I am still haunted by these tops.  Why oh why didn't I buy them when they were available?

also that anthro top from a little over a year ago that was yellow with cute little hearts all over it

i think about a purse i saw when i was 17 in new york that was made out of metal, rocks and jewels. it was 30$ and i had the money, but i felt guilty spending it. so sad i still think of it ten years later.

also, there was a chloe necklace from a few seasons ago that was a hammered metal chandelier necklace, it wasn't super expensive but it was gone before i decided i wanted to buy it.

I could've gotten this Marc Jacobs top last year for half off last June. It fit over my boobs sans gaping...for MJ that's a historic feat.



It would have been the most perfect thing ever. *sigh*

Two things - and they haunt me every single day!


1.  This Juicy Couture sweater.  I didn't want to spend the $250 on it, but now I know it would have been worth it.

2.  This Ella Moss top:


Ella Moss 'Chelsea' Stripe Hoody


I search Ebay every single day for both of these and I don't think I'll rest until I find them.

Oh man, I found this beautiful red coral necklace in the Bahamas.  It had little coral pieces that were irregular but smoothed down and at the center of the neck had a 1/2 in strip of irregular mother of pearl and silver beads at the side of the m.o.p.  It was $50 which was a great price but I had no money.  The necklace was gone the next morning .  I thought my dad bought it for me since I was going on and on about how beautiful it was and I thought I would get it for my birthday but I didn't.  He says he doesn't even remember it. 


I want my necklace!

A DVF wrap dress at Neiman's Last Call that was on clearance for 60 or 70 dollars.  It was just slightly too big and didn't fit into my wardrobe at the time.  I've gained a few lbs and need more professional (and gorgeous) attire, so I would kill to have that dress now.


Also, there was a Pade Vavra necklace on the Anthro site last year that had a branch of coral going horizontally with a little teeny bird sitting on it.  It was so gorgeous and about 100 bucks (which I had) but I was just being miserly (sp?) and wouldn't spend the money on myself.

A pair of teal blue Balenciaga maryjanes in Portugal for 80 Euros. They were absolute perfection but my brother convinced me to wait until we got to Spain and the shoes there would be 1000x better.


Never listen to your brother.

Pink trouser pants from American Eagle, I think about them a lot.  I should have snatched them up from ebay when I had the chance!  I cannot find the right shade of those pink pants anywhere, and have them fit just right.

I've had a thing for silver shoes since I was 11 years old, and it all started with this silver pair of Converse sneakers I saw on my first trip to New York City. My parents didn't have a lot of extra spending money at the time, so I didn't get them. And now 18 years later I still think about them!

a black and red alice in wonderland print wide scoopneck babydoll dress from one of the first Delia's catalogs ever.  I think it was free people or some random brand that changed its style drastically over the course of years- it was pretty goth looking.  I still wish i had it.


also, the miu miu suede flats with the pink stones and a pair of chartruese j crew driving mocs with bamboo on them.

I thought of another one.  These light blue MJ shoes.  I waited for them to go on sale and they never did:

A bracelet in Botswana, it was gold and silver but the it two chettah's intwined and I loved it. My DH convinced me I'd find something better along the way. Yeah not so much.


Also the Louboutin basic black pumps I wanted a guy at Neiman's was going to order them from another store but they'd only take Amex or cash and I refused to pay cash for shoes I wouldn't get for like 2 weeks. Stupid me.

Hey Scarlett -- have you seen the new silver leather Converse-like low-tops that are around now? They're from Target -- but, if you still like the style...


EDIT: D'oh! Didn't see someone else found them too.

I visited Manchester Craft and Design Centre in the UK three years ago and fell in love with a small tweed bag. I thought it was too expensive so I didn't buy it. And I still haven't been able to get that bag out of my mind.


I actually just looked up the designer on the web. This bag is very similar to the one I wanted.
