One more time

Thrifted sweater; J'adore Dior tank; Navajo Stripe leggings from Nasty Gal; Jeffrey Campbell
Nation boots from Shopbop; Rayban sunglasses; Urban Outfitters hat; Paul & Joe for Target bag

Hi guys! It's me again, standing in the snow in my favorite leggings from Nasty Gal (Xmas gift from the BF, doesn't he have good taste?) and my over-worn sweater. I took these pictures this morning, but maybe I should've waited until this next snowpocalypse blows through. We're supposed to get around 14 inches of snow and ice tonight, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit excited. I'm looking forward to a night of reading blogs and drinking way too much hot chocolate!

Currently Craving: Chav-tastic

*The perfect turban (both @ Babooshka Boutique)
*Blatant, gaudy name-brands (J'adore Dior tank @ Ebay)
*A neck full of chains (Bolera Body Chain @ Armor Jewelry, Chain fringe necklace @ Urban Outfitters)

I'm not craving particular things at the moment, but more ideas of perfect things, that likely don't exist in the real world. For example, the perfect turban. In my head, I envision it to be somewhat like Carrie Bradshaw's turban in SATC2, but less sparkly and vacation-y and more everyday wear. I have no idea what that would look like in front of me - still figuring that part out. But I do love all of the Babooshka Boutique turbans over at Etsy!

I'm also craving the perfect in-your-face, gaudy designer item. Like a J'adore Dior tank (also inspired from SATC2), or those Chanel CC sandals that came out a few years ago (as seen on Nitrolicious). Anything sort of chavvy like that, I'm loving right now! I've got to try to dig up my old Burberry hat from high school... I wish I was kidding!

And chains, an old classic - the more, the better! If I had $275 laying around, you better believe that I'd be wearing that Armor Bolera chain around - and probably building up some impressive back muscles by doing so! How heavy do you think that would be? Well, however heavy, it'd be worth it for sure!


PS: There is a winner for the SATC2 On Location Tours tickets! Congrats to Dee of All That Lace! Enjoy!!

Dior Haute Couture S/S 2009

Paris Haute Couture shows have begun with a bang, along with a "let them eat cake" mentality! There was definitely no sign of a recession today at the Dior Couture show. Here's what Galliano had to say about it:

Of course I’m sensitive to the economy. Of course I’m aware of it. I read the newspapers; I watch TV, but [dealing with it] is not my job. My job is to do the best I can to show the possibilities of Dior. When you’re standing in a hurricane, you have to keep your feet firmly on the ground. If you panic, whew…you fly away.

Check out the whole collection here, it is so very romantic and whimsical - I would love to have a Valentine's Day date that warranted the wear of one of the gowns above! Check out the intricate pleating and folds - there's nothing like Couture!
