Just plain yummy!

Anyone want to get me this gorgeous Prada Cervo Lux
Shoulder bag for Christmas? Ha ha just kidding. :) I like
the little disclaimer on the Saks page, "DUE TO POPULAR
DEMAND, A CUSTOMER MAY ORDER NO MORE THAN
THREE UNITS OF THESE ITEMS EVERY THIRTY DAYS."
Who is it exactly that can afford to order more than three
units of these items every thirty days?!?

Proenza Schouler

The boys of Proenza Schouler, Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough,
are guest blogging this week for the New York Times T Magazine. They
plan to interview 5-6 different people who they collaborate with and who
give them inspiration during their creative process. I look forward to
reading about what it means to be a designer and about what goes into
putting together a collection.

Cute Item of the day

Nightmare Snatcher Journal. I seem to have a thing
for fuzzy monster items (previous post: Monster laptop
sleeve), but this journal IS ferociously cute!

Chic Clutches from Arden B

A few cute clutches to go with all of your holiday outfits.


Arden B Metallic Plated clutch.



Patent Buckle clutch.



Satin Square Clutch, a much cheaper alternative to those pretty Devi Kroell
Jeweled clutches that have been catching my eye lately.


Or if you're feeling really adventurous you could make a DIY project
out of one of these, some glue and some large fake jewels from a
crafts or fabric store... (Banana Republic Minaudiere).

I heart coats

In keeping with the cold weather theme of the day I give you a post about
coats.... Coats are some of my favorite things: wool coats and trench coats,
swing coats and plaid coats, long coats and leather coats. I've rarely met a
coat I didn't like.


White coats, how beautiful are thee... but oh how easily dirtied. Kenneth
Cole Reaction Funnel Coat and Marc Jacobs Twill Coat -- I know I've
posted a pic of this coat before, but it's still one of the most beautiful
coats I've come across in a long time. I love the shape and especially the
collar.


Bright coats cheer up a cold gray day (J Crew Gramercy Coat and Marc
by Marc Jacobs Wool Felt Coat).


Black coats are always useful, especially one with fun buttons (Diesel
Brosti Coat, and Kensie Wool Pleated Coat)


Duffle coats and marmalade sandwiches to make you feel like Paddington
Bear (Banana Republic Wool Toggle Coat -- I got last year's version in
gray for Christmas and it's wonderfully toggly, and J. Crew Stadium cloth
toggle-coat).


I have never actually ever owned a puffer coat, though I imagine that
will change next year when I move to cold cold cold New York. I
rather like this metallic puff by J. Crew and Puffer Vest from Banana
Republic.


The only coat I don't think I'll ever own is a fur coat, though faux can be
fabulous (Faux-fur shrug and Animal-print faux-fur shrug). The one on the
left is adorable!

Cold Feet!

My feet tend to turn into icicles for practically the whole
winter long. In my quest to find something to warm my
tootsies (besides my husband's belly), I came across these
microwavable heated slippers (Cosy Soles, and Happy
Company Chenille Toes). They're not much to look at, but I
think I could sacrifice some fashion for toasty toes. There
are also battery operated versions, but having a battery on
or in your slipper might be somewhat awkward.

The Cosy Soles are heated throughout while the Happy
Company slippers have a microwavable scent pack that
smells of lavender, clove and chamomile.

Drool worthy item of the day

Paul Smith Violet Bag. What a beautiful structured tote.
It reminds me a bit of the Chloe bay bag, but maybe it's
just the shape of the tabs...
