Gold Mine Gutted

Why settle for plain suede Minnetonka moccasins when you can wear glamorous golden buttery leather mocs designed by our beloved Marc Jacobs?

















These pretty little things ($295 at Shopbop) remind me of a glammed up version of comfortable house slippers. They would be the perfect remedy for an evening in the dorm spent cramming for exams, working on homework, and sipping double-shot lattes.

Symptoms: stressed, anxious, exhausted, overworked, and generally sick of school.

Directions: Slip these golden babies on your feet and voila! Instant glitz, no matter how un-glam your schedule is.

Side effects: Sudden urge for e-retail therapy. Temptation splurge to splurge on other college-friendly necessities like stylish sweats, chic hoodies, and pretty cocktail rings (they make typing and writing so much more enjoyable because you can watch your gemstones shimmer while you work)

can you do a post on shops that are affordable but not cheap-y looking and feeling. aka charlotte russe, delias, old navy. Those types of shops are ok for the basics, but I'm getting really bored with them, but I'm a freshman in college and have very little money and completely ready for a wardrobe makeover. Please help! :)

Hey there!
Quick question: do you save old magazines? Even ones that really lack articles, and simply show what is 'in' for that particular season? (i.e. Lucky)

Thanks!
