The Land of Dolce and Gabbana, Dishy Men and More Delicious Carbs Than I Should Ever Consume.
“We recommend bringing only 2 pairs of shoes.”
…Um, WHAT?!
Now that is just ridiculous. Sending anyone to ITALY, the fashion Mecca, with 2 pairs of shoes is just terrible guidance. Even for those granola types, they’d need at least 2 pairs of TIVAS one for tromping around, one for back up, and some cold weather shoes (because I don’t think socks and tivas will cut it, it will be winter after all). That’s 1,2, oh no 3.
Then there are the rest of us: Cute boots of different colors and lengths, heels, flats and sandals for spring. All essential. That doesn’t even include my metallic oxfords or shower flip flops. And I don’t even feel like I’m being terribly materialistic here. Part of me thought this was merely a ploy to force us to spend our money supporting the fashion industry in Italy. But it got worse…
“Remember not to buy too much. You will have to fit it in the same suitcases you arrived with.”
If I can’t communicate, I better at least look the part. It’s a good thing I am looking at these rules more as guidelines. Otherwise I’d be in serious trouble.

Coco
I don’t think anyone can ever grow tired of Chanel. Even thought the looks are consistent always recognizable, black and white, lots of tweed, great accessories, the shows are never dull. Take a look at the Spring 2011 collection. Per usual, I love.

Are You Ready For Some Football?
The first fashion error committed at football games is the “feminine” jersey. Jessica Simpson attempted to make this one cute when sporting her pink and white Romo jersey up in the box while supporting her bf. You either support your team with the proper jersey or you don’t. No need for pink and rhinestones. This is football, after all.

Random Happenings (In My Choos)
I am quite literally, obsessed. That’s all.
2.) After purchasing the grey draped BCBG dress I blogged about last August I have worn it twice and it has been borrowed a few times as well. All with the same result: Zero Pitt stains despite steamy rooms, dance parties and general shenanigans. Cheers to you BCBG.
3.) And finally. I just purchased a dress from Revolve Clothing that I am incredibly excited about. I love long sleeves for fall and nothing is better than a LBD, right?

Magazine Addiction
How can you resist this?
I know the answer is to subscribe, rather than paying $5 per magazine, per month. But I can never seem to get over the fact that I’m never in the same place and will miss out on 4 issues a year (or have to constantly battle with changing addresses, trust me when I tell you it’s not as easy as you might think).
If nothing else, my own foolish spending might guarantee that my dream jobs still exist in a few years… At least I’m doing my part?
