Fashion Ennui.

Sunday, October 26, 2008


At any given time, I have a wishlist in my trusty little notebook of things I'd like to buy sometime. There are fairly affordable things that get checked off pretty quickly (Kiehl's Crème de Corps lotion, for instance), things that have to wait a while (a new Macbook) and things that are pretty much unjustifiable pretty much for the foreseeable future (Chanel Jumbo XL bag). It's not so much that I need to remember that I want these things, but they serve as a motivator, like if I just buckle down and work a little bit harder, they could be mine.

And then, every once in awhile, the list gets pretty bare. It's not that I have everything I want (although my closet is pretty much busting open at the seams… so maybe I do), it's that nothing much is exciting me. I've been to all the stores, clicked around many a website, and I'm just not spotting those I-have-to-have-it items that usually get me all giddy inside.

Is it me? Is it fashion? Have I really reached the end of my wishlist? (Um… and does that mean I can justify the Chanel bag?)

I'd love to hear what's at the top of *your* wishlist at the moment. Christmas is coming, after all! I'd like to have something on my list for Santa.

Comment away!

{The one exception to this post is last season's Phillip Lim Tally tote, which I still totally want and which they've still got at full price at eluxury.com, even though it went on sale everywhere else months and months ago. Grrrr.}

I would like a rusty, vintage blue bootcut jeans from Ralph Lauren. And if we are talking specifics, here, then make it a waist 33, length 30 to crease nicely over my square tipped Kenneth Cole Reaction vintage nubuck loafers. I also would like a 1.8" wide Gucci horsebit ring buckle belt the same color as the loafers.

I have 3 things in the big item wishlist right now.

1. Burberry trench.
2. Channel wallet.
3. Custom made corset.

Although honestly I need to get some better bras first.

I always have that kind of wishlist and I have been able to check off some of the big ticket items over the last few years (Burberry trench, Tod's tote, DvF wrap dress, diamond studs). I actually had to stop and think what I would rate at the top of my list right now, and I'd probably say a really luxurious winter coat. Something cashmere, worthy of Carla Bruni (though sadly, probably not Dior). And Christian Louboutin pumps. But that's probably never happening. Also, Cartier Tank Solo watch and my latest addition, Tod's Revered Picolla bag. I must admit though that I don't feel as strongly about any of these as I did about the Burberry trench or the other stuff. So I guess I have a bit of fashion ennui myself.

This is going to seem pretty boring and basic, but colored tights and plaid tights. And purple shoes, oxfords/brogues, a leather skirt, and a leather jacket.

I would have to say the top of my wish list are:
1. Cartier Tank Francais in Stainless Steel...the mens one
2. Chanel Suit Coat
3. Burberry Trench
4. Christian Louboutin pumps
5. Cashmere Bathrobe

I too feel wish list items are great motivators...I treat myself to one or two nice treats a year, last year I bought myself a lovely Ferragamo continental wallet that I swoon over every time I take it out of my bag!

I keep a running wishlist on my iPod, and I'm already starting to star things in holiday anticipation, though I'm fully too old to hand a christmas list to someone.

Currently leading luxury wishes:
1) a swanky bathrobe (Trashy Diva's "Hepburn" robe is the frontrunner)
2) a bottle of Tom Ford's "Black Orchid"
3) a bottle of McQueen's "Kingdom"
4) Hunter wellies
5) fancy, super-high thread count sheets (which is kind of a waste, actually, as I plan to upgrade to a larger bed soonish. But probably not for a year or more, so in the meantime, must sleep in luxury!)
6) The perfect pair of low-heel (< 2.5") black leather d'orsay closed-toe pumps. I've been searching for these since 2005 when my Stuart Weitzman d'orsays snapped a heel, with no success. Someday!

I actually have a "buy_me" tag as one of my delicious bookmarks! There is always a long list of fashion & home dec items that I'm vying for.

Here's a short selection in no particular order:
1.Alexis Bittar Edie Hoop lucite earings - here
2. Lindsey Thornburg Mid-Length Cloak in black - here
3. A toffee brown pair of leather knee high flat boots (Waiting to find a pr. in size 11 that I love...)
4. The new Macbook Pro
5. These Prada frames (my lovely Chanel eye glasses need to be updated!)-here

But lately it's more accessories than a particular clothing piece that gets onto the wish list...

