Wake me when sale ends?

Sale is one of those things. One of those things like someone telling you that for today only you can consume as many cupcakes as you can stuff in your mouth because they all have 80% fewer calories. Tempting? absoultely! Likely to give you a nasty case of gut rot and sugar coma induced regret-also likely. I did not intend for this to be a rant, because well, I do love a great deal. But be forewarned! you may not want to buy 15 pairs of flip flops, or fill your closet with bikinis just because that's exactly what the retailers want you to do and who likes doing as they're told?

I have instead selected some cupcakes pieces I wanna schtuff in my closet and use for fall, or classics still good(preservatives?) for next year. Some cupcakes even a diabetic can enjoy. Today I scoured the last remnants from Shopbop. Check back for the next installation of "I'm poor and obsessed with nice things and will grasp at rejects of rich women I'm scared of".

February....Pre-fall. Either way. I want you.

Is it just me or is this weather terribly traumatizing? No it's not that I like cold harsh winters, but it's cold one minute, warm the next. It teases you to drag out your little leather bomber, and then bam! You're scraping an inch of snow off of your car while trying to not get snow into your suede booties. So to completely avoid the wardrobe troubles this time of year brings. I'm just giving it the big ol' eff this, and moving on to fall. So here are some of my favourites from both pre-fall and fall, because if I can't wear my brights and pumps now I don't even want to be thinking about them. So there, take this February.

Rag and Bone Pre-Fall

There will undoubtedly be a continuation as I sort through the insert fashion simile here collections of FW 2012. I would also like to try my luck at finding some cheap goods for spring for us normal non-front row types(it wont stop me from obsessing over these though). If you'll indulge me-yes there was a lot of what is to be expected for fall winter, luxurious fabrics, leather, fur, dark rich colours etc. BUT there is something to be said for some designers letting us live out those bright summer nights(take a look-see oversized houndstooth at House of Holland), and decidedly telling us to suck it up because your ankles are gonna freeze all season, and you're going to love it.

Marni Maybe?

A little look at what Marni's up to for Spring 2012...

Planning for the Marni/H&M Collection

The little peep of organza was a constant in the whole collection

This is my favourite- it just reeks of Man Repellant

Want.
