I utterly and irreversibly fell in love with this bag as soon as I saw it. The appealing contrast of textures, the subtle frills, and the icing on the cake: a heart-shaped padlock, make it irresistible. Unfortunately, it's sold out on the Luella site where it was marked down to 60% off. Ah I would love to own just one piece of Luella.

Four years is far too long to be lusting after one pair of shoes. Sadly though, that's exactly what I've been doing, and I honestly never thought I would be able to afford a pair of these gorgeous Chloe oxfords (see what being a student does to your morale?). But four years is a long time and the prices have dropped since then! You'll find me scouring eBay for a pair of these ... at least three times a day.

I have been neglecting my arm candy of late. I wore my CC Skye-inspired double wrap until I grew sick of the sight of it, then alternated between stacks of silver or gold bangles, but my heart lies with statement pieces. While searching for a pearl bracelet I came across this one by Kate Spade, which is superior in design by far. The detail of the little gold cups between each pearl makes it truly stunning, as does the touch of the black grosgrain ribbon.

As I said before: I love statement pieces. And what makes more of a statement than the gorgeous Collier de Chien cuff by Hermes? I'm very fond of the black crocodile leather with gold hardware but for myself I would choose a soft brown leather with gold hardware. I wish someone would make an inspired-by version already.
Love the Luella bag, I had it in my wishlist along with the matching purse :)
The Chloe shoes are divine ...but I think I'll barely last 5 minutes in them, much less a whole day!
xo
I try and block out in my memory the day I didn't buy those Chloe booties. They were on sale too, but my boyfriend said how hideous they were and I was stupid enough not to get them. NEVER EVER AGAIN!
That Hermes cuff is tdf!
LOVE that Luella purse and the platform booties. Super adorable bracelet as well. I think I'm in love... :)
Those Chloe shoes are amazing. !
Wow! I like the Luella bag so much!!!
Oh those Chloe's!!! I love them so much!
The Luella bag is so gorgeous. And at 60% off too!?
hey darl! i was extremely happy to be featured in the same issue as you. my bracelet is hermes, i see you've already featured it in your post. I was lucky enough to get a relative bring one down from europe, its way too expensive with the luxury tax to buy it in australia :(
GOD...you post the most irresistible items! I loveeeeee loveeee loveeee the pearl bracelets! I was going to get an Hermes bracelet (the thin ones with a H clasp) earlier but passed it on because I realised I didn't REALLY love them. For me to spend that much money on a bracelet, I have to LOVE them.
I love the booties as well!!!
Ahh the Silverados :( I think you should start some serial saving.. I'm talking vaults and the like to lock away your $ (in small deposits of course!) Love the cuff too D:

I love Luella. I need that bag! I could always win the lottery one day...
I have the silverado wedges. They're really comfortable for how high the heel is.
I found them on ebay after years of looking for them too :)
I also love statement accessories or pieces or clothing. More the accessory type of girl tho I think. But anyway... gotta find a wicked well-paid job first.
OMG! I LOVED THE SHOES!
Ohhh, these are all lovely!
Oh you just reminded me those Chloe booties I wanted them too!
Love the bag too xx
that luella bag is amazing.
I totally love the shoes and it's chloe!

Those Chloe heels are stunning. Your obsession is completely understood.

I love the chloe booties! If only they were wedges and I'd be ebay obsessing over them like you are.
Also that hermes cuff! TDF!!!!
I'm fairly sure there will be some inspired by pieces floating around soon.
Love the blog, as usual!

♥Lola - There's a matching purse?? That would be lovely x Sushi
Kati C. - Haha I wouldn't be able to either! The runway ones are an inch or so higher than the ones actually sold instore. So apparently they're actually quite comfortable! x Sushi
an92 - A vault for savings is a fantastic idea :) x Sushi
Amie - Ah no I accidentally published a draft post I was working on so deleted it again. Damn bloglovin! x Sushi
Loving the Kate Spade bracelet--it's so Gossip Girl!! Definitely going on my myregistry.com birthday wish list (yes, I "registered" for my birthday! How else am I going to avoid getting L.L. Bean sweaters from my Aunt?).
I have the (Bigger) Luella Military Jazz bag from the same Luella collection, AW09/10, it's so hot,the prime of my collection. Great site. Love!
