These ankle boots are divine. Soft material, a nice big bow, folded cuff and a sturdy but slender heel. My old black ankle boots, which I've had for 7+ years, are falling apart so I was long overdue for a new pair. What an upgrade <i>this</i> was. And how! Price-wise, these are a good deal for a pair of nice ankle boots. If you are a DSW Rewards member, these boots are even cheaper with a rewards certificate or coupon. And if you buy them online, they are eligible for free shipping.

My collection has already grown to about 10 and I would still buy more if I had the room and the money. Cloche hats are a great Fall/Winter accessory. They keep your head warm, they can complement your outfit and they are very eye-catching. And although the cloche-hat-wearing ladies of the 1920s and 1930s wore their cloches with short hair, I think these hats complement long hair too. The hat gives your head a very sleek uniform shape and out from the bottom comes this luscious wave of hair. Tres magnifique! Here are some lovely cloche hats, of various prices, that you can find online. And while they are not selling them online, I encourage you to check out the cloche hats in blue and purple at DSW.</span></span><br />

(At least, this is flattering for me..)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">And it's incredibly versatile. Worn alone with some pearls, an updo and a little clutch this would be an amazing dress to wear for a night out. But add a cardigan, slouchy tote and flats and it works perfectly for casual wear too! And for $26, how can you pass it up?!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">It's available in dark purple, dark green and black on Charlotte Russe's newly re-designed and finally easy-to-peruse website.

It's hard not to get sucked into this glorious world of berets, beautiful dresses, the first sightings of fall coats (my weakness!!) and gorgeous unnecessary kitchen accessories.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">ps. What does it say about me that I had the hardest time avoiding "rack" puns?</span></span><br /></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527469347255568937.post-26783023362996779482010-07-09T18:56:00.005-04:002010-07-09T19:04:14.828-04:00vintage sailor coat<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5bzKO2k1YVI/TDepizsDgiI/AAAAAAAAARQ/bf58sFN2wPU/s1600/sailor+coat.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5bzKO2k1YVI/TDepizsDgiI/AAAAAAAAARQ/bf58sFN2wPU/s400/sailor+coat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5492044686057243170" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-family: courier new;">I'm taking a page out of Kate's book and posting something I very much wish I could buy.

(insert grumbling noise...) It was only posted on Fred Flare today, so I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it's still in stock until August when I'm done saving up for my mom's and my grandmother's birthdays...<br /><br />Stay put, coat.

NATURALLY. It makes it easier to not spend my money, you know?</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">So today as I was lusting over this hat (among other things... let's not bring up the Modcloth dress, OK??) I thought I could easily combine two things:<br /><br />1) my desire to show off the things I'd like to buy without actually purchasing them and wearing them in public, and<br /><br />2) my desire to bring Spiffy back from the dead.<br /><br />And voila! There you have it -- a series of posts in which I share with you the things that I'm not buying; thereby sharing their loveliness with the world without spending money, and simultaneously breathing some life into our dear departed blog.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;">First up -- </span><a style="font-family: courier new;" href="http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=whatsnew_acc&product_id=2076599952&Page=1">Forever 21 Straw Cloche Hat -- $10.80</a><br /><br /></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2
