my greed gets in the way of giving.




i think it's amazing how i manage to find only perfect things for myself when i'm supposed to be shopping for others.

i really am a considerate person. really. i'm just awful at exhibiting it.

channeling my inner samantha jones.

just when i decide my daily dose of daily candy is becoming too much to handle (as in a daily chore when mixed in with a thousand other daily reads), something like this comes along.

i appreciate any e-mail that comes chock-full of cheeky euphemisms like triangle's tresses, sensitive lady place and fuzzy éclair.

sensitive lady place... that's my favorite.

so for all you sensitive ladies out there, via today's candy, i bring you color for the hair down there.

sofa of my dreams.

i've been wanting to post this for a week.

i absolutely love it, and, if i had an extra 4k laying around, it would be mine.

print is marimekko.

perfection.

newsflash: it's fashion week in new york.

i cannot stop thinking about this dress. i can't figure out what it is about it... it just is.

[sorry about chiming in on fashion week so late in the game. i've been a bit out of it, i guess. i'll come up with some more thorough, late-breaking fashion commentary this weekend. you're welcome.]

from michael kors spring 2007 collection.

back. with more boots.

i know i've been THE worst blogger lately but please forgive me. i haven't given up on consumerism, i promise. i've just been... well, consumed.

i discovered these boots earlier in the week and have vowed to go back for them. a good fall boot, i think.

more from augustine.

augustine recently introduced their fall line. i adore these leggings, but i think their spring line was much more me [i especially loved this sweater and jacket].

either way, there's much to be liked.

wanting these badly.

i want these in rich plum and emerald green. is that satin? yes.

[also worth noting...these ring-thong sandals, which are similar to a pair my friend ashley wore recently. i love that ring!]

really into navy lately. i'm loving dress no. 2 the most.

ahhh i want it now. and the sleeves on no. 1... love that.

and then dress no. 3 is very cute and basic.

all from forever21 and all very cheap.

super cheap skirt.

what a fun pattern and a great price (although it wasn't so bad, pre-sale).

my sister shirt.

i don't do a lot of florals when it comes to tops (...or anything). but, come to think of it, i rock the solids way too often, so maybe i should branch out into pattern every now and then.

but really, i just wanted to share this shirt because it shares my name and nothing ever does.

september!

today has been the best day of the month so far (with sept. 1 coming in at a close 2nd). it's overcast and cool (in the 70s!) and all-around gorgeous.

no fortune in the cards.

i really don't get the concept of placecard holders. it's more like i just don't believe in them. but i do have a weird lobster placecard holder on my desk at work and it currently holds a bundle of fortunes. maybe these would be more appropriate fortune holders.

swallow!

right on...birds are super fun.

no?

i think so! the longest day at work means i deserve a silver birdy brooch. who knows! silver bird brooch.
