tee hee

Remember that time I saw that Anthropologie dress and I was all like whoa that's crazy/cute?

Well I found it on the sale rack and it was still crazy/cute. And so I bought it and put it on myself and voila.

Sorry for the hiatus.

Normal programming to resume once inspiration hits.

Thinking about: What to wear to a courthouse wedding. Mom asked if she should start looking for a vintage Chanel suit. I said no, but...

Do you want to be my + 1?

Just received a fabulous email letting me know that I (and my lucky readers) can now pre-order from Isabella Oliver's 365 Autumn Winter collection. And if the exclusivity wasn't enough, you can also get 15% off. 

I have to admit, I didn't know much about Isabella Oliver's 365 collection. Good thing they included photos. Between my Wii Fit and the saving I've been doing, please let this be me this fall. Isabella Oliver's The Sexy Blazer $242.25 (in red and black). 

So if you like this blazer or the above Cape--an update on their Mac (pictured below, $360) that was featured in Harper's Bazaar--$330.65, I recommend you make your reservations now.

Can't wait until August? Neither can I! I may have to get this now! Cap Sleeve Jacket

$255.00

The Outnet

I haven't said much about Net-A-Porter's outlet site, The Outnet, but I've been finding myself perusing when I need a quick mental escape. Usually the prices are still high, but if you're interested in some platform sandals, these may fit the bill.

Built like a refrigerator

Since seeing The Powder and the Glory, I can't help comparing myself to how Helena Rubinstein's phsyique was once described--built like a refrigerator. Amber tried to deny it when I was comparing myself to her refrigerator, but I definitely see the resemblance. Which is why I will not be buying this dress from ShopBop.

If it makes a model look that square, I fear what it'd do on my body.

The question of recession chic, or I'm going to Walmart tomorrow.

I think as a treat to myself IF I drop off my laundry--reason for an absurd lack of outfit posts (wearing whatever I can find that's clean)--I may have to go to Walmart tomorrow. Yes. Walmart.

I'm kind of obsessed with Norma Kamali. I was thinking about getting a couple more T-shirts, as that's all I wear anymore (with slim black trousers and boots) when I read a great article about Kamali in the NY Times. And, this T-shirt is $8.

If you buy a pair of shoes that make your feet bleed--why not by them in another color?

Once these are broken in, awesomeness will ensue.

Remember Johanna wearing this dress on Stylista? It can now be yours for $168 at Gilt. They also have loads of other Marc by Marc Jacobs--definitely worth a look. 

I'm drawn to the Delman shoe sale, however. Wimbley on sale for $108. Mona on sale for $82 in 6 colors!

They. are. stunning.

I get a secret joy from Olsen's Anonymous, but I had to share this. Ashley is my favorite.

Oh HAI!

It's kind of funny that I claim everything is in style, and yet, lately I've been paralyzed with insecurity about what I wear. Ok, not really that extreme, but there are something about these boots that I love, but I can't figure out how to wear them. Tweeted with Camille about it, but there's definitely a lack of confidence on my end despite her reassurance and good ideas. Maybe that explains the lack of posts lately.

Died and gone to heaven.
