things are looking up

there is much reason to be joyful on this gorgeous day: i am the proud mother of these glorious boots. marc by marc f/w 08 09. so incredible. they are like the lovechild of comme des garcons and ann demeulemeester. i have been wearing them nonstop since they arrived on my doorstep yesterday. i never knew what love was, until these boots. sorry, chloe platforms. suckers.




after shelling out an ungodly amount of money on these babies, i swore myself i would kick cold turkey, at least for a couple of months. of course, never the poster child for fidelity, my eye tends to wander.

like take these amazing, glam rock lightning bolt heeled miu miu pumps. definitely a markdown purchase but ahh anything with a hint of michael monroe and i am a believer.

vivienne westwood pirate boots in black. i was thinking maybe the brown. but regardless, definitely a timeless wardrobe staple. westwood is a piece of history. i would like a piece of that pie.

vintage majorette costume. i can't put my finger on it, but something about this hot little number just drives me wild. i think it would be so adorable for a night on the town, with some black opaque tights and black platforms, and of course, a sunny disposition on life. ahh!

vintage norma kamali dolman sleeve dress. i love the red and black together and i love the way she drapes the jersey in all her pieces. ahhh must have!

h&m pleather skirt. layered accordingly, this could be the skirt i wear more than any other skirt i have ever owned, knocking the busted silver sequin skirt out of its place.

finally, as a replacement for my beautiful leather jackets that were so viciously stolen from me one doomed night several weeks ago, this christopher kane for topshop leather jacket. looks like mike and chris but with more detailing, and hundreds cheaper. i also find that once you let the hysteria die down on designer collaboration collections, you can score the pieces for super cheap. only $200 for this gem!

in life news, i hope this Stylist tv thing pulls through and i get to be on the show for sure. and i hope i get lots of free clothes and that i don't look like a kook on television! and that i win! i want to fulfill my life dream of wearing all black, and like j peterman black slacks, smoking capris, telling people they look fabulous and be hideously overpaid for it. a girl can always dream!

in more life news, my boyfriend comes home from Virginia after what feels like a lifetime. i can't wait to see him!
