i just bought the francoise hardy jacket from mirror/dash by kim gordon

mirrordash.com

 

[caroulemapoule]

I am so sad, the seller with the Bal Envelope wasn't very co-operative, and I got a full refund today. She wanted me to pay in some other way than paypal, but I said no to that. So I am not getting my bag

I bought this jacket from the topshop.com sale, I took the picture from the site:

that's so diappointing caroule!

i know you were really excited about the bag and would have gotten a lot of use out of it..

the-smiths i agree with hanne.. the muted colors are what make that rug really special and different.. nice purchase

kisa i really like that little turquoise bag! it's nice to see that style out and about...
though i love carrying around all my stuff in my nice big bags i think it's good to have some downsizing options

i got a really great across the body small bag this summer... i haven't worn it yet but i think i will soon...
i'm trying to transition to something smaller for every day...

^Have you tried barneys.com? They have a few Balenciaga envelope clutches now.

 

[caroulemapoule]

Rochas: No, I got it for approximately half price, I think it is too expensive if I have to pay full price And I live in Denmark, so I would have to pay a lot of duties.

Chrissy: Thanks I know I would have loved it too...

Well. In dark blue of course, not black

Sorry to hear about the Bal, caroule but good job only agreeing to pay through paypal. It's just shady otherwise.

These are technically not my own buys, but I did pick them out as gifts! So that sort of counts right? It's exciting but not. They are classics, so not so exciting, but I've been wanting them ages.

Classic Ray-ban aviators with gold frame/green lens.

and Frye 8R Engineer boot. Had so much trouble finding these in the size/color I wanted but I finally did and got 25% off as well from UO:

Uniq: I hope you will love the feather top just as much as I do. It is wonderful! and I am happy to hear that you've solved your issues with paying at the topshop site.

 

[Velony]

UNIQ, can't wait to see pics esp. of the current/elliott jeans. I'm thinking about buying a pair myself. Which style did you get?

Ditte, I'm actually thinking about buying the feather top myself. I ordered the suede/feather vest a while ago but I might return that and buy the top instead.

 

[Hanne]

what a coincidence! I just started a thread on current/elliott denim

 

[Velony]

Hanne, can you read my mind? I actually intended to start a thread yesterday but then I forgot about it. Thank you!

I ended up buying this dress on an impulse just now:

I dunno, I've just always wanted a dress like this. Images from gilt.com

 

[rochasfille]

^I love that dress - am thinking about it in another color for myself. Great purchase!

I am always buying but this is the very first time I post one of my buys here. My new K by Karl Lagerfeld belt bought this very same afternoon! It´s soooo kitsch I just had to have it!!!
