Every day Extravagance

craving-for-fall.jpg

I try to provide different price points when I’m putting together collages, but sometimes it’s fun to pull together the most outrageously exorbitant pieces.  Not only is this an exercise in creating wish lists of the most grandeur fashion, but it also helps you pinpoint what you really love and uncover any themes that emerge.  Case in point: I clearly am on the hunt for (more affordable) sequins, a leather bomber jacket, a edgy twist on a classic black bag, heels with hardware and strong cuffs for my wrist.

1. Adam Sequin-embellished jersey sweatshirt, $545
2. 3.1 Phillip Lim Sequin-embellished frock coat, $1,500
3. See By Chloe Chiffon sequined skirt, $395
4. Twenty8Twelve Cropped leather jacket, $618.75
5. 3.1 Phillip Lim Leather flying jacket, $995
6. Chloe Paraty python tote, $3,820
7. Miu Miu Nappa quilted hobo, $1,495
8. Jimmy Choo Blythe large tote, $1,895
9. Balmain Buckle-embellished boots, $1,605
10. Brian Atwood Miri leather ankle boots, $785
11. Alexander Wang Buckled leather ankle boots, $690
12. Roberto Cavalli Studded leather cuff, $735
13. Alexander McQueen Resin studded cuff, $305
14. John Hardy 18-karat gold Dot cuff, $1,995

Love the Adam Sequin-embellished jersey sweatshirt, the 3.1 Phillip Lim Sequin-embellished frock coat, the Balmain boots and the cuffs!!!!!!!!!!

I have been absolutely OBSESSED with those Balmain boots. Beyond obsessed. I stare at a picture of them on the “inspiration” board in my closet every day.

And of course, the Chloe Paraty. I keep telling Hubs I need every Chloe bag because, duh, it’s MY NAME but he isn’t buying it. Literally He asked me if my name were Coach, if I would want all of those bags…and gasssp, I had no reply.

*sniffles*

Usually you include some great steals in the mix from Charlotte Rouse or Forever… hahah, but not today!

Oh well. Although all of the items don’t make my monthly budget, I STILL love them =)

I love those Balmain boots, one can dream!

Those Balmain boots are killer, as is the Chloe tote. And the John Hardy cuff – I die. ;)

While the buckle boots – which I absolutely want – may only be in style for a few seasons, splurging on jewelry or outerwear is (if you can afford to) never a bad idea! These are things you can wear season and after season, and you chose some gorgeous pieces — that shearling trim bomber jacket is insane!!

8 Samantha { 10.08.09 at 4:41 am }

Oh those bags! You must tell us if you find a steal!

9 Runway Hippie { 10.08.09 at 4:44 am }

i saw the phillip lim coat at barneys on fashions night out and DIED. it’s sooo amazing! i wish i could afford it!

You’ve pinpointed all my favourite trends right there! It’s all about the glam rocker look, with the hardware, luxe fabrics and glitzy overtone. Sigh.

LOVE the Balmain boots!

p.s. its spelled “extravagance”

12 Christina { 10.08.09 at 6:10 am }

Love the bomber jacket with the fur and that gold sequin coat might be the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

13 Liv { 10.08.09 at 6:24 am }

Everything is gorgeous (and safely out of reach price-wise) but I can’t take my eyes off those cuffs!!

16 katie { 10.08.09 at 7:24 am }

well once you find a more affordable version of those black bags i certainly hope you share with the rest of us – i’ve been on the hunt myself, but without much success.

17 Tiers of Joy { 10.08.09 at 7:46 am }

If only most of these pieces didn’t cost as much (or more) as a month’s rent! Beautiful choices, though … It’s fun to dream, isn’t it?

18 blair { 10.08.09 at 7:57 am }

Oh, wow! That chloe sequined shirt is high a top my dream fall wardrobe list!

19 Girl With Kaleidoscope Eyes { 10.08.09 at 8:14 am }

Loving that skirt! Beautiful x

20 Talk Pretty To Me { 10.08.09 at 8:15 am }

25 Allison { 10.08.09 at 9:42 am }

That Chloe skirt is to DIE for! I die…

26 Jessica (Brown Eyed Aesthetic) { 10.08.09 at 9:57 am }

I love it! Lately, I’ve noticed more and more sequin pieces at thrift stores…maybe check there for pieces that steal the look but keep the check book happy. ; )

27 Taylor Sterling { 10.08.09 at 9:59 am }

I wish I had the money to buy a few of these. They are so amazing. But, I have to say there is something to being able to shop at an afforable price and look like you spent a million bucks. Great choices girl!

28 Kristin { 10.08.09 at 10:04 am }

Everything that you are on the hunt for I am as well. I have had some great luck at ShopBop (purchased a fantastic leather bomber jacket w/studs), so check that site out. I am into cuffs as well, but have had a hard time trying to find any.

29 Kelsi { 10.08.09 at 10:06 am }

I drooled over each one of these, especially the Brian Atwood boots. Gorgeous!

30 Heather { 10.08.09 at 10:08 am }

I need a new black bag and those are all gorgeous!
Window shopping is great. Net a porter is my go to site for that. :)

31 Kate { 10.08.09 at 10:20 am }

Of course I love all the Phillip Lim! Maybe one day I’ll come across some of the fabulous sequins at Nordstrom Rack….And that Alexander McQueen studded cuff is amazing. I’ve had my eye on that for a while.

32 Cafe Fashionista { 10.08.09 at 10:24 am }

I’m obsessed with all things embellished with sequins at the moment. I just bought a sequin mini skirt from Forever 21 which I adore. Though I’d also love to add that See by Chloe Chiffon Sequined Skirt to my wardrobe – my bank account, however, won’t allow me to! :)

33 Emily { 10.08.09 at 10:45 am }

I’ve been on the lookout for a sequined dress and jacket. Those boots are fabulous too! I’m thinking about studding my own pair of shoes as a DIY project.

34 Thaïs Veronica { 10.08.09 at 10:54 am }

I really really want those Balmain boots!

35 Rachel (Heart of Light) { 10.08.09 at 11:23 am }
