Shopping

What to buy, and where to buy it. Simple as that.





IMPULSE BUY: PURE BLISS

Published on 10.22.11

To the artistic dresser, it is not about whether one prefers the classic or the abstract, but the depth of how he or she interprets any style. While I have been feeling passionate about all the leather and metal body jewelry as of late, I have been on the prowl for pieces with an added [...]

IMPULSE BUY: YSL NAPPA LEATHER BIKER JACKET

Published on 10.19.11

In my search for the perfect leather jacket, I have endured a quest more arduous than Odysseus’ journey home, stacked with more obstacles than a fairytale knight’s mission to save his damsel in distress. I have come across pieces at vintage shops that were too worn in, or new ones in boutiques in need of more wearing [...]

IMPULSE BUY: FALL MUST HAVES FROM STEL’S

Published on 10.18.11

It’s officially fall, which means my wardrobe is in need of a cool weather update. Naturally Stel’s, one of the best stores in Boston (or on the internet) had quite a few picks I was loving. Proceed to the want list: I might be a little too obsessed with boots, to be honest, but nothing says [...]

COVET OPS | MY SUELLY SLIMANE BAG

Published on 08.03.11

1. Size. 2. Functionality (shoulder strap, pockets, and compartments). 3. Texture (canvas and leather)! 4. Color. With fall’s rich and muted tones, this bag strikes the perfect pitch between statement and neutral. 5. A reasonable (in context) $698. SOLD!

COVET OPS | AZZEDINE ALAÏA LEOPARD PLATFORM BOOT

Published on 07.18.11

This Alaïa platform boot, via niche boutique aggregator farfetch.com, is just waiting for a big sweater and tights to keep it company. What can I say? I love that a $2109 french shoe can still feel a little J.Lo.

Stuart Weitzman Fall 2011 – Mixed Textures

Published on 07.06.11

Stuart Weitzman bits – I’m loving the shift to ostrich. Soft, mixed textures, platform heel bootie. Pretty, dang impressive. The incredible thing about it? It being work friendly and with enough shift in it to take you to an event at night. Lace up, ladies – prepare for fall and colder climates to come.

VIRGIN 4 LYFE: SNAG THIS URCHIN RAVER LOOK FROM VIRGIN BLAK

Published on 07.06.11

Oh. My. God. Seriously? I am not sure what to do with myself ever since I stumbled upon South Korean web store Virgin Blak, other than shop until friends and family members forcibly snap my laptop shut on my cramped, arthritic fingers. The site may be dedicated to menswear, but my penchant for pandrogynous nonsense [...]
