Tail end of winter shopping:
- a pair of grey suede boots...something like the Nina Ricci ones, but I'm not paying $700 (sorry, not after my Xmas & January sprees!). Boutique 9 had a cute pair but they are gone everywhere. I've been scouring yoox.com, and found a few promising matches.
- a black patent pair of oxford heels. I keep stalling inexplicably, but since I see they will also be huge next year, I want to invest in a nice pair now.
- in addition, either a cream-colored or bold-hued pair of oxfords for spring.
- Ann Demeulemeester white sandals (going to buy this week)
- Diesel spectator mary jane heels from yoox.com. They are annoyingly ontrend, and I've developed an urge to fill this niche in my shoe family.
- JUST ONE TSE or Malo or LPF black cashmere sweater. Preferably a cardigan.
- But, it will probably end up being a Vince cardigan.
- Purple jeans. Don't know. Just need them.
- The MBMJ trench in Blue Fox. I know it's a pipedream, though, as it is long sold out. If you see one, let me know!!!
SPRING:
- the DVF Mondrian dress (or skirt)
- Alberta Ferretti t-straps from NAP ($700)

- MMM's L'Incognito glasses. Um, yes I will actually wear them.

- "Basics" from Balenciaga, Helmut Lang, DVN, MM6. This might include things such as solid, quality fabric shells, tees, shorts, skirts. etc. I notice yoox is a decent supplier for this particular demand.
- The MBMJ red demiwedges, eternally on sale at NAP.
- A new purse...either a Luella or MJ bag this time.
- Fabulously cut white trousers. Recommend a brand. I want a Kate Hepburn-envy worthy pair.
- The "right" black skirt for spring. Still don't know if this means it will be a pencil, a mini, a straight mini, a full-skirted, tiered number or what.
- Yellow. Just whatever I can find.
- An evolved corset belt. The particular 3.1 PL variety I've been leaning towards won't look right by next year. I need something less dramatic, more moderate, but still eyecatching.
- The Da Vinci pencil skirt from Nanette Lepore. It's navy, but it will go with everything.
- Chloe's neon crisscrossed sandals.
- The Lanvin bow tee.

- A few of the sundresses from MBMJ's resort and spring lines.
- new pairs of "classy" tailored shorts to wear. Online shopping is helpful for this, because designer shorts can be found for bargain prices, I notice.
- the perfect pair of sailor jeans. just one pair.
