SAT SHOPPING ♥ WINTER/SNOW BOOTS

So like I mentioned in previous post, I landed a really awesome gig that I don't know too much about yet until I get to the agency...and I'll find out what I can tell and post a teeny bit soon...but next month I'm headed to some cooollllld places and I realize all my coooolllld shoes are in storage. Good excuse to shop for new boots and other things. I have Sorels. I've had them for like my entire life because I worked at a specialty ski shop for 4 years. It was my first job. I think they're kids actually because they were even cheaper. But ya know what? I have never really worn them other than when I've been skiing or snowboarding. I have lived in snow. I lived in it as a kid for about 3 or 4 years and I lived in it when I was in New York. And when I was in Portland, we had some crazy snow, too. Everyone thinks of me as a beach bunny, which I am, but I do know the snow. I just need some cute/rubber-soled things that feel comfy and keep my socks dry and still feel cute. And if they get trashed it won't matter as long as they're cheap.

MOU GOATSKIN GOAT HAIR SNOW BOOTS FROM NET-A-PORTER $560 (I have a vintage pair that has a rubber wedge heel like these snowman shoes.)

I really do like these MARC BY MARC JACOBS SNOW BOOTIE...they're on sale, too. But alas...my size is long gone.

LOVE these MARC JACOBS RUBBER PLATFORM WEDGE BOOT...they're 70% off of $1000. Looks like they still have my size! Maybe these. Sorry about the line in the middle. They're two screenshots.

These are the FAUX FUR BOOTIES from FOREVER21...they have a rubber sole and they're cheap. less than $40. But I am not a brown person normally. But they're probably do the trick and I wouldn't cry if they got ruined.

I know these aren't snow boots. But I like these. I think these could be good. It's not like I'm going to be outside working in the snow. I love the green faux leather. These are the LEATHERETTE BOOTS FROM FOREVER21. They're also less than $40. And I think they'd look even better a little dinged up. 

I'll keep looking. I have a little less than two weeks. Happy New Year!!♡

THURSDAY SHOE ♥ STUDDED JELLIES F21

So I'm all excited I landed some more work for this awesome agency. I will disclose more when I know how much I can talk about or I've done more. But I need to travel, and I would like to pick up some things so I feel fresh and new when I start on the new gig. Plus, I could use some new boots. And other things. Whilst browsing all kinds of places via web...it's like window shopping ahead of time so I know what to look for when I get to the shops...I came across these very very Valentino sandals. They're studded jellies from Forever 21...they do come in black, but as soon as I saw them in nude, I thought they're a great dupe for the Valentino slippers they've been doing lately. So cute. Love these. I need winter clothes...but if I see them at Forever, I am definitely grabbing these. And they're like $20!♡

WED BAG ♥ VALENTINO MINI PANTHER

TUESDAY TAILOR ♥ PRE-FALL 2012 (?!)

I initially had planned on doing today's post on one of my favorite Christmas'ssss....when I got a couple of Lanvin pieces I had been dying for. But I have to get the dress out (it's amazing and vintage...it fits me perfectly. I love it.) and photograph it...so maybe I'll get it out by the week end. 

I thought it so odd that Pre-Fall collections were showing at the very same time people were running around buying their final gifts, going to parties and flying around the country. Did anyone even notice OR CARE that there were Pre-Fall lookbooks going up on Style.com? I tried to follow. But all I could really think was, "Why are we seeing things that will be in the stores like....in almost a year from now." We're in Fall/Winter 2011 right now. They're showing Pre-Fall FOR NEXT YEAR! I don't know if I'm making any sense...but the collections that'll show in the proper Fall/Winter 2012 (or will it be 2013??) are already going to be unveiled way early enough. Do we really and truly need to see the collections for PRE FALL? That's so far down the road. 

I really did like the girly/gamine/very Asian market collection from MOSCHINO CHEAP & CHIC. This is an underrated brand to me. Well, those who know love it but a lot of girls have no clue about this designer diffusion line. I'm showing the blush trompe l'oeil pieces I liked, but there was a lot to choose from.

MOSCHINO CHEAP & CHIC PRE-FALL 2012

I do love the things I saw in the petite 18-piece lookbook from ERIN FETHERSTON. The thing I like about Erin is that I know I'm her girl. Meaning, she does design for someone like me. She is a party girl. It's clear in her clothes. But she has this street/vintage cool girl thing about her. I haven't loved the past collections. But I do like the below pieces. And I love the styling. But I always love the styling. If you've never seen Erin, she's a pretty and stylee girl.

