Girlish Cameo

I fell in love with this purse at the thrift store a few days ago. Not only does the material of the purse and simple elegance render it as a classic, versatile accessory for ? occasions, the girlish cameo reminded me of Candice from Sense and Sensibility much-loved copy of Jane Eyre (which that I have been rereading continuously lately)

Merry Festivus!

I may have gone overboard on festive *impulse* Christmastime shopping this year. For those who aren’t in ‘the know,’ last year at Christmastime I was dumped by the now-ex partner, and so the remainder of 2011 has been a sort of granting secret and archived inventory of “wish-fulfillment”. After all, a girl is always in the process of taking care of herself!!

Also I learned a lot about developing a sense of style, based on my personal interests, materials of the clothing, classic vs trendy items, and dressing appropriate for every occasion..it’s something to learn over and over again, dressing my best and expressing a happy personality without going overboard for social approval or being defined by what my friends are/aren’t wearing (and keeping quiet when someone doesn’t recognize the difference, yet! ;) Some of these were purchased and some are still on the wishlist. Can you guess which is which??

A Doctor Called For the Fashion

47461_P_1306966216007

I LIKE shopping online~~ x_x paying though, for customs, duty at CANADA borders and extra shipping fees can be quite pricey but it’s worth it!! Similar to hunting in thrift-stores and second-hand shops for vintage fashions pieces that are knock off copies in department stores.. hmrmph 8O..

THIS was one of my last impulse buys for 2011~~~~ *heart*~~ it’s a “homage” (*cough* cheaper knock-off) to the MULBERRY satchel named after miss Alexa Chung :) :) her fashion style is modest and focuses on classic, vintage elegance *heart*

These were ordered from YESSTYLE~~ and are also referred to as “doctors’ bags, or twist lock -satchels-.. measuring 33″ x 21″ x 13″ (length x height x width). Still waiting for them to arrive!!! 8D 8O .. as a practical schoolgirl at heart 8) I think they’re useful if you’re carrying one or TWO textbooks and notepad.. maybe a waterbottle and wallet.. but that’s it!! x_x….

OKAYYYY.. I will stop rambling about fashion now~ ;) ;)

Kitty Knit Knapsack

In lieu of a more extensive and expensive wardrobe, my summer shopping agenda will be limited to vintage finery and shopping frugal, at both samplesales and thrift fashion stops for investment pieces.

This was a happy go lucky find at one such hop, a kitty decal knapsack with roomy pockets and weather proof interior for small ‘times and luncheons. I’m hopeful that it can be double duty for brief photowalking jaunts or short schooldays in the summer semester.

Swinging Cabbages

The richly decadent soiree and utilitarian survival elegance of purses always sway my indecisive, impulses of fashionable necessities. Not only do these shoulder toting and hip-side swinging jaunty carryalls bedecked my simplistic tone wardrobe, their individually crafted and excessive personalities are also an extension of myself, in thought, mannerisms and necessary gigantic pockets for odds and ends.

Granted, I must be focusing on timeless, classic pieces that can easily transition between my many-faceted lifestyle but truthfully told, half of my life will be spent as a prime and proper, deadly elegant business professional with an emphasis on ma’am and young lady, nicht wa?

These colorful gemlike fashionable properties of convenience were acquired in the past month or so, since the overdue exam stress was taking it’s toll on my flesh and body, crippling my health and futurosity of an immune system.

A Tokidoki hobo purse was one of my most coveted wish list items, since i had never ever really truly owned any of their merchandise! Rob aka Tinyauto was very very helpful in my indecisive purchase and it is also a sortof half present from him!! Both of the ruby currant red laptop cases were under $30, perfect for casually toting my precious MacBook pro guardedly from work and school and roundabouts. The green Jorja purse a la Matt by Matt & Nat is a snug fit for otherwise un-youthful affairs. It was a fit of folly that led to my impulsive online purchase and I am still secretly worried that it has still delayed arrival since orders on the last day of March.
