S/S '11... I can't wait; PT. II

Seriously, with all this open-toed, open shirts, neon colors, and happy looking stripes for Spring/Summer '11, it just makes me a little depressed that I'm stuck with a quater inch thick ice and 30 degrees. The groundhog saw his shadow so I'm going to be optimistic and follow what the furry thing saw. I mean, it's never wrong right? Animals have some sixth sense about this stuff, so let's stock up for an early Spring.

Just read on nitrolicious about Target collaborating with Dolce Vita once again for their Spring line of open toe wedges, in very neutral and metallic colors. I bought from their Fall/Winter line and I love those combat boots to death, and for $35, you really can't go wrong. Once again, the line is affordable and totally chic. I'm going to check this out in stores and try them on, but if anything, definitely the rope wedge in the nude color.

I'm being a little inconsiderate and just posting up this shoe because I'm in love with it. There's more sandal wedges - just check out here, and their F/W '10 line is on sale for dirt cheap here. I'm thinking about the strapped ankle boots, although I wouldn't mind the oxfords, but I'm scared they'd make my feet look long... I hope my shoe fetish will take me on the right direction of shoes this season since there's so many yummy things on the rise.

And wouldn't these shoes look good with Opening Ceremony's collaboration with Levi's Chambray line coming out close to next week? Love, love, LOVE the happy pastel palette and Terry Richardson's photography skill. Be on the look out for this collection!

I Can Live With This...

If you live in New York City, then you know that the streets have turned into everyone's own free ice skating rink with a quater thick ice. FYI, many of us don't own skates thus, tumbling to our asses. If not tumbling, then the ice melting so there'll be a problem with transportation. Nobody ever wins, not even the little ones this season. Thanks a lot Mother Nature.

Anyhow, onto better news, today marks the day of Chinese New Year's Eve which means, huge dinner, and for the next day, $$$. Which is exactly what I need since I'm po' and is also why my ass is in (no, not just of the dangerous weather conditions outside) looking like a bum (my fave!).

Speaking of internship... this is the view from my floor, which is my boss' apartment along with the office. Pretty sweet view of the Brooklyn/Manhattan skyline, huh?

And this the view at night:

So aside from some of the bonuses I get from working where I work, I picked this up today:

Remember from that post where I ordered the $20 dress off of PLNDR? Yeap, it finally came in despite the nasty weather; I even got 2 emails letting me know it might late. But I got it in today and was super excited (and I'm wearing it right now even though it's like, -10 degrees in this house) and I'm really loving the way it fits. I can't wait until it starts getting warmer in New York City, really.

Oh! And Karmaloop sent me this complimentary issue of Antenna, which is a men's magazine filled with a lot of useful info. Gonna give it to someone who needs it more than I do, clearly: my man.

Now, my wishlist. I'm a girl who's satisfied with a lot in my closet, but with FWNYC coming up, I need these things... BAD:

The Soar bag from JustFab.com, which is a really great stylish stuff with everything priced for $40 and free shipping. ...Did I mention $40 for everything and free shipping? Yeah. $40 and free shipping. On everything.

And the Blackberry Bold 9780 from T-Mobile, because well, it's time for my damn upgrade from the Blackberry CURVE (outdated, I know. Don't have to tell me twice) that freezes and resets and turns off by its own. I don't know what is worse than that. I can live with scratches and the lid dented, as long as everything works, technically and that's not what it's looking like right now.
