LAST MINUTE “X-MAS SHOPPING”//(yeah right jane, in your dreams!!)

Fashion
Dec 24, 200853 Comments

I was alerted by Jak and Jil this morning that Luisaviaroma had gotten there spring shipment online!! To pre order. Sigh.

I did a little imaginary Christmas shopping in my head.
GIVENCHY COAT
  
DOLCE & GABBANA BELT
BALMAIN DENIM MILITARY JACKET 
* look at those shoulders *
A VERSION OF THE GIVENCHY COWBOY BOOTIE
BALMAIN  STUDDED SANDAL 

*oh my*

ANOTHER ANN DEMEULEMEESTER BOOT/SANDAL SIGHTING 
* yes I stalk these shoes *

—————————————————————————————–
On an unrelated note:
Today I am wearing my chrome wedge Marni peeptoe booties from Fall 2007.
Definitely some of the best shoes of that season.

And thank you very much to the people who sent me such nice birthday wishes yesterday! :)
Merry Christmas everybody!

    I should have known that you already knew about the spring stuff on luisaviaroma! Gorgeous! (and pricey too). I am a huge Ann D fan and I am obsessed over the booties ever since I saw them online- can’t wait to try them for real! Happy Holidays and Happy Birthday! My husband’s was the other day too.

    It’s really nice to see how much you like the Belgian designers (Dries van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester). As a Belgian I prefer the Givenchy booties and the studded sandals :) Happy holidays!

    I rarely go shopping in stores anymore, but last minute X’mas shopping led me here today. The last time I was here which must have been over 5 years ago, the store was massive with rows and rows of racks. I love discount shopping but I can’t stand disorganized stores no matter how deep the discount might be.
