National Ugly Sweater Day

Friday at school (our last day before break) December 21st, was apparently "National Ugly Sweater Day." Although I wasn't particularly interested in throwing on a heavy wool and polyester Santa Claus contraption, many people did. And I have to tell you, Christmas sweaters can look cute! Don't get me wrong, the majority of them were--for lack of a better word--atrocious. But seriously, you can look cute in an ugly sweater sometimes!

I had a cute picture to upload but I'm on my sister's computer and I can't figure things out on here. I'll upload it later. So, the moral of the story is, if you're feeling festive, don't be afraid! Go ahead and wear that Christmas sweater that your grandma bought you last year.

Happy Holidays!

Hold the Pumps, Extra Flats

Prada has been pumpin' out the flats lately, and boy does it make me happy. They're chic, adorable, young and fun; unfortunately, they're not cheap. So at the moment all I can do is observe from afar. But hopefully, one day, my insatiable thirst for designer shoes will be quenched when I can put my claws on a pair of these babies. (Can you say, "sweet sixteen"? It's coming up!)

Marc Jacobs Dreamin'

The strangest thing just happened to me:
Last night, I somehow acquired an orange Marc Jacobs tote. Unfortunately, I woke up and realized that it was merely a chimerical, extravagant dream.
So, when I woke up this morning, I rushed to the computer and pulled up my bookmarked website: saksfifthavenue.com. I frantically shopped by designer and pulled up Marc Jacobs, scrolling through his collections of fabulous handbags, totes, and wristlets. I didn't find quite the tote that I had dreamed about last night, but I found something even better:


This is an adorable Marc by Marc Jacobs Standard Supply Tote.

But that's not the best part.

It's only $98! This baby goes straight to the Hanukkah list.

Advice for the Future

The other day during a trip to Saks Fifth Avenue, while I was (of course) snatching every Juicy Couture, Theory, Ella Moss and Nanette Lepore garment off the racks, my wise (and fairly worried) mother says:

"Sophie, you better make a lot of money one day. Or marry rich. 'Cause you got expensive taste."

I know, it's a curse.

A Cheesy Cliche Becomes Too Real

Love at first sight.
As shallow as it sounds, something ignites this flame in my soul as I walk by a showcase encasing the Prada Dressy Gaufre Frame handbag.
Sometimes, you just know. It's instant. You often stand and stare, holding your breath and hovering over it, not blinking because you're scared it'll be gone if you open your eyes. And you often don't move until your friend or sister grabs your arm and pulls you from the class showcase. And even then, you can't stop staring. And that's exactly how I felt, but in an understatement sort of way. That's the only way I can describe it, really.



Now do you see where I'm coming from?
