Should I buy these gold Gucci dudes? (They’re the ones I thought you were wearing that morning when you were all like THEY’RE CÉLINE I BOUGHT THEM FOR A NICKEL ON THE REAL REAL BECAUSE I HAVE BABY FEET)

Also this is important: who wore it best?

A) Him?

or

B) Him?

Oh my word, those Gucci hamsters are on sale?

I want those Gucci slides tooooooo. But right now, these are the two garments I have in my shopping bag:

A) Loewe wool cargo pants

B) Marc Jacobs sparkly ass pants. I think I’m blinded by holiday season on these, and they’re still so expensive

I’m such a loser.

You should get a Swagway instead.

Those MJ PANTS!!! Please get them. They are so expensive but what is life if not a journey to be the copper Beetlejuice?

Isn’t this coat pretty if you’re into shit that looks like sheep? I REALLY NEED A NEW COAT (and though the cheap version of this will look like shit, I’m not getting one that expensive) but T or F: I am going to be sick of shearling in .5 seconds? Or will I not be?

And these Dolce & Gabbana sock heels are my dream shoes right now.

Also I know you’re on a 501s-are-dead kick but I love these. Thoughts or too risky to buy online?

I thought 501s were dead to me until yesterday when I found a pair that fit me like the kind of glove you only really hear about on condom commercials. So I say go for them.

Can I ask you a question though? Do you have a side hustle? How are you even entertaining the thought of a $3000 coat? Yeah, it’s beautiful, but it’s also rent AND half the world is on sale right now. If you need a coat, I’m kind of nuts about all the Shrimps shit — would you? This one from Topshop is also good (though granted will do nothing if and when your vagina gets cold).

Re: footwear, these Dolces are still pretty expensive, but definitely less so than the sock boots, which, spoiler alert, you can make yourself by putting your own socks in shoes. (You can do the same thing and win the holiday party game with these Moschinos — $315) And I like these too.

Meanwhile, I really want these earrings. Don’t ask me why, just say y/n.

No side hustle but a side car of side chicks. Speaking of side hustle are you $erious with those earrings? If you lose one that’s like losing a plane ticket to Chicago!

FINE and well-noted re: my coat selects. This JW Anderson one is beautiful and almost reasonable. Here’s my thing with coats online: I need an option to select, like: Mildly warm. Mediocre Warm. This One Will Keep You Super Fucking Warm. This One Is a Piece of Winter Shit. Etc.

(Oh my god those Moschinos! They are the porcupine pals to the hamster slides!)

Leandra I have a confession. I have checked the Nasty Gal holiday party section every single day this week.

I have visited this romper because I have delusions of grandeur/Beyoncé (but isn’t this just a cool body suit I could wear stuff over?)

This metallic sweater (but I hate the neck. I wish it were higher. Have you seen any better versions?)

This black dress… please still be my friend.

…

And this.

…But when you wear stuff like that tight black dress, who is that for? Why do you want it and how are you going to style it? Doesn’t this seem like so much more fun? At least then you can wear a jacket over it like you mean it and not like you’re cold and confused. And I think you should just get the damn feather jacket, this came up the last time we did this.

Actually, I take that back. You’re going to regret having an ostrich that has never seen the light of day strapped to your back once the holiday drunk wears off.

I don’t even know you.

In other news, are shrugs coming back? This cropped poplin shirt leads me to believe so.

Can’t a girl just want a hot black dress with a strange upward square thing that arises between her chesticles? I don’t like the neck on that velvet one, it will make me feel like a fembot.

I do know that I need to get these fluffy jackets out of my head. I will be sick of them the second the holidays are over.

This reminds me of the old you.

Everything I just went to show you that I also wanted because I’m on holiday crack (aka the J.Crew Collection section) is sold out so this problem may solve itself.

However, look at these Miu Miu shoes. Do you think they will give me fat calf?

Too bad neither of us are a size 11 shoe, eh? I’m gonna send these to Katie.

ON THE SUBJECT OF SHRUGS: I don’t get it. How do you wear that?

On Fri, Dec 11, 2015 at 9:51 AM, Leandra Medine wrote:

I would personally wear it with high waist red pants or white pants or a sequined mid-length straight skirt or something.

Those Miu Mius are awesome, I’ve had my eye on them all season, they are very you and I think you should get them. I also can’t get over these, but I think I’m blinded by the social media opportunities.

Non sequitur: I’ve graduated from the aforementioned Céline earrings to this single star. I will wear it with these pants. And this camisole. HASH TAG GOING OUT TOPS!!!

Also, seeing as Hanukkah recently passed us by and my birthday is in 6 days, may I ask what you plan to buy for me?

But do you wear a shirt under it?

I think you may be blinded by the glitter but A) that’s better than sand and B) now I am too. Go get ’em tiger.

If you give an idiot a bag of confetti, by the way, she’s going to want this skirt.

I saw it in the store and it’s actually so good. I just HATE the waist band so would always have to wear it with a sweater that covers it. Is that dumb to do? Buy something 80% okay that you know you’ll have to strategically remedy every time you wear it? For $40 I feel like it is okay.

That camisole is so pretty!i!i!i!i!i! What goes in the other ear, a stud? Or will that make your head drop like a confused golden retriever because it’s weighted on one side?

Back to the faux fur for a moment: thoughts on this one?

What did you get me?

That faux fur is the one!!! And it’s $300! Do it do it do it right now. Should I do it for you and call it a holiday gift? See, I’m always thinking of you and you’re never thinking of me.

I hate all of your birthday gifts not because the pieces aren’t excellent but because they’re from you. I’m buying that pajama set from Topshop.

Here is what I’m getting you.

Merry Christmas.
