my holds: let me show u them
at the store i work at, we are allowed three holds per store. this means that at any point in time, i have six items on hold. because i am so broke right now that im not allowing myself to go shopping, i end up "shopping" while working, thus i have an excellent collection of holds right now. let me show u them:
odyn jeans in the fyn straightleg cut, aubergine wash (not available online - sry guyz).
im not real into colored denim but this purple is totally grown up and is extremely soft as well. its muted enough to -almost- be as neutral as blue denim is.
WESC karolin 3/4 sleeve tunic.
mine is in shades of purple, and its for sure not something i would normally be into. its a little bit western, a little bit smock-y, but its a lot WESC, so i was sold immediately. also: in the next few months we are getting a shipment of WESC denim all the way up to a 32, which means after a year and a half, i will finally own a pair of WEs.
tulle poly-knit cap sleeve trapeze tee.
i love this top, but i hate that its the same fabric that bad grim reaper costumes are made out of. its affordable and fits great, so i am getting it for sure. the collar turns into a peter pan color at the nape with a keyhole opening. too cute.
free people kensington scoopneck tee.
i tried it on and my boss said, "if you dont get that, im going to punch you in the face." between that and the tiny button detailing at the cleave', i was sold again.
have you noticed how i am totally into purple recently? go figs.
i also have a pair of the new free people blueblack wash trouser jeans, a great pair of jeffrey campbell kitten heels (which are amazingly comfortable and reminiscent of a pair of biviel shoes), and a pair of blank denim straight leg in an overdyed wash, but the internet is not as on the ball as my store is, so i can't find pictures. how tragic!
so, future boyfriends of mine, anytime you are looking for a gift, just pick me up something from my holds, please and thanks.

project: leave vegas in ruins.
i think our vacation was a success.
this was our first day's haul. ...but we all know its whats inside the bag that counts!
anthropologie raincoat.
scoop nyc flats. ($15!)
marc jacobs pan am bag. also, ignore my closet, thanks!
the trip to vegas also left me lusting for more things that are a smidge out of my grasp, such as the juicy couture kate pants.
the hearts on the pocket are just my thing, you know? these also came in the most beautiful brown color, but now, of course, i cant find them online! if you can, dear reader, please pass them my way!

melikalikimaka!
rumor on the streets is that the holiday free people line is hawaiian themed.
memo to free people: are you serious right now? just when you were coming out with reliably cute merchandise, you are going to go ahead and hang yourself with a hawaiian holiday line. im sorry, but this is unacceptable. more unacceptable than only manufacturing your denim up to a 31, more unacceptable than every single hippy-dippy, ill fitting babydoll dress. pack your things up, you are fired.
in better news, i am packing my bags and jetting off to las vegas in less than six hours. i will be staying minutes away from both the juicy couture store, and the marc jacobs boutique. heaven help me, vegas will be left in ruins.

white hot peep toes.
the vast majority of the time, i am not a shoe person. i mean, i love shoes, but i am the type of person where function comes before form. i have to be able to wear them all of the time, including to work. i have to be able to wear them outside (which means no suede, which means these beauties are not an option). and! they have to be hot like motherfucking fire.
i don't like anything strappy, i don't like heels that are too narrow or pointy, i don't like this whole jazz shoe trend, i abhor most patent leather, and sorry, but slouchy boots give me cankles. no thanks.
but these? these are glorious.
the shape alone is lust-worthy, and the moment i saw them, i started listing off the things i could wear them with. my favorite black skinny jeans, my amazing vintage blueberry dress, my anthropologie summer dress that i do not wear nearly enough.
and! the cherry on my sundae? they are totally on sale too.

oh, christ.
you know, sometimes the universe just decides to give you everything you want.
like, how i wanted LAMB to come in a size 14.
AND NOW THEY DO. and oh, what do you know, lucky me, its also the most adorable pair of sailor pants ever!
and what else did i ask for? more spectator pumps?
WELL OKAY! i mean, do i really even have to say anything about these? i want to put them in my mouth and nurse them like they are my life source.
so, universe, thank you for giving me nearly everything that i have ever wanted. now, please deliver the purse below, and see to it that it is stuffed full of money. thank you.

bitter ex girlfriend seeks beautiful bag
with the demise of my most recent catastrophic relationship (lying, cheating, no good, piece of trash, et cetera) i am refocusing my life, and rethinking what other trash is in my life. trash like, oh i dont know, my impressive collection of broken, haggard and discolored purses. and really, the best thing for me to do in this situation would be to replace those expendable pieces with this glorious miu miu bag.
sort of like replacing that other expendable thing that has occupied too much of my life.
i mean, yeah whatever, the bag is a month's pay, but hello! it has bows! and its big and soft and so... so... satchelly! and yes, i am aware that all im going to carry in it is my lavish collection of receipts, some lost quarters and maybe some chapstick. but maybe if i have this bag, it will empower me to improve the quality of my life! maybe it will make me more responsible, more motivated to do things like throw away my receipts and put my change in my change purse!
this bag marks the beginning of a whole new me!
... or it would, if i wasn't so brilliantly poor. oh well. i will just continue to lust fervently after it.
