Handbag addiction - Alexander Wang (yes again)

I got this!

Wanting to get started on posting right away, Im only posting a link to this item without a photo. Its so new there isn’t much to choose from online and my camera is a little dusty. This bag is my new crush, I cant quit looking at it! So glad I was able to get my hands on this color combo, it’s already selling out! Right on trend with this springs blush obsession, between the latte colored leather and the rose gold hardware, it’s a must have! Holding out for just the right colored Rocco has gotten me out of my black handbag obsession and I couldn’t be happier.

So far behind…

2010 has def been a whirlwind year. Since I last posted I came to New York for fashion week, packed up my apt of 13 years, travelled europe and toured for the month of Oct, worked almost every day of november and have now transplanted to New York for good. The apartment search has now lasted about a month and a half and hoping something will confirm before weeks end. Ill attempt to catch up here once my life gets back on track - I promise!

Jewelry addiction - Bijules

I got it!

Bijules "The Lost Boy" Earring

Thanks to the powers that be Guilt Group, I obtained these great gold earrings on the second time they were listed at a great price. I’ve been following Bijules for some time, both due to the great rock staple pieces and by the word of fellow blogger Wendy Hu of Shonshon8. I can’t wait to get my hands on more pieces, the earrings are already one of my staples…

Travel addiction - general

So this fall I will be making NYC my home, but until then I’m trying to fit in as many local trips as possible. Funny that the first flight booked is to the exact place I’m moving. I’m heading to the big apple on Sept. 4th for a wedding that weekend, but extended my stay through the 18th to include the annual Fashion’s Night Out and SS11 Fashion Week. Hopefully I’ll be able to attend some events, keep your ear to the ground for me and I’ll try hard to keep my cards in their wallet…

Handbag addiction - Matt Bernson (Clutch)

I got it!

Matt Bernson Gold Bar Clutch

Thanks to Fashion Alert in the newest issue of Marie Claire (which has become surprisingly edgier as of late, hooray!) I acquired this beauty tonight. A bit off track for this NYC based womens shoe designer, but all to our benefit. I have yet to see this in person, but should be in the mail in a matter of days. Made from one complete piece of leather and hand stamped, the luxury is worth its weight in gold…

Buy direct from Matt Berson and make sure to do a quite online search for discount codes before putting your order through - no tax and free shipping also helped make this purchase a steal!

Robyn is back! One of my favorite vocalists is taking to the mic again this year with what is promising to be a bevy of hits. This video is relate-able to almost everyone, is visually stunning and the stylist hit it home by putting her in some Alexander Wang ;) As some of you may know I was slated to be the opener for her Seattle date of the last tour, before it was canceled so she could appear on the t.v. show The View :( Fingers crossed I’ll get lucky again and get added to the date when she and Kelis hit the road later this year…

Accessory lust - Jennifer Behr

I NEED this!

Jennifer Behr - Spiked turban headwrap

After seeing this piece as part of an amazing shoot in the newest ID magazine, I’m was in love… That was until I saw the $475 price tag - gulp!

I still am dying to get my hands on it, so I will continue to lust until either someone buys it for me or makes me a knock-off ;)

Vinyl addiction (toys that is!)

I got it!

Kid Robot black ssur skull

Some of you know about my addiction to these designer toys, I don’t even want to think of the money I’ve spent! I pride myself on collecting amazing pieces and this is no exception. Part of the Kid Robot Black line:

“The line is inspired by the aesthetic of the late nineties urban vinyl toy movement, with an emphasis on texture and simplicity of form and color. Part of the goal of Kidrobot Black is to revisit this aesthetic and modernize it with cutting edge designs by Kidrobot’s top toy designers.

We have invited some of our favorite artists and asked them to use BLACK as a theme, and to concentrate on simple, elegant form rather than on elaborate paints. Artists are urged to take risks they might not otherwise take.”

Well I took a risk (and the rest of my tax return!) and couldnt be more impressed!