ERIN FETHERSTON PRE-FALL 2012

And although I'm sort of tired of seeing the same kind of lookbooks and runway shows that THEYSKENS' THEORY is doing, I do love the stuff Olivier Theyskens is making over there. It's pretty clear he's having fun and it's easy and he's probably loving the life right now because he's designing for a company...not getting backed like a designer does with all that pressure. I mean, maybe I'm missing something here, but even though the clothes are dark, they are very cute and I can see a lot of girls loving them. I obviously love all the black things...I can't show everything I like because there is too much. But I do love the other pieces, too. And I think it's funny that it looks like a lot of girls in a show, but it's one model, Elsa Sylvan, over and over. It's funny when you realize it. I mean, you have to remember this is THEORY...which was a line of clothes carried at nicer department stores. He really elevated the brand to a place they've always wanted to be.

THEYSKENS' THEORY PRE-FALL 2012

You have to remember that Theyskens was at NINA RICCI for a little bit. And this dress and the dress below make me think of his Nina Ricci collections. I love them. I'd grab these pieces so fast. I think they look high designer. Not designer department store!

love the glam rock

Okay...hope you are enjoying some time off. My industry shuts down for a week at least. I might start playing with the web stuff for the novel promotions...BUT I'M TOO TIRED AND LAZY. :) Have a good one. xx♡

FRIDAY FANCY ♥ LADUREE MACARON KEYCHAINS! ♥

SORRY SORRY SORRY....this is so late. But today was really scary because this morning we thought my dog had escaped and was long gone. :( Needless to say I was a WRECK! But thank goodness she's smart and I just had a hunch to go look at the front door and there she was...confused and tired. Very scary. So I had to get out and get into the hippy land town nearby and get some TLC. 

But here's another really amazing little bit you can maybe perhaps pick up after after after Xmas unless you're near one of the Ladurée shops in the world, then you can go pick it up tomorrow! It's a LADUREE KEYCHAIN with a tower of macarons and an Eiffel Tower....see the picks below...go to this link and go through the gift collection (genius) and then there is a little thing on the bottom that tells you what shops near you carry these things. xxx♡

WED BAG ♥ UNIQUE WOO-WOO GIFT IDEAS

This is not a fashion-related post at all. It's a shopping post for Xmas, but it won't have bags or shoes or anything of the like. I thought I'd make some suggestions for some more...unique type of gifts for people in your life who like different things but maybe don't normally have the time to go and pick them up for themselves. They are a bit woo-woo...but I love all that woo-woo stuff. And I always have since I was little. Not the scary stuff, obviously. But I like to get readings and do tarot cards and I love crystals. They aren't my life, but they are interesting and really quite popular. 

TAROT OF A MOON GARDEN CARDS AND BOOK. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE ONE WITH THE BOOK. SOME COME ONLY WITH THE CARDS. THESE ARE GORGEOUS MAGICAL FUN CARDS. I LOVE THESE. AVAILABLE HERE.

A CARD FROM THE DECK.

THE ABUNDANCE BOOK BY JOHN RANDOLPH PRICE. IT'S A TINY BOOK BUT A VERY BIG SELLER. VERY PRACTICAL ADVICE ON HOW TO BETTER YOUR FINANCIAL ABUNDANCE. A GREAT GIFT. AVAILABLE HERE.

A SELENITE WAND. SOMEONE GAVE ME ONE OF THESE AS A PRESENT WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH A ROUGH TIME. THEY DIDN'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT IT EXCEPT WE THOUGHT IT WAS AMAZING LOOKING BECAUSE IT SORT OF GLOWS. I DID SO MUCH RESEARCH AND THESE ARE POWERFUL TOOLS. NOT ONLY THAT, THEY'RE BASICALLY PETRIFIED OCEAN WATER...THEY ARE AMAZING. AVAILABLE HERE.

A DOWSING PENDULUM. TAKES TIME TO MASTER THIS. I HAVE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE JADE. THEY SAY YOU SHOULD START OUT WITH BEECHWOOD. SOME PEOPLE USE THEM TO SEE WHICH WAY THEIR CHAKRAS ARE SPINNING OR IF THEY ARE SPINNING AT ALL. OTHERS ASK QUESTIONS. THEY ARE VERY PRETTY PRESENTS. AVAILABLE HERE.

AMETHYST CRYSTAL CLUSTER. THESE KEEP THE ENERGY IN THE HOUSE UP AND CLEAR NEGATIVE ENERGY. THEY KEEP THE HOUSE CALM. AND THEY ARE PRETTY. AVAILABLE HERE.

A CITRINE RING. CITRINE BRINGS SO MANY GOOD THINGS TO THE WEARER. IF THAT'S A WORD! ESPECIALLY ABUNDANCE IN WEALTH. IT'S ALSO GORGEOUS IN A RING. AVAILABLE HERE.

