I can’t take up any new hobby because I inevitably want the designer accessories to complement my activity.

Louis Vuitton golf set?  Yes, please.  {Thanks to Ashlyn of My Unrehearsed Life for the golfing heads up.}

Thus my stance against new activities.  Because let’s face it, I don’t actually need Coach high top sneakers for my new hip-hop class.  Really, no one needs Coach high-top sneakers.

On a side note, this same logic applies to my future planning.  My couture obsession acts as excellent birth control, because until we can afford designer diaper bags, celebrity bugaboos, and a college fund, babies are a no-go for the newlyweds.

Am I the only nutcase with an obsession for all things designer?  Especially the positively unnecessary things?

Summer has me dreaming in bright colors (this is big, as I generally stick to blacks, whites, and greys.)  Today I’m on to yellow, and think it’s high time I invested in a few yellow throw pillows.

… and my Post title’s are getting cheesier.  Taupe is inching it’s way foreward as the front-runner for the upcoming season’s coveted neutral.  Gorgeous on suedes, taupe is certain to take center stage in Fall collections.

With it’s flattering form-fit shape and mesh, cut-out, and lace details, today’s bodysuits are a seemingly improved predecessor to the bodysuit of the 80s.

Every store seems to carry the spandex shirt/swim combo nowadays.  ASOS also has a huge selection of bodysuits in every shape, size, and color.

Pros:  Throwback is always in.

Cons:  Difficulty getting in and out of – a.k.a., may need assistance peeing.  (Not for the weak-bladdered.)
