Alloy Has The CUTEST Bags. I'm Being Completely Serious Here

You guys. I am being completely honest and open, and I'm like, baring a very vulnerable part of my soul here when I tell you that Alloy has some REALLY cute bags (like this studded orange bag). Yes, THAT Alloy. The one for 12-year-olds. I'm practically old enough to HAVE MY OWN 12-YEAR-OLD (okay, not really, but also kind of really), but that didn't stop me from purchasing this nautical striped bag:

Nautica's Log Cabin Republican Look!

Poor Garrett Neff. The face of CK, seen usually in not much of much, was sent down the Nautica men's runway looking like a buffer Prince William dressed as an ice-fishing lumberjack superhero on his way to Bang Bang.


It-guy Simon Nessman (at Perry Ellis) and more hot dudes who don't look like even the hottest real-life guy I know, here:

Cuteness Roundup: Four Cute Things of the Day

Three of them cheap, one of them not.

1.) This adorable Fred Flare dress:
(Just $40!)
Again, sorry my more graciously endowed sisters: this one ain't for you. But it is cute, cheap and looks incredibly soft. Bonus: Fred Flare sends cute little extras with your order! (I swear I don't work for them. I just love cute little extras.)


2.) Another adorable Fred Flare dress, this one plaid:
($44)
At first I was skeptical, but check it out with pants. It's way less cutesy (and thus more tolerable):




3.) Seriously cute nautical hoodie:
($49.99, Chica Boom, ModCloth)
Again, slightly My Chemical Romance (am I sensing my own theme here?), but I'm all in favor of cute hoodies that don't look totally shlumpy and can therefore be worn with heels to work. (Well, with heels and PANTS to work).


4.) Swoon-worthy Faryl Robin cut-out pumps:
($159, Polkadotsandmoonbeams)
Love the shoes but not the price. They're not available until February 2007 or so, which is good because that gives me three months to justify spending nearly two Benjamins on shoes. Weee!
