Plaid + Topshop-Induced Bibagasm Redux Remixed

A few more items to add before the freakin' weekend...

Per my TopShop.com Archive post:
($550, Biba, Neiman Marcus)
This very vintage-looking Biba bag is blowing my brain.


(Apprx $8 USD, Biba, eBay)
I lurrrrrve this pin, but paying over $3 for a pin would be a problem for me. Unless of course, I were drunk and on vacation.


(Apprx $93 USD, Biba, eBay)
As much awesome-potential as this vintage Biba dress may possess, it sorta skeeves me out that so far five people have bid on a navy blue dress with a dubious Lewinskian stain on it.


($220, Madison Marcus, Basicboutique.com)
And, per my plaid post, this jumper is beyond adorbs.

Top Shopgasm!

Oh bloody hell. Topshop.com just launched its Archive online -- amazing one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. The best ones, according to me:


(Apprx $507 USD, Lee Bender, TopShop.com)
Amazing and gorgeous print.


($365, Lee Bender for Bus Stop, Topshop.com)
Also amazing, but more akin to something you might find in your local (read: NOT NYC) thrift store.


(Approx $507 USD, Lee Bender, Topshop.com)
Good luck finding this outstanding (yet offensive! -- bonus!) dress at your local thrift store.

More vintage-lookin' dresses:
($240, Castle Starr, YLLI)
Stunning. Want.

($407, Robert Rodriguez, Nordstrom)

This has a gorgeous 1960s, June Carter Cash feel to it.


($193, Cindy Lee, RevolveClothing.com)
Also a great '60s-vibe.


($109, What Comes Around Goes Around, YLLI)
I. Have. No. Words...


($184, Tibi, Net-a-Porter)
I hollaed at this dress last week...


($24.50, Wet Seal)
... And Wet Seal hollaed back! Sweeet!


Finally...
($20, Cheap Monday, Mick Margo via Refinery29)
Um, hi. Cheap Monday jeans for $20! More like Cheap Thursday! I'm off to get a pair!

More Cute Stuff! Some Affordable, Others Not

Okay. Here's some rad, ruling stuff, y'all.


($182, Sunner, ActiveEndeavors.com)
Super cute dress, and it looks like it'd be super flattering on all body types, but the price doesn't flatter me. Fortunately this looks like JUST the type of thing we can expect Urban Outfitters and/or Old Navy to knock off shortly! Here's hopin'!


($158, BCBG, Bloomingdale's)
This is perf for those weddings and events in the in-between season of Sprummer -- not quite spring, not quite summer, knowhudimean?


($355, Diane von Furstenberg, Bloomie's)
OOoooh pretty, but eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek espensy! Super elegant and timeless though.


(Apprx $273 USD, Diane Von Furstenberg, Browns)
More DVF! I'd definitely sooner dole out nearly three BJs (Ew! Benjamins, you freak!) for this beauty as opposed to the black number. The dark colors reminds me of London, when it gets dark super early and rains the whole time, but you're drunk by 6PM because that's how it rolls. Also, brown and chili pepper are TOTES in for F/W '07, k? Also, while we're talking about DVF, check out the rest of her Fall line. Beauts!

Next...

($19.99, Target)
Yay! Cute and affordable! Viva la 'Jay!


($39.99, Rafe for Target)
Speaking of Targs... should I get this bag? Pro: It's orange. Con: It's canvas (soils easily) and snaps and doesn't zipper (safety first, ladies!)


($7, Sears, VintageAmore.com)
Yay! Another thing that's affordable! Except that ho totes needs to pick up an iron. Eeek! But apres, you could totes look like the cutest little all-growed-up L'il Orphan Annie.


($49.95, no apparent brand, Chinatowner.com)
If you're into the military look and/or My Chemical Romance, this jacket might make the maybe list. Maybe you could buy it and save it in case the "he's-in-the-army-now" look comes back again soon, as I'm sure it will since it's a close cousin to the nautical look. But this site is most shady.


($101, Michael Kors, Zoe)
Do you love these Michael Kors boots, or do you hate 'em? Maybe yes? Maybe no? Maybe I just like 'em because they're on sale. But they're sorta fun.


($35, prolly Wild Pair, Back-in-Style.com)
Anyone who's ever attended a party I've thrown knows that these Dolly Parton pumps are totes something I'd probably answer the door wearing. (Yay, me!)


($128.95, Steve Madden, Amazon.com)
Speaking of Dolly Parton and shoes that I'd def wear...


($15.95, SierraTradingPost.com)
Is it wrong that I think this could actually be cute if you took it up to the knee? Not with the Dolly pumps, but still? Cute?

