Comfy Cardis!

My cardigan and knit obsession continues, especially in goes-with-anything greys and blacks. Here are several cardis, sweaters and other knits I so deeply desire:

($150, Clue, Satineboutique.com)

But will I look as pouty and impossibly small-waisted if I buy this?

($306, Alexander McQueen, Shopbop.com)

I normally can't stand wearing clothes with brands plasted across them, but this isn't too obvious. Plus, graffiti = funs!

($228, Marc By Marc Jacobs, Shopbop.com)
This is so effin' cute. Subtle too. Deeeelightful!

($235, L.A.M.B., Shopbop.com)

Due to the placement of the knit straps, I'd prolly advise not wearing this is you're over a small B-cup, lest your boobs push the belts so far to the sides that they get swallowed up by your pits. Regardless, I sorta love the lederhosen vibe this cute little sweater gives off.

($63, Priorities, Bluefly)

A striped, zippy hoodie cardi is such a necessity that they even named it PRIORITIES!

($194, Nom*D, Refinery29.com)

One for the dudes! I'm sorta unsure how I feel about longer stuff on dudes (save for a nice 3/4-length coat, but I guess this is sorta similar.

($245, C&C California, Shopbop.com)

Can you make it through the winter without a dark cashmere cardigan? (Or a reasonable facsimile -- a reasonable facsimile being at least $150 less and probably NOT cashmere?) No. No you cannot.

($258, Juicy Couture, Nordstrom)

Love the dainty little ruffling -- usually I HATE ruffles, but this is just non-intrusive enough. And I love the heather grey version too.

($29, Target)

I realized most of the stuff I posted was well above the FB affordable standard, so here's one from Ol' Faithful, Targz.

Friday Footwear Binges!

SHOOOOOOOOOOEZ for Friday! Weeee!

($124, Dolce Vita, Shopintuition.com)

MORE perfect grey boots! SO tempting!

($34.99, Target)

Can't beat cute boots for 35 bones. Oh, Targze! You foul temptress, you!

($155, Asos.com)

Gorgeous blue hue. These would look super HAWT with grey jeans.

($99, Asos.com)

Silver and blue = sexy. These would rule with some black tights -- yay for the closed toe! Nothing more annoying than a perfectly cute pair of heels RUINED by the unnecessary open toe.

($99, Asos.com)

Love the heel, so I'll overlook the open-toed-ness.

($77, Asos.com)

... And here, the plastic heel excuses the open toe. Ugh. In general: open toe: SO overdone. Is that a conspiracy by the footwear industry -- make more open-toed shoes so women will be FORCED to BUY more shoes when they can't easily winterize? If it is, it's clearly working.

Loeffler Randall: Right On Target

The other day I done toldj'all about the Loeffler-Randall Target collabo. Now, some pix:

(via nitro:licious)

Not bad at all, right? That ballet flat looks like a great staple shoe.


More good shit from Target:

($29, Target)

I've seen these front-slash booties everywhere, including Payless. I'm not sure if I'm lovin' them for me personally, though they do seem like they'd go a long way (har) toward elongated the leggs of sho-tayze like myself. But regardless, I'm stoked Target's got 'em. They come in purple too, which is tres Prince.

($29, Isaac Mizrahi, Target)

I'm also into these, at least in theory. There's something fun about tortoiseshell, though I have no clue why.

($19, Target)

Again, while I wouldn't wear these, I love the idea of them, though I'd love 'em more without the unnecessary ruching. Kthanksbye!

Stuff I Bought/ Shit I Want

Here a few things I bought for extremely reasonable prices, and then some stuff I want but haven't bought. Yet.

BOUGHT

($14.99, Target.com)
Very simple but exactly what I'm looking for so I can look like I'm not in college anymore when I wear these in lieu of my black Chucks.

I also bought this Sonia Kashuk eyeshadow brush, recommended by a makeup artist. $9 is a beyond reasonable price for a good brush, which this is supposed to be.

Also, I found a Target.com promo code for 10%, expires 7/10/07. Here it be: TGTSTM58


Next...
($9.99, Alloy.com)
I got these. Hopefully they won't suck, but with the promo code I found, that gives you $1.95 shipping, even if they do, no big loss.
Promo code: AFREE, expires 6/30/07


($29, Delias.com)
I've been wanting these since late last year. Yay! Also, I thought I got free shipping, but alas, no. Oh wellz.


Now, stuff I DID NOT BUY:
($111, Tahari By ASL, Macys.com)
Really gorgeous color, and it'd make a great fall dress too.



($26, Mossimo, Target.com)
Really cute jeweled flats! I'm not going to be purchasing them, but it's nice to know they're out there. (For when I change my mind.)




(Apprx $55 USD, Topshop.com)
Super purdy. Damn you, Topshop!!

TONS Of Stuff I Want

MMMmmmkay, peeps. I've been obsessively HORDING stuff (well, at least links and photos) for y'all, and then I end up with 14 trillion things to show y'all but no time to tackle everything. So, here's just ONE batch of my billionsah awesome items.

