STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

lynnie · Chanel

your shopping list for the next few months..

jj · Kate Spade

The only clothes on my list are pants. I hate buying them because it's rare that they fit right and they're usually a dull purchase. So, in January I need to assess my top situation and determine 2-3 types of pants to buy.

Other than that, my plans are to:

1. only buy accessories to make my current clothes more interesting, like

pasticcio scarf

2. Wear what I already own. I tend to grab the same things, even though I like everything in my closet. I have so many things I have only worn once.

Sandy · Kate Spade

For the next few months, I only plan on buying two things.

LV Speedy 30 (maybe a 25, depending on how small a 30 makes me look. I'm only 5'1 and kind of slender, so I'll make my decision when I get to the store.)

Speedy 30

These Chanel sunglasses in black (not from this site... it's the only picture I could find). I never really liked oversized frames before last summer, when I got white Coach Samanthas... now I'm addicted. I want a new pair of black sunglasses, and I've always wanted a pairof Chanel sunglasses. Since I'm trying to buy more investment pieces, I figure now is the time!

Chanel

Hopefully I can stick to my plan .

halleybird · Hermes

1. Black flats, since mine are about to conk out after 2+ years of regular wear. Maybe these...

2. Black maryjanes, for the same reason as above. I love these & wish I could find them in black:

3. Black wedges. I love the kenzie ones hotcocoa has, but I wish I could find some that would hide my toes.

4. Cute tees with interesting details, like this one:

shibui crew neck

5. A hot red bag

6. Very dark-rinse, non-distressed jeans. These are my finalists, but I need a sale.

-a couple cheapie vneck or scoopneck cardis and maybe a nice cardiwrap

-black leather bag (maybe Tano or Mitzi Baker)

-big belt like the Jocasi one sephorablue has

-some nice sunglasses, possibly the Coach ones with the daisy

-shorts that are cute not hoochie...so hard to find! I saw a bunch at F21 but they didn't have back pockets and they looked weird. I found a pair I liked but they didn't have my size. Probably a couple of Johnson looking ones and two pairs of denim that aren't soooo short.

-cute flats...probably one pair of nicer ballet flat type and a couple sandals and some Havainas.

-brown wedges like the Seychelles ones but not so $

-more jeans that actually fit good...probably AE or some thrift store Sevens that I think I will check out tommorrow at this cute resale store by my house

berryahou35 · Dooney & Bourke

Based on some of the mags that I've been looking at, there doesn't seem to be so much change. Of course, maybe I'll feel differently when I see these things in person. But SO FAR, it looks as if I'm set for the season, except maybe I'll add a few more gauchos and wedges.

luckylily · Gucci

I'm already thinking about spring/summer. I have plenty of clothes for any season, so I'm trying to focus on assessories and building my vintage collection over the next few months. I'm not sure what I want yet, but I'll know it when I see it.

There are only a few clothing items I've got my eye on right now. I'm crossing my fingers that they'll go on sale sooner or later.

I love the movie Slapshot, so I'm also wanting this thermal.

I'll also need a few pairs of shoes for spring/summer, I'm anxious to see what comes out.

Maddie · Coach

I'm basically planning on having a year of summer next year with study abroad, so that's pretty much all I want to buy. I plan on looking hot in Sri Lanka cause everyone else will be wearing ugly linen stuff they got at Old Navy (I'll admit I did this in India). If I'm spending 5 months somewhere I want to look nice. I have to wear pants, skirts that are at least mid calf, and shirts with sleeves. On my list...

Lightweight sweaters...

Tropical weather appropriate pants...

Shirts...

Long skirts...I haven't found any I like yet.

This bathing suit...

(I have what is essentially the brown two piece version of this and love it.)

Sandals...

(sorry, I love Birks)

TexasGal · Kenneth Cole

This is the year I go for "quality over quantity". So on my list are:

1. LV Speedy 30 in Damier Canvas

2. Invest in a nice black bag...no clue what kind yet.

3.

4.
Hoping to find this in black. Or something like this.

That's it so far.

