This!

This is incredible. Not only is it a disgustingly beautiful car. It's $1,000,000 PLUS. Yes! That's SIX zeros and then some. Zomg. I know this is a stupid thing to say, but, I want it. I also wish I still was working at Webb's so I could at least touch this bad boy. There is always something slightly seductive about a well maintained and restored old car. I think it's the glisten of the paint or that camel leather...I would look good in this car. Well, for a million bucks, I better look good.

Can I justify this?

Keep in mind that I can't seem to find a photo of these from the front. Granted, I didn't try super hard, but I did try.
302 pounds... like $620 NZD. Ok, wait, now that I converted it, they are kinda expensive... but so pretty! FROM THE SIDE.

Well , the time has come when I have decided I need to buy a bag. A real one. Like, a nice leather one. Flimsy canvas totes no longer cut it.
Seeing as the bag of my dreams -see below - is waaaaaaay out of my price range right now (sigh ! woe is me)


this could be the next best thing... Sarah, what do you think?



Granted, the leather will not be as buttery and smooth. And the hardware isn't gold. That long strap looks awfully long, I must admit..But its like, 650 dollars cheaper and that is $650 I could use for something else awesome.
Yes or no?

FIVE THINGS I MIGHT BUY THIS WEEK

Kurt Geiger, 79 pounds.



Kurt Geiger, 49 pounds.



Silence and Noise maxi, Urban Outfitters ,25 pounds.



Metallica tshirt, 15 pounds.



Topshop, 38 Pounds.

Before I feel guilty, ALL of these things are on sale. Every single one of them. Bringing my total to 206 pounds. About $420 NZD?? Not bad not bad. I whittled it down A LOT to get to this point so maybe I will do it. Or maybe I should save the money for a trip away or a bond for a new house.
To shop or not to shop??

P.s If I had to whittle more, I would first get rid of the Topshop top. Then maybe the maxi skirt, coz I already have two black ones (but not as good as that one!). Is this wise, Sarah??

Really?

I'm going to cut right to the chase here. Call me crazy, but I was really really underwhelmed by the Balmain Spring 2011 collection. It wasn't totally ugly - but it was boring. It seemed, dare I say it, a bit lazy. Torn tees and torn jeans. A rocker jacket and torn jeans, and so it went. What's going on here? This collection, to me anyway, seems like a 'fashion victim' collection - that only those with that combination of a need to be cool and lots o money would consider buying.


I'm a Balmain fan. Hello! Don't take me as a hater, it hurts a little to write this. But it really feels uninspired and lazy. Not just these terrible t-shirts, but the jeans, shorts, jackets - all so formulaic. And not just lazy in design but lazy with no attempt what so ever to hide or slightly conceal a tried and trusted formula to funnel money out of the hands of some very shiny people who want to look rock n roll but don't necessarily know why. Rock n roll by credit card.

Why the hell would you pay hundreds of dollars of these? Even if you had that much money - SPEND IT ON SOMETHING ELSE PLEASE! A Chanel 2.55, an over priced t-shirt from Alexander Wang, a lobster dinner! ANYTHING ELSE! And this coming from me - the girl you come to when you want to be convinced into buying something totally pointless and overpriced and still fee good about it after your credit card has been swiped. I would buy 'just a t-shirt' from Alexander Wang if I had the dough - I appreciate the quality, subtle tailoring it offers that Supre can't quite grasp, and yes I'd enjoy the fact that I just bought an Alexander Wang tee and could still pay my power bill that month. But this collection...I wouldn't go there at all. I mean seriously, even I could make these. I. Don't. Get. It.

Oh Dear

Now when I moved here to London (ok ok greater London,I live in the country at the moment) I promised myself that I wouldn't buy anything that wasn't absolutely necessary until I got a job.
Today that went out the window. I purchased this amazing one of a kind shirt.


Are those beaded tassels, you say? Yes, I reply, they are. Indeed beaded tassels and triangular metal studs. This shirt makes sound effects when I move!

But when else in my life am I going to see anything like this? And for the bargain price of 15 pounds? I had to do it. It was a moment of weakness and I felt rejected from all the retail bitched who accept my cv with a wary yet snobbish look in their eye. I needed a self esteem boost, and this shirt was the thing indeed.

I'm being very serious here guys

Phu-lease get into my life Karen Walker lapiz and diamond ring. This is getting more serious than the whole Chloe Sevigny Opening Ceremony boot fiasco. And we all (mostly a certain live-in co-writer) know what crazy proportions that almost got to. Sigh.


It just hit me! Just as I put that little pic up there. Yup that one right there. I'm gonna do this! I'm going to be (for once in my life) sensible with my money, which yes might at first seem like buying a very expensive ring would hinder that, but hear me out. I'm gonna save! Seriously save! I'm going to run off now and find a jar I can put money into. Then when I have enough I'm not going to deposit the money back into my account. I'm going to march down to Karen Walker with my jar of pennies (and notes, I am a semi-adult here) and pay CASH!

Watch this space y'all.

Fundraiser

Hi y'all! So I know this is blog is a bit of a joke and all, but this is really serious. A while back I fell in love with these boots. It's gotten pretty serious and I really NEED them in my life. Donations welcomed; very, very welcomed. Come on guys, help a sister out won't 'cha?

THANKS! xoxo Gossip S


p.s. Found my new frenemy. It's called eBay

Dang It!

So Bif and I didn't win the lottery last night. Sigh, I guess y'all are just going to have to wait just that little bit longer to see a fully realised whale revolution. All in good time.
In other news: as many know, I have this 'job' where I interact with adults and such. The dress code is casual-cool...for adults. This makes me feel slightly weird and limited in my everyday dressing and I have pretty much settled to wearing the same black dress every day which in turn makes me feel like Wednesday Addams. However after googling little Wednesday it turns out that her outfit is slightly, okay very much, different from my dress. Oh well, I still feel her attitude.

The best things in life are free...

theoutnet.com is like a slap in the face. I eagerly awaited its launch and its promise of slashed luxury clothing only to find their 80% quick fire sale an utter disappointment and these following 'cheap as chips' items


Stella McCartney rhinestone paillette mini dress at 30% off £2764.13


Burberry Prorsum military style short jacket at 60% off £1615.19

And finally this little beauty. Something I think the designers for Pigani turn to for inspiration.
