Celine, Donna Karan, Pucci Shoes On Sale

Ideeli is having a designer shoe sale! Choices are limited, but these Celine boots are pretty sick.
If I didn't just find the Sam Edelman's on eBay, I would probably be buying these. I'm not crazy about the top, but pair these with skinny pants--fierce.

Celine Short Boot $382 on ideeli.com.

I think I love you, so what am I so afraid of?

W.W.S.W? Who What Wear Daily put together the BEST What Would She Wear for MK Olsen.



I of course, freaked out about the shoes more than anything, but the entire ensemble is fabulous!

Someone has a case of the gimmes!

After The Coveted's review of the Vivienne Tam HP Mini 1000, I found myself obsessed with the idea of a mini notebook.

This Acer Aspire One 8.9" mini would fit the bill nicely at $289.98 on Amazon.com. Sure, it's not designed by Vivienne Tam, but it's TINY, and I could take it EVERYWHERE. Bah.

Twittle me this...Or What I Would Buy Thursday

Yes, I just made up a word, but who doesn't when talking about Twitter? All those twits and tweets and RT @so-and-so.

Recently I took to my twitter page wondering if anyone would pay 5x retail for a pair of shoes that he/she was Obsessed with. I was thinking about this of course, due to the hunt for my white whale, which has left me like Ahab, drowning...in debt. I'm not complaining though, because I am a winner.

The only response I received was from a dear friend, KL Pereiera, stating she would if the shoes were Campers. I chuckled because we definitely had some nervous conversations about spending on those comfy kicks. I then though, however, that I haven't been in to Camper lately. After today's SaleMail, however, I see that I just haven't been looking very hard.


So in KL's honor, here are some awesome Campers shoes. I'm really thinking about getting the pelota sneakers with the black patent details as I had a similar pair that were pink and black, and I wore them until they literally had holes in the sole and were falling apart.

And of course, no KL-themed post would be complete without this.

Lucky Brand Jeans David Bowie T-shirt on sale for $22.50.

TONS of Campers on sale at Endless.com.

I keep seeing people layering two coats. Is this an emerging trend, or are people just trying to stay warm? I've definitely gone out and about with two coats because it's cold and leather jackets aren't warm. Thoughts?

Anyone want to buy me a birthday present?


Helmut Lang on sale at Gilt.com for $428. They have some beautiful items, but I told myself I would only get a button-down shirt if they had it, and they didn't. See there? Will power.

Ok, color me obsessed!

I pretty much love all of the Elizabeth & James spring looks--have you seen the look book? I'm not crazy about the animal print, but there are definitely some pieces here that will one day be mine--or at least a similar H&M version will be mine. Click on the link above and flip through the whimsy at your leisure. You won't be sorry.

And the trench!

McQ for Target trench I didn't buy. At $80 it isn't bad, so I may go back for it. Can't tell from the photo, but the fabric is fabulous. Can't comment on the fit...yet...

McQ for Target Suit

McQ for Target available today on Target.com.

Here's the suit I bought:

Just because.

Camille lives my dream.



Author of Chilhood Flames and possibly the luckiest girl in the world meets fashion phenom Kate Lanphear.

I. die.

There's always an excuse for shoes.

Ok, I may have ordered these, too.

Happy Birthday to me!

Ok, nine days to go. But still, why not order a little present? Especially something I've been looking at for months.

Suddenly popping up everywhere.

I've been looking for a pair of flat oxfords. Surprisingly, there aren't a lot of choices. I can't get the beautiful gray ones that the girl at the Barneys Warehouse Sale in NYC had on. She said they were Dolce Vita, but I think I've missed them. Maybe I should buy a pair of Melissa shoes while they're in the front part of my mind. I feel like everytime I've searched for shoes in the last few days, Melissa shoes have popped up. I don't think I can say it better than the explanation on epauletshop.com.



From epauletshop.com:
Awesome closed-toe gladiator shoe! This Spring 2009 style is the rubber version of a leather style from Dame Westwood's 1982 A/W collection. It is the perfect transition shoe for winter to spring - looks so chic with tights in the winter and just adorable once we start peelin' off the layers! Three adjustable straps at the ankle in "can't-go-wrong" black.

As with all Melissa shoes, they're crafted in Brazil of natural and sustainable rubber. They are extremely comfortable, mold to your feet after just a few wears, are totally waterproof, and can be cleaned in a sink with good 'ol soap and
water. Melissa shoes come in whole sizes. This style runs true to size.


It's show time! This old-school boy-style wingtip has been tweaked by Alexandre Herchcovitch into a black and white spectator shoe. Great with jeans and all kinds of good with a knee length skirt.
