i’m not a big fan of the sneakers from the alexander mcqueen puma collection, but the sandals are HOT!

i won these on ebay from the silver sun pickups’ nikki moninger, but they just don’t look right on my feet. :(

i’m selling them for the same price i bought them for [$75], and hopefully you or someone else can find them a happy home. :)

eBay – Alexander McQueen Puma Celula Sandals Antique Gold W8

it’s sad, but i feel i’ve outgrown this hue. i’m just not a carnation pink kinda girl.

if you are or know someone who is, head over here – i’m selling it for $20 on eBay.

eBay: BCBG pink leather bomber jacket

UPDATE: these shoes have been sold and shipped. thanks to everyone who gave feedback in the poll!

worn thrice, but in faaabulous condition
these shoes were a graduation gift to myself a couple of years ago, and, as hot as they are, it’s time for me to move on!

i’d love to sell these to an enthusiastic fashionista, but with ebay it’s really up to whoever wins the auction. at time of writing, there are FIVE people watching these shoes, so be sure to check in on them over the week if you want to buy them!

good luck!

For the most part, when girls wear contrasting bras with sheer tops, I don’t think they know what they’re doing. It all too often comes off as “trashy,” or at least as “Huh, I totally didn’t realize that you can see my white VS bra through this dark navy henley.”

I’m not against seeing some stylish layering with opaque tops. However, it does get pretty blase when it’s another lame white-on-black or vice versa pairing. That kind of couple comes off more as accidental than premeditated. (But, of course, if your thing is all about looking accidental, then we’ll just have to agree to disagree. :))

For the sake of taking advantage of layering and spicing up outfits, however, I am all about surprising passersby with eye-popping color. I picked out this bra from Betsey Johnson because I love fuchsia, and I love all the unobnoxious details that go into the bra (for when you’re without that sheer top). Normally I find Betsey Johnson pretty annoying – Don’t get me wrong, I love her party dresses, but any combination of leopard print plus pink piping plus emblazoned logos that rhyme with “Wetseyville” is not appealing to me.

I should also note that I’m a 36A, and when I tried this on in 36A I didn’t like how it gave me ugly side boob. Though the Bra Specialists at Victoria’s tell you to go a size down and a cup up for your “sister size,” I found this 36B to flatter my figure more.

…Don’t you just love the lace that goes up the straps? That’s my favorite part. :)

I know it’s blurry, but in every other image my cheeks make me look like a rice ball.

Cowlish Necked Long Sleeve – Life & Death. The front image is of a silvery sketched unicorn. The back is of one of those griffin-fish things.

“Costello Stretch Jeans Ephedrine Wash” (Straight Leg Jeans) – Rock & Republic. Can I just say – as a female with a relatively round rump and thick thighs, I love R&Rs for being a brand of jeans that actually fit and flatter.

Black High Heel Pumps – Guess.

Rose-Stamped Graphic Tank – (I forgot.) Urban Outfitters.

Mauve Corduroy Skirt – (I forgot.)

Libra Shoes – Miss Sixty.

CD Bag – Lenore Collection. Lenore Collection is a line of handbags made entirely from recycled newspapers, magazine spreads, etc. Lenore and I took a random “History of Fashion” class and I invited her to set up a booth at one of my events. She originally was hoping to keep this bag for herself, but luckily she gave it up for me!
