For my own use just so I don't forget (not that I will, just in case):

Ray Ban Small Wayfarer - black, white?
London Sole SALE white patent flats @ La Bella
Lovcat tuxedo cream/black wallet (need wallet badly) SALE @ La Bella

And damn me for not getting the Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent black belt at the sale. Similar no name ones are like $65!

Really? $100-300 for this? I mean, it has a good idea behind it. Save the earth by not using plastic blags, blah blah. But are women bidding on it because it's so earth friendly? I don't think so. This bag was like $15 retail. Does anyone waiting in line for this bag really love the earth that much? Couldn't a real earth lover just get any old tote bag at like the swap meet for $5 instead of waiting in the lines that were going up Robertson Blvd's ass a few Wednesdays ago? What's the hype? Is it just because it's been all over the Internet and in magazines that's making it so popular? There's one on eBay that sold for $355. REALLY. Am I missing out on something here? I saw one in person last week. There was this woman waiting for the elevator with me in my building and was carrying one in addition to her (Marc Jacobs) purse. It looked the same as it does in the pictures. Nothing special. I just don't get it. Kinda like open-toe boots.

KORK EASE. I first came across these some months back at Saks. I love the classicness (is that a word? Well now it is) of it and how it goes with everything. It also looks comfortable and although it isn't the cheapest (approx. $188), they're so timeless they'll last for a long time. They also come in tons of colors, even metallics. Get em everywhere, Zappos, for one.

Overwhelmed. It's the best word to describe how I feel when I walk into malls like South Coast Plaza or on websites like Net-A-Porter. I'm bombarded with Chloe, Louboutin, 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent, Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Stella McCartney, Marni, and a million more. What's a girl to do? I want it all so badly that it gives me a headache. And heartache. Since Fat Bitch is also Poor Bitch. I feel like I'm not living up to my fashion potential. Sadness.

At least Alice Temperley and Erin Fetherston will soon release their goodies for Target. Even then it's a race to the store and website to the snag the goodies.

Not that I have $406 to spend, but I'm still sad that these Miu Miu flats are sold out. Well except for a size 39, but who wears a 39? I kept seeing them on Glam.com ads and I loved them every time. Goodbye Miu Miu flats.

Summer isn't my favorite. It's so hot that when I wear dresses or shorts, my thighs sweat buckets onto my leather seats and they become sort of a slip-n-slide. I know, I know. I'm irresistible. Not so much.

I CAN'T wait for fall. I love fall clothing, and the magazines agree. The biggest issues are fall issues and they're packed with everything. Except what's up with the open-toe boot? They're in August's Lucky and other magazines as well, but really? Boots are typically worn in the fall and winter since it's cold. So what's the point of the open toe? I mean I know fashion isn't all about practicality, but the open-toe boot doesn't even look good. Especially the ones where only one toe shows (gross).

Fall also brings the next Project Runway! And Alice Temperley for Target (have you seen her stuff? Go to pressroom.target.com). And no more sweaty thigh syndrome.

And this is completely off topic, but I'm listening to Duncan Sheik's "Barely Breathing". It reminds me of sunny days and no worries, aka the 90s. Click on the link to go to the video of the song.
