I Want That: MAXJENNY Cape



I want that: MAXJENNY cape from www.yoox.com. I realize, this cape isn't for everyone. I realize it is a bit bold. A bit edgy. A nod to the 70's but so now. I realize this cape is not for the faint of heart. Which is why... I LOVE IT! I am absolutely obsessed with it. How great would it look with, oh, i don't know, every outfit in your wardrobe? Jeans. Dresses. Birthday suit. Winning! Love, love, love. And it is on sale too! Must have.



P.S. I also love this little sequined number by Etro. (Have I mentioned how much I love Etro? And by love, I mean, I lust over it and hope someday I will score an invite to the sample sale. Hint. Hint.) It's on sale too. Bascially losing money if you don't get both...

I want that.

I Want That: Asos Kimono Sleeves



The other day, a friend of mine was lamenting how her mother always buys her clothing for gifts, and the pieces she picks are SOOO not her style. Another friend agreed. My mother, on the other hand, knows my style almost better than I know it myself. She always manages to remember something I have been pining over for years. Or she finds something so cool, I have never even heard of it. I can't remember the last time my mother bought me something and I went, "Oh...thanks mom. That is so... uh...nice." My mother would, no doubt, affirm my love for today's Daily Dose of I Want That. She knows my affinity for kimono sleeve tops and dresses. And even though I hadn't heard of it, she probably already knows about asos.com.



I discovered asos.com where I discover lots of great things: Facebook. And judging by the fact that Asos has almost 1,000,000 fans, I am not the first to discover this online fashion mecca. (I am a little slow sometimes.) But I sure am glad I stumbled upon this site. They carry a wide array of fashion forward pieces in all price points and appear to have great customer service policies. Where else can you get a coral romper for under $75?



One trend that never goes out of style (at least in my book) are kimono sleeves. I think it has a lot to do with the way they move. Every time I put on something with kimono sleeves, I feel dressed up. I feel elegant. And dainty. (Dainty isn't something I often feel.) You can imagine my lust when I did a little search for kimono sleeves on Asos and I found all of these great pieces.



I want.



This one even makes me want to be prego so I could wear maternity clothes. Okay. Not really. But it sure is cute.
