-Dresses + Skirts, -Other »
I went back and forth on this skirt for a few weeks. Picked it up at Macy’s for $35. How can you go wrong with 100% silk for $35? It sat in my closet for a couple of weeks while I tried to decide if it made me look like a hippie (and I hate hippies). Normally I am against tiered skirts, but it was very comfortable, plus inexpensive, plus it was SILK. I figured a nice top and a pair of killer heels will suck the …
-Jewelry, -Kenneth Cole »
Like any girl, I love jewelry, but I have a hard time spending money on costume jewelry because I have a tendency to run out without putting any on. On top of that, I don’t buy bracelets often. I have freakishly slender wrists, so most bracelets fall right off (or at least look bizarre).

This photo was taken of me when I went to the Madonna concert. I was hoping to be the shiniest …
-Shoes »

Luckily I like Beyonce, so I had no problem buying these shoes. When I saw these, I fell head over heels in lust with them. Friends and family were shocked – these are possibly the girliest shoes I own. Far frillier than ANYTHING in my closet.
After hubby told me it was ok to buy them (they weren’t too …
-Marc Jacobs, -Shoes »
Another Marc Jacobs shoe that I had lusted over at the beginning of the season, but managed to get on sale. I had seen it on the sale rack at Bloomies, but managed to keep walking. When I returned a week later, it was still there. That was a sign – I snapped them up without delay. They look a million times cuter on (not sure how that is possible, but it is). The heel is chunkier than I normally wear, but it is very …