You can also get other things like a rose quartz pendant which heals the heart. Most of these items are available on Amazon or Etsy. But it might be easier and quick to visit your local woo-woo/spiritual bookstore and see what they have. Or a gem shop. Happy shopping!♡

TUESDAY TAILOR ♥ CLAUDIA DEVLIN X BERSHKA LOOKBOOK ♥

Here are some shots I meant to feature last month...OH WELL. They're from Spanish brand Bershka's November Lookbook featuring model Claudia Devlin, whom I adore. She is so cute and there's something I love about those fairy girl models who look like they live in the woods. You can read more about Claudia here. If she gets a chance, she might do a guest blog on NANCY GIRL. But she's been really busy growing up and doing work things (yea!). Happy shopping! (OH PS...these were shot by Sergi Jasanada.)♡

MAKEUP MONDAY ♥ LIPPPPSSSSSSSSS

It's so amazing that these days, if it's super late and you're looking like a dag, that you can pop into your local Walgreen's or CVS (drugstores) and find some amazing product for pennies it seems. The other night, just before the next day's big meeting, I felt like I just needed another couple of lip colors...just in case. You know when you're just not feeling it and you need a few more selections. It took me no longer than like say...5 minutes....to discover some amazing lip bits that have incredible pigmentation and are totally comparable to any higher end department store brand (save the packaging).

I found two lip gloss sticks made by Jordana and I LOVE these. They're called EASYSHINE GLOSSY LIP COLOR and they are made in the USA (wooohoo! a super plus!). I picked up two colors: WATERMELON JUICE which is like a coral-y pinkish color that's sheer but still has color on my lips, which is really amazing because most tinted lip glosses don't show on my lips for some reason. The other color I bought is darker and called SUGAR PLUM...it reminds me a lot of Clinique's Black Honey stick which I wore forever when I was in my early 20s. These sticks feel great and look great and they are priced great at only $1.99!

JORDANA EASYSHINE LIP COLOR...FIRST FROM LEFT IS WATERMELON JUICE AND FIFTH FROM LEFT IS SUGAR PLUM. YUM! THESE OTHER COLORS WERE SOLD OUT!

The other discovery that I LOVE LOVE was a quick snatch...I grabbed it in a second, looked at it for a half second and fell in love. It's a Wet N' Wild color...from their SILK FINISH lipstick range that only cost 99 cents! And the color? It has the most amazing name...506B MINK BROWN! It reminds me of the dark browns of the 70s Calvin Klein Brooke Shields era...that rusty brown color. And that color is also featured in some of the new MAC product shots.

(not my shot...not my hand. but you can see the browny rust color of this awesome shade. LOVE. it's almost a brick red.)

I have some other things to post up here...but will wait and keep this to lippppppsssss. Have some work to do for a GIANT beauty company....! More soon. :)♡

SUNDAY MATINEE ♥ BUTTERFIELD 8 BIT

Just a tiny bit of a bigger post I'll be doing on Butterfield 8, in honor of the amazing auction that just happened where records were broken for sales of Elizabeth Taylor's jewels. This is the amazingly gorgeous opening scene...I have no idea why it's dubbed. But it doesn't take away from how hot the set and the girl are. I especially love the vanity table and mirror...and her little gold bag. Be sure to look for it. Sorry this is so short and so late. I had a huge and goooood meeting today. Fingers crossed. x ♡

SATURDAY SHOPPING ♥ MEN'S XMAS GIFT

ON THE FIFTH DAY OF XMAS MY TRUE LOVE GAVE TO ME...

I was trying to think what to write about today. And I thought something that might be good is to make a suggestion for a men's gift. Especially for the special man in your life or your dad or whatever. One of my favorite things I ever gave one of my boyfriends was a gorgeous Georg Jensen money clip. I learned about Georg Jensen when I was in college from a roommate that was fancy and Scandy. He was a big fan of the Jensen pieces, including cuff links (also a good idea...esp if they are vintage). Years later,  a girlfriend phoned me frantically saying she had no idea what to get her new boyfriend and I mentioned the money clip. She asked if I had time to run over to Tiffany's and check them out (because I lived near one). I did. And they had such a great selection that I picked a cool one up for her that cost something like 50 or 75 dollars...only! So here are some suggestions...because I think it's way way more chic for a man to carry his cash in a money clip in one pocket and keep his cards in a sleek/thin card holder in the other pocket. I don't think bulky wallets are sexy at all. :) The below clips are affordable...but you can spend a ton if you want. I think i bought one for a special boyfriend for $400 once. It's man jewelry after all. And PS...you can also hit up your local vintage shop or antique mall and find an old one, too.♡

5076 GEORG JENSEN MONEY CLIP ONLY $50 available on georgjensen.com

5068 GEORG JENSEN MONEY CLIP $45 available on georgjensen.com

HEART GEORG JENSEN MONEY CLIP $325 (This sort of looks like the one i bought for my ex a long time ago...it's like a secret heart because you can't tell it's a heart when it has money in it. available here. )

TIFFANY'S 1837 MONEY CLIP $225 available here.

RETURN TO TIFFANY MONEY CLIP $170 (I love this one. available here.)

ELSA PERETTI BEAN CLIP $195. (I didn't even know they had this. I think it's hilarious because girls get the bean pendants and I guess the boys get the bean clips. :) available here.)