DRESSES

($198, J.Crew)
Now I almost never -- actually I can literally say that I DON'T EVER shop at J. Crew -- I find most of their stuff boring and too "White People" (even though I'm white, and pretty damn pale at that, as if to drive that point home), but this dress is fucking awesome. The T.Lo male counterpart and I both heart lobsters -- eating them but mainly in their anthropomorphic states. This dress is neither, but I especially am fond of anything printed with lobsters. Kosher or not, I'd wear this in a heartbeat.



($90, Charlotte Ronson, Rokandlola.com)
I've come around and am now sorta okay with bubble dresses, especially when they're the color of bubble gum, like this one.




($198, B With G, Winknyc.com)
Totes out of season, but totes great. Very Mischa Barton when she's not dressed like a Busch Gardens ticket taker.



TOPS


($195, development, Factorypeople.com)
Perfect summer adorbsness.



($366, Viktor & Rolf, Net-a-porter.com)
So femme!



($76, Phbnyc.com)
Simple in a sorta Laura Ingalls way, but perfect for those 150 degrees in the shade August days. (Worst.)



($39, Collective Clothing, Smartbargains.com)
Fun colors, fun graphic print. Those look like blueberries = yay!



($20, Meetmark.com)
'Parently Mark (as in Avon's answer to the oughts) has clothing and accessories. And not bad ones at that. Who knew? (I guess I did.)



JEANS

($92, Radcliffe Denim, Shopbop.com)
I'm sorry, but I am NOT yet ready to give into the sailor-jeans-up-to-my-neck trend. I hope I never will (check back in a month or so -- I'm not above fashion hypocrisy). These are gorgeous.



($75, Opening Ceremony, Oogaboogastore.com)
Git yerself some Chloe Sevigny jeans for just $75 -- thought you gotta admit -- she's been looking A BIT less like a Bellevue escapee lately. Good for her. Though still, not good about sucking Vincent Gallo's dirty dick. Bad idea jeans right there.




SHOES


($39, Chinese Laundry, Lovemyshoes.com)
Perfect height right here. I love black, and the silver ones are even sorta cool in a Ziggy Stardust sorta way.



($29, Isaac Mizrachi, Target)
Very tempting. You can't take the Madonna out of the girl. At least not this girl, anyway.



($56, Zinc, Amazon)
I know they're cheezeball, but they're GIRAFFE!! WEEE! Giraffes are totes the new grey owls, y'all.



($98, Sam Edelman, Urban Outfitters)
Very cute, but not ultimately worth $100. By the time I finish typing this sentence, I'm sure at least 15 different knockoffs will have been created. Woo!


Oh wait...

($16, Gojane.com)
I love America.



($25, Abate, Payless)
Per my yellow shoes post. These are great "in theory," but I don't "do" platforms nor "ankle straps." "O"-"kay"??



($29, Punk Rose, Heelandsoleshoes.com)
I'm in the market for some black Vans or Vans-esque slides. These might be too skatery though.



($39, Rebels, Amazon)
Cute, but perhaps too young?



($14, Cherokee, Target)
Simple enough. These might haveta do.



($59, Rebels, Amazon)
Pink snakeskin is surprisingly cute!



($19, Gojane.com)
"Unexpectedly" cute!



($19, Qupid, Amazon)
Love the knotted detail. And the price. Woo cheap summer shoes!



($26, Gojane.com)
Sorta like the Pussycat Dolls -- so crappy that they're almost great.



($110, Sam Edelman, Urban Outfitters)
I've been admiring these for a while, but ...



($15, Gojane.com)
Holla at some knockoffs!



($7.99, Gojane.com)
At first I was hating on jellies, then I was indifferent, but these sorta converted me. Cute and comfy and cheap. And the grey is just innocuous enough. I'm sure I'll see some guy walking around Williamsburg in these soon enough though.




HANDBAGS

($645, Kooba, Kooba.com)
Sigh. The ultimate grey shopper. Sigh.



BOOTS

($19, Target)
Totes cute.



JEWELRY

(Apprx $9 USD, Switchrings.com)
These are so damn cute. You get four random designs you can switch in and out (hence the name). I love these:




Oh yeah -- get ready for a MAMMOTH jewelry post in the very very near future.




ROLLER SKATES

($128, Asos.com)
I'm not in the market for roller "boots" (tee! So cute) right now, but if I were, I'm glad I'd know where to find 'em.




MORTSES
A few of the monstrosities I found along the way...

($149, Charles David, Amazon)
Shudder.



($51, Rebel, Amazon)
Dude, seriously...



($64, Rebels, Amazon)
Seriously dude...



($58, Shellys London, Urban Outfitters)
Fuuuuuuuuuuck.



This guy just really freaked me out for some reason.



($2045, Dietlind Preiss, Unicahome.com)
Uhhhh...


Mkay, bye.
