Things I Would Buy: If I was going to a Taylor Swift concert
Last week was fraught with drama surrounding Taylor Swift’s The Eras Tour. The Verified Fan presale felt like the Hunger Games (with nosebleed tickets akin to Peta’s pity bread tossed at Katniss in the rain), and the Capital One presale was like a WWE fight (except it wasn’t supposed to be rigged)… Then the week…

Things I Would Buy: If I had $800 lying around to spend on a Jane Birkin-inspired dress dupe
Item(s): Aimee dress from Dôen. Reason(s): Jane Birkin wore this spectacular, shiny, and tiered maxi dress in the early 70’s while dancing with her daughter. When I saw the photos, over 40 years later, I was mesmerized. It took 10 years since I first saw the photos to figure out that Jane’s mesmerizing dress was…

Things I Would Buy: If I didn’t all ready own it
Item(s): Chanel AW06 Chevron Jacket & Skirt Set. Reason(s): This post is really just serving as a PSA incase you were ever looking for this jacket.

Things I Would Buy: For spring, if I wasn’t saving for a Burberry trench coat
… Burberry trench coats have become so expensive (I bought mine when they were like $850 a piece), so I’m holding strong on saving and I’m almost there. If I had less self-control, this is what I would buy for spring — the grand total for it all is still less than a trench coat 🙄.…

Item(s): Balenciaga Flat Hobo in Caramel via eBay. Reason(s): I don’t know about you, but I have a longterm wishlist. That Chanel PTT is on it and so is this Balenciaga bag, but in black leather (along with, like, a Verdura cuff (dream on, baby) and a Tracey Emin napkin to match the one I…

This is mainly an exercise in dream dressing. Item(s):1- 1999 Commes des Garçons, Red Sequin Dress 2- Saint Laurent, Mohair Turtleneck Sweater 3- Nili…
