What I Want To Look Like Right Now: As Seen On Ebay

You don't have to look too hard to find cute vintage dresses on eBay - but finding one that is so perfectly styled is harder to find than the elusive YSL PUR black gloss that I've been trying to get my paws on.

There's something very Rachel Bilson about this ensemble: from the little cap, to the peacock belt, and socks & boots combo - I want it all right now.

Brother Can You Spare A Dime? My Search For A New Coin Purse

I know this is going to sound completely crazy but bear with me: my favorite coin purse just died. It was a little yellow vinyl number that I picked up at H&M for, like, under $3. I’ve had it forever – come to think of it, it’s the only item from H&M that I’ve loved and kept for so long – the bulk of their stuff just doesn’t work for me.

Anyhoo, it’s tattered and torn so I’ve resigned myself to looking for a new holder to carry all of my life's detritus. The funny thing is when it comes to purses – like most fashion obsessed dames – I have a weakness for La Labels: Marc, Chloe, Prada – it’s all good. But while many view their wallets as yet one more opportunity to get all logo-d out or status-y, I go in the opposite direction: give me quirky, cute, or weird – I love the juxtaposition of a designer bag with an unexpected little surprise tucked inside. Besides, I don’t really care so much to impress my local barista with LVs, I’d rather pocket the green.

Here are some fun options I hunted down. Anyone with me?

So far, this one’s the frontrunner – it’s so me. From the always fabulous Plasticland.

Words to live by. Snag it here.

I love the fun origami design and bright colors of this one – aren’t those polka dots the bee’s knees?!

I'm a sucker for anything with birds...this one's organic.

The cheery yellow, the smiling 3D bacon buddies…tell me you wouldn’t laugh every time you reached for this?

Wear Your Heart On Your Gold Saturn Tee

The recent hub bub created by our presidential candidates with regard to the idea of celebrity reminded me of the last election when folks like P. Diddy, Paris, and assorted others chose to rock trendy tees rather than actually rock the vote.

Hey, I'm all for celebrities trying to promote important issues but I'd rather they talk the talk AND walk the walk.

When I saw this darling tank by Gold Saturn, I couldn't help but feel that Paris would definitely approve.

I know I certainly do:



Just what the doctor ordered, a "prescription for peace":



Or...if you're not a card carrying lipstick liberal, consider:



Designer David John Acosta married his love of fashion with his passion for graphic design. The result? Totally unique, sure-to-get-people-talking tees.
