Cute luggage alert


I think the new Samsonite luggage is cute! Likewise for the new face of the brand, Christina Ricci and her new bangs. Now why didn't my bangs turn out like that? I would love to travel with the suitcase but the only problem with it is the size of it. It seems to small for any heavy duty world traveling.

Too Bad I Don't Live in England

Or maybe it's actually a good thing I don't live in England because then I'd be tempted to spend more money!

If I lived in England I would...
...shop at http://www.dorothyperkins.com/
...wouldn't think twice about purchasing these adorable shoes for the spring/summer season (doesn't it just conjure up images of skipping along in meadow fields in pretty flowey dresses and sunshine and happiness?)
Boden Canvas Ballet Pumps - £20 (but it costs an extra £12 to ship to the US! Oy!)


...I would also snatch up these adorable peep-toe heeled flats! Pink little hearts! So cute! Where can I find this shoe in America?! Somebody tell me!
River Island's 'Barry' flats - £34.99

...and buying from Topshop wouldn't result in hefty shipping costs

Anthropologie

If I were to go on a shopping spree/binge at Anthropologie where I had the money to buy whatever I wanted, here is some of the stuff I would come out of the store with:




The Hills

For anyone who watches The Hills this is a pretty interesting article about the main scumbugs.

Yoox

I found so many cute things i want on Yoox...

BUT I CAN'T HAVE ANYTHING BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE MONEY!

:( :( :(

Depressing...

Pleated Coat

DKNY Lambswool/Cashmere Trench Coat - orig. $400 now$139.99
I like it! I know it's already spring (thank god! I love sun!) but this trench is so cute! It reminded me of that Peter Som pleated coat I saw in Glamour which I was looking for online but couldn't find. And it's on sale at Macy's! It's an investment for next fall...right? Gosh I hate being poor! :P If I had an extra $150 bucks I'd totally get it! I see it as a timeless coat.

Music of the Night

$4.00/pair + $3.00(S&H) TO WORLDWIDE
I find them adorable!

Jeans with HEART POCKETS!!!


Frankie B Jeans
available here, here, and here.

I am DEFINITELY spending a part of one of my paychecks on these jeans! They have heart pockets! How adorable is that?! They were only $81 at Revolve (as opposed to $174-$238)! I like the last pair of jeans the most.

Wake Me Up Before I GoGo

For waking up in the morning! Cuz I'm always so groggy and yucky. Maybe if I spritz some of this right when the alarm goes off...I'll get up! :)

On the Search

I was looking for this Peter Som coat with pleats that I saw in Glamour while I was reading and snacking at the semi-formal yesterday on the boat and instead I came across these items. But no coat! I thought it was so adorable!




Derek Lam Trench Coat with Blouson Sleeves - $1790.00
Wow i totally didn't see the price for this coat until now. THat is muy expensivo. But I thought this was a cute trenchcoat. I like the sleeves and the wraparound.



Gathered Back Coat - 70 pounds
I like the baby blue and the buttons and the back! But too bad Topshop doesn't ship to US. :/

For My Eyebrows

Because I have light eyebrows! The triangular tip seems like a good idea and it seems like a nice sturdy eyebrow pencil. Although it only comes in blonde and brunette. I know that's referring to the color but does that have a direct correlation to hair color? Because i'm neither...

Although I don't know how to use one. :P

Laura Mercier Eyebrow Pencil - $18

Proenza Schouler for Target

So I was shopping the Proenza Schouler collection for Target online (part of the GO International collection) and here are a few pieces I like. Of course I would have to hit up my local Target and try on the pieces themselves. I heard some pieces have a really good fit which is a plus. :) Designer clothes for non-designer prices! :D



Proenza Schouler Long-Sleeve Stripe Tissue Tee
Green Team/ True White or Williamsburg Navy/ Ebony - $16.99

I like the look of these striped long sleeved tees and how the tiny collar goes with the rest of the stripes. These tees are really thin though so that might be a problem, especially with the white and green one. But they look like a good length and cute! Good for an underpiece. Green and white would be good for spring too!





Proenza Schouler Boy Tissue Tee in True White or Showgirl Purple- $14.99

I like the length of these tees. These ones seem thin too. But it comes in purple! I really don't have enough purple clothing.





Proenza Schouler Contrast Bound Woven Top - True White or Yellow Tonka - $22.99


These are said to be thin too. Maybe that's the price for cheap designer clothes. :P But they still seem cute. I'd just have to wear a white undershirt and stuff. And they look spring ready! :) I like how the lines just jump out at you.



Proenza Schouler Deep V-Neck Cardigan Sweater - Heather Gray/ Faded Rose - $29.99



Proenza Schouler Seersucker Jacket - Ocean Madras -$34.99

This cropped jacket is cute! I like how the lines are subtle.I want it!



