Fashion Fever

Unfortunately I am one of those girls who has expensive tastes. It never fails that if I'm in a store I'm always...always...attracted to the most expensive stuff in the place. I don't go looking for high-end items. I just have eyes that are way way bigger than my bank account.

It's a very horrible disability.

Whenever the promise of a change in season is in the air, such as the beautiful unfiltered warm sunshine we are having today (despite the chill in the air) I get the urge to torture myself by perusing various designers' new collections.

This never ends with a happy smiling Manda. It typically ends with much depression and cries of "I want it I want it I want it." Then reality hits and I spy the price tags and well...I just have to drink a beer.

Today my choice of torture was Dolce & Gabbana's Spring 2011 collection. Big mistake. D&G has always been one of my favourite fashion houses and they just loaded up their new collection with lots of leopard print and clean cut, very very short dresses. Though I'm loathe to wear white (simply because it makes me feel like Caspar the freaking ghost) there were some truly beautiful white pieces in the collection.

I thought maybe if I switched to the Hermes site it would help but that really didn't. It just made me want to look at Versace's Spring/Summer collection and then I cried my way to Diane von Furstenberg and finally ended up drooling over Louboutin's Spring collection...oh god shoes.






 Here's some pictures of Louboutin shoes. They hurt my soul. I want them.



I seriously need to win the lottery or find a rich relative.

le sigh.
