My cardi spree is starting to get outta control - I have a feeling I won't know when to stop.  Would've preferred a hunter green, but this is pretty too, and they're not mutually exclusive.  May be slightly small, but meh, I'll stretch it out.  

T, 6/2/11:  congrats!  I know you prefer cashmere, but it's nice that it's cotton so it's easy to care for.

Madewell The Scholar Satchel

Length: 12.5"
Height: 8"
Depth: 4"
Strap Drop: 22"
Retail: $138 (shopbop.com)

Saw this on bagsnob (linked), and lurved . . . it's reminiscent of the mulberry (another bucketlist bag purchase -- gotta love that flap) + ps1.  If I weren't such a jew right now, I'd consider buying it since it's within my price range for purses; it's a good size; and it hangs with that hipster/student/I'm-cool-but-I'm-not-trying swag.  But hey, I got my Kieselstein Cord to satisfy my tan/brown flapover craving, right?!  C'mon avelle . . . gimme some sugar.

J. Crew Spring 2011 Collection: Sequin Long Skirt (Fabsugar Linked)

 

Retail: $2500

So what if fabsugar says: "As far as sequins go, this is likely the most impractical way to wear them."  This skirt is f*ing gorge.  The overwhelming amount shine and sparkle will make any gurrrl fall in lurrrrrve (and of course, I lurrrrve maxis).  Obv, at $2.5k (the retail of my Kieselstein Cord, what what!), I would never buy . . . but I can wish/want/admire from afar.  And see it from afar, too, because it's so razzledazzle.  Maybe since it's so "impractical," I'll see it on discount at some outlet store and snatch it up . . . in my dreams.

A -- 2/3/11: Per our custom -- Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Now...

You know I will always support sequins, bc sequins = sparkly, and sparkly = me w/my mouth agape, going "ooooohhhhh".  Seriously, I once was strolling outside w/friends, looked down, saw that sparkly concrete shit that they pave some street with, and automatically went "oooohhh sparkly".  This skirt is like sparkly to the nth degree, so if I ever see it in person, it might hypnotize me.

J Crew Factory Baby Blue Men's Sweater

Material: 100% Cotton

Price I Paid: $31.15 (includes tax)

Website Price: $32.50 + 30% Off + $6.95 S&H = $29.70 (without tax)

My theme for this yr's xmas gift giving was "what would I want" . . . this is prob the gift I would "want" the least and thus am least enthused about giving, but the color is diff/pretty enough, it's classic, and I know broham can/will use it.  At first, I was annoyed that the website price was so much cheaper, but I guess S&H kills it (tho it's free S&H on orders of $150+, but c'mon now, I'm not buying $150 worth of stuff).

The Look For Less: Dannijo Dean Cuff Bracelet

Dannijo Dean Chain Cuff ($240)

Madewell Chain Cuff ($15, orig $24)

Saw this on fabsugar.  Finally, a "look for less" that actually works.  While I'm not a big jewelry person, I really like this.  Not enough to order online, but if there were a Madewell nearby (like in NY, where I can walk by Madewell and pick it up easily), given the price, I'd totes get this.
