A Second Chance

While in New York I found this incredible designer resale store in Soho. It wasnt like your typical second hand "designer" store (Century 21 for example, an absolute cattle mart), it was a small, beautifully decorated citchy boutique, with clothes from desigers they'd even know in the schticks. Rails and rail of Chanel, Versace, Loubitons, Milano Blanhiks, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, you name it, it was there. Here I managed to find a STUNNING Vera Wang dress marked down from $450 to $112! Its an ivory and champagne silk cocktail dress with embellishment on top, and my first Wang!! Grabted I'm too terriffied of damaging it to wear it anywhere, but still, its all mine!! They ship overseas so if you fancy some designer bargains, head to

Clogs - They make me happy.

I will hold my hand up and ashamedly admit that when Karl Lagerfield decided that clogs were back...I wasn't exactly overjoyed. I wondered how the hell the everyday, non-celebrity public were going to pull them off, and why the Dutch were a sudden fashion inspiration. But I have to say, upon purchasing my first pair of clogs since I was 13, hats off to Carl, he's done it again. They make me happy. I don't know is it because my footsteps are now ridiculously noisy, musical infact, or that I feel a little Alexa in them, but they just feel so gaddamn good!! I went for a chocolate coloured pair from Topshop, very similar to the original Chanel ones launched this year (See Alexa Chung, British Vogue, March '10), and thusfar they've proved very versatile, great under skinnies, skirts, day dresses, the works. They may even soon replace my leopard print pumps that get worn with absolutely everything, I find the holes in the soles quite endearing myself. So Kudos to you Karl, yet again, you have done Coco proud.
