Daktoa Fanning grew up and has awesome taste in bags

Hello Dakota, when did all of this happen? Best bag friends for life. Gimmie your hand me downs please - bags only though, although I'd probably be able to fit her clothes too.

Welcome to my life, ASOS

I'm just about to dive into my very first ASOS shopping experience. This will end badly, I can see it now - and by end I mean when I am 75 and have only clothes to live off. Anyway...ASOS has always frightened me a little, it's just so bloody massive! It's one of the most overwhelming shopping experiences I've every had - and that's a lot coming from me - the girl who can shop for 9 hours straight while jet-lagged and end the day happily and calmly at Topshop Oxford Circus on Boxing Day...yeah, that's right - easy breezy. But yet ASOS has always towered over me as one big fat scary shopping destination. However last night I was informed that it's offering FREE SHIPPING!!! So at 9am this morning, slightly-hung over, I loaded up my ASOS cart so quickly I blinked and missed it! But before I click checkout I have two very expensive problems to over come. Which dress to I give the cut to?

This one?

Or this one?

I'm thinking the pom pom one. I'm liking the novelty of mini pom poms all over my dress.

Boo Boo

Sometimes it's awesome being an independent lady (throw your hands up at me!). But sometimes it's not all that glamorous and amazers as Beyonce makes it all out to be. So here is the story (if you hate self-pitying rants stop reading now): I bought these shelves last weekend because while I am short my eye-line is actually higher than 2 inches off the ground. Anyway in a spur of enthusiasm I bought two sets of shelves. One made it up to my apartment (the other is still resting snugly in my car...) and it's just been chilling out all week seemingly going unnoticed to this guy I know. But tonight I had enough, they had to go up! Surely I've encountered worse self-assembly furniture nightmares before (god knows there's been a fair share) and I built it!


Ok so not only did I cut myself, stain the carpet with blood and took a very inappropriate near up-skirt photo of myself - the shelf is also totally bullshit! I followed the instructions to a tee and yet it wobbles like there is a strong gust of wind whirling around my room. I now see the flaw in the instructions (not my assembly skills) and could potentially take it apart and make it so much better, but I just don't have the will left in me to do that. This little project totally broke me tonight. I mean who the hell marks their product 'easy assembly!' and give instructions totally void of logic and what seems to be a complete lack of shelf structural knowledge as well as impossibly slippery and greased up bolts?! WHO??? (mutter, mutter, mutter)

Rihanna (and Sarah) gets all girly on your ass

I like this video, it made me like the song more. I will stand by that decision proudly. That's all really.

Isabel I Want

Hi, it's Sarah, remember me?

Just very quickly and to the point. I want these Isabel Marant Etoille pants. Like, so, SO much. They come in a less flamboyant and magical looking colour, but why would you want that - they are actually a lot darker and wearable in real life And are actually NOT flared as they weirdly seem in the photo. I have to see these guys every day and they won't stop hassling me.



Anyway boooooring, I have a shopping problem yada yada yada (but let's just be clear I'm not getting these, there is more that goes into it than just mon-aaaay) I'm going to blog more later in the week, about Kayne (oh yes) but right now my roast vegetables are close to crossing the line from roast to brunt.

If I could draw like this, I would be one happy camper. These are by Denise Nestor - some really awesome stuff coming up in an exhibition in Dublin called 'Brainbelt'. I think I have to get my pencils out and practice again coz at this point I'd be hard stretched to draw a 3-d cube.

Imaginary Shopping Cart Part II

Marc Jacobs shearling boots -



A couple things from Givenchy



Ann Demeulemeester cape




Balenciaga shoes



Sorry for all the rather unexciting blogging lately, I have a really really awful imaginary shopping addiction and I plan to quit very soon. Its hard to say no.
The offer of credit cards looms over my head with the allure of beautiful beautiful clothes - I know I should (and probably will say no) but the thought that these things COULD be mine!? siiiiggghhhhh. I'd have to quit eating and everyone knows that won't happen.

Next on the List

Theeeeeeesssseeee puppies have my name written all over them! At first I thought they were more Sarah than me (in a good way) but then I realized that perhaps my search for suitable work shoes that are cute and not converse or vans could be over with one simple purchase!

Buy online or face the chaos that is Oxford Circus topshop?? aarrrgggggghhhhhhhhhh

10 (more) things that remind me of Sarah - and mormons.

In the best way possible, of course. Fundamentalist Mormon style is something we aspire to from time to time (in all seriousness, Big Love is super inspirational).
But, sidenote; I, too would buy ALL of these things if I had the cash rolling around. Considering a couple come my next pay month!












All from Zara, by the way.

Christmas Present please

Not as shiny in real life, I'm sure, but also not a realistic request. If anyone has any lying around in a 38, send 'em my way.
