spring flingz

Life is SA-WEEEET right now, bloggybffs!
My laptop is back and as good as ancient, the weather is staying around 68 degrees (tights optional, my favorite temp) and I have a little bit of good ol' fashioned LEGAL TENDER to spend!!!

I have been starved for a good ol' SHOP.
A few of my new favorite things!

A few things old, a few things new, a few things gifted, a couple things blue? Some new sunglasses, stripey socks, a backpack, a dope necklace, new oxfords and a knuckledusterbuster ring, and a couple of silky dresses.

I bought a Fjallraven Kanken backpack at the Opening Ceremony shop at the Ace (I like it better than the regs OC store), 50% for fashion and 50% because I am getting an unbecoming GANGSTA LEAN from carrying my laptop around in a shoulder bag.

The Wonder Woman cassette necklace is an AMAZING gift from Sunshine (whose entire increeeeedible package to me is soon getting a post of it's own)

One-of-a-kind embroidered oxfords from Osborn (I visited their studio in Brooklyn, post coming soon!!). How amazing are these shoes!!! Since I bought my first pair of Osborn's at the Bk Flea (almost exactly 1 year ago today!) I have been dyingggggg for another pair. There are a sample that they agreed to sell me. I adore them..that's an understatement.

Karen Walker perfect circle "Rover" sunglasses. Dreams realized, in sunglass form. I finally have Karen Walkers and I can add to my perfect circle lens collection.

The green satin and velvet 60s (?) headband was another part of my best-package-ever-received from Sunshine. I like to wear it more like a CROWN than a headband.

The stripeysocks are by Happy Socks...also from the OC store at the Ace Hotel aka my home away from home.

Not yet pictured, but part of the Spring haul:
An incredible silk/jersey dress by under.lignewww.underligne.com that was a gift from the adorable and incredible Doo-Ri and a couple of great gifted dresses from the amazing Lauren Moffat (you can see the skirt of one in the top pic)...coming soon!

My last bit of spring shopping business happened today at No. 6..I put in a custom order for a clog situtation...I am pretty sure no one else will have this combination. 15 business days is gonna feel like an eternity!!!

So good to be back on the internets scene, brahs.
I have about 10 new posts I want to put up so GET READY...ol??

targarte

SO yesterday my sister picked me up in the family car and we hit up the dirt Jerz for some Christmas shopping/Gaga car singalongs/mall mayhem.

My only mission was to find a Target that would still have some meager shreds of Rodarte chillin on their racks. Leave it to Tbonz the supershopper to guide us to HACKENSACK where treasures were still to be found!

We tried on a million things, and I wanted most of them but $$$ is not so flowin and so I left with only what I NEEDED TO SURVIVE.

The baby blue Swiss-dot dress, mustard lace skirt, and BOTH PAIRS OF THE KNEE SOCKS! Which I haven't seen anyone else with besides Tav when she debuted them at fashion week. 

Mustard lace skirt with nude tulle overlay & mustard perforated knee highs / Rodarte x Target

Self-altered chopcropped grey sweatshirt / Duane Reade

Brown perfect ankle boots / Prada

HEY GUESS WHAT MY FIRST INITIAL IS "E" necklace / Topshop (gift from my sis)

I. love. this. skirt. I love it! It is so pretty and strange. I don't think I own anything this prettygirlyfilmy, besides my mettalic Philip Lim Skirt from last year? I only want to wear it with my really old grey  tee that is 80% holes or this giant grey sweatshirt I cropped up. Or grey tights. Or grey knee socks. Just lots of old grey.

PS, how bonx is that necklace?!?! Totally flavin' it.

Mustard lace skirt with nude tulle overlay & mustard perforated knee highs / Rodarte x Target

Maroon suede & white wooden platforms / Pierre Hardy x Gap

Giant mess, blogger's own

Baby blue lace & tulle & Swiss dot dress / Rodarte x Target

Favorite red red red lipstick / Bombay by Le Métier de Beauté

A collection based on Rosemary's Baby that is "Junior's" is not exactly GIANT RACK FRIENDLY, just FYI-SLERS. The mesh top of this dress makes this a somewhat sexxxay situation, but that's not so bad sometimes, right?

My dress matches my wall

 Who's chapstick is that? WHOOPSY

I am gonna wear this on Christmas, cold weather be damned. I'm not really going outside, so who cares? Gonna need a cardigan though, SENSUAL CLEAVAGE doesn't really fly with Mom and Dad for family affairs.

