Vans

I received my first pair of Vans in third grade. The store my mother took me to didn't have the exact pair I wanted so she bought my first pair of shoes intended for boys. Thank you, Mom. Despite what the label says, you can buy/wear/own whatever you want. Also, thank goodness for our stint in Southern California which exposed me to this most beloved of companies and cultures.*

Across the Pond

Something went amiss during my sisters' upbringing and they never quite developed the taste for a good Nova Check. Luckily, I had a very good friend to steer me in the right direction (much to mother's dismay). Fortunately for all of us, Burberry does so much more than an amazing tartan.

Coach: The Leather I Could Smell Forever***

I'm A Bad Girl

Since the mission of this blog is supposed to keep me from buying the 'I wants,' I feel as though it would be dishonest not to tell when I cheat. But I promise to cheat only with amazing justification.

Summer Sandals: Discounted Online Edition

A few nights ago, I was having a real hard time sticking to my commitment. I was on the phone with my boyfriend begging him to stop me from checking out on ninewest.com with a pair of sweet sandals that were only $20 with all of my combined discounts (here)! Fortunately, we got through it and I thought, DUH - this is exactly the situation for which I made Three Things for Three Sisters!