Metric · Gucci

Lynnie I am totally in LOVE with the bag on the left! *adds to list*

stolen from Lynnie

new jeans, preferably dark wash but something that everybody and their dog won't be wearing

flat boots

new work clothes...unsure of specific peices at the moment

new runners...maybe Pumas but would prefer something not so super trendy (the Puma trend has exploded here)

ILoveChoo · Hermes

a perfect fitting white oxford
a pair of super dark jeans
a white bag (maybe a chanel classic if i can keep other spending to a minimum)
a black wrap dress
an ivory sweater of some sort
a fun colored blazer
an interview appropraite suit (saw a gorgeous black brown theory one that I adore, but would like to find it for cheaper or w/a code)

dot · Marc Jacobs

mine is just a basic black bag for work........ ugh it's harder than it sounds.

atlgirl · Gucci

Well...a lot of "basic" items for me, w/the exception of handbags.

· Black a-line skirt (unbelievably, I don't own one right now)

· Chunky cardigans (have one, but looking for more)

· Regular cardigans (fitted, cropped, vintage-y)

· More fitted sweaters in general

· More a-line skirts in general

Shoes:

· Silver shoes w/more leather (not strappy)

· Basic black pumps – really good ones

· Chocolate brown boots

· Slouchy brown boots

· Black pointy-toe boots

· Black + brown ankle boots

· Wedge boots

Bags:

· Teal big bag

· Larger black bag

· Chocolate brown bag

· Larger red bag

· Orange ?

and, if something comes along that really suits me, a few more dresses.

sfclinevandy · Coach

*COH Simone jeans. I just bought the Collette jeans, which are the new version of Kelly jeans and the Simone are the new version of Ingrids. I like them a lot better because they are stretchier (the fit is more "tight" and they don't bag out) and the inseams are 35"... perfect for me.

*Dark wide leg or trouser jeans

*A VS Very Sexy bikini... I love how the Very Sexy bras look on me so hopefully the inspired bathing suits are similar. I check everyday if the new swimwear line is posted on line.

*A really simple black fabric clutch. I have some cool brooches that would look great pinned on a purse.

*A frame bag. I love the ones Glenda Gies makes out of vintage fabrics. These are my favorites.

*More casual, day dresses

Chic · Marc Jacobs

Dresses- I want some great sundresses for showers and then some great jersey comfy dresses for the honeymoon.

Also a new pair of Gucci sunglasses and a classic tan bag. I would love a Chanel, but the wedding budget won't allow it.

fafa · Nine West

black Chanel ballet flats, new COH maternity jeans, baby bedding for the new baby and a toddler bed for the little lady

ViViDogWear · Kate Spade

A few items I have been wanting for awhile...

Grey Skinny drainpipe jeans 'a la Kate/Sienna, worn scrunched with flats/heels or tucked into boots (can only find a pic of V.B. for now) - Tsubi or Sass & Bide (pref a cheaper k.o.)

A bed frame would be nice.. i've been eyeing this platform bed for a while but $549 + $100 S&H seems a bit much for that piece...

*Lusting for* Christian Louboutin black patent heels as seen on MK&A. maybe a knock-off at a better $$?

and more Vintage Dresses, Jewelry, & Shoes!

in Chocolate color

all but the glasses & scarf

kahluamilk · Dooney & Bourke

Like Tri_Sarah_Tops I've also been wanting a LV purse so I'm cutting out random F21 clothes and saving up for either..

or Speedy 25. Haven't decided which one yet.

A pair of zebra pumps.

flknight24 · Dooney & Bourke

- COH Ingrid Jeans in Colorado wash

- LV Speedy 25 or 30 (haven't decided yet)

- these flips

- This C&C shirt

- Chanel sunglasses (I just bought a new black pair but I really want brown too).

NCshopper · Hermes

I am in dire need of some long sleeve shirts. Turtlenecks, v-necks, scoop necks, thermals....I need some. I seriously have like 4 long sleeve shirts right now.
