primp vis-a-vis juicy
Realistically though, how many more animals/symbols can they make prints out of before they start reaching? The bunnies were absolutely adorable, as were the seagulls and anchors (see below). But they're already losing me with the horse heads (uh, a little weird) and lion-heart (I don't see it) and even the bows (C&C rip-off, perhaps?)
Juicy can keep coming up with different colours- it's much easier for them to innovate. They end up with 25 new shades every season. Plus, they have the t-shirt, purse and everything else thing going on.
I'm already foreseeing Primp dying down in popularity within the next few years. I'm already pretty sick of it. When I bought my first piece, I honestly thought it was an eyesore and then it grew on me. Now I just see it as an eyesore again.

all things epi
The only line that DOES do something for me is Epi. I love Epi.
I'm a big fan of understated. I think that the less "branded" a bag is, the classier it is. Epi only has the tiny LV sign. I like smooshy leather too (ie. Balenciaga) but the structure and crisp, clean lines of the Epi is good for the type bag I want: an Epi Passy GM
Can you imagine using that as your briefcase? For anything? Banker or fashion editor. Love it.

my new scarf fetish
Now I'm lusting an Hermes scarf.
Namely, a Concerto in the black/white colourway.
I would post a picture, but I can't find one online! It's making me very sad.
I think my denim fetish that turned into a purse fetish has now become a scarf fetish.

badgley mischka platinum label = love
And I've been obsessed with it for a really long time. I'm not really sure what I like about it, exactly. But I do know that it's a Bloomingdale's exclusive and finding a 0 has been impossible. Besides, where would I wear it?
I don't know what it is about it. I've always been a sucker for red plaid and sweetheart necklines. I always disliked a-line bottoms, but this one looks so good! It's even on sale right now to $490, and an additional 30% off. They have a 2, but with that kind of money, I don't want to risk ruining it after alterations.
I LOVE it though. Maybe I'll convince someone to buy me an early birthday present!

cut down to way over there: marciano
I still can't help but fall in love with this dress, though. It looks so "Kim Kardashian," but in a less trashy way.
