“It’s friday, friday, gotta buy Alexander Wang and Zara on friday.”
Not the real lyrics, but I have a feeling that would improve the song. Maybe.
My two (only two?! such restraint!) purchases from this year’s Black Friday:
1) Zara Ankle Booties – Originally $89.90
Black Friday Price: $39.99
2) Alexander Wang Ankle Booties – Originally $650
Black Friday Price: $75.00
I saved $624.91. Success.
What did you buy on Black Friday?

I’ve submitted my Early Decision application! This, of course, means I have received the ultimate prize (other than getting accepted to the school): I finally was given access to my pile of amazing fashion books I had picked up on my recent trip to Book Book in NYC.
Some of said books:
I’m so excited to read these!
Since clothing, shoes, etc. from the 90s are now considered “vintage,” my new early-1990s made boots are “vintage” too.

“I’m Foxy Cleopatra…. and I’m a WHOLE LOTTA WOMAN!”Like Beyonce’s character from Austin Powers’ Goldmember, this platform is a whole lotta shoe. Towering above the ground with a five and a half inch heel, and a two inch platform, this shoe takes sandals to a new height.
This shoe is the perfect 70′s style addition for any closet.
The Foxy Platform comes in a wide range of colors, textures (suede, sparkled,etc) and prices ($90-$145).
School is almost back in session which means we all could use a boost in our wardrobe to carry our looks from summer to fall. While the beginning of the year means awkwardly making your way into layers and heavy clothing from short shorts and tanks, these five tips from Bloomingdales’ Trend Forecaster, Stephanie Solomon, will help you ease into fall:

The “Kaiser” is collaborating with Macy’s to produce a line of 45 pieces. The collection will be in stores and online on the 31st of August. The prices will range from $50 to $170.

The American Flag (or the Flag of the United States) is an iconic image. Until recently, the flag represented the citizens and states inside of the nation. Now the flag is being used as a print for the world of street fashion.

My outfit for the first day of the La Jolla Fashion Film Festival.
The Prada bag I thrifted today for $60! Score!
I was expecting this. I got this:
The fact that it was “Made in China” kind of seems ironic. If you are trying to fight against counterfeiting, why would you make the bag in China, one of the top producers of knock-offs? These bags should’ve been made in America, since the CFDA is the Council of Fashion Designers of America.
The huge tag.
As an aside, the quality of the bag isn’t fantastic. But for $35, and ebay, I can’t expect too much.
