The devil made me do it

OMG.

Harwin street  is Houston’s version of New York’s Canal street. The street is lined with hundreds of wholesale accessories, clothing, whatever you can imagine stores. My personal fave is “Accessory Plaza” (good luck finding that, every store on Harwin has some kind of generic name like that) Anyway I went a little nuts. I had to justify all the things I bought for myself by buying mother’s day gifts for all the women in my family. Still like 15 items later I managed to stay under $200. Here’s me getting my J-Lo in “ENOUGH” look going (lol)

Ebay score

One day after drooling over a client’s bejeweled parrot ring from Anthropologie, a coworker and I decided to search online, and by golly did we hit the jackpot, Elery Direct sells the exact same rings and much more at a fraction of the price that they retail for at Anthropologie. Some of the items aren’t that cheap but its still better than retail and Elery’s selection is amazing. 

Happy shopping loves!

Polyvore Consumerism

Polyvore is a great site, good time killer, good for being an educated consumer, bad if you have horrible shopping urges like me. I hadn’t logged on in a while but I did today, in an attempt to not get caught up in the gut wrenching Laker vs Jazz game , and got bombarded by amazing new products from a Japanese shop I never would have found on my own. 

Favorite item from eruca.jp

84,000 yen converts to $865… I was hoping for more like $86.50

Diana Vreeland, Superstar

Diana Vreeland has said some of the most honest things ever.  I had heard her name thrown around before, but it wasn’t before flipping through an editorial featuring some of her most famous quotes that I realized why this woman was so revered. She seems to have had a brutal honesty, which is needed sometimes, especially in the “fashion world.”  I still know very little about this legend but so far I think I quite like her.

All Quotes from the iconic Diana Vreeland

 

Blue jeans are the most beautiful things since the gondola. ”

Elegance is innate. It has nothing to do with being well dressed. Elegance is refusal. ”

I loathe narcissism, but I approve of vanity. ”

The only real elegance is in the mind; if you’ve got that, the rest really comes from it.

What do I think about the way most people dress? Most people are not something one thinks about. ”

You gotta have style. It helps you get down the stairs. It helps you get up in the morning. It’s a way of life. Without it you’re nobody. I’m not talking about a lot of clothes.

 

 

Great article about DV:

The Divine Mrs. V

Saw the above on Hypebeast and got very giddy, I bought B a pair for Christmas and hopefully I can add at least one of these styles to his collection, the paisley (not pictured… obviously) are a must, maybe not for him but possibly for me…even if they don’t make anything smaller than a 9, I’ll stuff!

…now I shall proceed to drool over goodies at Opening Ceremony
