“Sample Sale” Sites

January 21st, 2010

012110_1

So, I have an addiction lately.  To all of those “sample sale” sites!  I am fricking obsessed with checking them!  I have bought a couple of things, but there are so many things I am in love with and somehow scrounge up the strength to resist purchasing.  By “sample sale” it is really more like “last season sale” but I really don’t care.  Here are some things that are currently on them that I’m jonesing for.

1.  This dress by Alexia Admor on Ideeli:  I am usually not into this sort of style, but I love the way this one looks!  It looks very flattering and feminine.  Alexia Admor has a ton of other cute dresses on their site, as well.  (here is an invite link, if you’re not a member)

2.  This bag by SamSara on Beyond the Rack:  I guess samsara is like… a cheaper brand by matt and nat.  I really was considering getting this and then it sold out!  It is the perfect size to fit a laptop or a couple of notebooks for class.  Sad it is gone :-/.  (here is an invite link, if you’re not a member)

3.  This Marc by Marc Jacobs dress on Gilt:  Omg, this dress has been on Gilt twice, and both times I haven’t been able to snatch it up quick enough.  I literally speed walked out of my last class to make it in time for this sale, clicked on it, and it was out of my size >:{.  They have a ton of other lovely marc by marc things up right now though!  (here is an invite link, if you’re not a member)

4.  This Cathrine Malandrino dress on Rue La La:  I can’t believe how low this dress is marked.  I love the color and the little ruffles all over and the little baby sleeves.  Definitely on my radar!  (here is an invite link, if you’re not a member)

5.  This sideboard by Coast to Coast on Hautelook:  Okay, so I am always obsessed with clothes, but they have some cool furniture and such also!  I would love love to buy this, but I can’t even imagine how much they are charging for shipping.  For now I will just drool.  (here is an invite link, if you’re not a member)

So… I highly suggest you check out these sites if you want a new shopping addiction.  You may not find something you are in love with the first time you check them, but if you check them periodically, you can get some really great deals!  Just shop in moderation :) .

In other news, I just checked the fridge at school (we have a lounge area for MBA students) and some fricking doucher stole the muscle milk I put in there this morning.  I literally had it in there less than two hours before it disappeared. How uncool is that?!?  So now I am grouchy and hungry and totally annoyed.  >:{.

Alphabet Soup: B is for Barbie

July 3rd, 2009


I loved looking at the fabulous pictures from this Barbie fashion show.  No such thing as too much pink :) .



I haven’t played foosball in years, but I’d play it every day if I had a table like this!



I think Barbie would probably love this funky couch as much as I do.

Daily Outfit

June 28th, 2009

I’m a little bit obsessed with this scarf I got in Chinatown while in San Fran.  I’ve been wearing it all the time around my neck, mostly because I’m not daring enough to wear it starlet style, which is why I bought it in the first place.  Along the lines of not being daring, I bought these heels (jessica simpson, which I usually don’t like) to wear for my graduation and at the last minute decided I was too afraid I’d trip and fall whilst walking up the stairs.  Rest of outfit is h&m skirt, thrifted bag, sunglasses from urban, and shirt from kohls (I swear, all of my best collared shirts come from kohls).

Hope your Sunday is going well and amazingly lazy :) .



ps.  Oh my gosh, I completely forgot that today is Meeshu’s birthday.  I am embarrassed to say that my MOM actually called today to remind me.  Meeshu was probably lazily sadly lying around today, 16 candles-esqu, waiting for us to give him doggie treats and extra attention.  Oops :( .  Happy 4th birthday, Meeshu!

Alphabet Soup: A is for Aviation

June 27th, 2009



The costumes in The Aviator were so glam.  I love Cate Blanchett’s huge bow.



Am I the only person who didn’t know Amelia Earhart was a complete fox?


If I wore glasses (and had QUITE a bit of spare change) I would definitely sport the black persol aviators.



Luella makes aviation look fashion forward, but you can get this look for less.



Here is my aviator inspired look from polyvore.  Info here.




Next week: B is for Barbie

Victoria’s Secret: 40% of Sale Shoes

March 19th, 2009

I have a really bad I-NEED-shoes-even-though-I-have-100-pairs problem, and this newsletter from Victoria’s Secret telling me that all of their sale shoes are 40% off with coupon SAVE40 is just what I need to make me buy more shoes I don’t need.

So I’ve decided that even though I’m absolutely in love with the navy Fryes, I really don’t think my huge calves will fit in them, haha.  I like the floral dudes, but I don’t really see myself in them.  I really want the black ruffle pumps and I already have them in red and they are super comfortable, but I probably shouldn’t own the same pair of shoes in two colors, right?  I really like that cream oxford, so I might end up getting them (even though over I never get heels over four inches with a stilletto heel, which could be a problem for, you know, my poor feet).

Someone help me decide!

If you want some cheap shoes, visit Victoria’s Secret’s clearance shoe section and use coupon code SAVE40 before Sunday.  You can only use the code on one item per order, so make sure it counts!

Blue Owl Vintage

March 14th, 2009

I briefly noted that I’ve been interning at Blue Owl Vintage this semester, but I didn’t really show any pictures of how cute it is!  Here are a few pictures from my home away from home three days a week.

Dress Love

March 10th, 2009

I’ve been eyeballing this dress at Blue Owl Vintage aka where I intern at for a while.  I finally tried it on and loveeeee it.  It’s super comfy and a great length.  Lately I’ve been really into black and cream dresses, they always look classy together.  I can’t wait until Mr. Bossman comes back from vacation (he’s been in New York and I’ve been watching over the store) so I can buy it.
