I haven't written anything in a while. I might as well go put down my new splurges.
I recently found two new (well not new) brands that I like very much. Elizabeth & James (the pet project of the Olsen twins) and Opening Ceremony (a favorite of M.I.A., who has been voted one of Vogue's top ten best dressed!)
I spent too much money recently, ironically buying things at 40-70% off.
Favorite Purchases of the last two months:
1. Elizabeth and James Corset Pencil Skirt
I was always so and so with the way the Olsen girls dressed (MK>A). But I love their designs because they flatter more of the shorter girls and also the line is very menswear with iono, some hint of bohemian chic. I'm going to love this skirt (with a zipper up in front), but I love the tailoring more, with curves on the side to hopefully boost my non existant curves. The other stuff from Elizabeth and James needs a little bit more work on the tailoring and focus, but I'm pretty much in love with the skirt.
2. Opening Ceremony Patent Oxfords
I've been yearning for a pair of oxfords for a while (since last fall?) and I thought these were gorgeous when I saw them at eluxury for almost 70% off (since eluxury, owned by the people who own Louis Vuiton, is closing probably around June, one might want to visit because they have a lot of additional off sales! It's a wonderful website, but it's going to change somewhat to the likes of style.com according to LVHM). I love the details on them. There's also a pair of cut-out suede oxfords for a lot cheaper (and they're realllly cool), but suede and Washington do not mix well.
3. Development Vest
I really just like the cut of this vest.
4. Rag & Bone Big Collar Silk Shirt
I love Rag & Bone and I finally own something from them! I plan to wear it with a pencil skirt or really skinny ankle jeans.
Unfortunately, I have been scouting eBay for some cheap UrbanOutfitters/H&M/Free People tunics/dresses for Spring. All my stuff is Fall stuff. I need to get some romantic blouses/florals/lace. Blah.
Signed up for NYU housing. :)))) Goodbye to 12000 a year. :(((((
Unfortunately, it seems a lot of people from my high school will be joining me to go to NYU.
This post seems to be all over the place and I don't have pictures yet. I'll put them up later.
Things I will never have and will always have not:
Gucci New Jackie Large Hobo in Black/Coral ($3100)
OOO I might get a pair of Louboutins pretty soon!!!
