from San Francisco and lend her generally flawless opining. And, at the very least, she won't toy with your hearts, promising you on sale Chanel rings that aren't actually in stock. . .

EDIT: It was just a bad link! I just bought the ring!

P.S. What do you think about mixing gold and silver? I've been known to mix black and blue, brown and black--all kinds of faux pas! But I've never done that one too much--should I let go of this archaic fashion dictum?
