There are always things I have on a list titled "TO BUY", but somehow never buy. A lot of it has to do with the fact that there are thousands of things I want at any given time (materialistic bitch I am), and I only have limited dinero to do obtain them all. These are a few that have failed to make it into my hands and onto my body:

Hunter Wellies. I know a lot of the reason I haven't gotten them yet is because it rains maybe at the most, oh I dunno... 20 days a year in LA. Which would mean I could wear them for those 20 days (MAX), and that's it. You can't really wear wellies in bright sunshiny dry weather and land, can you?

Kork Ease Bette in chocolate. These are timeless (and so are the wellies) and the reviews on Zappos are CRAZY for them. They go with tons, are super comfortable despite the height, and are still stylish all at once.

Ahhh. The Ralph Lauren Boys blazer. I have one, actually. But the problem is it's meant for an 8 year old boy -- not 23 year old girls. I just need a larger size, so that I can actually move my arms without the armpit of the jacket digging into mine. It currently resides in the trunk of my car, waiting to be replaced by a larger sized one.

So the theme is a classic one. I guess I put off buying them because I know they'll always be around, so no hurry. But those blue crazy print Cynthia Vincent d'orsays? I snapped those up in a jiffy. I really need to prioritize my shopping list.

If I needed another pair...

I would totally get these Luella Retro tortoiseshell sunglasses. It's a nice change in shape from so many of the big oversized styles that have been around for who knows how long now, and of course the Wayfarer (not that there's anything wrong with either - I have both). And I'm a girly girl, so I heart the hearts.

Fat Bitch is so quiet you think she's dead?

I'm still here. Fashion surrounds me and dominates my mind constantly. Why I don't write abot it more? There's so much going on (fashion-wise) and so little time to do so. By the time I get to writing, fashion has changed a million times over and I don't even know where to start.

I've been on the quest to mix it up a little bit. I'm a denim whore, and while I still love denim, I need some other bottoms to change things up. Dresses, skirts, different pants, you know. I've also been buying a lot of basics. I love them, but they do get quite boring and predictable. I don't shop much at the juniors BP section at Nordstrom anymore, but the BP brand Rubbish has great fitting basic tees for cheap.

Do you ever feel guilty about buying magazines like Lucky or Elle because after you look through it you want EVERYthing and realize you should've put the $7 or so you spent on the magazines towards the fashion? Or is that just me?

Looking forward to fall. Fall is the best season for fashion. Coats and tights are my favorite. Every year it's almost the same... boots, tights, whatever. It's exhausting trying to keep up with the trends. I think that's why I've indulged in so many basics lately.

Crazy flashy and maybe a little over the top. I love them! Christian Louboutin Donjon boots.

Now to find a grand...

I cannot believe that having such an empty show such as The Hills on MTV (which of course I watch) can mean that you get to be a "designer" who makes things like the dress above. Or things like this:

That's right. Lauren Conrad's collection. I'm all for high quality basics, but what is this? The shirt above is $92. Hasn't this been done a million times and a million times better by real designers like Rachel Pally? There is absolutely nothing special about the collection and Lauren's real life style isn't even anything impressive. Why would they give her a line? I've always said that I could never design, because I'm not artsy and creative in that way. But if I was forced to, I'm sure I could come up with something better and more unique and SOMEWHAT interesting than the boring collection that is Lauren Conrad. Don't even get me started on "Heidiwood". These photos were taken from revolveclothing.com, and I'm sad that they would even sell this line. Even sadder is the people who would spend that much on a Lauren Conrad "original". You know who actually has some talent? Mary-Kate and Ashley. Here is a dress from their current Elizabeth and James collection:

It may not fit everyone's tastes with the cutouts and all, but at least it's trying something different, and isn't some boring ass jersey dress/shirt. They may always be known as the Olsen Twins, but at least they can put out some well-designed quality clothing. See the rest of Elizabeth and James.

It may seem like common knowledge, but I feel like people forget that fit is the most important thing in finding clothes. If the fit is bad, then who cares about the design? For me, if the fit is bad then I don't feel comfortable wearing it. For example, I have two white button down shirts from Zara, one long sleeve, one short. I tried them on real quick in the fitting room, and was excited that they weren't boxy like every other white button down I've ever tried on. I took them home, and when I actually decided to wear one, it was too small and the buttons were pulling. I love the shirts, but I find them difficult to wear unless I suck in everything or maybe go braless (which I am not comfortable doing).

I think people get all caught up in the trends and labels and everything and forget that if the clothing doesn't fit well, then nothing else matters.

I guess I never really got around to that post. Darn.

I'm on the hunt for several things right now, and although this is an old item, I still want it. In my opinion it's the best leather jacket of the Kate Moss for Topshop collection (I hear her S/S 2008 collection is out and is a failure but that's another story).

Also on the hunt for a good pair of sandals for summer. The gladiator thing going on isn't so flattering on me so I need to find an alternative that doesn't cut me off at my ankles.

Hopefully I'll have a post before the end of the week.

I leave you with some Cure lyrics (my #1 of all music).

A thousand wasted hours a day
Just to feel my heart for a second
A thousand hours just thrown away
Just to feel my heart for a second
- A Thousand Hours
