sick

so this year, i expanded my vocabulary (yes!) but failed to curb my shopping habit (no!). i guess one out of two new years resolutions is decent. this coming may, me julia and gloria are going to london, spain, and most importantly, paris. every purchase since the hatching of our crackpot idea has me thinking "hmm, how will this look while i'm strolling down the champs elysees?" unfortunately for my bank account, more times than not, the answer is FABULOUS!

recent proof


spring 08 ysl sleeveless jersey blazer. with my high waisted leather skinny pants from topshop. channeling kate lanphear. mmmmm


speaking of kate, she is the sole reason i had to own these stella wedges. the picture of her weaing the black bootie versions haunted my days and nights. creepy.


my hats off to topshop for making the best bootlegs in the biz (take notes, ioffer with your nasty fake louboutins. eew) thanks for giving me a lucious piece of miu miu spring '08 without the $1250, calorie-laden price tag.


i promise, i will kick the topshop habit soon. high waisted, black denim hotpants with gold studs all over the sides. one would think i would look like a mexican or mayan warrior in this ensemble, but that one would think wrong. i look like the malnourished love child of carine and david lee roth.



and i've currently got my sights set on these bad boys


totally amazing sheer body con dress. kind of robert palmer video girl meets alexander wang's similar number.



i know i'm not gamine enough to pull off the jean seberg bullshit, but with this by malene birger top i might have to give it a go.




studded cross body leather bag from topshop, since my bat cross body bag so conveniently became a handheld clutch after both straps broke causing me to lo




so new wave romantic. it's like adam ant at a jazz club. just when you think it doesn't work, you're like, hey man, it totally makes sense.




there is nothing more i want from this world than to own some rodarte fall '08 deconstructed knits. unfortunately for me, nordstrom rack has like two seafoam green/sparkly cowl neck sleeveless jumpers for like $400 each. i think i'll pass and snatch up with homemade, seditionaries style jumper. aaannddd



some of the matching leggings too. my awesomeness would know no bounds.



i totally want these ysl boots from ebay too. i walk like a cave man, so may shoe choices are limited to wedges and boots. ok ok ok this boot in paris? insane!


i went to palm springs this weekend and had an amazing time. school starts next week (a little bit of my joy dies every time i think that), but it is my last semester!

2009 has the makings to be a very very good year!
