i love color and i’m not afraid to use it. if there was a color religion, i might join it. but for some people (andrea, i’m talking to you), color is a scary, evil thing of wonder, which is difficult, if not impossible to pull off. it’s a wonder i know, but fantastic, fluorescent, acid bright color is the thing right now, and black is just blah. so my prescription for you pigment-phobes is to suck it up and buy some outlandishly bright accessories to go w/ that black tank and grey jeans. seriously. be obnoxious, you’ve got a lot of making up to do.

I saw The Fountain again the other day and I was reminded about how amazing trees are! Trees are in nearly every creation story, every religion and every psychedelic experience. They represent a metaphor for life and eternity. And since my name is Eve, it seems appropriate that clothes with trees on them have always tempted me.

for some reason, i have never once done a handbag post on this site. it’s not that i’m not totally horny for a them, but i suppose the thought of digging out all my 6 month old sushi receipts and eyeshadow coated burt’s bees chapsticks to transfer them into a different handbag for the day is beyond comprehension. so i usually just wear the same one day after day. here are a few that i could make exceptions for.
coffee motorcycle bag
Lovely Grace over there at Accessory Bug emailed me a 10% discount code (MSJ10) for all y’alls. so this one will only run ya round abouts $45.89. yum!
large weekender motorcycle bag $45 with discount
i loooove me a buttery, tough motorcycle bag. another wicked staple that will still be on your shoulder in a few years, collecting up all kinds of makeup detritus and gas receipts…
teal spy bag $45 with the discount
droooool! literally drooling. i’m absolutely loving luscious teal and turquoise accessories, they kinda go w/ almost any color. it’s weird.
canvas and leather convertible bag $49.99
i love me some buckles. also has an adjustable-length handle
wash canvas ruched bag $34.99
i’ve had my eye on this sexy bag for a long time now and it’s on SALE and i want it to be my lover.
sweater knit tote $14.99
this only comes in ivory now, but i imagine it’s just as cute. i’m a sucker for things made out of sweaters.
gold colorblock woven bucket bag $18
i love the contrast of woven canvas texture and bright metallic PVC. i think i might need this bag.
gray crinkle hobo bag $4.74 also comes in cream and brown
and IT’S ONLY FIVE DOLLARS! FIVE DOLLARS!!!
black cresent hobo $4.99
lovely. so cute. really, how could you need to spend $40 grand on a freakin’ handbag. it’s just stupidly retarded. not to mention completely, self-righteously insane.
large crinkle hobo: $5.49
um, i wasn’t going to post this one at first because this ISN’T A PORN SITE. seriously though, yikes! am i crazy? or maybe i’m just a total perv. which is awesome.
although i got a gorgeous green Michael Kors one-piece for my birthday, i’m always on the lookout for loverly bikinis. preferably ones without gigantic florescent hibiscus flowers and/or camouflage. this is often more difficult than it sounds, especially since i have a mental block against paying more than $40 for a tiny piece of fabric that i’ll only wear a few times a year if i’m lucky…
ok, i promise i won’t complain about the weather again in this post, but complaining about the weather is a favorite canadian past-time so really i’d just be showing my patriotism. that’s pretty patriotic for an ex-patriot.
seriously though, it’s actually a really good time to look at swimwear (among many other things, but that’s another post) because there’s a wicked summer SALE (up to 70% off) at YesStyle! who knew they had such cute, cheap swimwear??
hello! this is so deliciously “Boogie Nights” and only $28.80! i wantee! although it’s probably all wrong for me since i be sportin’ some C cups and have boyhips. this style is much better for small chested girls with wider hips. there’s also a similar style in different colors for only $31.50.
this purdy lil’ 3 piece for only $37.80 includes a tiny wee sarong which is handy if you haven’t had a wax in over a fortnight. but mostly i just love the description on this: “The two layers of frilly bkinni brief expose your appeal when you twist your body.” most of my “appeal” is in my crotchal area.
usually i hate fussy things like “beads” on a bikini, but the Missoni style print on this $37 bikini is pretty irresistible. again, the caption just says it all: “The beading on the center front and the end of the nect tie with the zic zac print enhance your hippymode on the beach.” Hippymode! is now a permanent part of my vocabulary.
yikes, the YesStyle models are a little to, eh, vapidly gorgeous for my taste. it’s kinda like, why do i even bother? they should really go for only mildly hot models. anyway, this is so sweet for only $25!. i love the style of the top (is it bandeau or string? i’ve got my top scientists on it but we may never know for sure) and is that a purple link on the bottoms? adorable.
this is so cute and only $40.50! if i had this i could go to the beach on my worst water weight day after a night of binge-drinking nothing but Guinness! i’m not totally convinced about the print, but i love this style. this would also be so great for maternity swimwear, but who am i kidding, i’m preggers with a beer baby every day.
