[Hanne]

Avid followers of the Secret Shopaholic thread, New Bag purchases! and similar threads will have noticed that some items quickly become tFS must haves..

Examples

Seeing trends in our little micro fashion cosmos is very interesting.. the items that we crave often transcends geographical location and social background..

If you're noticing/remember tFS must have trends (bought by more than 2 tFS'ers) please share

Great idea for a thread, Hanne! I would have the first four pieces if I could

Great idea for a thread! This will be great for tracking tfs trends. It's interesting to note that some items are posted here, and then people go out to search for that item. But other times, several people will have bought the same item completely independently.

QuickyCool and I both has this Etoile Isabel Marant top in black, while softgrey and LoveLetter have it in ivory

I have this Dries top in black, Luckyme and GucciGal have it in white, and I think softgrey has it in grey, if I remember correctly.

pic is my own

i love both shirts......
but i didn't get the dries top because i saw it here...you know?

laika and i have quite a number of the same pieces..
but it really didn't have anything to do with tFS...
because we both just went off individually and came home with the same things without ever speaking or posting about it beforehand....

which in a way- is pretty awesome!...


there is also that dries knotted top that i got and now tourist has..

 

[tourist10]

^ right! I think for both the Dries and Etoile top, most everyone bought it without realizing that others had it ... which means that those items are just that good! Whereas, with the Dries knot top, I'd never seen it until softgrey posted it

 

[softgrey]

right- but to be honest tourist..
i would never have seen that IM blouse we all have if runner had not posted it...
so even though i didn't know any of you guys were getting it...
it was tFS where i saw it- thanks to mr runner.....

here's the dries knotted top...

 

[softgrey]

there are a LOT of things from the simply Vera by Vera Wang thread that a LOT of tFS-ers have bought...

except- if you look there....
it seems that most of us have all gotten DIFFERENT pieces actually..
which is pretty interesting imo...

i don't think anyone here got ANY of the things i got...
and i got at least 5 things.......

 

[luckyme]

I know a bunch of us got these chloe shoes

style.com

 

[softgrey]

omg- they are too high for me......

i got a much lower version in patent with a slingback...

 

[luckyme]

that's what is so neat about all these items is that we bought the version that suited us. mine aren't that high either...

I've got the rick owens leather jacket
the first dries top and hopefully the tie one is on its way to me any day now...B)

 

[softgrey]

i think laika has the exact ones i got actually...
laika and i are like tFS twins...

...

laika and i also have the same vanessa bruno dress...

 

[shoegal87]

what about the miu miu mary janes this summer??

 

[luckyme]

these?

right- but to be honest tourist..

here's the dries knotted top...

Gee...it is THE perfect top

 

[joiedemode]

Still dying for that Phillip Lim

 

[emma peel]

woops, i got the chloe tie wedges AND the lower slingbacks that softgrey got too!

i seem to be one of the culprits of the must haves

and all of them are staples of my wardrobe now!

i have to admit that marant gray top is sooo tempting. (tomorrow i'm wearing a similar leather j. lindenberg top styled like that with cashmere fingerless opera gloves )

we ALL have great taste and come here to share it-- sometimes inspiring each other, often revealing secret stashes and scores/deals around town and worldwide. great thread!

 

[emma peel]

specific jean brands seem to be a common must-have too:

gray sass&bide frayed misfits (two years ago's must have)

tsubi skinnies with zipper ankle (last year's must have)

jbrand lovestory flare (this year's must have)

 

[keroppi]

OMG that Rick Owens leather jacket is too die for!

 

[pucci_mama]

I remember a white "parachute" jacket from Junya Watanabe that quite a few members got. This was ages ago.

I have the first Rick Owens jacket... it really got popular on tfs.
