Oh I know you have to go, yes I know you have to go.

Oh, hi again. I suppose I'm just makin' up for the lack of updates this week by sitting here and banging some more posts out.

I'd like to present to you some of my recent purchases.

On Gilt, I bought some L.A.M.B. sandals and I'm wearing them right now, and I've worn them for the past week, and I love them.

They have sweet buckles on the side, too:

Gilt has some great sales! If you need an invite - HERE IT IS! I'd been eyeing these sandals all summer on Piperlime, and when I saw them on Gilt docked down so much, I didn't even hesitate.

Last weekend while Jesse and I were staying at the Westin in Providence, I woke up early and did some shopping, seeing as how the hotel is connected to the monument of commerce that is Providence Place Mall. I bought a cute, simple gray dress - what do you think?

That night we went to a delicious dinner in Newport, me in my gray dress and L.A.M.B. sandals, and Jesse in his new plaid shirt. I remember having two glasses of wine and then discussing Jason Schwartzman for a bit.

And now for that which I wish I could buy. These pieces by Lauren Moffat are gorgeous and I want them. I want to be able to afford them. As well as the sunglasses the model is wearing, too. Of course!

I'd also like this dress that Emmy Rossum wore. And the sunglasses.

And finally, could this girl be any more adorable? By that I mean, if I tried to pull of that hair, that outfit, that pose, it'd come out something horrible - something TRAGIC, even.

Coveting anything lately? Inspired by any sweet fashion blogs? (Pass them along!)

I think this may conclude my blogging for the day. Maybe.

Trying so hard saving up the paper.

An optimistic personal shopping story amidst the cold weather and husband-missing!

After recieving a very generous monetary gift for Christmas, I was keeping my eye out for a great pair of shoes or stellar handbag. I was definitely not active about my pursuit, at least not yet, and then I got a little sale e-mail in my inbox Wednesday with "L.A.M.B." in the subject line. Hey oh! L.A.M.B. bags on the cheap! And since yellow + gray is one of my favourite color combos...voila:

Isn't it sooooo pretty? It was marked down $300 from the original price. How much prettier does that make it?! I can't wait until it's in my hands.

And today, in the midst of snow swirling outside my office building right now, I stumbled upon something that actually made me swoon, and then pout when I saw the price tag.

Chloe Tilia acetate sunglasses - $295 - SIGH.

I think the rose-tinted lenses are RAD. As I've just noted in my brain, I'll attempt sales or decent knock-offs when it gets warmer!

Oh well, one out of two ain't bad! Anybody just buy something online they're super duper into? Or get a great deal on something? I'm obviously quite excited about my most recent purchase. Feel free to post the link, too! I'm off to spend the weekend relaxing and perhaps a little hibernating...
