A Very Sensible Wrap

I hate winter.  I hate boots cause they make me look like I have Ethiopian legs inside a giant's shoe.  I hate wearing sweaters and jackets because they hide all the pretty things about me.  But now, winter is upon us and for the next three months I have to torture myself with wearing all kinds of stuff that hides my bust and my booty.  In my desperate search for cute winter-wear I happened upon this really updated grandma sweater from Express.  It is so warm and soooooo cute!  With leggings or jeans, this wrap is very sensible.  I already have it in grey and white--and soon, in zebra. :)

I'm Cheating on Chanel!

This is my new love.  I am obsessed with this purse, except that I have refused to believe that I could love a quilted purse that is not Chanel.  I feel like I'm cheating!  I want put it on the record that Chanel will always be the only quilted purse with chain handles that I will spend $3,000.00 for.  With that being said, I would also spend $1,100.00 for this Marc Jacobs quilted bag.  It's so amazing, because it's chic and edgy at the same time.  Isn't it the BEST?! Damn you Marc Jacobs, damn you.  First the mouse shoes, and now you've made me a cheater!

Sometimes I Don't Understand Genius

I think that we can all agree that Marc Jacobs is a genius.  His quilted handbags are beautiful.  His clothes are always edgy, youthful and fun.  To top it off, Marc Jacobs has kept Louis Vuitton relevant and modern as its creative director, when LV could have easily slid into the trenches of boring  old lady bags like Ferragamo bags have. However, there are times when even I do not understand MJ's fashion risks.  For example, mouse shoes and one of the ugliest old lady bags I have ever seen in my entire life.  As edgy as I think that I am, I'm definitely not edgy enough to wear mouse shoes. And that bag, I cannot comprehend it at all.  It's one old lady bag on top of another.  It's not even like it's Marc Jacobs bags for Target, this bag is the real deal and it's over $2,000.00 to buy it.  So, this is where I'm not sure if Marc Jacobs is so genius that I don't understand him the way that I don't understand why Van Gogh chopped his ears off; or if these mouse shoes are exactly what they seem: really weird and ugly. Right now I will reserve judgment because these mouse shoes might be totally cute as part of a whole ensemble...an ensemble where the rest of your outfit is made of cheese.

Frugalista I Am Not

There is no way, no possible way that I will ever be that girl that does the "buy it for cheaper" column.  Well not as long as Gucci shoes and Louis Vuitton purses exist in this world.  I don't even understand how a person can have this column.  Buy it Cheaper? Where? At the "Gucci and Louis Vuitton Stolen Merchandise Store?" That place is an urban legend!!! I can see girls everywhere mouthing the words "snobby bitch" right now, but that is because you misunderstand. I am not saying that all amazing things must be Gucci.  I know that there's tons of really cool cheap stuff out there that does not also force you to go hungry for buying them.  However, cheap stuff NEVER looks like this.  I would like to see someone attempt to show me cheaper versions of these amazing Gucci Drew heels.  And good luck finding a cheap version of this Louis Vuitton Vernis Leather Amarante Alma bag.  That's right, the bag is so nice that you can't even say the full name.
