See by Chloé landscape print dress (was $495, now $297), Jimmy Choo Maxine shoulder bag (was $1,895, now $1,137), Isharya ebony square bangle (was $435, now $174), Christian Louboutin Very Croise sandals(was $775, now $310)

Net-a-porter's frugal sister, Outnet.com, opened its virtual doors today. The inventory is a little sparse still, and the good stuff went quickly (i.e. the Louboutins and Choos above), but the list of designers set to fill their "racks" seem very promising. Looking forward to more discounted Chloé, Sass & Bide, Elizabeth & James, 3.1 Phillip Lim and the numerous other brands coming!

i want candy

Candy stripes, to be exact. Found my-wardrobe.com through Cupcakes and Cashmere, and fell in love with the first thing I saw splashed on the page, which was this candy colored dress by Twenty8Twelve. It's a little sack like when you see it on the mannequin, and it does cost a whopping $336 so I'm not likely to buy it. But it does have me craving some candy in my wardrobe!

i wish

... that 5eizen would make pillows like this for throw pillow use. These are ring pillows for weddings, gorgeous ones at that, but I'd like a bigger version to put on my couch.

you dirty, dirty boy

Thinking of the character Edward Cullen in Twilight still makes me all weak-kneed, but reality seems determined to crush my daydreams into teeny tiny pieces. Robert Pattinson is apparently part of that legion of actors who feel it's unnecessary to bathe and wash their hair, according to People.com. Come to think of it, my other Hollywood crush Brad Pitt also once said on an interview that he gets fussed over so much on sets that during his time off, he doesn't pay much attention to showering or washing his hair (this was when he had loooooong hair, mind you). Hmm. Well if lack of hygene directly correlates to success, then Pattinson is destined for greatness! But dammit, why oh why must my biggest crush since Jordan Knight (I was 10, give me a break) have to be averse to showers? Sad face.

Also, another gem: Pattinson once took out a fan that was stalking him to dinner. Guess what happened? She got so bored that she stopped stalking him. Hmm. This guy sounds like a keeper.

On the other hand, does that mean if I stalk him long enough he'll take me out to dinner too?

I'm kidding, my sweetie (the real one), I'm totally kidding.

70s florals

I kind of love these tops at Forever 21, which are just $16.90 apiece. So tempted to get them because I love the vintage-y feel. They totally look like something worn on The Virgin Suicides (not that I've seen it). The thing is, I don't think I know how to wear tops like this! Argh. Style challenged. Do they go with high waisted skirts, shorts and jeans? Need to find 70s inspiration shots ...
