we all knew this post was coming.

now, if i were the only blogger not to do a post on the Versace for H&M collection that that would really make me not fun but completely unique! while i would love to camp out over night for my H&M to open tomorrow at 8, i actually have something scheduled at 7:30 that i cannot miss so iam going to stride in with hopeful thoughts and fingers crossed that there will be something left for me to snag.

in the meantime, you can imagine i have been scouring the interweb for images and making a list of items that i have my heart and mind set on purchasing. so, shall we begin?

fur vest with buckles $69.99

studded skirt $149

men's button down with metal tip collars. you know me, a sucker for small details and collared shirts $49.95

most beautiful statement bracelet $34.95

leather bag. from the shape to the chain...ugh...just LOVE. comes out to about $160 (converted from British pounds)

limited edition choker. i can't find the price anywhere but apparently it's hard to get your hands on.

statement choker $59.95

 men's shoes for my brother $129

my "maybe's if i really want to blow my life's savings" and "gosh, i wish" items:

studded shirt. i would love to pair this with the studded skirt and play with the lines. $49.95

suede boots $179

 floral leggings $29.95

floral dress. i just love the colors and the asian influence of this print. $149

bustier. this isn't something i would wear but i really appreciate the detail. $129

studded mini bag. about $110

i just love the colors in this. if they don't have the black one, iam running for this one.

leather studded dress. i wish! $299

the beautiful ads (photos from google images):

lovelovelovelove! i thought the men's line really hit the mark.

this dress and the babydoll dresses are not my style, but this just goes to show that the collection really caters to all styles.

is there anything more glamourous?

this is definitely my favorite. i just love the asian influence of the shot and print.

so here is my wishlist. please cross your fingers for me!!!!

i will leave you with this lovely shot of my dream necklace from http://www.fashionsquad.com/

it's...november?

so in the time i was gone, the leaves fully changed colors, there was a freak snow storm on the east coast, and well, i missed a few days. where was i? what happened to charlie? well, would you believe it if i told you a fell into a whole and ended up in wonderland?

and while i was there i stopped by the local TJ Maxx and to my amazement, again, there were some beautiful things. For instance:

Badgley Mischka

orig: $400.00

TJ Maxx: $199.99

Cynthia Rowley

orig: $215.00

TJMaxx: $129.99

Fendi

orig: $495.00

TJMaxx: $299.99

Celine

orig: $1950.00

TJMaxx: $1299.99

Lanvin

orig: $1695.00

TJMaxx: $1049.99

(there was a burgendy one and the TJMaxx price for that one was $1099.99. why? idk.)

Prada

orig: $2150.00

TJMaxx: $1449.99

not all of them are my favorite but i love the Celine, Lanvin, Prada, and Cynthia Rowley. and along with the bags, there was some fur, faux and not faux, and an array of shoes from an array of designers. Ferragamo, Prada, Dolce&Gabbana, YSL, Gucci...So amazed really. 

also, i managed to get in some online shopping while trapped in wonderland and i found these fascinating shoes on Forever21.com

fascinating right? the glitter reminds me of MiuMiu, the platform of tradition Japanese, Geta, although they aren't a full platform. maybe the trend has passed but i'm seriously considering purchasing these shoes. I did purchase a pair of Sam Edelman loafers. the name on the box is "s-illinois-steel met." i've been living in them. will post a pic soon. 

anyway, as you have imagined, i've managed to climb out of that hole just fine. turns out i was dreaming of designer shoes and fun, beautiful things and missed a couple of days.

what have you been up to? i have missed you.
