steal.

i wanted these awesome satin shoes made by simple last year. They were sold exclusively at nordstrom's (from what i could tell) and cost about $70. i "simply" (hardeeharhar) can't justify spending that on sneakers...

i found them at ross dress for less yesterday for $16.99. yoink!! i SO took these bitches home.

dRool.

sometimes i get really stuck/lost on etsy. it's such a great place to waste some time, and to discover amazing handmade things. yesterday, i fell in love with rounan's 2010 xanadu collection. to wit:

extraterrestrial coral reef necklace

this looks rather spinal to me... and i love it.

the wall flower necklace

so organic i want to lick it!

a handful of stardust necklace

in this, i see the drops of water as the base of a waterfall that freeze in the winter.

Right up my alley: james peRse

i like this guy's style. his contemporary knitwear designs, and their pallette, speak to my very soul.

sweater 

top

dress

not that these are even close to my price-range. so it goes...

this is magic!!

joseph arthur, ben harper, and dhani harrison???

WOW.

yes, please

this top makes me want to revamp my wardrobe. i can see myself now: causal-chic in straight-leg pants (we're talking serious change here, people) and ballet flats. i'll take one in every color, please.

thanks.

p.s. and guess what? it's not j. crew! yay, me.

p.p.s. oh, except it's not any more reasonably priced. way to be consistent.

i see lots of bloggers that spend some serious dough on clothes from anthropologie... i typically don't even like the stuff they've got; forget dishing out big cash for it. that was until this:

that's the hotness.

also: did you know that on their website, customers can post pictures with their review of items? genius.
