"Always wear expensive shoes. People notice."

It sort of amazes me how the Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2006 booties still haunt me. Sometimes when I'm getting dressed, I'll think about how they'd be the perfect finish to my outfit; I just wish I owned them. Then, I thought maybe my prayers had been answered when Sam Edelman rereleased the Zoe Boot. Unfortunately, for $345 I fear these, too, will join the Balenciagas in tormenting me. God, I really need a job.

Oh, How I Love Thee...

When I saw this in the H&M magazine, my mouth dropped. The velvet makes the dress look luxurious, and those sleeves...amazing. I die.

Oh, and don't even tease me with these shorts. Seriously, a high-waisted, tweed short with studded pocket detail? I just want to put them on with some black tights, a platform heel, and one of this season's greatest trends--the boyfriend tuxedo jacket.

i'm not mister muscle, but i can be loathsome and i can hustle you.

I'm so obsessed with this Alexander Wang leather motorcycle jacket. The lambskin leather looks so soft and buttery and, oh, I sort of just want to lick it. Too bad it retails for $1,495 and is almost always sold out. I really need to find a cheaper alternative, but have yet to see one.
