get high

TamPham and Diabolina have both been all atwitter about high waisted skirts. And so of course, so am I! I'm such a follower!

But how could I not be? Am loving the styles from Marc by Marc Jacobs and 3.1 Phillip Lim.

I love fall clothing so much more than any other season! And with the dreary weather we've been having in Seattle, I can picture myself wearing skirts and tights and boots!

Ugh. I need a new wool coat too. Been needing one for a couple years now but have been making do with this icky Kenneth Cole one that I swear I bought nearly 10 yrs ago. I just can't seem to find the perfect one.

new man in my life

It's offical. HB and I are over. Phillip Lim and I have decided to elope! Dum dum da dum!

That would be my dream come true! Well, at least my dream wardrobe! Does Phillip Lim even swing this way? Oh well. I guess Hunny Bunny still has a little place in my cold, cold heart.

On my way back from lunch, Karen and I passed by Mario's and saw that their sale is at 60% off! We had to take a peek!

I saw this glorious dress for only $190! I need to go back and try it on..

let's wait awhile

Remember that Janet song? Love it..

Anyway, I'm sooooo glad I waited on buying the 3.1 Phillip Lim dress that was on sale for 50% off at Ron Herman. I know that their sales are progressive so I decided to wait it out.

And good thing I did! It just went down to 65% off! Yippeee! (Too bad it wasn't free shipping too! $12! Yikes.) I only hope I got the right size because it's a final sale. Damn these buff arms!

*pant, pant* I'm so excited right now! I could just burst!

not my fault

Everytime my friend comes home (she works in Japan) for a visit, she makes me want to shop and buy fancy things that I can't afford. It's not her fault. It's all me. I covet everything she has! I told her that if she ever has a garage sale, to please put me at the top of her list.

Since she's not having a blowout sale anytime soon, I decided to do a little online window shopping. I really love the color of that 3.1 Phillip Lim dress.. And I do love the Jimmy Choo Mahala bag. They're both on sale.. I'm waiting for them to get marked down once more. *wink*

But you'll be so proud to know that I did not buy the Zac Posen dress I found at the Rack yesterday. It's gorgeous, but do I need it? No. Even though it was orig. $1675, marked down to $449 with an additional 40% off! Wait a minute. Maybe I should get it! Dammit. I may have just talked myself into it.

*spank*

Bad.

I think I'll hold out for the Phillip Lim dress. It's more my style. hohum...

I've been having some issues with my ankle on and off for the past several months, though it's been mostly on for the last couple weeks. Basically, I haven't able to run at all and sometimes I have to limp. It kinda sucks because I don't like being gimpy. My doc said to give it a few more weeks and if it doesn't get better then he'll xray it and send me to some pedicurist or whatever those foot doctors are called. (I'm joking about the pedicurist. Sheesh! I'm not that airheaded, all the time..)

My yoga instructor thinks my arches are falling. All I know is that I can't wear shoes that are super flat - and that means that a lot sandals out there are out of the question. I need more support, which leads me to these 3.1 Phillip Lim for Tatami on
eLuxury.



I know I've sworn up and down about never buying Birkentstocks (just because I'm from Seattle does not make me a tree huggin' granola - although I'm a huge recycler!) but these are so cute! Not to mention Phillip Lim! Doesn't that excuse everything about Birks? (FYI-Tatami are the Banana Republic of Birkenstock!)

Got any other ideas? At $180, they're not obscenely expensive..

this is why i'm poor

I've been obsessed with this dress that I saw Kate Hudson wearing in a photo.


It's by 3.1 Phillip Lim and it's $675! Even if I were to find it at 50% off I still couldn't afford to buy it!

Banana Republic has a paisley top that's sorta reminiscent of this dress but I don't think I want to buy it cos I'd rather have a Phillip Lim.

*sigh*

almost famous

I totally have the dress that Brooke (Sophia Bush) is wearing in the season premier of One Tree Hill! I never watch that show but I saw the previews while I was watching Gossip Girl (love the clothes on that show btw!)



It's a 3.1 Phillip Lim dress that I picked up at the Rack for $189 from $695. Ugh.. Forever 21 totally copied the dress. Don't get me wrong, I love me some F21 but sheesh. No wonder they're getting sued for copyright infringement by everyone and their mom!

Now here's me wearing it at The Man's holiday party a couple weeks ago:

Do the blurry faces look creepy?

frock you

my favorite dress of the week (on sale, of course!)

Don't you just love 3.1 Phillip Lim's ruffle collar coccoon dress? The collar is to die for. It makes a very simple dress all the more elegant and eye-catching. I see it with some fun colored tights or a fancy clutch and you're ready for New Years Eve!

You can buy it at Jake. It's not exactly a steal, but you'd look sooooo hot broke!

UPDATE: This dress in amethyst is now even cheaper at Barney's.

naughty or nice

Does it really matter? I better get a good gift from my bf. He's finally asked for my Christmas list so I'm compiling random stuff on it. I kinda like this jacket by Puma.

I actually saw this jacket while browsing through my brother's Complex magazine. It was a gift idea for guys to buy their girlfriends. Maybe I should get a subscription for my bf so he has these things at home. Anyway, I think it'd be cute to wear on weekends.

I'm also going to add this 3.1 Phillip Lim dress that I had seen at Barney's a while back. It's on sale now, so I'll put it on the list. Click here to see the dress. I'm going to put that miu miu bag on this list too, even though it's waaaaaaay over his threshold. Maybe he's feeling generous! (And yes, he has a threshold for my gifts that has now reach $350, which is quite an accomplishment on my part. I was stuck at $250 for a couple years. I finally got a raise!)

Hmm. I should put a picture of a diamond ring on my list too. Two carats anyone?

I'm shy...

But I hide it by talking a lot.


Have you been to the Barney's sale yet? It was ok. I was hoping this 3.1 Phillip Lim dress would be on sale but it wasn't. The salesgal said it was a progressive sale though and that they'd be adding more stuff and marking things down even more through January. I only work a couple blocks away so I plan to take Barneys-breaks every so often to check on the dress.


I did however buy this Marc by Marc Jacobs cardigan. It's really cute. 100% wool and not itchy at all. I hate itchy. And it has these neat little darts on the bottom of the back side that make the sweater kinda cup my booty.. Or maybe I just have a huge booty. Either way, I find it rather comforting. Hold me...


Anyhoo, I'm personally not crazy about Kinerase stuff, but I am crazy about free:
