azalea boutique comme des garcons x converse

OMG. finally, I caved and gave in to my obsession with these Play Comme des Garcons x Converse sneakers from Azalea Boutique. (for those of you who haven’t been keeping track, I’ve been posting about these shoes since 2009!) Honestly, I didn’t really have to cave much; I used my referral credits to Refinery29 Reserve to get the spend $100, get $200 deal for Azalea today and got the shoes + this necklace by Denise Heffernan (pretty, isn’t it?).

I am SO EXCITED!!! I’m not really sure I’ll wear them all that much, but who knows…I can see them with boyfriend jeans, long skirts, lounge pants…

Do you guys have Converse sneakers? what do you wear them with?

Also, if you’re a fan of CdG wallets like I am, this Refinery29 Reserve deal is a great opportunity to get one for $100 less (there are NEVER any coupon codes for CdG); Azalea has one of the best selections online.

Denim Skirt: This or That?

by grechen on February 1, 2012 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

denim skirts

Which one would you choose? I’m not linking to them because I don’t want price/designer to influence your decision ;) And if you DO know the designers of each skirt, pretend you don’t. (I’ll add the links tomorrow)

I’d choose THAT skirt because the THIS skirt is a bit too short for my taste. THAT skirt is too long, but at least with it I could hem it to my desired length. It’s also less pleated than THIS one, which I think is more flattering for me of the big hips.

So…which one do you like better? THIS skirt? or THAT skirt?

**edited to add links: THIS skirt is by Mulberry at Net-a-Porter ($435) and THAT skirt is Levi’s ($78). Does that change which skirt you’d choose?? For the price of the Levi’s skirt, I could have it altered, add a belt & change the buttons and still end up right around $125…

butter london nail polish review

Happy Tuesday! Who needs new nail polish? I decided after wearing Butter London’s “Bossy Boots” for a few days that while it’s pretty, it’s just not me, and I will probably NEVER use it again (see my review). And you know how much I hate to have things around that I don’t use, so I decided to give you guys a chance to win it! (this is NOT a brand new bottle – I used it one time for all ten fingers – so if that freaks you out, please don’t enter to win it)

To enter to win this bottle of Butter London nail polish, just leave a comment below with the brand(s)/color(s) of YOUR favorite nail polish OF ALL TIME. I’ll choose a winner using random.org (although if your favorite polish is Chanel’s “Vamp”, I might give you special preference. No, just kidding!) on Friday evening, February 3rd. I will ONLY ship to US addresses – sorry international readers.

I’ll start – while Chanel’s “Vamp” is one of my favorites, I think it’s been surpassed by PARTICULIÈRE the last couple of years. It’s the perfect brown/grey/neutral with just enough interest…

Your turn! What’s your favorite nail polish brand & color?

Thumbnail image for IRL: Butter London Spring 2012 Polish

I was not sure that I liked Butter London’s “Bossy Boots” when I first painted my nails (on Monday), but it’s growing on me. This is my first bottle of Butter London, and overall, I’m pretty impressed with the polish. I love that it’s 3-free, but these days, most nail polish brands are 3-free (even [...]
