Outfit deets:
* Alexander Bartlett top (from Winners & old) which you've see with a cognac leather jacket & flared jeans.
* Smart Set chinos (new!) and come in a slew of different colours I might need to snatch up a few more (but be forewarned they do stretch out).
* Christian Louboutin Passmule wedge (old) which I don't wear a ton--they aren't very comfortable, to be honest--but break 'em out every now and again to get my money's worth (haha). Last seen with the same top (wtf?) and a lime yellow-green cardigan (okay, so clearly there is a pattern here).
* Accessories: Cleo pony hair belt, Gucci shades, Claire's necklace, Sirens ring & F21, gifted chain bracelet & my DIY Ropes Maine bracelet (I couldn't afford the real deal, so I made my own).
So good news and bad news.
The bad news is my computer is ladden with viruses, on the verge of completely dying and I could lose everything.
The good news is I'm getting a new one.
Not ideal circumstances, but when it takes you 26 minutes to boot your less-than-two-year-old laptop up, every click takes minutes and you can't edit your videos in under three hours, there's a problem. I've been putting up with the problem for a long time now and it's just getting to the point of anger, frustration and tears sometimes when I use it. So, the time is now.
Even better news? I'm going with a MacBook Pro and am so excited (c'mon you guys, it's a big purchase)! I'm a PC user so the switch to Mac is a little scary and daunting when I think about learning a new system, but everyone who's had one or has one loves it and I've toyed around on one before and got the hang of it in a matter of hours. Additionally, I'm an iPhone junkie so it only makes sense. I have to wait a few weeks for it to arrive, which sucks, but let the countdown begin.
Anyone out there with a Mac book and want to share some quick tips and tricks for a first time user?

* American Eagle cardigan (new!), I saw this sweater about a month ago while shopping with the BFF but passed on it. After giving it some though, I should have purchased it and made an impromptu decision to call them and see if, by chance, they still had it (it was already on sale a month ago) and they still had one in medium! I rushed to the store and picked it up in purple as well for $14 each. Score (plus another neon item to add to my collection).
* Winners top that I bought over a year ago and wear quite frequently.
* Jacob skirt (old) and seen in one of my first outfit photos with a big orange necklace from India and nude fishnets.
* Christian Louboutin wedges.
* Accessories: vintage necklace, Auslini bangle & Suzy ring.
I'm getting my hair done this Saturday.
Conversation with someone went something like this:
Someone: (looking at a picture of me) "Wow, you're not really blonde anymore!"
Me: (looking at my roots, cinging) "What? Yes I am, I just need to get my hair done... and having my car impounded and ticketed recently has left me with lack of funds."
Fast forward one day later & I have book an appointment for this weekend.
Okay then.
But in reality, it really is time to get these roots touched up. I always wait till I'm at the I-can't-stand-this-any-longer point, where even my fresh, clean hair looks greasy due to mousey roots and/or I look as if I'm coppin' a half-way-to-ombre look, when in reality, I'm not.
And I mean... it was February when I got it last done. If that's not getting your money's worth, I don't know what is.

Sorry for the lack of quality photos lately, my camera battery is dead and the charger is no where to be found. I figure, better something than nothing, right? Right? Say right...
{ Christian Louboutin 'Gazolina', $2295 }
I'm a huge fan of over-the-knee boots and couldn't contain myself last year and ended up with seven pairs! A little excesive? Not necessarily (when you don't spend a forture). The trend seems to be sticking too, and looks like this fall we will be seeing a lot more of this style.
Now of course can anything really compare to Loboutin's Gazolina boots? Or Louboutins in general? Probably not, however, if you're not on a Louboutin budget, you can surely appreciate this Furge version below. At $33.20, you can afford to be on trend without coming close to breaking the bank! (Bonus: they possess a pink sole - cute!)

I am absolutely enamoured with these Christian Louboutin 'Very Privé' slingbacks, in patent nude. I dream about these shoes and want them so badly. I was thinking of splurging and buying them for my wedding, but, as the costs of everything are rising, the dream of wearing these on my big day is getting further and further away. It doesn't help that they are uber hard to find to purchase (black is everywhere, but the nude is quite rare)... or maybe that does help.
What are you coveting right now?
Britney Spears in Elle Magazine.
Nicky Hilton at an event.
From the moment I laid eyes on these Louboutins, it was love at first sight. Although I think many women are enamoured by the amazing design that is Christian Louboutin, I'm especially feeling these.
