It'd take some effort, but you could winterize this. Or just hold off and wear it all summer.


In the on-sale-but-barely category:

The Aspen bag is gorgeous, and it was originally $880, but you can also...

High Rollin' On Hump Day (Translation: Expensive Stuff)

All of the following items have the following in common:

1.) They're gorgeous.
2.) I want them all.
3a.) They're all $169 and up.
3b.) In my world, things $169 and up qualify as "expensive."

Let's take a looksee, shall we? In declining order of dearness, meaning the closer you get to the bottom, the greater your chances become of being able to afford stuff (if you're me).

($895, Anya Hindmarch, Vivre.com)

DEFINITELY not a plastic bag.

($390, Celestina, Vivre.com)

Beautiful, timeless, worth doing some "creative refinancing" on the monthly budget for... almost maybe.

($385, Jill Stuart, Shopbop.com)

So sweet, and more subdued than your typical red-and-black cherries fare.

($365, MZ Wallace)

Gorgeous everyday bag. Love it in orange too.

($363, Alexis, ActiveEndeavors.com)

And you, faux croc ombre envelope clutch -- I covet you most of all.

($216, Maria Bonita Extra, ActiveEndeavors.com)
Possibly the greatest ballet flats/ skimmers/ whatever ever.

($169, Prairie New York, CoutureCandy.com)

I'm starting to feel a bit "meh" bout jeweled embellishments at this point (but not 100%), though this is supes cutes. But don't click the "indigo" version if you're easily offended!

Little Binges, Big Bucks

Just a few I-wants for your COB Tuesday:

($435, Crispin and Basilio, Blaec.com)
Schoolgirl-sophisticated yet sexy.




($380, Tibi, Net-a-porter.com)
Check out the other images: this is even more gorgeous tied in the back.


($185, Maria Bonita Extra, Shoplanguage.com)
I kinda like this, but I also kinda want this chick to brush her hair. Agyness Deyn she ain't.


($95, Corey Lynn Calter, Otteny.com)
An adorable piece for summer for summer from my perennial favorite, Corey Lynn Calter ... but again, let's get this hot weather thing over with, kay?



($151, Dagg And Stacey, Paper-Doll.com)
Cute, but maybe not so much in person??



(Apprx $171 USD, TopShop.com)
Cool, but I could make this. Cough cough. Sorry... something in my throat.

Birthday Binge! Part I

Kay, so Tuesday was my birthday, y'all! And no, I'm not yet 30. So, here's just the beginning of my birthday binge, which is unfortunately just a fantasy binge.

Today's binge is SHOES:

($275, Goka, Pieces)
Snakeskin? Stunning.



($403, Fendi, Neiman Marcus)
Definitely willing to break the ankle strap rule for these. Wood + Lucite = shoe"gasm." And check out the heel detailing:
Gahflkdajfl;dksjafl;!!!


($855, Louis Vuitton, eLuxury)
Both the heel and the price are a wee bit steep, and true, they're a bit Beyonce, but they're beauts nonetheless.


($210, Dolce Vita, Zappos)
Maybe a bit Mary J. Blige, but also awesome and a steal.



($98, Zinc, Zappos)
Oddly appealing. Very Tapestry-era Carole King. Sorta almost makes me wanna wear a turtleneck in a weird way.


($189, Nike, Pickyourshoes.com)
Satisfies my inner Pharrell.


($63, Maria Bonita Extra, Shopbop)
Now that I'm getting "older," I can justify wearing wacky shit like orange patent flats!


($445, Brian Atwood, Neiman Marcus)
... And slutty heels in Grandma colors! Yay! Aging rules!
