"I’m human. If I didn’t make mistakes, I’d never learn. You can only go forward by making mistakes." -Alexander McQueen

As you may have noticed from my latest posts, I'm obsessed with McQueen. In the past couple of months, I've added a few new pieces to my collection. Both can be purchased (on sale) here, here, here, here, or here.

Over the past few weeks, I've picked up quite a few items of clothing. I figured I'd compile them all into one post, so click behind the cut if you're curious! :) I didn't pay full price for any of these things and managed to get good deals on pretty much everything. :D

"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!

"Clothes and jewellery should be startling, individual." -Alexander McQueen

I am a major sucker for McQueen costume jewelry, so for me, this burgundy and gold bracelet was too perfect to pass up. You can purchase this bracelet from the following places:

Net-A-Porter | Bergdorf Goodman | Matches | Neiman Marcus | Farfetch | Forward by Elyse Walker | Saks

Sporadic Snapshots: Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope your Halloween was fun, safe, and full of delicious candy and delightful costumes! To all those affected by Hurricane Sandy, you are in my thoughts and I hope you, your friends, and your families are safe. Many people had their entire homes and businesses destroyed, while others experienced flooding, power outages, and damage to personal property. We luckily only lost power for a few hours. If you live in New York, there are plenty of opportunities for volunteering and helping out, or you can just donate clothes, food, or money to numerous Hurricane Sandy relief charities.
This post is going to be a collection of recent photos, mostly instagrammed, that I have yet to post on Blogger. :)

Yves Saint Laurent is unfortunately going to be discontinuing one of my favorites - the Arty ring. I took advantage of Saks's Friends & Family sale to order my fourth and final Arty. I'm sorely disappointed that they won't be making them anymore! :(

"I hate leisure, except reading. I'm really a person made to work, if sketching is considered work." -Karl Lagerfeld

As I put together this post, I can't help but steal glances at my new Acne boots. They are propped up in front of me atop their box, untouched and unworn, waiting to be taken around the streets of New York. They've yet to click-clack down the gritty cement sidewalks; they've yet to wobble around the cobblestone roads of SoHo. I can't wait to break in the supple leather and make these my own.
