This Demin And Leather-Ish Shirt Is Giving Me Body Issues

$50.99, Romwe.com

I usually don't entertain such cruel, self-destructive thoughts, but considering this denim/leather-esque (it's PVC, but it's convincing enough... and it's vegan!) button-down shirt/ tunic situation is the greatest thing to happen since they shrunk Siri Cruise and put her in the iPhone 4S -- and considering it only comes in a size small --  I'd consider having my body surgically altered to fit into it. So sue me.

Aritzia's Baye Black Tunic Dress: All I Want For The Fourth Night Of Chanukkah

$165, Aritzia

Before I get into my fourth-night-of-Chanukkah gift (for me!) pick, I need to say a word about Aritizia. Aritizia is a Canadian chain of moderately-priced boutiques, and the New York location opened this past June, and it's one of my favorite new "high street" shops. Half of the store feels like Madewell -- neat, conservative English major-inspired pleated skirts, flowy shirtwaist dresses, and demure blouses and in natural neutral hues -- and the other half is sportier basic tops, workout wear and hoodies. Like American Apparel minus the see-through. Oh, when I discovered Aritzia's TNA house brand longsleeve t-shirts (they're more like lightweight sweaters, and they feel like James Perse), it was like the culmination of a personal style vision quest: they're banded so they emphasize the waist, they're the perfect V-neck cut, and they're only $35. I bought five.

Seneca Rising's Junction Tunic Is En Vogue Loungey-Sexy

($167, Seneca Rising)

This Seneca Rising Junction tunic is just so dreamy and drapey and like loungey, lived-in, lazy-afternoon, slightly-crunk-off-rosé sexy. It feels the way En Vogue's "Giving Him Something He Can Feel" sounds, you know?

BREAKING: This Cat Shirt Rules

($44, Nümph, Modcloth.com)

Ha ha! JK! That's not breaking news, OF COURSE. But it worth expediently pointing out that the cat on this Nümph tunic is super bright, obviously, because he wears glasses. I feel like he spends a lot of time reading books printed by the Oxford Press, you know? Those REALLY big tomes with the tissue-thin paper, that's so impossible to highlight. Anyway, I'd believe anything this cat told me. Anything.

Also, check out more of Danish brand Numph's this-side-of-adorable apparel at ModCloth.


PS -- I'm feelin' on their dressy-but-comfy slouchy bow pants!

Future Buyer's Remorse: Peoples Market Silk Turling Tunic

($90, Peoples Market, Reverse-Reverse.com)

I'm PRETTY SURE I'd regret buying this silk Peoples Market tunic, and yet... even knowing that, I don't think that potential regret would stop me from doing it anyway. I mean, it's got little critters... I don't know... lassoing? Flagellating each other? AND I DON'T HAVE any stuff that has little critters doing that to each other!

Also, how great is Reverse? (Pretty great!)

Monday Musts

Okay. Here are just a few cute things to start off your Monday. And one awful thing to ruin it.



($203, Fornarina, Asos.com)
OMG. OMG. It's got little blowdryers on it!!! WANT! NEED!



($280, Mara Hoffman, Shoprapunzels.com)



($174, Elizabeth Gillett, Couturecandy.com)
This dress would sorta look okay with a really hot tan. Spray-on, of course.



($126, Cachou, LFSstores.com)
I'm sorta okay with the preppy plaid trend that's going on when it's kept light like this.



($268, Orion, LFSstores.com)



($246, Salvador Sapena, Asos.com)
Absolutely gorgeous.



($110, Jeffrey Campbell, LFSstores.com)
Ultimate yellow shoes! At long last, I've found you!



($120, Jeffrey Campbell, LFSstores.com)
Ohhh Jeffrey Campbell. With one hand you giveth, and with the other you taketh away. This is absolutely terrifying. I love this part of the description:

Pair these knockouts with some ankle stockings for maximum chicness, and try 'em with fishnet socks if you are really adventurous!

... Or if you want to look like a Port Authority meth slut! ( -- ed.)

Toodles, poodles!

Wish List: The Dress Addition

Okay. I have been hording (in the form of links) tons and tons of stuff I've been wanting to post. So, here they are, in Wish List form.

First up: dresses.

JUMPERS


($528, VPL, Refinery29.com)
So comfy looking. Only prob: it's aboutg $500 above my price range. Drat.



($135, Charlotte Ronson, Standardstyle.com)
Don't care if it looks like a bathing suit coverup. I still want.



($272, Humanoid, Oaknyc.com)
This looks like the type of outfit that's so absurdly comfortable that you start to do a weird white people dance the second it's on. It's called "Groovy Nights," which makes me wanna put my hair up in those old-school ribbon-streamer hair clips. And then do the white-peeps dance.



TUNICS
Okay. I guess these are "officially tunics" or whatever.


(Apprx $49 USD, DorothyPerkins.uk.co)



($179, Corey Lynn Calter, Janescloset.com)



($420, What Comes Around Goes Around, Shopbop.com)



($410, Vena Cava, Barneyscoop.com)



Green Dresses

($128, Bananarepublic.com)
I was "inspired" to find some grass-green dresses after happening upon this green jersey dress from Banana Repubs. Then I realized there's really not much "inspiring" at all about Banana Republic. So I put "inspiring" in quotes. Anyway, here are more dresses in green.



($156, Tufi Duek, Bluefly)
Probably a much wiser investment than the aforementioned. Love this.



($62, Soundgirl, Thenaturalrhythm.com)
This shop sounds like some kind of Rastafari rhythm method birth control. Eeek! But I love the dress, and you KNOW we love Soundgirl.

($34, Flux Nouveau, Amazon)
You know... there's nothing super amazing about this dress, but that's sorta okay.


Misc.

($297, Alice + Trixie, Livenatty.com)



($84, Drifter, Amazon)



($431, Indieshopper.com)
A whole new meaning to "babydoll dress." Ridiculous + love.



($176, Staci Woo, Daszign.com)



($232, Tricia Fix, FamousStyle.com)



($224, Vitamin A, Boutiquetoyou.com)
I really don't <3 Cami D, but I DO love love LOVE this giraffe cover-up. Is that a fair trade off??? K. Nighty nights!
