BCBGIRLS Painted Cork Wedge


Ray-Ban Wayfarer in Yellow... because three pairs of Ray-Bans isn't enough...


See by Chloé Cutout leather bag

Louis Vuitton x Stephen Sprouse

I am currently "saving" for travel... so if 100 of my closest/nicest friends could donate about $13+ each to me so I could get a bag from the LV x Stephen Sprouse line, I would greatly appreciate it.

Princess/Castle.

Between finishing my college education, celebrating my birthday (which my friends made absolutely AMAZING), preparing for the holidays AND my trip to Germany/Prague (I leave Christmas night), I have definitely neglected my blog and getting excited about all of the beautiful things I love in it! But, in a quick update, besides many of the things I was DYING for for my birthday and Christmas, I have had a few lovely surprises in the last 24 hours...

Couldn't find a picture online (my lovely sidekick picture obviously is not good enough) but I got these AMAZING nude open-toed Burberry pumps, originally $800, for $89!!!! No, not a typo. $89!


FINALLY


I realize this picture is barely visible but I am too tired/lazy to look for anything better...
See by Chloe Day Tripper Clutch with Strap in Red Patent as a total surprise from myyy Melissa!

While most probably think the 'Princess' necklace that I share with my cat is a ~funny joke~, the rarely spoken about German side of my family is from the royal line in Bavaria and in a little more than a week I will be visiting the very famous castle built by one of my crazy ancestors... Neuschwanstein, the castle that inspired the Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella Castles in Disneyland and Disneyworld. This is one of the things that I am most excited about seeing in Germany!


I most likely will not have any free time between now and leaving for Berlin in just over 40 hours. For those curious about my itinerary for the next couple of weeks... Berlin December 26-29, Prague December 29-31, Munich December 31-January 3, Frankfurt January 3-5, HOME January 5. Send me your address if you would like a postcard! Happy holidays to everyone, have a safe and healthy New Year! No wastin' time in 2009! Auf Wiedersehen.

Tis the Season

Somehow online Christmas shopping for others always turns into buying presents for myself? Oh well, I had been looking for a nice carry-all handbag for my trip to Europe anyway!


Botkier Ziggy Large Satchel in Smoke

PS: thanks Colleen for getting saving me some buxxx!
PPS: have I mentioned how much I love Gilt Group?

SBC

Day Tripper Medium Shoulder Bag in Cherry, $695


Crayon Print Dress, $595


Leather vest, $795


Zebra top, Original: $350, Sale: $105 (hmmmm....)

Not a bad hangover

What happens when you are out drinking in Las Vegas until 7am, wake up at noon only to drink more, and then go into the Caesar's Forums:


Marc Jacobs "Cecilia" Satchel in Purple
miiiine mine mine!

Lisa Frank?

SO glad Ashley introduced me to this fantastic fashion blog, Bryanboy.com! This guy is so fabulous that Marc Jacobs personally sent him the BB bag straight off of the Fall/Winter 2008 collection runway. JEAAAALOUS! Anyway, on this blog there is a "sneak peek" at the totally 90s influenced Gucci Spring/Summer 2009 menswear runway:


I think it is SO FUN! Really loving it.

Bryanboy also has the newest Marc by Marc Jacobs ads up, including this one I have been obsessing over in the newest issue of Vogue (with Nicole Kidman on the cover):

I really adore the bag (which is one of my current favorite colors) and the jacket is also amazing.

Also looooving this new Marc by Marc Jacobs 'Twinsie Sweater':

It looks the same in the back as the front, and I think it gives such a funky twist to a wardrobe staple.

Oh, and for everyone that does not know, BCBGMAXAZRIA has an incredible sale going where so many great things are 30-70% off! Today I got the cute sandals (below) that were originally $200 for $60! Heyyyy!



Also... the wonderful salesgirl at BCBGMAXAZRIA gave me a sneak peak at the pre-fall footwear that is not quite out yet and seriously it is TO DIE FOR. There is this perfect pair of maroon heeled booties with patent and gold detailing and AGH, I am going to need to go back there every single day until they are finally onsale!

Obsesssssion

Currently loooooving/wanting:


Yves Saint Laurent Y-Mail Black Patent Coin Purse... since my wallet NEVER fits in my clutches.


Betsey Johnson Feather Earrings


ASOS Double Bar Mary Jane Shoe


Betsey Johnson Large Eagle Bracelet


Dolan Side Button Dress in Blue


Lotus Patent Peep Toe Shoe With Ankle Band


Betsey Johnson Large Feather Pendant


Jennifer Behr Victorian Crystal and Silk Satin Headwrap. However even I would not even try to justify $162 on a hair accessory.


French Connection Wizard Cotton Dress


MICHAEL Michael Kors Berkley T-Strap. 4" heels = always, black patent t-straps = of course, zipper detailing = love. I would have gotten them yesterday in AC but they did not have my size and my sales associates should know by now that I need a new pair of shoes every time I go in there. Can one person have too many pairs of shoes? I am worried I may be meeting my quota.

Currently NEEDING:


Yves Saint Laurent Downtown Tote. I am not sure what color, but I am 100% POSITIVE that I muuuust have this bag!

Oh haaaay

CURRENTLY drooooooling over Prada's fall line!


Nappa A Hobo, $2,120.00
This may just be the most perfect handbag I have ever seen in my LIFE. Seriously, I need it.


Suede Shoe Booties, $620
These actually look really similar to vintage shoes I got about two years ago, however mine are just black. I am obsessed with the block coloring and suede ankle boots are a favorite of mine.

Louis Vuitton + Murakami

Finally, after being released to select Louis Vuitton stores June 15 (they had previously only been at the Murakami exhibit at the Brooklyn museum), some good photos of the new Murakami with Louis Vuitton line have been put on the internet. Prior to this I had only seen one photo in a magazine and it wasn't a very good one... I didn't think that I liked the line and now that I have seen a better picture -- I definitely do not like it (however, I do like it better than the previous Murakami/LV). To me, Louis Vuitton is the epitome of classical, timeless fashion... and these basically look like someone took a Dickies bag and screen printed little LV's all of it. Cannot ~wait~ to see the knock-offs of these all over the place (please note the obvious sarcasm).
