I'm going to need this as soon as possible!!

I can't believe how much I love/need this Jacket. I'm not sure what else I can even say.

Generally Free People is beautiful but too embellished and bohemian for me. This however is perfect. It's jersey and has woven front pieces and collar. The sleeves and back are beautiful navy jersey. I don't like tops with a lot of structure, maybe because I am so tall and the shoulders never fit. This is comfy, with just the right amount of structure.


Beautiful, yes? I can't wait to put it with skinny, jeans, black pants, a swingy dress, and everything else in my closet. The jersey makes it so versatile SPATS, my spats will be put with this.

I am going to have to find a way to get this as soon as possible.

Speaking of lovely, beautiful jackets, here is another one that I love. Forever 21, not quite the cost of the Free People. In fact you, could get the Forever 21 and complete the outfit for about the same price as the Free people jacket.


I love the pleating detail on the front and back!

Please knock it off!!

So the new James bond movie was basically the end of the last one. It was good, but one of the best (and worst) part was Olga Kurylenko, Bond girl Camille's wardrobe. I say worst because I have lost hours of my life and quality time with my boyfriend, scouring for knockoffs, and asking everyone if they could sew me the taffeta skirt. I think Ziya from alterations is strongly considering the idea. He says his uncle could do it.

Well here it is. The bronze silk twill pleated mini skirt by Jasper Conran -only 595 euro. I am sure someone could knock it off in taffeta.

Here is the runway. I am still searching for a screen shot of her wearing it.I thought I could count on Asos to do it but they don't quite have it. I think it kind of has a tulip skirt vibe but with an A-line.

Here is a screen shot. Sorry, you can't really see the picture but you can get the mood of the outfit.



You can't see the skirt in this picture but you can see that she is doing a casual look. Very very chic casual. I want it. You could dress it up or down... ooh geez I love it. I really do. It's probably for the best. I am going through a self-imposed shopping embargo. So far I've cheated once and found a loophole once. I can't get away with this skirt. My conscience and bank account would notice.

Does sewing count as shopping? DIY is more work than shopping and I guess it guess involve shopping for fabric.

I just hope that I don't go crazy when the embargo is lifted.
