Can't get this song out of my head!

Nordstrom, you dissapoint me

I went to Nordstrom today for the anniversary sale, hoping to go on a fiscally-irresponsible spending spree. Unfortunately, they didn't really have anything that great. I just picked up a pair of these adorable Mint Julip sandals by Poetic License. I guess it's better off that way anyways. :/

These are a few of my favorite things

Just a few of my recent obsessions....


Bed Head's Superstar line for super thick hair (the sell it pretty much everywhere).












High waist jeans.




















Studded shoes.

























I love feathers and gold chains, so of course I fell in love with this necklace by Norwegian Wood

















Denim shirts (a similar one can be found at top shop)



















Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment. It works wonders. Srsly.











And lastly, I have been obsessed with making safety pin jewelry. I've finally perfected it to a science and have posted some new designs in my shop.

HauteLook

Just signed up for Haute Look and I am absolutely loving it. My personal favorite at the moment is this great Busby Mini Dress. But I already spent enough money today. Guhhh.

Also, I finally have followers. Yay. Thanks, guys. <3

Two in one day!

I totally had to do two featured sellers today because I found yet another shop to drool over. Panda Loves Kitsch. My personal favorite is the gold lame` leggings.

Be sure to show her shop some love. <3

Etsy Seller

Today I came across LA Native's Etsy shop and fell in love. The prices are a little high, but it's really great stuff. Love the Flying Earth headbands. Be sure to check her out! xo

Fendi Watches and Alexander McQueen Purses

Both are up on gilt groupe today. Invites available here.

crushed.

So I finally went to go buy the Christopher Kane Mandrill shirt two nights ago and I put the wrong billing phone number. The bank freaked out because it was such a large amount and the merchant was in Italy. They temporarily shut down my account do to 'fraudulent activity.' In the meantime, someone else bought the shirt. The very last one. Guhhhh. Now I'm out of luck and have $300 burning a hole in my pocket. Any suggestions for replacement purchases?

Just for the boyz.

Today's featured seller is robertjoseph. I have actually had experience buying from this seller and he is an icredibly nice guy who sells really well-made, reasonably priced men's bikinis. My boyfriend loves his. :)

J. Brand Sale

Gilt Groupe is having a really good sale on J. Brand jeans today. Most pairs are over 50% off and I don't think there are any pairs over $100. You can chack them all out here but you MUST be a member of the site to browse. You can get a free invite from me here.

New bag for sale

I posted a new bag on my Etsy store yesterday. It's made from a reconstructed t-shirt and a vintage chain belt. check it out here.

Shopbop

Shopbop has some really nice designer clothing, shoes, and accessories for 70% off in their sale section. Marc Jacobs, Thakoon, Michael Kors and more.

Steve Madden Handbag Sale

They marked down a bunch of handbags on the Steve Madden website today. They also have some really low priced accessories.

So good.

Fuck Handbag Du Jour, I really like this Pauric Sweeny bag patchwork bag. I saw it in Elle UK yesterday and fell in love immediately.

American Apparel Coupon Code

From now until the 31st of July, you can use the code d168-ft12495 to get %15 off of you entire purchase at American Apparel.

omg.

Sooo once again I was looking for those elusive leather gloves, when I found them! Not only that, but I found them in an AMAZING online boutique. Nasty Gal. They have tons of great vintage stuff as well as amazing new items. One of my favorite items was this gold zipper bangle. Only $12!! Love it.

I'm in love.

My new short-term goal is to be able to buy this shirt before they're all gone. $351. I think I can do it responsibly in about 2 weeks (if I don't do much other shopping). We'll see how that works out.

It might look familiar because it's very similar to the Gorilla dress made famous by Rihanna. But like a third of the price.















As for a long(er) term goal, I would like to buy myself a Louis bag for Christmas. Right now, I really like this Stephen Sprouse Speedy 30, buuut I might change my mind by then. We'll see.

That's all for now. Just wanted to talk about things I can't buy. xo

Tons of Vintage items just added!

I just added a ton of vintage items to my Etsy store, Recessionista. A lot of fun vintage pumps as well as some other goodies. :)

Hottness

This week's featured Etsy seller is Hellosweetmarie. I came across her shop when I was looking for a pair of leather gloves (which I STILL haven't found.) Super hot one-of-a-kind, hand sewn clothing.

Gilt Groupe Women's Final Sale!

Gilt Groupe is having their final Women's Sale today. They have amazing prices on Designer brands including Marc Jacobs, Valentino, Michael Kors, and more. You need an invite to shop, and can follow this link to get one. Check out the sale here.

Sunglasses

Found some really cute, really inexpensive vintage sunglasses on Etsy.




This pair can be found at WhitebirdDesign's shop.

















This pair of French vintage shades was listed by annemarieaustin.











This pair only looks expensive. You can find them at sickboyvintage's Etsy shop.






While they're not as inexpensive and you may not feel as 'authentic,' American Apparel also has some pretty incredible vintage-styled shades.

Happy 4th of July

Well, the holiday weekend is coming to an end. I don't know if I'm going to be able to get myself out of bed tomorrow to go to work. Yesterday I had a wonderful day at the Fontainebleau pool party. Everyone looked so hot. I was so glad I finally got to wear a bathing suit with stilettos.

I think I'm going to start posting one of my favorite Etsy sellers every week. This week is LIAISON. This shit is absolutely amazing.


I'm hoping to be updating my own store a lot this week. Keep an eye out.

Is it bad...

...that I am a vegetarian and my newest fashion obsession is black leather? It's all I want to buy. With studs and zippers. I started my collection today. Still trying to figure out how I can make some things like this. I think safety pins may be as close as I can get. As for now, I'll just keep an eye out for an amazing leather vest and finger-less gloves.
