Adrien: Missoni This.

I didn't buy a single thing from the Target Missoni collection. Not one thing, and I generally like Missoni! Something about the frenzy of it just turned me right off. I decided to wait and then when it sold out instantly decided maybe I just didn't need any of it that badly. I'm glad I waited, because I like this Missoni-inspired dress I found at Ross a lot better than any of the Target collection. Seriously, Ross, y'all:

My only complain is that the cute sleeves are hard to stuff into a cardigan:

Yup, always got to ruin shit up with a lumpy cardigan. (It is cold! I will freeze!)

PS. I've got a few bags up for sale in the shop...

True Friends.

A: (what happened when I gave Marianne a preview of my new bag)

M: Pretty!!! I love your boots, too.

A: Those are my Ross Fryes.

M: Wait, when did you get those? Do I know those?

A: Two years ago! I've worn them on the blog before.

M: Duh, I thought so, but wanted to be sure. Anyway, I like.

A: They were a Nina find, natch.

M: I think my brown Lisa's will be similar! yay.

A: Yay! TWINZ.

M: WE ARE THE SAME.

A: I WANT TO BE YOU SO BAD.

M: WELL DUH.

A: IS THAT CREEPY.

M: A LITTLE BUT THAT'S OKAY.

A: IS THIS YOUR PET BUNNY?

M: OKAY NOW IT'S WEIRD.

A: WHAT.

M: LEAVE THE BUNNY OUT OF IT.

A: I JUST WANT TO SEE IT FOR A SECOND.

M: WHY ARE WE ALL CAPS?

A: Stop yelling. God. Weirdo.

M: I never did like you.

A: mean.

M: Well, damn it. You never listen.

A: What? Did you say something?

M: Imma gonna git my belt.

A: YAW SHE MEAN.

Marianne: Unsure.

I've been wanting some wedge booties this fall, so when I found these Biviel booties on eBay for 1/3 the price, I impulse bought them. Biviel makes incredibly comfortable shoes, so I felt like it was a safe bet.

Problem is, I bought them a size larger than my other Biviel shoes, and they are a little too big. Not so big that I can't wear them, but it's noticeable. Also, I can't decide if I completely love them.

What do you think?

I can't for the life of me remember who made this necklace, though I know a reader has reminded me in the past. I love it so.

Inexpensive new bracelets via Etsy. Love!

Blame Gwyneth.

M: No one makes me want to spend money more than Gwyneth Paltrow.

A: Right? I opened GOOP and was all, "UGH I know how to put on makeu...oooohh."

A: I was just researching Clarisonic because of that bitch.




M: Between her and Mindy Kaling I have basically decided that I must have one.

A: Seriously. I want the little Mia one.

M: Me tooooo.

A: I might return the Ole Henriksen stuff (busted! my! skin!) and buy one.

M: Ugh, sorry about the Ole! Does the Bobbi stuff not work for you any more? My skin freaked out because it was dry (which makes me break out, no fair), but it seems that switching from the oil free tinted moisturizer to the mega thick tinted balm helped.




A: I stopped using it to use the Ole products and my skin flipped out. It was already unhappy because of the weather change. I'm back on the Skin & Bones oil and Bobbi stuff and my skin is much happier, but still really dry.

M: It's totally unfair. It took me until I was 34 to realize that my skin was actually dry.

A: How do you like the tinted balm?

M: I LOVE the balm. Like, love love it.

A: Hmm, maybe I'll try and get a sample.

A: WANNA BE YOU.

M: It's basically the fancy moisturizer, tinted. It feels great on and my skin drinks it up.

M: GOD, AGAIN WITH THIS.

M: Also, I'm going to go ahead and tell you that this is the best mascara everrrrr.

A: MAKE A LIST SO I CAN BUY YOU.

A: I MEAN YOUR PRODUCTS.

M: ARE YOU GOING TO WEAR MY SKIN AS A SUIT?

A: Can you please put this here lotion in that basket over there?

M: Should I rub it on my skin?

A: YES. DER.

M: God, but you are creepy.

A: YES. DER.

Adrien: Bag Twinz.

 Hi there. I am pretty sure I've worn this on the blog before, but that's a given. The important thing here is what I'm holding in my hand:

What, you can't see it?

 

Oh! That looks familiar.

I've wanted a mag bag for a while but was holding out for the dark purple color which finally popped up on eBay. Hooray! Now Marianne and I can TOTALLY BE THE SAME PERSON. 

dress: Banana Republic (similar)

cardigan: Old Navy

necklace: J Crew Boho Locket

boots: Frye Tina (similar)

bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs (similar)

Marianne: Hooray for boots!

These boots were a little Dead Man Shoe Store kismet. They where just $30, but a size 6.5, so I woefully passed them to my smaller-footed friend to try on. And lo, they were too big on her. And by some miracle, they fit me perfectly.

That's pretty much the whole post. Yay for boots.

The Girl With The Dragon Hoodie.

A: I think I'm the only one not horrified by this.

M: Who is horrified? Also, you know that wearing the clothes will not make Daniel Craig materialize in front of you, right?

A: It won't? I am still lamenting my lost chance at being a Lisbeth Salander-type in my youth.

M: I know, all of those opportunities to wear way too much black eyeliner, lost.

M: P.S. I totally had to google Ol' Bug Eyes name up there. I completely couldn't remember it.

A: HEY.

A: I am really quite impressed with Rooney Mara's transformation, I have to say.

A: Also, this photo is NSFW but oh my God, if H&M clothes is what makes this happen...

M: She really looks amazing. I kind of can't freaking wait to see this movie.

A: I hope she is getting paid a LOT of money because I'm not sure what my price would be to make a nipple piercing okay.

M: WHOA. Is that a real piercing? That is some method bullshit right there.

A: YES. They did all the piercings IN THE SAME DAY. I'll just be over here fainting because that's how I do.

M: That girl is hard core. I once got my upper ear pierced on the street in London. Hey, don't do this.

A: Yeah, not so much for me. But I cannot WAIT to see this movie. For so many reasons.

M: I just really like the story.

A: I READ THE BOOKS, MARIANNE.

M: Suuuuure you did.

A: I read them all! I DID. Before I even knew Daniel Craig was cast.

M: Just keep telling yourself that. It's okay.

A: UGH. I am going to go stand in line in front of H&M now.

M: Pick me up a hoodie, would you?

A: You want the one with the dragon on the back, or just plain?

M: One of each, I think. Versatile.

A: Pierced nipple or plain?

M: PLAIN PLEASE OMG

A: Fine, fine, just thought I'd ASK. Sheesh.
