Haute Headbands: Burberry, Prada

Like any Gossip Girl fan, I am obsessed with headbands. I think I have about 40. I will dedicate a post to them soon. For someone who spends hundreds of dollars on them, it’s weird that I haven’t yet bought this $85 Burberry, considering how wearable it is. At the risk of sounding like Becky Bloomwood in Confessions of a Shopaholic, it’s (sigh) an investment piece. I have a very stylish cousin and it’s one of her signature pieces.

Also, I never thought this would go on sale, but it has! This very Blair-licious jeweled headband at Prada has been marked down from $395 to $236.90.

The heavens have opened up. If only we could get some divine advice: Black or gray?

Trend Forecast: Tiffany & Co. Cashmere wrap

Has anyone else discovered these yet? I saw them in the store about a month ago and flipped out. Best. Thing. Ever. The classic Tiffany eggshell blue has been captured in cashmere-wrap form with a small, understated logo.tiffanywrapI predict that women of all ages will start wearing these with everything. I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone wearing them yet, especially the super label-conscious. I can see this scarf becoming as popular as the Tiffany heart or charm bracelet. Or Coach bags. It makes a statement that can be interpreted one of two ways: I have great style and know a classic item when I see it, or simply, I’m richer than you.

Works for me! $250.

Intimissimi panties: $10 a pair and worth it

The last time I was in Italy, I found myself with no clean underwear left. No, not for the reasons you might think, I’m just lazy when it comes to laundry and inefficient when it comes to packing. Intimissimi is like the Victoria’s Secret of Italy, and the panties I bought there lasted so long that I finally forced myself to throw them out because they were worn. BUT they were more than worth it. I bought 3 more pairs today – I found them in a drawer and not on display, but Intimissimi’s smooth panties (not completely edgeless, get the ones that have a tiny seam) are perfect, versatile, and last forever. Definitely investment unmentionables. :)

Idk if it’s just me, but I don’t like the new VS cotton panties, even if they are 7 for $25. They’re scratchy! The most comfy sexy panties are the Angels supersoft. They only come in a hiphugger style right now, but they last forever. The Sexy Little Things panties are also very cute, but I only buy the really outrageous ones when they’re in the sale bin. Vicky’s is having a promo right now – if you spend $10 or more you get a card worth like $10, 50, 100 or 500 and you find out its value during your next visit. I can always find something to buy there. And knowing them, there are going to be some crazy sales as the holidays get closer. Yay! :)

This just in: Paris comes to senses, dumps Benji

Paris and Benji have called it quits. Sad. I didn’t really like her with him because he doesn’t seem very social. He didn’t make a peep when he appeared on BFF! Oh, and he’s kind of gross. Paris can do better.

hottieBut still, she really seemed serious about him. They kept making people gag by talking about how in loooooove they were. Well, enough about all that. It was getting boring. And Paris was practically starting to dress, well… like Benji.

My favorite bf of Paris’ was model Jason Shaw, who she was engaged to when she was much younger. I think they are very cute together. He seems to worship the ground she walks on, which I love. From what I read, they broke up because they were both too young to settle down. I don’t think Stavros Niarchos appreciates what he has with Paris; he’s been linked to too many other young starlets. And by too many I mean Mary-Kate and Lindsay. Besides, vintage is in. Paris & Jason forever <3

Christmas at Coach: Candy Colors!

Gorgey – and I hadn’t even gone inside yet!

I went to Coach in search of some more fabulous and comfy snow boots with fur trim. The “Joyous” boot (Coach’s logo print with brown fur trim) was marked down to $119 but they didn’t have my size :( How many women in New York City wear size 11? *sniffle*.

It’s a little logo-intense, but I liked this newsboy hat. Cute and goes with everything. $148.

coachhat1Also cute was the Zoe Tattersall beret, $158. I love Coach’s tattersall print. I thought their tattersall scarves were cute too, but they have been nixed by my BFF as potentially fake-Burberry looking.

Next up was their ah-dorable jewelry. I immediately noticed the locket because I remembered reading about Massie having one in The Clique books.

I can’t find a link to the necklace with all the charms on it, but I luh-v it.

The only thing in the store I didn’t really look at was the bags, which is ironic, I guess. My reasoning is this: Their small shoulder bags and wristlets are cute for high school girls going to parties and stuff, but once you hit 18, you really need to upgrade. I just don’t get women that walk around waving their Coach bags around like they cost a ton of money and everyone else is jealous. A Coach bag is absolutely acceptable, but if you really want to wow people, go for something at a similar price point from a more prestigious label. Most designers make seasonal collections and classic collections, and while Coach is a combination of both, their bags don’t change too drastically from season to season. You can get a Coach bag anywhere. For all I know, you got it at the outlet or T.J. Maxx for under $100. To their credit, Coach makes some very nice upscale bags from nicer materials such as snakeskin, but I can’t justify spending like $1000 on a bag there. I’d much rather have the cheapest bag from a high-end designer like Chanel or Fendi than the most expensive bag in the Coach store, but I do love their shoes, scarves and jewelry.

Lastly, j’adore their pet items. I don’t even have a dog, and I wanted to buy these. My cat Louie would claw the crap out of me if I ever put a fur coat on him.
