Champagne dreams and a beer budget...


Urban Outfitters is a store that, in my youth, used to suck my money away as fast as I could make it.  Now that I'm older and work in an office building with a boring dress code, it's harder to find things that are age appropriate and well...yeah.  I live in the NW and mini skirts and t-shirts with a bunch of holes in them aren't great investment pieces... but you know what are? These dresses by Stine Goya Anthia and these shoes by Jeffrey Campbell.  Now, while these pieces evoke "i want it i want it i want it" temper tantrums inside of me, they are all well above doable in price.  All I can do is pray to the shopping fairy that they are around long enough for employee appreciation week and I can use my friends and fam discount to score all three. Maybe by then they'll even be on sale and I can pump my fist in the air in victory. --See how I handle tantrums? It's very effective.

I love everything about her: Her offbeat lifestyle, her talent, her aesthetic, the way she talks... I wish I could meet her for tea and discuss our latest reads and favourite artists.  Swoon...
