SPLURGE & SAVE

Some photos of the things I picked up this week. 
A splurge and pretty treats from a  much needed drugstore run. 
A few months ago I decided that I "needed" a Helmut Lang Jacket. 
Im typically apprehensive when it comes to splurging on lavish items that aren't considered classic pieces, but I have been totally lusting over it and when I was offered a slight discount, I decided to take the plunge. After months of not being able to find the size I thought I needed, I finally did but it still fit oddly, and I wasn't going to settle just because I loved the way it looked on the hanger. 
I fell in love with the distressed and wrinkled body and edgy leather arms but it was just not made for me. I was about to leave the store and forgo the discount when I saw This white with leather detailed option, which slightly more tailored and fit like a glove..... and $100 less! 
Overall I would say that they are lovely, well made jackets, made in the US, but a definite splurge. 
 I haven't been to the drugstore in what feels like ages. 
I stocked up on glosses I thought looked pretty and flirty lashes.

  7. Alex, this white jacket is made for you, it looks stunning on you. If if wouldn't be so expensive I would get my hands over it as well. Nice matching with the jeans shots and your casual zara boots.

    Wearing my favourite sheba necklace from your collection in my latest blog post, if you find the time, feel free to check it out.

    Much Love from Lake Constance

  11. I am obsessed with Helmut Lang jackets right now too! I think the one you bought will end up being a classic item in your wardrobe. A white blazer is always in style and the unique cut and drape sets it apart. Great investment piece!

  15. Are those loreal lip glosses on baby blossom and ravishing red?? If so, *twinsies and cheers to great tastes!

  16. I picked up a Loreal Le Gloss about a month and a half ago, and I must say, for a silly little drugstore lip gloss, it's surprisingly great! I've been wearing it non-stop ever since, and I find that it's not too sticky, has great color, and wears really well! I'm surprised there isn't more of a buzz about these glosses in the blogosphere/beauty community. I'm also very eager to try out the new Lip balm stain from Revlon, because I've heard lots of raves. Would like to hear your impressions!
    Love your style bitty!

  31. What an amazing buy! I have definitely fell into the traps of buying things that look good on the hanger...but don't necessarily look good on me. It takes a lot of self-control to pass of those items! But I'm glad that you found a jacket that not only fits better, but also for better deal! :)
