6 Obsessions: Designer Black Leather Handbag

As the seasons start to change (or are supposed to...it's still 100 degrees here in LA), I always like to cultivate some points of focus for my wardrobe. This week, I will be posting 6 of them total...and this is my last one. This post features my ultimate unicorn piece: the perfect black, leather designer handbag.  Since these can get up into the 4 digits, my attempts to find these in the clearance racks are vast, yet very unsuccessful thus far. But someday: I WILL get one of these beauties.

6 Obsessions: Black + White

As the seasons start to change (or are supposed to...it's still 100 degrees here in LA), I always like to cultivate some points of focus for my wardrobe. This week, I will be posting 6 of them total. This post features my current favorite "color" combo, Black + White.

Linklettes

This week has been an odd mix of overly busy and bored to tears waiting...which makes for a confused sleep schedule and sore muscles. It also means inspiration is either FULL ON KICKING or in zilchland. Right now I'm feeling the later. Here are the few links I can muster up on behalf of this Friday's Linklettes post...I'm sorry, chubblettes. I promise to do better next time =)


- Die Antwoord's Video for Rich Bitch

- Damn You Alexis for City Chic



- Mugler Special in Vogue Hommes Japan
UNF. Boner James '11! My husband sooooooo needs those pants...

More True Blood Videos

- Paley Fest '11 True Blood Cat Interviews (Season 4 Tidbits)
I'm excited for season 4, because it coincides with my favorite book of the Sookie Stackhouse series. Also: I ALWAYS forget that Jason Stackhouse is really Australian...it's so much cuter than his Louisiana hick accent. Oh haven't you heard? I'm a giant nerd.

Purikura for Valentine's Day

I'm back from Vegas and yesterday Joe and I hung out to celebrate our first Valentine's Day as a married couple. We went to lunch and the japanese photo boots, or Purikura (japanese for "Picture Club"). I was hoping to get better views of my full outfit for an OOTD, but those images ended up being too little (chalk it up to timed image choices and bad Japanese to English translations). Regardless, I'll include the details in case anyone is curious AND has a magnifying glass.





Dress - Evans
Leggings - Alexander McQueen for Target
Necklace - Nordstrom
Skirt - American Apparel
Heart Suspenders + Stud Ring - Hot Topic
Bow Ring - Forever 21
Heart Chain Bracelet - Tarina Tarantino
Ribbon Worn as a Bracelet - from a Betsey Johnson Bag
Heart Buckle Cuff - Torrid

Remembrance

In remembrance of cruelly losing the legendary Alexander McQueen, here is a photo montage of the gorgeous things he created for Beth Ditto.









And, who could forget, his PADDED dresses that turned his models into curvy bombshells.



RIP, Alexander.
