Sandro Me Manque Trop

So I yesterday I bought the Vogue Magazine on all the main Spring Collections in Paris (mainly) but also London, New York, and Milan. It was rather inspiring, but I'm beginning to realize the average designers like D&G and even Marc Jacobs aren't really my style anymore. Nonetheless, I found some cool (and hideous ones) that'll I'll share with y'all later.
However, I was inspired to look up some of the websites of the brands I DO like. 
Let me introduce you to....SANDRO. My favorite store from last year. I literally went in there at LEAST once a week, every week after I finally got up the courage to go into such a chic looking french store. Sadly, they haven't put their Spring/Summer Collection pictures up yet...BUT I am a sucker for greys, blacks etc (the winter palate) and let's face it, although the spring collections are out and about, it's still freezing cold outside.

I love lace tops like this. I bought one at Aritzia but was too scared to wear it, so I lent it to my friend to wear to a dance first so that i HAD to keep it. Big Mistake after just one wear theres like hair like threads poking out so it looks like my armpits are like CRAZY HAIRY. Very embarrassing. 
I might have to go and buy the one at AA even though I already have one....dommage (Do you guys think its worth it? Does the AA have the same problem?)

sequins make me think of Rachel Zoe.

Dreaming About: Crazy Wedges


Ok, as a take my tests recently or get my papers back and frantically worry about whether or not I'm going to get into college, I wonder to myself, how did I get to this point? And then I realize, it's online shopping. Well not so much shopping, because although online shopping has been a normal form of procrastination of mine since freshman year, I have yet to actually order something online. But I'm about to take the plunge with NeedSupply. I found these gorgeous Jeffrey Campbell booties, which are not exactly what I've always dreamed of in a bootie (I want them sleeker and taller) but they are a more reasonable version (I go to school in the hills of San Francisco) at a far more reasonable price (only $99 while some other versions are $599). Oh you want a picture do you? Well Here you go: 





I know. Perfect. I would look beyond intense with these shoes. But the problem is THEY'RE SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE. It appears that everyone else already recognized their amazing-ness while I was still deciding if they were ugly or not. I'm ordering them anyways, since they should apparently be chez moi by New Years Eve. How hot would I be? and nice and warm too when looking at those fireworks. Sounds like a plan. 
PS. I just decided that another shoe wasn't ugly/fell in love with it. And now I can't decide which one I want! Any suggestions? Here's the competitor. The Alexa Wedge Bootie. Also by Jeffrey Campbell and is a more elaborate version of the one above. There was a great deal of controversy over it because its a clear knockoff of the Acne Boot that Alexa Chung wore (ergo the name of the knockoff version).

the jeffrey campbell knockoff (god bless him at $195 instead of $655)

AHHH help me decide! I hope I'm cool enough to wear them.
