SELLING:

Pink and silver Prada brocade shorts for $500. This literally is breaking my heart because I only wore these babies once before I outgrew them. They are a size 40, but I'm going to go ahead and say they fit more like a 2 or a small 4. They are amazing and beautiful and this breaks my heart. But I want to find them a good and happy home.

They were purchased at the Prada store in Soho a while back. But they are in excellent condition and have only been worn once.

Selling!!

Louis Vuitton Speedy 25 with a cross body strap.

The bag retails for $750 and the strap is $350. I am selling both for $400. It was purchased a few years ago at the Louis Vuitton boutique that used to inhabit the lower level of the Downtown Minneapolis Marshall Fields (now Macy's) and it is in great condition. There is a little wear on the outside of the bag, but that is normal and not all that noticeable and this bag has been an excellent friend of mine.

Contact me with any questions or inquiries.

new boots. frye boots. the short veronica zip boot to be more specific. i am of the belief that no black boot is the same. therefore, one can never have too many pairs of black boots. there is a black boot for every single occasion. and if there isn't a boot, there is a pump.

this sweater has literally been my saving grace this winter. i found it for 60% off at nordstrom rack and it has kept me warm through the below freezing temps this year. if you're into once upon a time, you'll recognize those boots as the ones emma has been wearing a lot in season 3b. werk.

I believe introductions are in order.

I'm Hope. I can't keep a blog for more than 5 months. Let's see how this goes.

I am working in retail, and I find myself irresponsibly spending money on clothing I cannot really afford. So let's talk about that, this is a safe space. I love fashion blogs, I love the blog culture, I love the way fashion bloggers have such awesome opportunities in the fashion world now. I just love a lot of things.

But here's the thing. I find that a large percentage of successful blogs depict this lifestyle in which all bloggers can afford Saint Laurent. I, sadly, cannot. So let's document my adventures as a broke bitch with a disgusting need for a Balenciaga leather jacket. The adventure begins now.

If someone wants to come to my house to take photos of me in my bathtub full of shoes, I would really appreciate it, I want to get off to a gr8 start.
