The ridiculous stuff I buy, cont...


I spent two hours stopping by Bloomingdales, Neimans, Chanel boutique, and Macy's to find Particuliere, the limited edition Chanel nail polish that came out late last month. I talked myself out of buying it when it came out because duh, I have like A HUNDRED nail polishes. This one was all staying on my mind so I got a little obsessive (what? me?) and tracked it down at Saks thanks to a tip from the Chanel girl at Macy's (thanks dude). I thought I'd pass it on in case you ladies want one. It's pretty perf.

lust=must

This is the first blog post re: my hedonistic Portland vacation. I may have underestimated that place.


Anyway...I finally broke down and bought myself this bracelet by Arielle de Pinto at one of my favorite shops Stand Up Comedy. It is fucking amazing and I can't wait to link it to some other chain to make a necklace AND wear it as a ring.

nobody likes eye wrinkles.

I randomly bought some high-end looking sunglasses at one of the rich-lady thrift stores in Russian Hill over the weekend. The glasses were priced at $24, which is too much to pay for glasses at the thrift store (and I am hella cheap when it comes to thrifting) but something about them just seemed...nice. The color and weight of the frames, the shape...plus the lenses manage to filter the sun in a way the prevents squinting but doesn't darken your field of view.

Turns out the pair I am wearing today are these, selling for $85 on ebay:




I also got this pair, also selling for $85:





The store had three other pairs I didn't get because really, $24 is too much to pay for thrift store sunglasses. But now that I think I should go back an buy them all so I'll be set for life with sunglasses. One pair was pretty cool like weird goggles but super retro moddish, but the shop wanted $50 for them! ugh. But I have a feeling I'd better do my research on those because maybe they are some cray cray brand and could turn out to be one of those amazing thrift store finds of a lifetime.
