Finally back from my trip to Vegas. All I did was shopping, really. I stayed at Bellagio, which is home to a number of fine shops such as Bottega Veneta, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, etc. And nearby was the Fashion Show Mall and Forum Shops I could walk to.. I've been to Vegas so many times now, I think I'm going to stop going for a while now. Stuff I got... I stocked up on cashmere sweaters from Ralph Lauren for the fall, in bright colors like yellow and blue. I bought basics like shirts and shorts from Ruehl. At Saks Fifth Avenue, I bought a navy Splendid tank top that I could wear 24/7 with anything. From Dolce & Gabbana, I bought a men's tank top from the Summer '07 collection in medium that I could wear as a dress. When I tried it on, it worked as a dress and a tank top so yeahh. I also bought a Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent brown velvet bolero to wear at formal events. And I think that's all I got.. I'm debating between these two necklaces to buy and I tried both of them on and couldn't decide...
this one's from Dior, in gold and with a diamond.
this one is tiffany & co and silver with a diamond.
Jewelry has never really been my thing, but I decided I needed something I could wear all the time... All these new clothes in my closet calls for vintage action! I'm going shopping with Lauren and Alyssa in Melrose Sunday! Kidrobot, the Way We Wore, Scout, Wasteland, Paul Smith... here I come!
Item of the day! Handmade sweatshirts from Shobo Shobo!
A splurge at $200 to $115 apiece, they are a graphic feast for the eye! They are created by Mehdi Hercberg and Andrea Crews in Paris, France. They come in black, purple, and black, with different designs in each color.
Woke up around 9ishh and took a shower. Wore my Miss Sixty pair of skinnies and, a yellow tunic from Anthropologie, a pink Juicy Couture shirt, wine red cardigan from Free People, and Marc by Marc Jacobs flats. Oh, and my tortoise shell reading glasses from Urban Outfitters and a button thread necklace from my label Alfalfa Queen&Co.Quick breakfast and took off for Seal Beach. Hung around there for like 2 hours and then hit the road again for Costa Mesa's amazing South Coast Plaza. Which was a treat since I hadn't been there for a couple months. Not too many people which was good, but also not many stores with good sales. Didn't look around in too many stores, but just the basics, like Ron Herman, Saks Fifth, Ralph Lauren, H&M, and Barneys Co-Op. All I ended up getting was a pair of jeans from Barneys. I'd been looking for a pair of skinny stonewashed jeans for a long time so I was kinda happy. They're from this obscure brand called Cheap Monday headed by some Swedish designers. With reasonable price and style, I snatched them before someone else.
Also at Barneys Co-Op were some amazing 3.1 Phillip Lim dresses and Diane von Furstenberg blouses. Stopped by Tory Burch's store and got to look at some amazing tank tops and sweaters.
On the way home, I thumbed through the Jil Sander Womens Spring 2007 collection catalogue while sipping a double chocolate light frap. Which made me sick [the drink, not Sander's collection]. What a productive day.
