"Sometimes I'm so fabulous I'm jealous of myself." -Juicy Couture

For the longest time, my style inspiration has been Blair Waldorf. The brands she's dressed in are often my favorites (such as contemporary designers Nanette Lepore, Tibi, Milly, and Marc by Marc Jacobs), and her classy, polished looks are adorable. I love high-waisted skirts, silk blouses, classy cardigans, bright and patterned tights, and super-expensive bags. Unfortuantely, what with saving up for a Chanel bag, I can't really afford to go shopping unless I find an amazing deal (granted, I'm pretty good at that). I feel as if I have a lot of clothing and a lot of shoes, but not enough bags. I want to save up and buy a medium black caviar with SHW Chanel 2.55, a YSL Muse (though I have to go to Saks to see if I can wear it as a shoulder bag, because I'd want it for school), and a Miu Miu bow satchel. I also really want a MJ Stam, an LV Alma, a Chanel Jumbo, a large Lady Dior, a Goyard St. Louis, a Gucci Boston Joy, and of course, a Birkin. Those are all bags I want to acquire, and I'm not very patient. I wish I could go and buy them all now! 

I love this LV Alma! Blair looks super cute and classy here, definitely something I would wear.
I recently ordered this pretty watch from ideeli: 

The watch is from Invicta and I'm hoping I like it when I get it, which should be around the time of my birthday. Apparently it was originally $495, but I ordered it for $69. I'm a little wary of it because it's not a brand I am familiar with, and also because I feel as if I shouldn't be spending money. I think when I'm wealthier I'll probably go and get this:

"I'm obsessed with perfection to the point that it's nearly an illness." -Tom Ford

Let's start off with the usual - recent purchases:
I bought a Juicy Couture bi-colored wool coat for the winter/fall, just because I don't want to wear out my Dolce & Gabbana and also since I wanted a long wool coat to wear with skirts and such. This one looks very classy, matches my Burberry scarf and Blumarine gloves (as well as my black cashmere Juicy scarf, come to think of it), and will be very useful.
This weekend I attended a lunch at Savoy in SoHo, and this is what I wore:

Above: Dolce & Gabbana coat, MbMJ dress, Betsey Johnson tights, Dolce & Gabbana oxford pumps, LV Speedy, and a headband from Henri Bendel
I broke in my Dolce & Gabbana pumps and you know what? I really like them. I'm hoping to wear them to school one of these days - just on a day when I don't have to walk much.
Today I skipped the gym, but I didn't break my diet (I was tempted to). Tomorrow I'll work out. I figure I won't be as strict with myself on weekends, although I should be going to the gym four times a week, not just three. Next weekend will be different, because I'll have the opportunity to go on either Saturday or Sunday, instead of just Sunday.