Nude squareholed up kneesocks / Rodarte x Target

Gold metallic ankle boots / vintage

The OTHER kneesocks. Nude with all these little rectangular holes. Dope. I am so psyched on these, they were honestly the items I wanted most (besides the lace cardigans, which were long gone by the time I got to Target)

Other things I loved but had to leave behind were the floral raincoat, the cropped sherpa-y jacket (SO GOOD, SO SO GOOD! but at 50 dollars...ehhh I dont know. Kinda regretting leaving it but oh well), the navy lace skirt.

There was ONE leopard lace dress left and it fit my sister like it was made for her. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, if you can find it. You can't get dressed alone though..someone has to help ya with those back bows (The more you know).

Balls. Still thinkin bout the sherpa jacket. 

But you know what? FASHION GLUTTONY is not a good look and I am really really happy with what I got.

Mo' betta' pics soon, I am still not into my blogga photo groove in this new apartment...

sequinsanity

as i am not really looking to spend so much cash these days, i tried to be tough on myself yesterday whilst among all the second hand treasures that long island had to offer.

apparently, being tough yields neil diamond records & multiple sequined items.



jacket.



polky-dotz (gonnna be so good under my overalls dress, and maybe with gaga hairbow? for when i go to...mars? gay bars? the key foods? all of the above?)



cummerbund (and gaudy rhinestone belt i couldn't resist)



crazytown



obsessed with this shirt already.
SUMMER OF SEQUINZ, COMMENCE.



monday face, hiiiiii.

no room left at the inn, the inn being my bedroom, specifically my closet(s)

i am not shopping. like, at all.
did you hear me? NOT. SHOPPING.
i swear.
but
if i WAS shopping, like, just for like, a MINUTE...
i would buy these things:


canvas mini anorak / laced cotton day blouse
from built by wendy.

but only if i was shopping.
which i'm not.
like..at all.

i swear.

forget la crise

so yesterday i was so graciously invited to preview the new place to spend your rent money: topshop in soho.



i will admit, it was nice to browse before the general MAYHEM of today's big opening.
FOUR FLOORS of imported british finery.
crazytown.
the loverly kat came with and i got to see christene & piera which is alwayssss a pleasure. miss laia was there too, and i got to meet naomi from teen vogue who said she loves the blog! (hi naomi). yay

i basically made it my MISSION to stalk the emma cook boots and make them mine.
if you, dear readers, are going to brave the madness on broadway, you can find them ici:



bottom shelf of that wall there.
i found them,
i tried them,
i loved them,
i left them.

at 310 bones, i just couldn't make the plunge. they are fucking EPIC though.

the prices are a bit higher than i might shop on the regs BUT... the shoes were awesome, the TIGHTS were so so good, and there were a few lil things that i will wait for to go on sale...all in all kinda great.

gossip girl level spotting at the shopping event:
harvey weinstien (?)
J LO (giantest louboutins i have ever seen)
Julia restoin-roitfeld (so so so pretty. love)
uhh..olivia palermo (so so so very skinny)

i can't imagine going over there today, or this weekend for that matter.
if you are gonna do it:
i fear for your lives, my friends..godspeed and happy shoppingz.

5% pay cut be damned

more reasons to be a flat-chested waif...90% of what's to offer at welcomehunters:



these boots, THESE BOOTS! if they are SOLD OUT, why leave them on the site to TORTURE ME?
this daniel palillo dress is the scream mask as a garment. I WANT IT.



the necklace is a roided out rip of my girl angela's stuff, but epic nonetheless.
and this parka is for boys buuuuut WHO CARES, hand it over.

and for the record? THIS:



is considered unisex. love it.

summer is coming, apparently

i think i'm only marginally aware of who tracy feith is.
i think he is a HE and like some sort of hippie surfer? that makes pretty dresses for girls in soho?
is that right?

well he's doing a target collab and he gets the WL thumbs up because this dress, on the left?



is straight out of the salvation army in my dreams. very mrs roper.

that's a compliment.

ps, that's ALLIE from the CITY in my dress! she does model!

new threadz

poppet, one of my favorite stores in new york closed today..la crise continues. it's a serious serious bummer, everything in that little space gave me a thrill and made me want to be richer and cuter.

ho-lee shit dudes, a guy laroche leathuhhh jacket? SO not me!
but but...it looked so DOPESHOW i didn't wanna say no.



it's polka-dotted, different leather textures. sickness, sickness.