Think Pink

Okay. Valentine's stuff, Part II, y'all.


($17.99, Qupid, CutesyShoes.com)
Totes trashy equals totes fun!


($15, Longoriagirls.etsy.com)
Are crows the new owls?


(Apprx $74 USD, Jill Green, Rockett St. George)
Okay, I can't really tell if this is even red. It strikes me as more of a red-orange, if not auburn, but whatever. It's my blog, and this is a cool clutch.


($12, FredFlare.com)
A fun new twist on the BFF classic.


($36, FredFlare.com)
I kinda think I might buy this.


($129.60, Sweetees, QueenBeeGirls.com)
I love this dress. Perfect style, perfect color. Hooray!


($28, Pony Attack, MyMy.us)
Man oh man. First of all, I love fun names AND I love ponies, so this top had me at "Pony." AND "Brand New Key" is one of my fave songs. So, as much as I've been trying to (and basically succeeding) get out of the cutesy t-shirt habit, I discovered this insanely adorable top, and it sent me on a serious backslide. Oh well. It should be arriving at the doorstep of my apartment ANY day now. Yay!

Must-Have Monday

How cute is this vintage dress?

($17, Earth Angel, Vintageamore.com)
Someone buy it so I can live vicariously through you, okay?

Also, what's up with the lack of comments? I sorta feel like Christina Slater in the beginning of "Pump Up the Volume," before his show got really popular and kids started offering themselves. Holla at a Jew, k?


Talk hard!

Cute Coats + More Darling Dresses, Dude

Alliteration is kicking my ass these days, nomesayin? Anyway, here are some totally presh dresses and great coats and jackets.


($262.50, Catherine Malandrino, Shopbop.com)
This Catherine Malandrino stars dress is blowing my mind. I freaking love it. And it looked better on Carmen Electra, believe it or not, with all her curves and what not. Not loving it with the black hose, but whatevs. I would rock it and rock it right. They've also got it here, but HELLO! I just saved you over $100 bucks.


($88, Catherine Malandrino, Revolveclothing.com)
I also LOVE this Catherine Malandrino dress, but it's solllld out. Lame. See if you can find it elsewhere, though. I would, but I'm busy.


($47.20, Beau Bois, Shopblushboutique.com)
This gorgeous '20s dress is not only beautiful, but that price is possibly even more gorgeous. A warning: these type of dresses often look better on Mischa Barton bodies. I learned that the hard way. But you don't have to take my word for it.


($128.70 USD, French Connection, asos.com)
I LOOOOVE this beauteous butterfly dress, and due to my recent conversion to the brown side (um, ew. That sounded really bad), I even love this version probably even more than the white one.


($76.99, To the Max by BCBG, okto.com)
I'm not going to lie: this site freaks me out a little bit, but I love this coat, and it was on Overstock, but it sold out. Anyway, I like the British-esque buttoned-up-yness. Very Sherlock Holmes-like.


($74.99, Via Spiga, okto.com)
This looks warm and snuggly but not too super puffy. But again, what's up with this site? Ok to WHAT? Also, they have other sizes but they do that stupid thing where they list them separately. Boo.

Finally, much to my dismay, I can't grab this photo. Boo again. Anyway, check out this rad vintage grey jacket with fur trim. It's on the new Goodwill site and there's only two days left as of now.

No, I'm not all about fur, but look, it died A LONG time ago, okay? And the jacket is OLD. No one's going to go out and shoot another rabbit just because you bought this, ok? Well, ok, more rabbits are probably going to die, but it won't be your fault.

More about this site: it's the new Goodwill (as in the thrift store) auction site. It's sorta like eBay but the only sellers are Goodwills throughout the U.S. But you bid like eBay. I think it's a great idea -- more money going to charity. And for vintage lovers like myself in New York, where "thrift" t-shirts start at like $50, I'm like YAY! More access to vintage.

Here's some more sweet stuff I found:
+ Dooney & Burke bag
+ Cowboy boots, size 7
+ Etra navy blue leather vintage purse
+ Red patent leather (VERY in for spring!) "Miss America" purse
+ Awesome fuck-me red vintage heels and matching bag
+ Hot fuck-me black vintage bow slide heels
+ Rad vintage purple rhinestone necklace
+ Amazing off-white leather vintage boots
+ Sweet blue vintage cowboy boots
+ Vintage Persian lamb jacket with mink collar -- again, sorry
+ Insanely rad size 6.5 vintage brocade heels
+ Vintage black snakeskin bag


Wow. Divulging that much up-for-grabs vintage awesomeness is basically a total shopping mitzvah. Now pay it forward, hos!
