“so you wanna spin the world around”

 

Sooo it's date night.  

Always a good excuse for me to make up a new outfit.  I found this Tucker for Target tank in the back of my closet.  I LOVE when I forget about clothing and find it, it's like Christmas all over again.

I LOVE this man.

 

John galliano

OK…

 Not in the, "let's get married and have babies way" more like in the, "if you could just design everything I will ever wear in this lifetime that would be GREAT" way.

This is how I imagine our relationship would go…


 

                           Me:       "Hey John-John?"

                 Galliano:     "Yes, love of my life, Allyson Darling!!!"

                          Me:      "Sweetheart, could you make me a dress for:

 

Dior1

when I'm walking Roxy in the park?"

 


Dior2

when I'm going to an imaginary board meeting?"

 


Dior3

when I'm acting like a 1950's hussy?"

 


Dior5

when I want to look profession yet stuck in the 50s — in a good way?"

 


Dior6

when I want chins to drop?"



Dior8

when I need a trench coat on a rainy day?"

 

 

Dior9
 

when I want to channel Marie Antoinette minus that whole unpleasant decapitation incident?

Dior10 

when I want to pretend I'm Dita Von Teese?"

 


Dior11 

when I want to casually look PERFECT?"

 


Dior12 

when I want to feel like Jackie Kennedy?"

 


Dior13

when I need extra padding on my bum… such as on an icy day?" *

 

(*Like 5 days ago, cough, cough, bruised bum, cough, cough.)


 

Dior15

when I'm hungry for lemon sherbet but I don't want the calories?" 

 


Dior16

when I want to say, "not tonight honey, I'm tired from dragging around 50 pounds of feathers?"

 

 

Dior18

when I want to look like a frothy cappuccino ?"

 

 

Dior19

when I want to go incognito?"

 


Dior20

when I want to feel the earth move with every step of my overpriced Louboutin?"

 

 

              Me:       "Awwww, thanks baby!  LOVE YOU!!!!!

   Galliano:       "Love you too!"

             Me:        "Umm, darling, why does this check to the pool boy have so many zeros? 

Galliano:           ……………………….

            Me:         "Well, crap… "

“I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes”


I've spent $40,000 on shoes and I have no place to live? I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes!

- Carrie Bradshaw, Sex and the City

Soooo it would be safe to assume that Carrie and I share the same obsession.  But I don't have $40K to blow on shoes like she did.  How do I feed my need for fashion and not live in a shoe box?


Sales. Sales. And more sales.


Let's break this down… 


Sadly for designers the economy has crushed the fashion industry.  With poor sales looming, designers are forced to heavily discount their goods.  And voila, sales of 50, 60 and 75 percent off can be found at your favorite stores.  In addition, "invitation only" sales have started to crop up. 


Here are a few of my favorite invitation-only sales – just click on the links for an invite.*

Mood – Sales Queen

Song -  Heads Will Roll by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (my link is down… grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!)

*Time for the fine print… I receive credit for everyone that buys something from theses sales.  After you sign up and you recommend a friend to join and they make a purchase you will receive credit too!  Most of these "credit"  will give you a one time only discount of $25.  Basically it a win/win situation for everyone.  As Martha Stewart would say, "it's a good thing."

Still need convincing it's not a scam (I was suspicious too) check out this Forbes article…
