Missed Chance: Helmut Lang Top

Not really a missed chance, it's just that I can't justify paying $335 for a top when the same exact one (except no leather trim) is on sale online for $167.50. Not to mention, I much prefer the version without the leather. As with most sale items I love, I cannot find my size anywhere! The blouse is made from a wool crepe material and it drapes beautifully. I'm normally a size S in Helmut Lang, but I found that size P fit better. If you are in between sizes, you should size down for this style.


Does anyone know of any good brands that carry a white somewhat low-cut drape front top? I've been searching for one for a while, and I love the one worn by this unknown person below.

Kim Kierkegaardashian is that you?

Missed Chance: Céline Booties

This past weekend in Chicago, I stopped inside Barney's. They were having a big shoe sale! Hurrah. I skipped over to the size 7 1/2 and 8 section and I found these classic booties. I have been searching years for the perfect bootie. These were exactly what I had envisioned in my head--simple, sexy, and sleek. The heel was the perfect height/width, and in my favorite color black! Not to mention, the price was reduced 50% to around $500. Only bummer is that  the 7 1/2 were too snug, and they did not have a pair in size 8. Céline doesn't allow any retailers to sell their items online, so I wasn't able to find these anywhere. Sigh. Here's to hoping I'll find the same exact pair but in size 8 next year...and that it will still be on sale for $500.
