flannel and fur.

flannel and fur for an early morning breakfast a few weeks ago.

i love flannels, period. but throw on some studs or [faux] leather trims, and i won't be able to resist.

 

and a couple announcements...

it's snowing.

just kidding. it's only rain.
i used to be obsessed with victoria's secret's pink line. can't tell you how many pairs of sweatpants and hoodies i own. i loved getting the catalogs in the mail, browsing them, wanting everything i saw. then they opened a store here, and it kind of lost its appeal. you know, wanting what you can't have. or maybe my lifestyle changed...i acquired responsibilities and realized i couldn't live in track suits, haha.
in any case, i still love the stuff and pop into the store every once in a while. but instead of buying lounge wear, i opt for sporty pieces that can double up as casual weekend wear or workout clothes...like this super thin and comfy tee.

on another note, i finally watched my very first episode of gossip girl. i'm not sure why it never appealed to me before, but it's been popping up on my netflix queue recently. i got thru a few episodes last night and think it's something i could definitely get into.

is there anyone else out there who has not seen the show?!

while i love the instant gratification of shopping at the mall, sometimes the deals you find online are just too good to pass up. plus, i find myself wanting to shop at times when most stores are closed, like late at night when i'm browsing the internet
in my pjs.

if you wear glasses and like the convenience of online shopping, check out coastal.com. they are the largest online retailer of eyeglasses and contact lenses in north america. there you will find the same designer brands and products as brick-and-mortar stores at half the prices. shop at any time of the day or night and have your glasses delivered right to your doorstep. what i like best about this particular retailer is that for every pair of glasses purchased, coastal.com will donate another pair to someone in need. it's always a great feeling when you shop for a good cause.

since i have seen many of you sporting cool and unique frames, i thought you might be interested in Derek Cardigan Eyeglasses...a vintage inspired line of eye wear that reflects Derek's bold yet subtle philosophy of fashion and life. his fun and stylish frames were even featured in flo rida's "i cry" music video and alicia keys' music video, "brand new me". get designer eyeglasses like these for amazing prices. here are a few of my favorites:

#7010     &     #7005 

#7004     &     #7003

i currently have the derek cardigan #7004 birch (above) in my cart. check out the rest of his line and tell me which pair you would love to have. hurry, though, with coastal.com's first pair free program, they are going fast.
