Anti Hoarding Behavior: Make Me An Offer on My Stuff

I love these items, but I haven't worn them in a while and I'm deciding to sell them. I had my fun, why not let someone else enjoy them? The money will go to reducing my debt. I just bought a house last year and I'm realizing that having all this stuff is just not necessary, especially if I'm not wearing all of it. Why not share the wealth? Want something real bad? Feel free to make me an offer on anything.

My dream shoe just doesn't fit right: Selling my new Valentino Rockstuds

I haven't worn them yet because I prefer my slingbacks to have more platform on the heel — these fit exactly to my foot, in other words "true to size" but I want more heel for the price I paid for them. I want perfect! Problem is: I bought them before I went on vacation and have been sitting for a couple weeks in my office. Oops. My bad. 

(Your good, though!)

Selling them on Tictail: less than retail price

Brand new, patent leather Valentino Rockstuds.

Happly Halloween

I'm dressing up as the original Valentino Fall 2013 muse, Wednesday Addams. Partly because I own 99% of the necessary items to create a Wednesday Addams outfit — a collar and a black dress — and partly because I am still a super-fan of Cristina Ricci's lack of enthusiasm and dead-pan delivery on every line in the Addams Family movie.

"I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes"

1. STEVEN ALAN 2. ANTON HEUNIS 3. DRIES VAN NOTEN X LINDA FARROW 4. VALENTINO 5. DION LEE 6. ZARA

I think what I like most about these Zara loafers is that they make traditionally girly outfits a little bit more institutionalized. Lanvin showed me how to wear them for night time for seasons now, and I am hooked, people. I personally like the feeling of being unexpected. Like, of course this Dion Lee skirt, with it's intricate tidal wave detail will be paired with an even finer heel to elongate thy ladies' legs. Sure, a strappy little thing like the Saint Laurent shoes everyone is going nuts over may work just beautifully, but you know what? The flats make it seem a little bit like something out of the 50's. And I like that. Simpler times. Unexpected nostalgia. A tough girl attitude infused automatically into another wise shiny, Valentino-studded, any time outfit.

Here. this is what this outfit sounds like to me:

Hanne Gaby Odiele, Modern Mod

What a beautiful statement and a compelling argument to keep it simple. It's the most stylish iteration of a basic pocket tee that I've seen in a while. I ilke when an outfit is composed of two or three things at most, with virtually indiscernible designer labels except for one powerful "it" item. In this case, the Valentino Va Va Voom clutch.

My my my, what a thing of beauty, no? Why did I not notice the slight difference in the rockstud slingbacks and the flats before? So beautiful! Shop them here!

Goth Sophistiqué

If it weren't for the plethora of feminine details, I'd confidently agree with you that this otufit is indeed too dark. Almost goth even. But when you're talking about a sea anemone-esque silk blouse from Prabal Gurung paired with a sexy Rick Owens Lilies slit wrap skirt, all that black becomes more digestible than you think. Taking a note from muse Jenna Lyons, work this look with a quirky pair of Cutler and Gross opticals and a fiery red lip. The Alexander McQueen bow-embellished booties are oh-so girly in rich black suede, which only serves to compliment the luxe studded Valentino Va Va Voom clutch.

Valentine's Day Every Day

This is what love looks like. Just sayin'.

A real provocative Markus Lupfer sweater with a sequined mouth is the way to kickstart some romance, no? It plays to your sense of the graphic while sticking to the irresistible pastel covered spring 2012 palette. What better way to highlight such a cutsey palette than by using shades of gold. Rose gold to be exact. I'm thinking an amazing Maison Martin Margiela rose gold metal and fabric belt. Have you ever seen such a beautiful thing? No, right?! Plum colored 3.1 Phillip Lim pants in a silky fabric keep things, how you say, sensual.

Accessories time: Sticking with our optimistic theme that we saw here, here, and here) let's put on some  Stella McCartney rose colored glasses. Punk and luxury meet in the middle with a Valentino studded clutch (love this so much),  a rose gold Michael Kors watch, and topped of with super-on-sale DSquared2 Furia Heels.

This is love. Get used to it.

Hello, Sailor

If was going on a vacation right now, I'd be wearing this: Valentino studded leather headband for rock-appeal, Miu Miu acetate aviators to appear bad ass, Red Valentino pink bow sandals to offset said bad ass style, and a combination of sailor stripes via Day Birger Et Mikkelsen and a scalloped bikini by Miu Miu.
