Type of Bag I'd Like

I've been on the lookout for an easygoing yet sexy bag that has a flap like the Swak Shoulder Bag I found on sale at Anthropologie.

I think my desire for this type of bag springs from the fact that I only have one bag with a flap and it is teeny tiny (think wristlet small) and while I love my zipper close bags and my open top bags, I would really like one of these.

Plus...I'm freakin' bag-obsessed.

Awesome BR Sweater On Sale!

Check out this awesome Slouchy Cowl Neck Sweater!

It's a sexy cashmere-blend, comes in 3 awesome colors, and totally layerable (add a long sleeved tee under or a blazer/jacket over)!

I like how it's work-appropriate, but it would still look hot with jeans and a night out on the town.

Love it!

Chic Chillaxin' Sweater

Check out this cute Lightweight Wrap Sweater!

I love me a soft, drapey sweater that's easy to throw on over my fave jeans and a tank or tee combo.

Plus, the stripeys are pretty darn awesome.

Cute Sale Stuff from AX!

If you haven't already noticed, I love sales!

Here are my 2 fave items from the Armani Exchange sale.

Left: Pop Lined Knit Blazer (Originally $120, now $29.99!)

Right: Small Washed Leather Bag (Originally $165, now $49.99!)

2 Awesome Purses in 1!

Look how awesome this/these purse(s) is/are!


Left: Dasher & Dancer Purse ($578)
Right: Sly Fox Handbag (on sale! $299.95!)




So, you're using a largish tote during the day, but you want to go out later and you don't want to deal with switching all your stuff. Here's the answer...the snaps come off and voila! A new purse!!

I actually also prefer the one on sale (and not just because it's on sale). I like the 2-toneness of the browns and definitely MUCH more versatile. The red looks a lil too plastic-y (at least it does in the pictures).

Coupla Nice Deals

Here's some great deals for you!

Neiman Marcus is having an extra 30-40% off sale prices on select items! I personally love this Chetta B Piped Wrap Dress for a mere $71.

Another good deal is this Ann Taylor Cashmere Kimono Sleeve Sweater (only $49.99!). I definitely like the Dark Loden Heather color.

Awesome Dress

I love this demure adam+eve Tank Dress with Pockets. It's very sleek, sexy, and professional. I LOVE the pockets (just for the record, I hate the pose the model is making with the pockets) since I really enjoy strutting around with my hands in my pocket.

This awesome little dress would be perfect to wear alone or with a cute layer underneath (maybe the Old Navy Women's Lurex-Stripe Pintucked Tops, Gap Cap sleeve turtleneck T, or Banana Republic Silk Jersey Tie-Collar Top).

More Pricey Purses I Wish I Could Afford

L to R:
Fendi Canvas Buckle Evening Bag, Fendi Brown Zucca Pleated Mini Handbag, Marc by Marc Jacobs Washed Leather Roll Bag

Now, the problem with looking at REALLY expensive purses is that when you start looking at expensive purses, they don't seem as expensive any more.

For example, the Fendi Canvas Buckle Bag is $970 (seems cheap after looking at those Paddingtons!), the Fendi Zucca Pleated Mini Handbag is $636 (cheaper than the buckle bag...SCORE!), and the Marc by Marc Jacobs Washed Leather Roll Bag is a mere $398 (what a STEAL! Now I GOTTA buy it!).

Now only if my beloved would take that to be a good justification...

Cashmere Dresses

So, if cashmere sweaters are no longer enough to satisfy your cashppetite, maybe you'd like to try something more.

May I present the Cashmere dress! Same sexy, soft, sumptuous material...but more of it!

I loved the look of these 2 dresses...and then I noticed that they were made out of my favourite sweater material and now I'm obsessed!

The KAROO Mark Eisen V-Neck Wrap Dress is THE perfect sweater dress. It's like the DVF Wrap Dress in a yummy sweater form! Plus, I love the sexy flare sleeves!

I'm also a big fan of the Vince Cashmere Halter Dress. It would be great to wear to a party or, put a jacket over it and take it to work!

Also, these dresses would look awesome over leggings/skinny jeans/skinny pants and are oh-so-dress-up/downable! They go everywhere...and we know I loooooooooooove that!

Sudden Chloe Paddington Passion!

L to R:
Paddington in Nutmeg, Paddington in Tobacco, Small Paddington in Teak, Small Paddington in Black, Paddington Hobo in Taupe, Paddington Mini in Black

I know I'm way behind the curve, but forgive me...it's hard for me to get into things that are waaaay out of my price league (even though I've been a long time admirer from afar of the Chloe Paddington).

What got me going on the Paddington today was the Paddington Mini (far right), which I found while browsing around Neiman Marcus and I was thinking, "I really do love the Paddington...but I don't think a clutch/wristlet is worth $530."

So off I went...browsing around and looking at regular sized Paddingtons (for $1540!) and then I found a couple of "small" Paddingtons that are a couple inches smaller than the regular (which is PERFECT for me since I'm not exactly a big bag carrier) and are at a slightly smaller price point too ($1144! Wow!) - I definitely love the Teak!

Another cute member of the Paddington family is the hobo. It's definitely a great size for me and I love that it's identifiably Chloe Paddington but still unique and holding it's own!

Ohhhhh why can't I be a millionaire?!

I love these two tops! I want these two tops! I want to wear them separately! I want to wear them together! And they're priced the way I like things too...cheap!

Left: Sleeveless Turtleneck Sweater ($7.99!)

Right: Cap-Sleeve Wrap Sweater ($29.99!)

Hot Tamales!

I love me a hot, sexay top. I don't frequently wear hot, sexay tops, but I still admire the things.

This BCBG Max Azria Crinkle Silk Top definitely falls into the category of "hot, sexay top." The embroidery and lil mirrors add a lil sum'in sum'in to make this top unique.

Yumtastic!

Maybe I've Gone Crazy...

...but I think these are aaaaaaaaaaaaadorable.

These Airwalk® “Alpine” Twin Gore sneaker just looks so comfy and cozy with their faux fur lining and they have pretty embroidery...and they're slip on.

I'm probably just thinking about how awesome they'd be for driving to work in. Don't get me wrong, I love my Ugg-type boots, but they're kinda annoying to have to find socks for and to change in/out of.

Actually, come to think of it, that's probably why I'm kind of attracted to these Keds Eleanor Print Skimmers.

The easy access, automobile drivability (I don't enjoy driving in my heels), cute pattern, aaaaaand (probably most importantly) my warm tootsies!

I think I may prefer the Keds since they are a lil daintier.
