8 songs

Do you have any songs that you could just listen to forever and ever? I mean like sit there and put the song on repeat and just keep listening to it and never get bored or annoyed? (This was stolen from some other blog....)

1. Caress Me Down - Sublime

2. The World at Large - Modest Mouse

3. Throwing Stones - Grateful Dead

4. El Scorcho - Weezer

5. This Must Be the Place - Talking Heads

6. Remix of Ignition - R Kelly

7. City on Down - OAR

8. Crazy Bitch - Buckcherry



Anyway, on a more fashion-y note:

I got the new Nylon this week. Ever since I saw this cover at the airport awhile ago


and bought it, I've been getting free Nylon mags every month. I must have signed up for something but I do not remember doing so. So, thanks Nylon.

It was a Gossip Girls themed and they shot two covers (one with Blake Lively and one with Leighton Meester) and I got the Blake one. She's pretty but her expressions are always a bit strange. Like she doesn't have control over her facial muscles or something. She's wearing an underwhelming Elizabeth & James skirt on the cover that looks like you could probably get something pretty similar at Forever21. Elizabeth & James is pretty hit or miss.

They did an article on Christian Louboutin. I think I'm going to make it a mission to get a pair of his shoes. I think my biggest problem (aside from the money) would be just picking one. The classic black peep toe pump with the red sole is pretty timeless and chic but he makes such fun colorful and decorated shoes that I would almost want to go like crazy with them.

Top Row: Xatrinxia, Catenita, No Prive
Bottom Row: Fontanete, City Girl, Hotatio Sling

So I think my favorites are the Xatrinxia and the City Girl. But obviously I'm a label whore and I would want the red sole to be highly noticeable (no flats, wedges, ect.) and so I would probably go with the Catenita. I'll put them on the list of things to buy. Someday. Eventually. Maybe. I though this was interesting, though (from the article): "His creations force the hips to sway a little more, causing the wearer to strut instead of walk..." I interpret this as "His shoes are so high and painful you will look silly trying to walk in them so we're going to call it 'strutting' instead"

I know I really have no place talking about makeup or skin care products since during the week all I really do is shower and used Oil of Olay moisturizer for sensitive skin buttttt I found this to be pretty hilarious. So hilarious, it ALMOST makes me want to spend the $65 and buy it.
Good In Bed Skin Restoring Night Moisturizer
(Good In Bed Moisturizer, Prescriptives.com)

Quoting Nylon: "A good night's sleep and a titillating round (or three) of sex can do a lot for a girl's complexion. Many a beauty company has tried to manufacture the radiant glow that screams, 'I am well-rested and sexually satisfied' with little success. . . . So you wake up looking like you didn't spend half the evening up alone watching a Law & Order marathon"

Oh I hope some girl buys it and puts it on and shows up to work the next day and suddenly everyone thinks she's easy, her boyfriend dumps her because he thinks she's cheating on him, and ya know, everything else happens to her that goes along with being a whore.

OK somebody really needs to start showing me picture of non-gladiator sandals before I go crazy.

Peace and sexy moisturizers,

uniqueness

I swear this sweater caught my eye before I even noticed who made it:

(picture from shopbop.com)

Adorable from the front, no? I really love big oversized cardigans. And I think everyone knows my feelings on the color grey. Lovely. I usually don't go for short sleeved sweaters but just wait. The real awesomeness of this sweater isn't revealed until you take a look at the back:

So cool! What a great warm weather cardigan. Open in the back so you'll get a breeze but your arms and shoulders are covered. And as if that wasn't enough uniqueness in one sweater, check this out:

I'm speechless. 

OH yeah, its the Halter Sweater made by none other then the lovely talented fantastic fabulous beautiful amazing Mary Kate Olsen (Ashley had no chance designing this one...) for Elizabeth and James.

Go buy it. Come on, it's only $265. Those Olsen's need a sandwich.

Peace and versatility,

if i had a million dollars...

Here is what I would buy:


Peace Leather Wrap Bracelet - Accessories and Beyond
$176 (picture from shopbop.com)

What a beautiful bracelet. And who doesn't totally love peace? And who doesn't love everyone else knowing that they totally love peace?


