Porn=Purchasing Frenzy. What?

Do you ever get in a mood where you just NEED to buy something??? Well I DO. I was sitting in my Gender Women Sexual Studies class today and we were debating about porn. Racial porn, gay porn, woman's porn you name it, Professor Jigna brought it up. and showed some slides with examples of said pornography. Well maybe I was uncomfortable and I let myself get distracted or perhaps my mind was triggered by the discussion, who knows! But i suddenly turned to my friend CJ and said. "CJ. Have you ever had the intense urge and need to purchase something???"
"Oh sure, all the time! What do you want to buy?"
"Lots of things, everything! CLOTHES."
"Well lets go shopping!"
"I don't have any money."
"Who says you need money? he he he"

evil. evil.

this past weekend I went to the mall with my sister and I didn't buy anything! Well I did, but it was with an old gift card, so it was basically free, and that doesn't count. Anyway, the point is, it was QUITE the struggle to see so many beautiful things and not be able to buy any of them...at the time, I told her (my sister) that it was a good exercise in self-control. But i was dying a little inside, lets be honest.
Urban Outfitters is the WORST for window shopping, everything is crazy ridiculous expensive anyway, so you cant afford it even if you DID have money, but myylanta I want to own everything in that damn store.

Thankfully, I have my blog where I can put into words and pictures all that I desire.....

My tentative wish-list (full of things that I cant really afford ever) is as follows::

1. A pair of GREEN Hunter rubber boots. They retail for about $112, but i found some on eBay for between $40 and $80....HOLLER

Here they are from my trip to MOA....I was creeping hard on these boots.




2. A pair of Platform pumps. preferably Black. These shouldn't be so hard to get, Target etc has plenty of them. The trick is to get a pair that looks polished and fashionable without looking like a stripper. Its a fine line that I am willing to walk...in a pair of these. This example is a touch close to stripper level....
These ones are from Forever 21 and are oh-so adorable and perfect for spring.
I also love the new cut-out styles, especially in fun colors! These are also from Forever21 and are only $13 bucks!!! My kinda deal....

3. A trench coat....Man oh man. Now that I go to school where walking outdoors throughout the day is crucial, so is the right outdoor gear. And a great spring trench coat would do my commute well.

This one is DKNY, I dont need a designer one really, but this one is practically perfect!

This one is GAP

4. A pair of denim shorts. These are both from American Eagle


5. A military themed blazer/jacket. AND a fatigue-type jacket.
This one is Forver21
This one is JCrew. I love the Safari-photo journalist look. AHHhhhhhh


6. A Longchamp Le Pliage Tote bag. My friend Sarah had one of these in highschool (in mint green, her parents brought it back for her from Paris...i tell ya!) and I would just like to credit her for having it long before any of these college girls! They are practical and classic and go with everything and just plain lovely!

7. A denim jacket. I like jackets a lot...if you couldn't tell. This one is also from American Eagle.

8. Black canvas Converse hi-tops. Every time I'm about to buy a pair I find some other thing I "need" more. I don't care if everyone and their grandma owns a pair of these, I want them, and have wanted them for fooorrreeevvverrrr.

9. Any top with "ethnic"/"tribal" detailing- studs, beads, any embellishment
this one is Urban Outfitters
10. DRESSES
all of these are from Urban....if you couldnt tell by their pissed off-looking models...

~ "flutter dress" - anything that has layers, or frills--anything that adds movement to a frock

~a cut-out back dress....so fabulous!!

~ a crazy patterned dress with a wild print.


Aaaaand I'll keep it at 10 for now! That's my wish list....if you know of a wealthy benefactor who would like to fund my wardrobe wishes, you let me know!!

Sorry for all this fashion talk. Wait, no. I'm not sorry. Its my blog I'll do what i want! What I meant was, sooner then later I'll have a post with something a little more substantial in it....maybe something to do with L.O.V.E ???? oooh la la.

Stay Tuned....
