Check Mate

My last purchase of 2010 was completely unplanned: a $1,890 Carolina Herrera frock on Gilt this morning for only $119.

A sartorial item that retails for more than my rent, purchased at a price lower than my weekly grocery budget ... I can finally check that one off my 2010 wish list. Phew!

Now I just need a fabulous soiree for its debut.

  20. Booyah! Those are the best buys *ever,* when you really get that awesome piece for a rock bottom price. I have a few pieces like that which make me a little giddy when I wear them, haha.

  21. That is a beautiful dress! I think every time you wear it (to all those social events you have made decided to attend this year) you will not only feel stunning, but you'll know you are the best dressed in the house!

  22. If you ever had any doubts about not making the most of this past year--STOP. You achieved textile euphoria and that alone is an amazing accomplishment in itself. I raise my glass to you, my fearless fashion follower. May your year be filled with many more finds like this!
