Thakoon for Target


I finally gave in and ordered this Thakoon for Target dress on ebay. It was a little more
expensive than the original price, but not too bad, and besides I love it! The dress is
made of a stiff cotton so could be suitable for either a dress or a spring coat and the
print is fabulous! It even looks ok with jeans for these cold winter days.


In fact it looks strikingly similar to this much pricier Thakoon Moon-print dress, or jacket.

Matt & Nat


Lots of cute Matt & Nat handbags on mega discount today at Rue La La! Has anyone tried one of these "vegan leather" handbags?

mouse flats!


I have been lusting after Marc Jacobs' various takes on the mouse
flat for years, but they have always been a bit too pricey for me to
spend on a rather frivolous shoe. It must be fate because now
they're on super sale and thanks to CT I got an extra 20% off (use
coupon code EXTRA to get 20% off all sale shoes). These black
ones are mine for about 60% off the original price! Whoop! Ok,
that might be enough shopping for me for awhile.

Real Riding Boots


I would love to get a pair of "real" riding boots, Monaco Field Boot
from Ariat International. Unfortunately it doesn't look like there are
any retailers in NY that carry them... but Manhattan Saddlery seems
to carry some of their other lines. The question is would I feel weird
walking into a riding shop to buy boots when I don't really ride?

Ruban Ring


Loverly rippled Ruban Ring from etsy, handpicked by tortillagirl today.

Helmut Lang tank!



Just ordered this Helmut Lang double layered cut-out tank from gilt.com.
Last time they had this tank I hesitated and it was sold out before I made up
my mind. This time I just went for it! Unlike most of the fast sale discount
designer places (RueLaLa etc), you can actually return merchandise to
gilt.com (for store credit). So, I feel a little less nervous ordering from them
and the discounts are amazing!

Doc dilemma


These?


Or these?

I just can't make up my mind and would love to get some input!