Marysia Clutch - Botkier
$395 (picture from shopbop.com)

I love the crisscross leather detail cause it's not absolutely perfect. Plus I've been on a 'white bag for summer' mission.


Blossom Print Tie Neck Halter Top - Catherine Malandrino
$395 (picture from shopbop.com)

Flowery top = beautiful. Yellow pants = bold.
Why do I always fall in love with shirts that do not allow the wearer to wear a bra?? Sad face (sad boobs, actually.)

Mid City Tote - Foley + Corrinna
$444 (picture from shopbop.com)

This color is pretty and unique. I love the shape of the bag and its versatility (carried as shown by the handles or it can be folded over in half and carried with the shoulder strap to create a different look.)


Charlye Pull On Boot - Golden Goose
$1050 (seriously?) (picture from shopbop.com)

Is that actual mud on the heel? Gee I hope it's included in the price! For reals, something about these boots makes me realllly want them. I think I like things that already look destroyed so then I won't worry about destroying them myself..

Runway Angel Dress
Runway Angel Dress - Missoni
$2,390 (picture from neimanmarcus.com)

Love the blue and teal strip contract on the classic Missoni print. It kinda reminds me of one of those giant hippie sweater you get at Habitat. I like.
Glazed Love Treviso Clutch
Glazed Love Treviso Clutch - L.A.M.B.
$525 (picture from neimanmarcus.com)

Oh Gwen, why is your stuff so expensive? I like that this clutch has a handle, so unlike typical annoying clutches that you will want to throw on the ground in the middle of the night instead of carrying it under your arm one more second, this one might be a little easier cause you can carry it with your hand.



Ibiza Tie-Dye Dress - C&C California
$178 (picture from shopbop.com)

I. Like. Absolutely. Anything. Tie. Dye.

True Religion Serena Woven Leather Hobo

Serena Woven Leather Hobo - True Religion
$458 (picture from shopbop.com)

True Religion? Seriously? You make something other then jeans? Perfect white summer hobo. Love the little beads.

Elizabeth & James Fringed Jacket & Stirrup Leggings
This whole outfit (minus the shoes, probably)
Fringed Jacket - Elizabeth & James
$775
Stirrup Leggings - Elizabeth & James
$220
(picture from neimanmarcus.com)

I have such an odd obsession with these stirrup pants..... Well it's not THAT odd, I guess considering they're adorable and unique and made by Mary Kate.

Turnlock Teri Tote - Marc by Marc Jacobs
$428 (picture from shoppingismycardio.com)

Love, love, love the color. Duh. It also looks like it would be easy to clean (I spill alot).


Banded Multicolor Sandal - Marc by Marc Jacobs
$380 (picture from shopbop.com)

Navy = Color of the summer. It looks great with bright green and now, red too. Navy, you are amazing. And who ever thought chunky heels would be back?


Paparazzi Dress - Yaya Aflalo
$555 (picture from shopbop.com)

I can't imagine a place or time when I would ever wear something like this but gosh isn't it so pretty?


Slip-Off Top - VPL
$245 (picture from shopbop.com)

Sexy, sexy. I would buy this and give it to one of my friends who could ...ahem, go braless.



Square Neck Pleated Dress - Vera Wang Lavender Label
$495 (picture from shobop.com)

A spring wedding. And yes, I'm grossed out a wedding is the first event I though of. But it screams classy wedding guest, does it not? Maybe dress it down with a navy cardigan?


Patent Fernanda Gladiator Sandle - Modern Vintage
$225 (picture from shopbop.com)

...channeling Mary Kate...


Mallorca Raffia Double Sole Wedge - Jean-Michel Cazabat
$365 (picture from shopbop.com)

For the ultra rich hippie.

All this and I didn't even break $10,000. I'm pumped that most of the things on my list are summery. It means that it's getting closer. Hope you enjoyed the pretty pictures!

Summer, hurry up.

Peace and fantasy shopping trips,
