It is once again time for a very lengthy post of recent clothing purchases that I got for awesome prices. Warning: this is pretty photo heavy. Enjoy!

"I really do believe that art changes the landscape of the world." -Marc Jacobs

 Happy December everyone! I haven't made a blog post in quite a while as, alas, I have been swamped with schoolwork. I have quite a few posts to make so look out for those soon! Today I wanted to share and review a few items I've purchased/received as gifts from Marc by Marc Jacobs. Meet Katie the bunny, Pickles the puppy, and Shorty the dog!

“Happy, happy fashion - there is not much more to it than that." -Marc Jacobs

There's no article of clothing I find more exquisite than an easy, chic silk blouse. This particular one joined the ranks of my closet just yesterday, and I am so excited to wear it. There's not a detail about it that I don't adore!

Currently Coveting: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Marc by Marc Jacobs makes up a pretty gargantuan part of my wardrobe. I really enjoy the carefree, whimsical aesthetic of the diffusion line. The pieces are always great quality - I don't have anything from MbMJ that I've been disappointed with. I am tremendously in love with some of these new Marc by Marc Jacobs pieces!

"From the time we're born until we die, we're kept busy with artificial stuff that isn't important." -Tom Ford

 

I am beyond in love with my new phone. I got the iPhone 4S recently, and it's great. :)

"I always believed that style was more important than fashion. They are rare, those who imposed their style while fashion makers are so numerous." -Yves Saint Laurent

 

I am so excited about this post! I had a truly wonderful day today and on top of that, I found some amazing stuff. I apologize for the not exactly superb photographs, but I recently started school so I'm not able to be home at the best times for good lighting. All of the items in this post were thrifted from different places (on different days haha), and I love everything I got.

What's in my bag?

I had a few people on Tumblr request that I do a post on here featuring the stuff in my bag, so here goes...lol

"If I read too much or know too much it's not because I want to talk about it, it's only because it's interesting for me." -Karl Lagerfeld

Whenever I get a new....well, anything, I try to think of interesting ways to wear it. The Valentino bow clutch I recently purchased is a bit of a challenge, mostly because it's blue, while my new/old (haha) vintage bags are much easier to match.

"Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical with the desirable." -Donna Karan

Since it snowed, New York has become a dangerous place to be a pedestrian. Murky slush threatens to ruin your favorite Prada shoes with every step you take. Regardless of how painstakingly you tip toe through the treacherous terrain, some areas have a thin blanket of ice left there by lazy or otherwise incapable homeowners. Thankfully, the amount of such areas is diminishing rapidly. To comfort myself during these troubling times (joking, obviously), I purchased a new blouse from Theory to tide me over until spring, along with a dinky little key pouch from Marc by Marc Jacobs, as you can see above.

"I wanted this, I wanted to do this, but my work is me, and it has to be right." -Oscar de la Renta

In this post I'm going to show you a couple of items of clothing I've purchased and the things I got my mommy for her birthday. :)

"We're dealing with sophisticated customers. What's most important to these women is individuality. I have to create things she'll want to wear, no matter who she is." -Oscar de la Renta

I got quite a few requests on Tumblr to do a post about my New Year's gifts, so here goes. I really did not expect much this year and I was perfectly fine with that, but I was really pleasantly surprised.

"Fashion may be part of their world, but it's not their whole life. It's not everything." -Marc Jacobs

Hmmm, what could be inside this pretty gift box from Saks? ;)

Currently Coveting: Tibi, Juicy Couture, Marc by Marc Jacobs

I was browsing Tibi's website earlier and I saw a bunch of really beautiful things. I absolutely love Tibi. I only have a few things from the brand (two skirts, a blouse, and two cardigans) but they're all gorgeous pieces.

"I don't do fashion; I am fashion." -Coco Chanel

I've done a lot of shopping and thrifting in the past couple of months but I haven't posted a few of my purchases, so I decided to make a joint post with today's finds (a Theory blazer, a Marc by Marc Jacobs shirt, a Theory sweater, and a Kate Spade cardigan) and previous purchases. If you're interested, keep reading! :)

"Dressing is a way of life." -Yves Saint Laurent

This post is going to be about some items I've thrifted (a Marc by Marc Jacobs camisole, a Lorick dress, a Theory sequin tee, and a Missoni scarf) and a few other random goodies!

"You live but once; you might as well be amusing." -Coco Chanel

I'm finally going to do an update on all of the stuff I've bought recently! :) First, I'd like to show you my thrift store finds:

I fell in love with this oversized Piazza Sempione blazer and the blue interior.

"The most important relationship you have in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens you will always be with yourself." -Diane von Furstenberg

So, I've finally decided what I'm going to wear to my grandmother's birthday party this weekend! It's not too formal, so I decided against wearing a dress. 

“There's no Chanel collection without black. (It) will never exist. Who can live without some black clothes?” -Karl Lagerfeld

This post is going to be dedicated to a few things in my closet that I'm excited about wearing this spring :)

“Dressing is a way of life.” -Yves Saint Laurent

As always, I've gone shopping. It's remarkable how I manage to shop even when I literally have NO MONEY!
