I have bought a few new things.

these amazing brown suede cowboy boots with a tiny kitten heel, tons of slouching/ruching and snakeskin-like details

black cable knit tights (to wear with the boots and a black off shoulder banded bottom tunic dress)

a new black fairy hem skirt with foldover waistband (I had one similar but ripped the back of it on a nail on a fence the other day.)

and my FAVORITE! a deep teal velvet bolero jacket with ruffled edges and big cuffs with oversized teal buttons

very very good shopping...!!!

i love how you call it a 'fairy' hem skirt ...instead of handkerchief hem...that's so sweet...

i found the most gorgeous 30's black satin [silk satin... very heavy and lux] dress today.... i love dumpster diving! the dress is draped, and slinky and cut to perfection and in pristine shape. there is so much going on in the dress- such detailed construction.. what i love about it is that it doesn't look dated. if i had to price it the way most vintage retailers would, i would say someone would pay at least a $1000 for it. it is lovely! i am so excited... what a find!

I've bought this beautiful blue Prada coat with a very intresting and exquisite pineapple print and some fur and beads on the collar

[snapback]348297[/snapback]​

love that coat, great shape...beautiful! did you buy the little striped belt they showed it with on the runway?

i loved the prada coats this season, and i may get the shearling coat with whiskey mink trim and crystal collar...

anyways, your coat is

 

[chanel_girl]

Thank you and just to let you know that shearling is pretty much sold out in sizes 46,44,42,40 but I think they might have a few 38's left but I'm not sure and I didn't get the striped belt but I the coat

 

[pradaromance]

my haul at Loehmanns

Versus (Versace) dress: 17.99 -30% then I have a coupon for 20% off . End up paying like 10 bucks or so for this. Is this real Versace dress or some fake brand???

FCUK jeans: 16.99 then 30% off then 20% off : so it's around 10 bucks

FCUK denim skirt: 16.99 then 30% off = $11 or so

I tried to buy some Cartier and Hugo Boss (Blue)perfume but the cashier didn't let me get 30% off. She was mean!!!

 

[Kimkhuu]

A pair of Miss Sixty jeans.

They have like this huge silver button in the front. Gosh, these are like SUPER long, I'll get it cut at the bottom tomorrow, but these jeans are weird, I need them to be a bit flared at the bottom to wear with sneakers, but they seem to be like quite tight at the bottom .

I bought it at this downtown store which also carries D&G clothing. Gosh, I didn't know D&G made those ugly logo plastered cotton hoodies.

I know which MS jeans u talking about, they have bunch at my Loehmann but it's too long for me. I like the button

Yeah, I got the dress for $10 but it doesn't fit me and it has some tearing at both sides. Didn't see that when I bought it. Gonna return it.

Über-Gothic or Industrial looking. I can't pull off wearing this style myself but I think it looks great on people who can.

 

[tangerine]

I have been on a tear:

James Perse long sleeve tee, dark blue-grey with "inside-out" seams
Notify Jeans, dark with slight distressing, they look a little like 7s but without the flashy back pocket stitching. The back pockets are set low and have rivets on both sides.
A small shoulder bag from Diesel, blue canvas with sand-colored trim in leather and canvas.
A belt, also from Diesel, a dark color that I think is purplish-brown and two people at the store said was faded black and grey, respectively. I can't really describe it, I will try to post a pic later.

I haven't really liked the recent men's Diesel jeans, but they are doing some really nice stuff with accessories IMO.

i think its time for some bags B)