Proenza Schouler Button Front Skirt with Belt - Showgirl Purple or Avalon Sea - $29.99

These skirts seem like one of the highlights of the collection. They're so bold! I'm not sure if I can pull off such bright colors but I sure want to try! Purple! I like the bright turquoise one as well! Wear with a nice neutral top or go crazy with prints or something. :)


Proenza Schouler Twill Zip Pocket Pencil Skirt - Oxford White - $29.99
This skirt seems very promising as well. Simple but flattering (hopefully).

I think this miniskirt looks so cute! And it's at a good length. Good for everyday schoolwear and for the spring! :)



Once my next next paycheck comes in I'll definitely organize a Target trip. Maybe... if Tokidoki doesn't get in my way...




But there's still that Chief Loves Me Hoodie...


and Amore print...


and Grim Reaper and Adios hoodie...


and Storm grey hoodie...





Bag Lady (in White and Black)

Nordstrom Crochet Hobo - $138 now $91.90


I think this bag is just adorable. It's a weird angle but I didn't see the a flat front photo of the black and white one. It'd probably get dirty but I think it's just adorable!




Diane Von Furstenberg Shanghai Boarding Bag - $200 (now $99.99)



I like how this bag seems practical but chic too. I personally like the black and white over the ruby and brown (that one looks drab to me). I like the blue one too in the pictures but it doesn't seem to be available as a color or maybe it's just not on sale.





Isabella Fiore Tula Tote - $695

I would probably never get this bag (well as of right now) because it's just so expensive. That's pretty much a ticket to hong kong or like 6 Tokidoki purchases or 3-4 visits to San Francisco. But when I saw it (i didn't see the price) I just liked it. I was like oooh pretty!

Marc Jacobs Leather Stam Bag - $1275.00

Sigh, same with this one! I don't know if this is more a classic or trendy bag right now but I would use it for a long time! I like the quilted leather and the bunched up top! I would take it in white, in black, in turquoise... but at $1275 a pop?! Dang. Once I'm rich! Shoot I'd go on a Tokidoki spree with that money.



I don't know why, but all the bags I was attracted to seem to be black and white. :P

Good site!

Passport Panties
I thought these were a cute idea too!

SAN to SFO

http://hubwear.com/
Since I am frequently flying up to SFO from SAN, I thought this shirt was a cute idea! Although I think it's pricey to have those few letters put on the shirt. Couldn't I just do that myself? But cute idea nonetheless.

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes

Aren't these shoes just precious? I thought it was such a creative idea and so cute! If I had the money, I would totally go out and buy these and wear them. :P

Lacoste Millie Suede -$143.95

I thought these mary jane flats were adorable and I like how the white stitching pops out at you.Knitted Cat Face Slipperette

I really like this slipper to wear at home (or in the dorm)! It's so adorable!!! But it doesn't ship to US. Otherwise I'd totally buy it. :P


Cole Haan ‘Air Beau’ Mary Jane

I like the black ones more but it doesn't even show up as a color on the website .These would be perfect for school because they have the look of flats but there heels are a little raised like sneakers so they would last longer! Part of the Cole Haan and Nike collaboration.

Calvin Klein Gracyn Flat

I like these black and white ones the best and how the white and black intercross. Don't know how the toes would look like peeped out. Would have to try them on before I but them.

Cole Haan Afina Mary Jane -$275

If I were to wear heels, these would be it. They're combination Cole Haan and Nike so the Nike Air technology inside the pump is bound to make it more comfotable. And tey come in purple! :)




Charles David Carmen Pump
I pretty much saved these shoes just because they're purple patent leather! I guess it's a funky color...but it's purple!!

Jewelry

Women for Women Afghan Fluorite Bracelet - $24.95

I like this bracelet! It has purple stones which are handcarved by women in Afghanistan and the Women for Women organization who creates this bracelet helps make jobs for these women that have been formerly oppressed by the government to hold a job. AND The Rainforest Site will preserve 2290.0 sq. ft. of land for each Women for Women Afghan Fluorite Bracelet purchased.

Remember Ring - $760

Does your SO have trouble remembering that special day? Buy him the Remember Ring which will heat up to 120 degrees for 10 seconds every hour starting from the previous day before anniversary date given at time of purchase. This ring does not actually exist yet but they are currently in the works of engineering it. I thought it was a pretty great idea. :P



Takohl Design Treasure Ring - Start $1160 - $8300

Very pricey but I loved the idea of the ring and how it unhinges to reveal a message. Very creative!


Travel Jewelry Case - $22.95

And this jewelry case would be perfect for traveling so my bracelets and stuff wouldn't get all tangled up in each other. And it comes in purple!

Antibacterial Brush Set


I think it's totally true that we don't think about all the bacteria that is infested in our makeup brushes what with every day use and whatnot. This would make a good addition to your makeup collection! A set of makeup brushes that is treated to fight bacteria and it comes with special shampoo so you can clean these brushes.

Sephora Antibacterial Brush Set - $42

Good for the Feet, Good For the Soul

So these foot gel pads for when you wear heels look like heaven for the feet when you're in those darn annoying feet-pinching heels.
