Harrassing O-Harris

 

I've been on this weird shopping frenzy for the past couple of months now (you thought I was gonna say weeks-I did too- but NOPE, sadly, its officially been months).  I can't control it so I've decided to embrace it, the way I embrace everything in life, the good, the bad, and the ugly... Why you may ask? Well, because if there's nothing I can do about it (ie. to control it) I might as well welcome it and wait for this episode of shopaholic-ness to fade out (its bound to happen right?!).  I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed anyway because my poor bank account can't take it no more.  

On a random DC e-mail I got a while back, I came across this hand bag designer that sold the funkiest, 80's-esque bags by a brand called Olivia Harris (never heard of it before) and fell in lourve with it/her/the entire collection.  Their prices aren't too shabby either which I thought was an added bonus.  

Anywho,  I had to look everywhere to finally find one (the one I wanted was sold out at their site-I wrote in asking/pleading for one and was referred to Saks).  Since the 80's came back with avengeance a couple of months ago, I've wanted a round bag-remember them from the 80's?  Olivia Harris gave me THE perfect one: round, studded, with a chain strap too (my dream trend checklist).  

Check out the pic and I'll make sure I post one of myself wearing it on my little vacacay to Beirutingus (don't ask!).

P.S. At Saks, you can find the 'Studded Baby Ball Leather Hobo Bag' in a navy blue color (mine!) made exclusively for them! How cool is that?

Taking a Stroll

Have you ever had such a great happy day hanging out with your family?  Cheesy I know, but I honestly had one of those a couple of weeks ago.  My Aunt (remember the one who lives in Beirut click here for a quick flashback) was in town and we managed to go to this adorable coffee shop right by the sea (noooo sea shells by the sea shore I'm afraid... it kinda looked nasty because of the low tide).  It was part of one of our newly established museums that show cases my tiny country's beautiful and long history.  Anywho, so I'm attaching a picture of the outfit I wore that day with one of the oldest castles on the island in the background (click here for more info on Bahrain and it's history). 

Let me know what y'all think of my outfit!

P.S. I have a jacket (made from completely recycled material) from Urban Outfitters that I bought almost 5 years ago now (with none other than Super Mario and Luigi printed lining), a tee shirt from H&M ('borrowed' from my sister), my AG ex-boyfriend jeans shorts, grey tights from somewhere in london, and my blue ballet pumps from Blue Velvet.

Whitneying Great Style

Say Hello to my Little Babushkas

I've starting collecting Russian Dolls lately because I find them beyond pretty.  I love the details that each 'Babushka' has whether it's on her head scarf, dress, or both.  They're absolute gorgeousity (new word)!  So, when I saw these key covers at Forever21 I went absolutely berserk over them!  Aren't they adorable?!  And the cool thing is I can finally tell the difference between my keys (now I know which one opens the front gate and door).  They're by Fred called Matryosh Keys (they don't have a website but click on link to buy them online) and they make me absolutely happy just by looking at them! They're sooooo bloody cute!

Love love love my little baboushkas BIG TIME!

Go Onesie Yourself

Item # 10:

I've wanted a onesie for as long as I can remember... blame it on the four year old in me if you want but I just really really want/ed one.  The thing is with onesies at the tender age of 27 is you really don't wanna look 4 anymore... You kinda wanna pull off a 'Hey, don't I make a onesie look super sexy' kinda look.  I know its a tough sell but go with it for now PLEASE (its Christmas/New Years/National Day so keep an open mind). Soooooo when I came across this one being sold at Karmaloop (who also happens to sell a million other brands including my all time favorite Wildfox) I actually saw my sexy onesie sexy dream come true.  They're by Paul Frank, which makes them edgy and cool and less baby-ish (I'm not a big fan of the PF monkey but with this look it works-takes it from cutesy looking to creepy/sexy).  They have them available in both red and black so for those of you who really wanna put the SEXAAAY in onesies you've got options-how thoughtful of them right?

I think all I want for Christmas is a onesie... such a small request don'tchya think?  I'm officially adding it to my bday wish list (because I need to revive that list before I hit the 6 month mark).  Anywho, go on, onesie yourself out this holiday season!  You know you'd be sooooo comfy in one that it'll be hard for you to take it off!

Yoga Bear!

I did yoga for a while almost a year ago (emphasis on the word did) and seriously reaped the benefits that came from all the stretching, breathing, and relaxing.  I haven't been able to go back to it though because of my poor bank account (I seem to keep blaming my poor bank account for the most mediocre things I know that and accept it about myself) and lack of time (a much more reasonable excuse if you ask me).  

I've realized that the older I get the more problems I have with schedules and time commitments.  I just can't constrain myself in that way and with a busy social and work life (when you live on this tiny island you can't escape them) its tough to stick to a precise work out regime.  
Moving along, no more yoga pity party for moi, when I stumbled upon (hehehe...) this site (thanks to DC) it made me wanna go back to being organized... kinda.... sorta.  Yes, I'm a shallow fashion lover who hearts pretty things OH SO MUCH (enough to make me wanna jump start my yoganess at least).  This frickin' fab yoga mat bag is absolutely delicious don'tchya thank?  There's even side pockets for your water bottle!  I love it when a designer pays such emaculate attention to details because it never goes unnoticed (especially if you're as detail obsessed as me).  This yoga pilates bag by oGorgeous is absolutely to die for right ???  So go on and grab one (you could always fake it if you want it that bad, that's what I'd do).

Stunning Studders!

My 100th Entry (woop, woop):

My obsession lately with studs has officially gone into over drive.  I'm SOOOO totally and utterly going GAGA over them.  I just can't seem to stop myself.  I think I must have gotten hypnotized and I just can't snap out of it.  I saw these shoes while super stalking 'The Guardian' website.  Yes, I did say stalk.  Because I don't just browse the site, I literally open almost every single link, and watch every single video on that thing.  I just CAN NOT stop.  It's a cool site, TRUST ME.  The Brits most definitely know fashion.  Soooo, when I saw these on their 'Key fashion trends of the season' I had to print screen the hell outta that page to show you all how GORGEOUS those booties are.  Oh, yeah, I almost forgot I'm obsessing over ankle boots too.  No other shoe seems to attract me this season (correction: no other high-heeled shoe).  Aren't they adorable?!  They're from Office for only 95 pounds (around BD 57)-not too shabby eh?! 

Enjoyyy bootiful shoe shopping!

xoxo

P.S.  I can't seem to find them on their main site.  NO clue why. HUMBUG!
