Virtual shopping mayhem

I absolutely love that most nyc boutiques have little web-bed portals to the spending world. I have been occupying a lot of time lately in Brooklyn: finding some magical things to expand my collection. I need to move beyond the ever reliable Marc Jacobs and philip lim and source out some new wonder weavers.

Aside from that I am also going to buy the above Luella handbag: I have decided that I need to reinstate the black bigger bag into the collection since my colour choices this season are going to be slightly chaotic.

My fashion sensibility has lapsed momentarily this year: I have been budgeting ferociously and a few big wardrobe gaps have been spawned as a result. So: I am going to adhere to a more sensible spending regime without denouncing the basic precept of quality over quantity. I have a few relics from the el-cheapo me moments: chain store rubbish which is already disintegrating in the pits of my 'drobe. Unsurprisingly my mood has suffered.

Here's the deal- (placed in the ether for posterity?!) I don't want a fashion high: no quick fixes and supreme lows: just a sustainable balance that has been lacking in all facets of my life lately.

• edit: some of the nyc stores i was talkin about include: made by wendy (simple and elegant- i adore the monogram tote dress), cynthia rowley (bought a couple of pieces there last time i was in ny- not such a good range online but i love the kaeidoscope jacket), iheart (remember this from my last trip-no online store but good profiles of the designers stocked), intermix (remember these stores from my last trip too- good range of designers online), ...i'll finish the list when i have the time...
