Rock the Look: I Want It, I Need It
December 17, 2008 Posted in Style
[Normally I devote this blog to helping you take a super trendy item and make it your own. But not this week. It's holiday season, people, and it is all about the gift lists. So, instead of showing you how to add a headband to your not-so-preppy wardrobe seamlessly, I am going to show you what everyone should beg, plead and assault Santa for this holiday season.]
Most girls can claim a love for fashion, and I am one of those girls. But my love runs deep. I live and breathe the stuff. Fashion Week is the best week of my year (yes, better than Welcome Week!), the fashion magazines are my bibles and I spend my days finding new and interesting ways to incorporate runway fashions into my college wardrobe.
It is no wonder, then, that my holiday wish-list is filled with high fashion items seen only on runways…and 5th Avenue. While I probably (ok, definitely) won’t be seeing any of the following items under my Christmas Tree this year, I do want them. Really, really badly.
1. This purple Proenza Schuler dress.
It’s got all of this year’s trends going on: it’s purple, it’s got ruffles, it’s pretty…and it’s only $1,999 on E-Bay!
2. Burberry Prorsum Sequin Cardigan. $2,995.
I. love. sequins. It adds an element of drama to every ensemble, and this sweater does it with elegance. Too bad it costs more than my first car.
3. Valentino clutch.
Bows are huge this year and I love this huge bow. How cute would this look with a black shirt, skinny jeans and a pair of pumps? It’s unique and fabulous all at the same time.
4. Dior Jeweled Shopper handbag. $3,200.
I love how bright this bag is and the added detailing of the gold designs. If only I didn’t need to sell everything I own in order to carry it.
5. A pair of Christian Louboutin pumps.
Come on, who doesn’t want a pair of these super sexy, super exclusive red-bottomed shoes? I’d do just about anything to strut my stuff in a pair of these on Christmas morning.
You got a (ridiculous) wish list this year? What do you want?

I love fashion but I have to practicality.
I'm one of millions of shoemaniacs and when they were available I got red soled alternatives discounted from a $100 or so for about $25 a pair.
It's not that I don't like designer–it's the head of the fashion marketing spear–I just know I can't have it easily. But that's why women love high fashion; it has the intricacy that some garments just don't. I like things that have intricacy and were perhaps made by a unknown indie designer or company or so. Their works can be just as special too.
