    I have myself a couple ZooYork tees

    Nothing really special though. I go for design over brand. Naturally though, the more expensive shirts are of a better design.

    Kate believe me when I say this

    I have shoes that look EXACTLY like those but I got them for like $30

    and people ask me if they are the Dior pair

    and I laugh and laugh and laugh
    I've never met anyone who would ask me if they were real diors except naporeon

    and he was there when I bought them so the thrill is gone

    but yeah... yeah I didn't get those for $30 :(
    this is what I get for having so many European friends I guess

    but yeah they are not Dior at all and I don't know why people think they are

    I seldom spend much money on shoes... bespoke dresses? jewelry? handbags? absolutely

    but not really on shoes... could be that they don't have my size much in this stupid tiny-footed country

    I recently got this though:

    bagblkcc.jpg

    and another black Chanel clutch that I can't seem to find a picture of online

    I wear designer jeans too. I have some that aren't and they don't fit me as well. My favorite brand is Paige Premium Denim. They are the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn.

    I have a thing for designer handbags and shoes. I love Vivienne Westwood jewelry. I have a lot of it.

    If I had money, I would buy that bag and just stare at it. I would never actually use it for fear of scratching it or losing a diamond.

    See that's one thing I don't get, what's the point of buying something if you aren't going to use it? I have friends that buy expensive things then don't use them because "They can't afford to break them." if you can't afford to break them then maybe you can't afford to buy them in the first place.

    I own a LOT of Ralph Lauren, but this is more because thats just what people wore where I grew up than any kind of brand loyalty. I have several purple label items which I guess are the most expensive things I own. I have a lot of diesel jeans and shoes. But mostly I wear flip flops, and most of the pairs I have are rainbow if thats a brand.

    Because it's pretty.

    Also, I know it's stupid and just nail polish but I only buy and wear chanel nail polish. Actually that's a lie. I do have 2 nail polishes that are OPI cause one was the perfect shade of red and the other was the perfect shade of purple.

    My favorite jeans are from FCUK. I think that is the only genuine article of designer clothing I own.

    Though this past weekend I just got a bunch of dresses made based on designs from various websites.

    FCUK has some really nicely made stuff, but I never really see anything that I feel like paying for. I saw a wool coat once, but those are expensive enough as it is, throw a brand on there and it's way too expensive.

    my taste is actually quite simple... if I have time when I get home I can show you the stuff I have

    ranges from Coach to Prada to Burberry to Chanel to Dior

    Oh yeah I also got a pair of those huge drapey sweater things from FCUK. On sale though, of course.

    Does ZARA count as designer? Because I have shit-ton of stuff from there.

    The leather jacket I currently have sitting on the back on my chair is Forrest which is an Australian brand and is goddam awesome.

    It's somewhere between a kick arse regular leather jacket and a totally sweet biker jacket.

    Unfortunately I think they just added the prices of two jackets in order to figure out what people would pay for it.

    It's pretty awesome though.

    Viv; I think it does. Apparently there's an outlet almost identical to mine in the Seattle area. It's owned by the same company. Who ever is up there should check it out. Everything is awesomely priced there. I just got a Coach wallet for my boyfriend for $69.

    Also, I got this to carry my little chihuahua around. It should be arriving tomorrow!
