Dearly Departed... My Chanel Sandals were sold!!!

Some years ago, I was wandering alone in Soho during one of my summer Fridays.
Then did enter Chanel and saw that they had a sale and to my surprise, saw that these beautiful and classic sandals with the interlocking CCs were marked down to like $100! Affordable for Chanel, huh?

Didn't even think twice and bought them. Thought that they were meant to last forever, that I would have many seasons of happy fashionable walks...

Boy, I was mistaken... Sad, but suffering for fashion has its limits...
The sandals gave major blisters, the strap was too small for the tip of my feet and I really ended up almost dying if I had to walk more than 5 blocks.
So not practical...

Decided to sell and I am discovering that anything Chanel is like gold. Sells like crazy!  And did sell it for slightly more than I paid, awesome, non?

Adieu darling, hope you give some happiness and hopefully not blisters to your new owner!!!

My new Forever 21 jacket

 

Gorge, non?

Looks more expensive than just 35 bucks...

All Saints Spitalfields, my birthday gifts!!!

Saw this store when I went to Paris last year and thought it was AMAZING.... 

Paris store we've stumbled upon:

 

Ended up not buying anything - the prices were in British pounds and they were HIGH.

Shortly after, they did open a store in NYC, in the Meatpacking area.

 A view from the store. So chic and with a mix of Victorian/Mad Max vibe.

Or as The New York Times calls it  "The Romance of Jack the Ripper"

Went there on my birthday week and got some AMAZING things as gifts:

When I saw this, I had to have it... They have the coolest prints...

And to top this this WONDERFUL (and heavy) necklace:

 

I am loving this soooo much!!!

And the Missoni for Target Madness continues!!!!

As you've probably seen, I became a true Missoni for Target maniac...

In my mad rush (that btw paid off, since I did receive EVERYTHING I've ordered, to the contrary of many people) to get my apparel choices, I've totally neglected the home goods. And of course, I wasn't able to access their website again during the whole day on September 13th, when I could log in again at target.com, almost everything was sold out. Of course...

Then, I did start salivating at the items on Ebay...

After much thought, and not very happy that these Missoni scalpers are making a great profit, I could not resist and decided to snag the cutest chevron towels...

I've heard that they are amazing for the price.... So I did a major shoulder shrug and paid the inflated prices (more than double... *sigh*) for two bath towels and one hand towel...

 They even have the orange Missoni label, how chic is that? Huh?

Looooove the pattern and the striped trim. Sooo cute!
Well, in reference to paying more than double of their Target price, I did rationalize the fact that if taken care properly, they can last forever and will be a major decorative element to a mostly black and white bathroom! AND as if this wasn't enough, my parents are coming to visit, so there!

Will post more pictures as soon as I get them!!!!

My Missoni for Target loot !!! The update...

Ok, I am officially obsessed !!! My friends/hubby/family cannot even hear me talking more about this Missoni collab...

But... I am continuing to ramble here in my blog, ok?

So. to sum the adventure, I was a little bit worried about actually not receiving my orders... Heard about some crazy cases and was panicking that I would be able to get all my items (see the ones I've picked here).

My orders were in fact ok!!! The zig zag blue sweater was the first one!!! That was the only one that was left in my shopping cart before the website crashed early in the morning.

Then the pink scarf and just this week, I did get my golden cardi! (And of course my gold infinity scarf, but that was Ebay! Actually I was having more faith on Ebay that Target!!!).

This was the last Target shipment: the gold cardi!!!

Nice background, no? Ok, you probably think I am nuts... But there is no harm in having some fun, amirite? LOL

Here's the result of Missoni throwing up on my closet !!!!

Very impressed with the quality of the golden scarf, golden cardi and the blue sweater... The pink scarf was ok I guess, especially for $25...

I think I will have many, many happy years with those things...

Ciao amici!!!  ;-)
