Ok, so here’s the usual blog-pology for not updating. Not that I am overrun w/readers (ha!) but this was to be something I would try to keep up on. There’s been LOTS of changes at the CovetRanch so bear with us here. We will be back!

Not that I NEED one, but a fun little bag in a fresh spring/summer color would be nice to have around. I have mused before on a getting a bright colored leather one, and even had a very nice pink leather bag (on sale for $50!) in my hand at Anthro, but it I just didn’t feel it and put it back. I also have written about ‘classics’ and you must admit L.L. Bean is one. I never really buy their stuff, but I was surprised to see they have a fun little custom program for their tried and true ‘Boat and Tote’ bag. You have a choice of size, body, handle, bottom and pocket color and you can add an outside pocket. You can even customize the handle length to create an over the shoulder bag! So you could customize one that would steer clear of the preppy overload, if that’s your thing. All in their heavy duty canvas that would last quite a while. The prices are amazingly affordable too. Now I am just overwhelmed by the choices…. :)

It seems I cannot let this shoes style go. Oxfords. These have a bit of the steampunk, and the color just got me.  Somehow the stitching and subtle brass studs temper the fab leather tasseled laces so they don’t look too fussy. And of course I can walk all day in them - that’s the point people…and it goes w/o saying they are currently on sale.

Ok, so I have alot of purses. A LOT. In fact, the dh said to me just last week when I picked one up in a shop just to look at it, ‘No more bags!’. Now when the man notices you have too many, that’s not a good sign. However, in my defense, I have acquired almost all of them thrifting, so it just kinda happened over time. I am pondering purging a few mediocres for one nice quality leather satchel style. These have caught my eye, and I think I want a ‘different’ color - like a rich olive green or better yet, mustard yellow ! We’ll see….

I wrote a bit ago about my love for these laceups…and now they are on sale! Hard NOT to justify them now. P.S. I saw them in person, and tried them on at a Naturalizer store - they seemed to run a bit small but the two tone suede and leather was a very smart look peeking out from under my wide leg jeans. xoxo ~ CovetGirl

Ok, I admit it. I come back to these rich socialite hippie looks time and again. This vintage Lurex rayon gauze top astounds me; its so ’70s ‘I-am-at-my-incredible-rock-star-encrusted-party-at-my-fabulous-house-on-the beach-in-Malibu-or-the-Greek-Isles-sitting-in-my-wide-leg-jeans-with-a-glass-of-Chardonnay-in-my-hand’ vibe to it. Personally, that sounds good sometimes… In the eBay store this week - EZPickinz Vintage.

70s Gauze Batwing Top | EZPickinz on eBay starts @ $19.99

Ok, so I am slow on the uptake on this one; and usually I am a Tarjay devotee to an embarrassing degree (what a great way to kill an hour and a half shopping like crazy and still not buy over $15 worth of cool stuff?), but I totally dropped the ball here. The Sigerson Morrison for Target shoe line essentially came and went right by me in 2 days.

Some of them are made from actual suede, so I was interested. Now, some of the designs are not my cup of tea, but of course the ones that are are, are all gone in my size. The release was Oct. 12th, I believe. How could the Tarjay Gods NOT know they needed to double or triple order this designers line for them?! Sigh, well its not like I really NEEDED another pair of black flats (even if they did have snazzy crystals on em), but the ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’ booties were kinda fun and I mighta tried them. All gone…except if you’re a size 5 1/2 or 11.
