Obsess Or Own? New Summer Bag

So, it's May.  I'm still waiting for the consistently warm weather to finally hit NY.  Don't get me wrong- I don't mind it being the mid 70s, but I want to break out my spaghetti straps and mini skirts!  It's practically JUNE.  When, Mother Nature?  When!?

Anyway, when that weather finally does get here, I want to have a cute crossbody bag that will be my summer buddy.  I have found one that I think is adorable!

What's the problem, you ask?  Well, my question to you all is, is this bag worth almost $600??

Should I do it!??

Oh yeah, and it's by Marc Jacobs.

I'm sorry. I abandoned you and that was wrong of me.

I've been irresponsible and moody.

I've been an unfit blog writter!

But I'm back and I'm sorry.  I hope you'll forgive me.

For the last few weeks I've been devoid of inspiration.  I just haven't really seen anything worth writing about.  So rather than waste your time and write about things I don't really Ogle, Obsess, or Own, I just didn't write.  But I should have told you!  Now, you know.

The good news is, I have been bitten by my writing bug again and I'll have some new posties up before you know it.  Thanks for sticking with me.

Own: Zara's Perfect Summer Heel

I'll be the first to admit that I have way too many pairs of shoes, but when the warm weather hit, it was like something in my brained zapped on and I had to go out and look at shoes again.

Lots and lots and lots of shoes.  In an ocean of options, I did manage to find one shoe that I just had to have.  They were perfect and I knew it and I couldn't let them get away!

After visiting three different Zara stores to find this shoe to try on (if you know me, then you know this is HUGE.  I HATE going into Zara.  In NY, all Zaras are madhouses), I bought them and I couldn't be happier.  I present to you, my perfect summer heel:

Zara Strappy Heels

They fit like a glove and they're actually quite comfortable.  For a heel that's going to get me through the summer, $90 is not bad at all.  Check them out for yourself!

Birthday Week Aftermath.

So, I bet you're all wondering, after all that Ogling and Obsessing last week, what I actually got for my birthday.  Unfortunately, nothing from any of my Birthday Week posts...I guess there's always next year.

BUT!  I got some wonderful accessories from my Party Cat friend (Hello Kitty earrings!) and a very cute and festive off-the-shoulder top from another good friend.  Pics to come!

I was taken to one of the best sushi dinners I've ever had and I got to see all my friends.  I'm thankful every day for the people that I have in my life and I can't believe that they are all so good to me.

And just like that, Birthday Week was over.

Birthday Week: Day 4 Ogle, The Perfect Leather Jacket

Sometimes I think trends are going to go away and sometimes I'm totally wrong.

I was wrong about leather jackets.  I thought they'd be a two-season and done kind of thing, but they weren't.  They've been here for a few years now and every year that leather jacket weather comes around (you know, it's in the 50s outside and it's just a little cloudy), I wish I had the perfect one!

I've resisted buying one now for a couple years because I have a really rad one that my mom passed down to me- the epitome of the motorcycle jacket from the 80s (shoulder pads and all), I think it's time to get real and get one that feels a little more like me, though I totally give my mom props for being so damn cool back in the day.

Here are the ones that I really love:

love the asymmetrical zip and the simplicity of this one by Surface to Air

Variation of the Surface to Air one, but with a little more neck by Veda

BUT THIS ONE.  THIS ONE IS PERFECT.  Of course, it's the most Ogle-able and by Rick Owens.

It's almost summer and I can't wait for summer to get here, yet I'm writing about something I want for the fall?  The brain works in mysterious ways.  Go figure.
