New, News and Novelties

i finally got to visit my more home than town of San Francisco. even though it's just a drive across the bridge, it's still so far.

We took a drive down to Pier 39 and walked around til about 12am. One thing that always draws me into a store is the small tables lined with assorted sunglasses that are a little too inspired by other brands designs. but that's usually where i find the best glasses that can be broken and thrown around and won't have to worry about the amount of money i paid. I haven't touched the Dior sunglasses i got in 7th grade since. I got 3 pairs. one was free.

the 1st pair (top left): are knock-offs of sunglasses i bought at UO a year ago, but these ones fit better. and i broke my UO ones, i was really upset.

the 2nd pair (top right:are HUGE and i love it. after breaking my absolute favorite pair of plain black sunglasses, and then losing the ones i replaced them with, these are a pretty good substitute..

the 3rd pair (bottom): the cashier said "buy 2 get one free" so i took the chance and picked these slightly over-sized aviators. they're kind of big on me, and make me look a little too much like Victoria Beckham. but they were free, and i'm sure i'll use them at some point.

and then, probably the most dreaded thing i did last night....i bought a fake purse. it felt so wrong, but the purse was adorable. i feel like im confessing a secret, but i bought a Miu Miu knock-off. oh god i really bought it. But the thing my mom always explains to me is that when you always have real designer bags and/or clothes, when you wear something fake no one will question you. And Miu Miu isn't really the most copy label at the street stores.

so the Pros and Cons of the bag....

Pros:

+It's gorgeous.
+Even if the MiuMiu decal comes off, it won't look like over used fake Chanel bag missing a C.
+Love, love, love the sea foam green
+Fits a lot of items

Cons:

-It's fake
-I saw the same exact bag, in the same store, but with a Versace logo....
-If you poke and examine it too much, it's completely obvious the material sucks.

even the though the guilt of buying a fake purse is a burden, i love the bag.

My mother walked in with her real Gucci bag and bought a fake Prada one. Yes, Prada, the mother of Miu Miu. pretty cute, no?

AND! i have recently found out about the arrival of TopShop.com USA.

amazing. i've been drooling over the topshop skirts on Polyvore, and now I can own them.

They even have a petite section (including pants) for us girls under 5"4 and/or really skinny.
