eBay score

I am both happy and sad to report that not much has been going on in the shopping front for me in this new year.  This is what happens when a single girl buys a house in the fancy suburbs.  Alas, I still do more than my fair share of window shopping and try my best to find the prettiest new things, and best deals where deals are to be had. 
I have a little bit of spring fever and have been wishing for sandal weather and light-colored clothes.  In the spirit of spring, I scored this lovely number off eBay last night, and got a wonderful deal to boot!
Miss Nanette Lepore, circa ??, for thirty-six big ones, yay!

 

Oh, Monique...

From Fashion Week, this Monique Lhuillier is so very gorgeous, my favorite from fall 10.

I believe I saw an ad for her wedding gown version of this, done in a lovely ivory. *sigh*

The Bags

A lot has kept me busy the last couple of weeks and it doesn't look like my schedule is going to clear up for a while.  I haven't blogged as much as I intended, but such is life.  I will get back in the 'swing of blog' hopefully in a few weeks; in the meantime, I wanted to share what my beloved SO did while I was on vacation. He took it upon himself to gather all of my bags, which were all over the place, and neatly arranged them on these shelves.  He's a keeper! 

It's so much easier to change bags now that they are all residing in one spot.  Also, I have learned a couple of things:  I had no concept of how many bags I actually owned, I definitely have a preference for Marc Jacobs, and why on earth don't I have any purple bags if that's one of my favorite colors?!  Hmm... birthday gift? ;)
