Lanvin for suckers...

Remember when I did my Lanvin for H&M post here?? Well if you missed out on that auction, which donated all of its proceeds to a much deserving charity, and featured one of a kind sketches and designs, don't you worry. As many have suspected, the masses have taken their Lanvin for H&M loot to none other than ebay. Not only are the starting bids out of this world, but people are actually bidding!! We're not talking couture here either. What is the world coming to? Save your money, donate it to a charity, or invest in a few shares of H&M stock (ticker: H&M B). But don't, I repeat, do not, let someone who probably elbowed you out the way, stepped on your foot, and cut you in line, sucker you into paying $699 for this dress that probably should have been yours in the first place... Not to mention this, this, or these (hangers? really??).  

Current obsession...

I must admit, I have absolutely no need for a watch. With my cell permanently attached to my hand it serves as an acceptable alternative. However, that does not stop me from gawking at every leather banded, jewel studded, gold accented, etc, etc... timepiece I see.

Michael Kors makes the best everything. There is something so rich about white with gold accents and it looks great on everyone!

Betsey Johnson's accessories always have fun details. This watch accented with tiny skulls on a leather band and surrounded with stones will amp up any outfit!

I'm no huge Juicy Couture fan, but they often have surprisingly amazing jewelry! This watch is versatile and classic.

Confessions of a Sophie Kinsella Fan...

Since I was slightly disappointed in the Hollywood version of Confessions of a Shopaholic, I am excited to have another installment of the bestselling Shopaholic series: Mini Shopaholic :)

I can't wait to relax and crack open this book...

Brush your shoulder off...

With the holidays racing at us like a 1997 Porsche Boxter, it is imperative to begin the search for the perfect holiday dress! As much as I love my jeans and tees, I find excitement in having an opportunity to get fancy in a cute dress. My current obsession is the one-shoulder look. It is especially striking with one longer sleeve!

My absolute favorite is this Alice + Olivia I spotted on Shopbop... the white is so fresh, perfect for a party:

This pick, by Maggy London, takes the look to another dimension with a blouson sleeve:

If you have more than one party to attend, this dress, from Forever21, is much easier on the wallet:

Pair with cute knit tights and the perfect pair of booties, and go head, brush your shoulder off!

New music: Kanye West

Leave it to Kanye West to have an image of an odd looking, wine glass clutching, um, ballerina(?) on the album cover for his latest release, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy . With tracks having been leaked well before today's release, not to mention the nearly feature length video for his single Runaway, which can be seen here, the buzz for this album precedes itself. I have always thought of Mr. West as an innovative artist. You have to love a performer who is not afraid to stretch and break the status quo. This album does not disappoint. Classic Kanye.

Oprah's favorites...

I must admit, I am not a huge Oprah fan. Actually I never watch the show. However you would have to be insane to not want to be a part of one of her "Oprah's Favorite Things" episodes where she surprises her audience with thousands of dollars worth of products, trips, and services that she herself enjoys. Insane. A few of her picks may have you saying "eh, I'd give that to my mom", but a lot of them are super cool and worth checking out. 

 Jay Z's new book Decoded is most definitley on my reading list. He is one of very few rappers who can be defined as an artist. There's more to the game then drugs and violence. He actually has a story to tell that many can benefit from reading.

I would pass on the matching tote, but this Tory Burch flannel ballet flat featured is now on my wishlist. The neutral gray ensures it will coordinate with virtually everything in your closet and it will no doubt be the most comfy shoe you reach for.

I NEED this camera!! With 14.2 mega pixels, full HD cinematic video, and 3x 18-55mm zoom, the Nikon D3100, is awesome! Buy this for someone and they will love you forever. Heck, buy it for yourself as another excuse to love you!

Product junkies, like myself, will enjoy this gift set. You can not deny that Oprah's hair is always fly. Using the products her very own hairstylist, Andre Walker, has created, yours can be too!
