I love how classic and ladylike this bag is. It's sturdy, will stand the test of time, and is forever stylish. Love the hazelnut latte leather color too. I would have no problem carrying this to work, to dinner afterward, and then out during the weekend. To me, the Jimmy Choo Rosalie is just plain classy and wearable. What do you pretty people think?

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 14:54:00 -0800 Loving: Alexander Wang Kirsten Multi-Strap Suede Tote [NOT YOUR AVERAGE TOTE] http://letsgoshopping.posterous.com/loving-alexander-wangkirsten-multi-strap-sued http://letsgoshopping.posterous.com/loving-alexander-wangkirsten-multi-strap-sued
Media_httpcachexlneta_bxbxb

I have always had this shopping problem where I zone in on things that are "different." I have a hard time envisioning complete outfits or what I already have in my closet that would work with the item I'm coveting.

Luckily, I'm on deck to put a giant down payment on a wedding gown tomorrow, so there's no chance of me giving in to temptation here, but I think the Alexander Wang Kirsten Multi-Strap Suede Tote is giving me one of those moments of "OMG I want it, who cares what I'll wear it with."

What saves me from being a complete caution-to-wind-thrower on this one is the beautiful dove gray, almost taupe color. That soft neutral anchors this bag in a way that lets the crazy belting just work somehow. It's edgy without being out there. I love it!

Sun, 30 Jan 2011 18:14:00 -0800 Wedding Shoes - 7 Silvery Ideas [HELP ME, SHOPPERS] http://letsgoshopping.posterous.com/wedding-shoes-7-silvery-ideas-help-me-shopper http://letsgoshopping.posterous.com/wedding-shoes-7-silvery-ideas-help-me-shopper

Wedding_shoes_-_ideas

OK fellow shoppers, I am in need of some suggestions. I'm getting married in November and I have started to think about wedding shoes. I found "the dress" and I'm gaga over it. It's totally outrage and I can't wait to share pictures of it (although you're gonna have to wait a while). However, back to the shoes.

I want something silvery, maybe something sparkly, something beautiful. I want a peep toe or sandal style, and it can't be an open-backed shoe. So, what would you suggest? I would love it if I found something amazing that I could actually wear again.

I collected a lucky 7 ideas to get the juices flowing. What do you think? What would you suggest?

1. Jimmy Choo Viola Crystal Suede Sandals, $1850 at Saks Fifth Avenue
2. Kate Spade Charm Glitter Peep Toe Pump, $325 at Footnotes Online (P.S. These are so pretty, but are they fake?)
3. Jimmy Choo Glitter-Finish Sandals, $750 at Net-A-Porter
4. Jimmy Choo Lance Mirrored Sandals, $695 at Saks Fifth Avenue
5. Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal-Embellished Suede Sandals, $1495 at Net-A-Porter
6. Milk and Honey Sparkles Shoes, $275 at Milk and Honey
7. Christian Louboutin Crystal-Encrusted Suede Pump, $3095 at Neiman Marcus

I am totally yearning for this dress. It's such a beautiful day-to-night number. I sort of want to cuddle with it, actually.

I think like this, but probably in black. It's pretty shouldery and I think it's sort of fun. Should I get it?

How versatile is this black dress? I love that it's a simple staple, but with (literally) a twist thrown in. Completely office-appropriate but still shows your shape. What do you think?

Not that I really need to spend almost 500 bucks on a pair of shoes right now (hello, wedding gown!), but I am still a little heartbroken that these aren't available in my size. I think these would make summer suntanned legs look miles long, and they're really versatile too. Le sigh.

P1030496

Since my last post, G and I have bought a house, got engaged, moved, begun to make the house our own, started looking for a wedding venue... I think you get the picture. And it's right in line with how my life has been operating lately anyway.

The past two years have been rocketing forward and upward for me, between work (I am so fortunate to have a great job and feel challenged and valued in my organization), love (there is just no way to accurately articulate what it feels like to know that you get to spend your life with your right person), geography (Boston and New York may look close on a map, but they are worlds apart), and figuring out who I really want to be (we're all still getting there, all the time). It's just been momentous, sometimes system-shocking change. But at the end of the day, I am so (so!) lucky. That's not to say everything is perfect all the time. But I truly feel like I am living my right life.

I hope you feel like you're in your right life, too.

I would wear this until it fused to my body and became part of my DNA. Yet another delicious piece to drool over from my laptop screen and not my mirror. If I wasn't on the hunt for a house, I would totally be on the hunt for this jacket or something like it. What do you think?

I've been binge shopping lately, kumquats.

I'll share some fun things soon.

Also, Greg and I vacationed in Turks and Caicos and then I spent some time in Austin for SXSW Interactive.  It's been a whirlwind first half of March to say the least.

They'll go with just about everything, and there's nothin' wrong with that.  I tried them on in real life and they run a tiny bit snug.  If you're between sizes, order up.  Added bonus is that Seychelles are always really comfortable, so I'll also save on bandaids and blister rub.  File this under FTW.

I saw this jacket in the WHBM catalog and I had to have it. Hence, I ordered it today. It's so perfect for the office! Then again, I can see myself wearing this outside of work too, maybe in spring with a pair of black shorts and sandals or heels. Greg always tells me he loves my "little jackets" so I hope he enjoys the latest addition to my personal collection. What do you guys think?
