Jalouse June 2010

No doubt other bloggers have posted this, but i found it, and i love it.

Also, I was at my local Forever 21, and saw these miu miu lookalikes. Naturally, I had to have them and they are sitting very happily in my closet. A bit of a challenge to walk in, but totally worth it.

A love affair

The huge S-A-L-E letters on the windows of jcrew lured me through their class doors today. The additional 20% off helped me swallow the prices that I would normally NEVER spend, unless my mother was with me. So, for the first time ever, i bought something from jcrew. I have a strong feeling they will definitely not be the last. While items from forever 21 can be fun, and impulse buys, I found some beautiful pieces this afternoon at jcrew. Their clothes bring an interesting delicacy to staple pieces, or just a contrast.

example a) seersucker shorts with zippered pockets



example b) peachy-rosy-burnt orange colored skirt




example c) perfectly creamy, seafoam cardigan with silk edging





Each piece has an interesting quality, (the zippers, the color, the edging) which separate them from similar items, but are simple enough so I can wear them with anything. I have already developed a major crush on jcrew, and can foresee many hours in the future devoted to finding steals on their online store.

Also, you know the aritzia lookbook on studded hearts a while ago that I think we all fell in love with? (THIS ONE) well when I walked through a local mall today I don't usually frequent, and they have a store there! Considering I would fall in love with half their inventory, and my piggy bank would begin to cry, I decided to not torture myself and kept walking. It took a lot of self control.

Life's a beach

the "malibu" swimsuit at american apparel:




I got this at an AA rummage sale in my area recently. (the fluorescent one of course) I like one pieces because they are unexpected. While some people think they are reserved for those who aren't comfortable enough with their bodies for a bikini, I think they can often look better, classier?

Red Lips

I love how classic red matte lipstick looks. I end up putting it on often while avoiding school work. Blotting it with a piece of paper town makes it

perfectly matte.

And another photo that caught my eye:

rodarte x target

If my budget spontaneously multiplied, and Rodarte was suddenly in my price range, half of their RTW collections would hang in my wardrobe. Unfortunately my budget hasn't spontaneously multiplied.

BUT now its ok because now I have part of the Rodarte x Target collection in my closet.

I liked their tulle skirts, the black/floral halter dress and the leopard print dress.
My favorite piece in the colletion is now in my closet. I'm going to be excited about this dress for the rest of my life.






I'll post pictures of myself in it at some point.
New favorite thing in my wardrobe.

BEST PURCHASE EVER?

I might have made my favorite purchase in a long time, before I went away to camp, I bought a five pack of hanes mens vnecks at target for $10. love them so so much.
they all look like this:

I want to buy lots of cute necklaces to layer over them. Like this necklace I found at forever 21:

I think its adorable :)


More to come!