I know EXACTLY how you feel! When my wishlist dwindles, I wonder what the heck is going on. Am I depressed? Not looking hard enough? What is UP?

My wishlist is spiraling out of control just now, but at the top is a pair of yellow pumps. Why I don't have these already, I am unsure.

I want everyone to go out and vote on election day (hopefully for Obama) so that we can all go back to thinking about shoes and handbags and wish lists and aspirations instead of worrying about jobs and gas prices and the sad state our economy and nation are in right now. Be the change.

Lisa said...

I just sprang for a Chanel jumbo 2.55 bag; it's been at the top of my wishlist for the last 7 months or so and I justfied it by going on a 5-month shopping ban beforehand. I know what you mean about the ennui...I've looked at so many things which seem the same or seem like stuff I already have that nothing makes me really lust after it anymore. I'm pretty happy with the state of my wardrobe right now, but if I had to name what's on my wishlist I'd say 2 things only: a Soia & Kyo winter coat and a pair of flat-heeled leather boots I can tuck jeans into.

Ammu said...

A wool dress - have a few options - AKA, Maison Martin Margiela, Pringle 1815 - but am still mulling them over. Have been on a shopping ban for over 3 months now, which has totally cleared my head re: my wardrobe.

Unknown said...

Sal, I need yellow pumps too. Maybe we can split the cost and share? Alternating weekends?

Also on my list:
1. A knee-length, soft (Not that crispy...trenchcoat...material), waterproof gray trenchcoat. Not too hot, not too cold, keeps wind out, cinches at the waist. These, apparently, do not exist. I have looked!
2. A purple circle skirt. I don't know why.
3. A 1920s cloche felt hat for days like today.

Also, Nadarine, I **love** Trashy Diva and the Hepburn robe. I want to lounge around wearing it with heels, drinking espresso and writing letters. With dark red nail polish.

1 - Rolex Lady datejust oyster perpetual with diamonds around the face. I refuse to wear a watch until I can own this. Also a Chanel 2.55 in camel. I have a special savings fund where every day that I restrain myself from making frivilous purchases (ie that extra cup of coffee, or making my lunch instead of buying it) I put that money into a high return savings account. You'd be surprised how quickly it adds up!

WendyB said...

That bag looks huggable.

Anonymous said...

Emily - that's so smart to have a separate tag in del.icio.us. I just might have to copy you!

And yes that bag does look huggable. Reminds me of the Lanvin Kentucky I scored in soft suede. When I took it w/me on a trip this fall I (pls don't hate me for this) practically used it as a pillow/teddy, etc. on the plane ride.

I've been coveting a Givenchy Nightingale for over a year but now am not sure if that's what I'll buy if I had the money. I splurge on bags but always buy clothes at Marshall's, etc. so I could probably use a splurge at Barney's or something for some nice basics...

I am dreaming for Miu Miu bag, and 2.55 of course!

The picture of the bag just made my heart stop. It really caught my attention, I just really love bags.

I have a constant wishlist. Actually, it's kind of like a list of things that, over my life time, i intend/need to acquire. Most of the items are classic. i.e. A black Chanel 2.55 bag, a Burberry trench, an Hermes Birkin in Tan, black patent Manolo mary janes etc etc. This year I've ticked a few off my list like the beige and black chanel flats, an oversized YSL muse bag, and black Christian Louboutin peep toe pumps. I actually have an account that i put money into specifically for the purpose of purchasing these special items. And they are special. It's so fulfilling when you get one of the items. However, sometimes the funds get slightly screwed when you decide that it's absolutely necessary for you to get that fabulous pair of Louboutin shoe boots immediately!

P.S. I came across this new blog called A La Mode. It's hilarious, check it out!

I want the royce rolls clutch by marc jacobs! it's absurd to ask for that but it's so cute!

Hey, you should check out Luella's Spring/Summer 2009 collection. Just added some photos to my site. Nothing like some crazy colour to take away fashion fatigue!
Cheers
