Thanks Hanne! I got my bags in store, at two different branches of Lord & Taylor department stores. I remember they used to sell the Dreyfuss line online on their website, but no longer. I feel like they are slightly harder to find at the moment and I'm not sure why, the usual websites (Tender Birmingham, Shopbop) were all sold out.

Zarina - the tunic is truely very 1000 and 1 nights fairytales .. the fasinator is very intersting.. latex ? hmm.. do we even have a thread on fasinators ??
The mouse ears are too cute.. and I'm dying to know the number/name of the chanel lippy

Thank you Hanne

Went to SoHo to exchange my APC dress (I know you meant well mom, it just didn't flatter me) for a different one...

ended up with this but in green:

Also picked up another pair of their ribbed tights in maroon...I am officially done with APC this season, but excited for next!

I decided to browse some other sales while in the neighborhood and wow, it seems almost everything is on sale. So overwhelming!

I found the softest gray wool trench on sale at Uniqlo for $60! Pretty excited about it because my winter coat is about 3-4 years old and looking pretty shabby. The only new coat I'd purchased this year is more of a Fall coat, so now I have something warm.

Contemplating ordering some stuff from Asos.com but after paying a ton of bills today I probably should cool it. Temptation!

Ohh.. Zarina the Alberto Fasciani boots .. if you dont have Alberto Fasciani boots already.. be ready to have to wear them in (or take them to a shop).. they are typical italian.. rather narrow over the arch.. I made the mistake of not having them stretched for me.. so wearing them.. the first few months was rather painful..

Hebden: I wanted that in the purple color, but it sold out too fast It is a lovely bag!!

Thanks for the tip!
I tried on some other Fasciani styles in the shops and I had the same experience so I have ordered a half size up since I want space for thick socks and maybe even a lamb fur insole. Hope they won't be too long then.

Hanne, thank you for the compliment!
Zarina, Alberto Fasciani boots are amazing!!!!

 

[FASHIONLOVA]

zarina: love the boots. those handmade ones look like ones by Lanvin

 

[aris]

does anybody know what H means next to the shoe size? like 38H, 40H??

 

[pavement]

^I assume it means 'half'.

thanks hanne! I took a few pics, I'll take more when I get stuff back from the tailor and a few things in the mail and then do another pic parade. I'm not sure yet how the yigal azrouel jacket is going to turn out, my tailor does good work at a reasonable price but takes soo long.

zarina, love the pink and grey top.

 

[ms-nietzsche]

I've been eyeing this jacket for some time and finally gave in and ordered it.

Thanks everybody

Yes, they look a bit like the Lanvins but without the built in wedge, which I dislike about the Lanvins since it imo kind of disturbs the proportions of the foot. MJ also did a version of this ballerina style boot.

I recently bought some stuff but this is the only item I have pics of at the moment.

Sergio: I love it. Where is it from?

I bought this cardigan from H&M trend on sale with -70%.
