List 1 for the New Year

The recession, along with NYU's 50,000+ tuition, has definitely slowed down my expenditures on clothes; however, that just means my list of wants grows exponentially vast. Hopefully, Barack Obama will not drag out the recession too long (like FDR did) so I can feel less guilty everytime I spend more than a hundred dollars on a piece of clothing. This blog is to list the things I want (but not a wish list as I can never find a person to fulfill them); it is for my record. I post 5 particular items at a time.

1. Louis Vuitton Damier Azur Keepall 55 with Strap/ Monogram Canvas Keepall 55 with Strap

$1270 at Eluxury.com

Since I'm attending NYU in the fall, I want a huge luggage bag. However at more than a thousand dollars, I might just get it at eBay from a MPRS at half the price.

2. Lanvin Flats

$550 at Barneys

I tried a pair and they are soo comfortable... I want an emerald green sort of color, or maybe just black. I'll buy a pair one day... :( But it's pretty ridiculous to spend 550 on a pair of flats...

3. Mike & Chris Anson Hoodie in Glacier White

$220 (once on revolveclothing.com)

I absolutely love this brand. The Anson hoodie was a fall season item so it's no longer in stores, but I always go on eBay to find if there are any on sale... I don't know how they make their fleece so warm yet so soft. I just hate all the abercrombie and american eagle hoodies that are everywhere (actually I don't see them that often anymore) and I'm beginning to think American Apparel hoodies are too commonplace (that's why I don't wear mine anymore). But Mike & Chris (celebrities loves the leather jackets, but who cares what celebrities wear) changes that ugly hoodie look and makes it something really cool and innovative. My two cents. Go google them up to learn more

4. Rag & Bone Calvary Coat

$330 at forwardforward.com

Rag & Bone is another one of my favorite brands, yet whereas I have 3 Mike & Chris hoodies, I don't have any Rag & Bone in my closet yet.... But I love the look and juxtaposition of menswear on a girl. In general, I just want a good elongated blazer, whereas I have too many cropped blazers.

5. Paige Preminum Demin Roxbury Petite in Dark Resin

$179 at Revolveclothing.com

Gah, I want these sooo bad despite the 9 pairs of designer jeans (soon to be 8 hopefully as I want to sell a pair) hanging in my closet. My 7FAM Mercer straights are giving out and I really want a dark pair of skinnys that have a really clean and simple look. Either this pair will do or a pair of Hudson Stellas (although I don't like Hudson or Rock & Republics). I really wanted a new pair of True Religion Billys but True Religion never comes up with a wash as dark...

Items I will never have and will always have not:

Christian Louboutin Miss Tack Pumps and Chloe Paddington Satchel
