Let's talk about how I absolutely NEEEEEEEEEEED these in my life. They remind me somewhat of Chloe Sevigny's Balenciaga boots that I've been lusting after for what seems like eons now, except a whole lot cheaper ($350). I'm waiting to see if endless puts up a discount code for July 4; if they do, I am so buying a pair. If not, I think I'll order these Topshop ones instead.. (or maybe I'll just get the Belle by Sigerson Morrison ones instead.. #whitegirlproblems)


Acne knock-offs! I wish they grey were still available, or even the black, but the tan is gorgeous too so I'm not complaining. Though I'm trying to decide if I should order them now or wait until I get to London in a little over two weeks..I'm not sure if I want to risk them being sold out, but they're also $30 cheaper in the UK than in the US. Plus, with as shitty as Topshop's shipping is, I'm not sure I'd get them before my trip! My last Topshop order took over a month to arrive..

lists

Things I Want

Topshop braided sandals; Rebecca Minkoff sundress; Smith's Rosebud Salve (I have a ton of jars of this, but the tube seems so much more convenient); Le Labo Iris 39 (I recently purchased Le Labo's Rose 31 and I love it but I feel like the Iris is more "me"..); Chanel Inimitable Mascara (recently ran out of my Diorshow - which I've been getting a little tired of - and got a cheaper tube of Clinique, which is clumpy and flaky and inferior and so not worth saving $15..will be trying the Chanel out once I've gone through the Clinique); Opening Ceremony babydoll dress (I have this exact dress in white with a grey threaded pattern, so it seems silly to buy the same dress in another color. Unless it goes on sale, obviously. Then it's 110% necessary, right?); Bond No. 9 Chinatown; Kerastase Oleo Relax Slim Masque; Topshop Boutique sheer oversized dress (hopefully [unlikely] this will still be in stores once I'm in London - 45 days!); Mulberry Alexa (will be checking out a Mulberry store once I'm in London - I'm hoping the mini Alexa will be big enough for my needs); Isabel Marant Dicker ankle booties (WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY are these sold out everywhere? I have two pairs of "inspired-by's" but they just aren't as awesome, and I must have them.)

Inspired by my serious need to save money for my London trip, I've decided that I'm going to drastically reduce the amount of cheap clothes I buy (well, my bank account would disagree that I ever buy anything "cheap." So cheaper.) so that I'll be able to save up and afford luxury items like the aforementioned Mulberry bag and Isabel Marant booties.

Things I Used to Love and Have Since Been Ruined for Me by Other People
The Ting Tings; Lily Allen; Oscar Wilde; James Joyce; cupcakes; numerous restaurants in New York City; Tom Ford; Law & Order; Criminal Intent; The Sound of Music; strawberry pie; the entire states of Connecticut, Texas, Pennsylvania and California; Legally Blonde; What I Like About You; ironically watching Secret Life of the American Teenager; The Libertines; Babyshambles; Arctic Monkeys; The Last Shadow Puppets; Starbucks; frozen yogurt; elephants; owls; Screwdrivers; penguins; candlelight yoga; Dunkin Donuts; Breakfast at Tiffany's; James Franco; James Dean; American Beauty; My Own Private Idaho; Gilmore Girls; Halloween; A Clockwork Orange; picnics in Central Park; Rushmore; Men in Tights

Happy Easter!

Since I'm going back to school today, we had an Easter dinner with my mom's family at our house yesterday. What I wore:
Dress is by To Be Adored; heels are Dolce Vita. It's an absolutely lovely dress, except it's a little big (I got a small, but I'd need an XXS for it to fit right) so it looks way better belted..even though my belt is too big as well. Oops.

no one is free; even the birds are chained to the sky

I recently decided that I am in desperate need of dusty pink denim.

Topshop has a pair, but unfortunately their regular line of denim only goes down to 25 and I need a 23-24, and they don't seem to have that color in petite. Jean shopping is pretty much the worst, no? Second only to bikini shopping.

I will never understand why Victoria's Secret insists on using harsh, fluorescent lighting in their dressing rooms, since the only thing looking in the mirror makes me want to do is curl up into a fetal position and start sobbing.






The lipstick is Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Monte Carlo, a Passover present from my parents. It's SO pretty and I love the formula; unfortunately it doesn't last that long, but the color is really unusual and unlike any of my other lipsticks so it's worth it.
