handbag perfection


 handbag perfection

 Ok, that's a bit of an overstatement. I'd really like happiness, world peace, an end to world hunger... But this is what Christmas would look like if I won the lottery tomorrow (a.k.a the $8,473 that these four lovelies total up to be). When I think of my four dream bags, these are always the ones I come back to - I mean, the Chanel quilted bag I've wanted my entire life, and may have seriously considered emptying my savings account in order to buy it multiple times... The PS1 and Alexa were added at later dates, most recently joined by Reed Krakoff's Boxer bag - isn't it the prettiest thing you've ever seen? The mixing of neutrals, the clean and classic shape, the belt detail... pretty much everything you could want in a handbag

Why am I telling you this now? Well, I just wanted to say hi, check in and say that yes, I am still a fashion blogger, albeit one currently in finals. And while I am a horrible student and don't study as much as I should, finals still means days where the only activity is going to the library - and it's really hard to dress up knowing that! (Also, everyone else actually has work - weird, right? - and are therefore harder to pin down for forced picture-taking) But good news, a week from Tuesday I'll be headed home for an entire three weeks! I'm dying inside a bit each day seeing all the statuses of friends already on their way home, and soon my own friends from school, who have less obnoxious finals schedules, will be doing the same... But it's only 9 more days, and I have faith in myself that I can do it!

...Sorry, apparently I complain a lot. That's all. Have a lovely week!

i hate shopping bans

Seriously, what is this "I can't buy any new clothing" thing? What, just because I have a limited income and extremely limited space in my closet doesn't mean that I can't have new things, right? Right? Sigh. I was just browsing around and ended up on yoox.com, a very fun shopping website that I don't look at enough (because clearly I need more temptation), when I found these perfect specimens of the button-down:



These beauties are from French Connection and Adam by Adam Lippes, respectively. I know, all buttoned up like this they look a bit odd. But imagine them with the top button or two undone, with some skinny jeans and flats? And did I mention they were on sale? Yep, to buy them both it would only be $43!? $18 + $25 = $43, yes, I'm an Econ major and can do simple math. Oh, and it's hard to tell in the photo, but the second one is actually a really pale shade of purple - ummm, get in my closet, like now please?

And for those of you that have been noticing and appreciating my use of color lately, I bring you:
This one is by GF Ferre, and $45 (but orginally $170) - so, still pretty awesome. And the best part?


Look. I mean, just appreciate this back detail. It looks like an envelope! This might be the cutest thing I've ever seen...

So what do you guys think? Would these be worthy additions to my closet? Worth breaking the shopping ban? And what are you craving right now?

Oh and p.s., just to make you smile...


Yes, these shoes are actually amazing.
