Jimmy Choo bag in a beautiful bottle green color that I saw in Paris. I didn't want to spend that much money there (funds were runing low and I didn't want to starve the rest of my trip!), and never saw in the right color here.

a $300 BCBG white/silver/grey chiffon evening gown that fit like a dream and had the most intricate beadwork.  i fell in love w/ it in college but at the time i didn't have the $ or the occassion to wear such a gorgeous dress.  i still think about it all the time.

There was a pair of metallic gold / bronze BeBe shoes about 4 years ago - they were DYNAMITE & it's when neither metallic or wedges were in style - and they were both. I almost bought them about 5 times, but a girl I worked with already had them & I hated having the same shoes as her. I have stalked them on ebay & even called the girl that had them in her store to see if she knew who bought my size so I could by them consignment (she has a really detailed computer system) but still no luck. They are perfect for me now & I can't believe I don't have them just because I didn't want the same shoes as some girl that lives 500 miles from me now!!!!!!!

A few from my "graveyard of buried hopes"


I didn't have a place to where it at the time.  I should have bought it anyway



I too mourn this Anthro shirt

Shoes from London



I couldn't justify the cost

Two things that I can think of:

1. A simple gold sand dollar pendant. It was less than $5, but for some reason I didn't get it. There is a current Michael Stars ad where the model is wearing one just like it, and it makes me upset to look at it.

2. One day on Bluefly there was a Gucci bag for $400 that I liked, but by the time I decided I should get it, it was gone.

the BIG disapointment- a vintage longines watch on ebay which i didn't pay attention to b/c i thought the auction would go really high- as the nicer ones tend to do.....which someone won for $75!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH- it was a 10K gold tank, with blue dials and hand carving on the sides............i still hunt in vain

this DKNY coat which i need in size P- came up on ebay fairly often a couple years ago but i didn't want to spend to much- now i can't find it anywhere


the yellow top in this pic, and the matching skirt

It was vintage, and like an idiot I didn't bother to ask the seller who made it

This sounds ridiculous, but I'm actually still haunted by a Meat Loaf corset!

I saw it on Ebay and wanted it immediately (I don't know if I'd ever wear it in public, but it was too cheesy not to get!) but the bidding went to $30 and I thought that'd be too much to spend on such a novelty. I've spent hours looking online for it since, and haven't been able to find it.

haha yes the singer! As much time as I've spent scouring the internet for it, if I spent that time working and earning money, I could've had that corset and something very nice that I could actually wear in public!

something like that shouldn't follow me around. but it does...sigh

About 10 years ago I came across a necklace in an upscale antique shop. It had nine large polished half-dome amethysts set in white gold, and it was perfect. In it I looked like a princess. It was horribly expensive but I had the money at the time, exactly that sum. After long hesitation I decided to let it go... I changed my mind of course, but when I came back it was gone. It still haunts me.. I have never seen anything so beautiful and so perfectly me. I don't wear amethyst since that time.

Omg I bought that alice and wonderland delias dress ( I payed $10 for it)! It was black and red with an empire waist. I ended up tossing it after wearing it once cause it made me look really preganant :)  Damn that was in 8th grade like 1995 MEMORIES wholly crap LOL

Nicholas K Benton or "zipper" jacket. I waited to long to buy one off Letrainbleu.com, one just came up on ebay, and due to technical malfunction I wasn't able to increase my bid at the last minute like I wanted to, and lost. I may never have the chance ...again! If anyone has one they don't like anymore please sell it to me!
