I'm a Wang-ker

My love of Alexander Wang continues unabated. Who can blame me?

The Long and Short of It

Here in my chilly new home, I met the cutest girl you ever did see and she had the cutest black cape-like coat to go with her cute everything. I came across something similar and had to share it:




Now, if I can convince her to model for me I'll take a picture of her cute little coat, but for now be content with this Twinkle by Wenlan version at Basic Boutique.

On the Go

The Junkie is packing up and moving to a whole new city in the coming weeks. I'd rather not fill up space with sub par, half-hearted finds, so bear with me while I get settled. I'll return to regular blogging when the dust settles.

In the meantime, amuse yourselves with the latest Maloles collection at La Garconne.

Birds of a Feather

Remember ID bracelets? My sister had one in high school and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Her bracelet's long gone, but this is what I imagine an updated version for 2007 ought to look like.

Ice Queen

I've always been a fan of cool tones, and no one is doing them more beautifully than Peter Jensen for spring.

My Favorite 4-letter Word

S A L E !

Sorry for the lack of posting lately. The pickings are slim, but at least they're on sale. I snagged me a little black dress:



Peter Jensen at Creatures of Comfort. I just helped my coworker buy what may well be the last one at CoC, but fret not - they have one left in small at Opening Ceremony. At least they did as of 12:04 PST today.

If You Must...

I'm not a huge fan of jumpers, but if you're going to wear one, wear it right.



Mociun gets it oh so right at Beklina.

Pretty Please

This cami is cute and sweet, perfect for holidays with family.



Development, at ShopBop.

It's in the Details

The black trim with white stitching adds visual interest, making this your not-so-basic sweater.



Nolita, at Kate Boutique. (Don't forget to use code "xmas06" for 25% off through 12/17/06.)

Skirting the Issue

You can never have too many chic pencil skirts.



Costume National at Luisa via Roma.

Cream of the Crop

This dress exudes a beautiful vintage feel.

Great Scott

I love a man who knows how to make a great knit.



Thank you, Tom Scott.

Down to a T

These t-strap pumps are perfect for both the office and a night on the town.



Miu Miu, at Saks.com.

Chains of Love

Not too sexy, not too cute. Just right.




Grey Ant at ShopBop.

Nude Neutrals

There's nothing bland or boring about this Spijkers en Spijkers dress. It's one of the few babydoll styles that manage to exude that Lolita appeal without making one look pregnant.



It doesn't hurt that this dress was paired with a beautiful Rebecca Lau necklace:


Might as well check out the matching earrings while we're at it:


Lookin' good at Eva NYC.

Have a Happy Tactile Thanksgiving

I've been captivated by lovely textiles for the home.

No Candy Striper Here

If I took tie fabric and made it into a top, I'd want it to look this good.



Vivienne Westwood, at Dolce Vita.

In da Hood

I prefer to stay in bed on dreary Monday mornings, but the next best thing would be to bundle up in a cozy sweater dress with kickass boots.

Swingin' It

The full bottom half of this coat softens what would otherwise be a drab tweed.



Wingenbach, at Style Server.

Black Magic

Classic with a twist, these earrings give more oomph to an outfit than your basic white diamond studs.
