I've been feeling holographic for days now, if it's possible to feel holographic, that is. The cause of my lament? The Proenza Schouler PS11 mini holographic bag.
An iteration of last season's bolder silver holographic, this more muted version has beckoned me since I spotted it in Intermix last weekend. As I've already begun to bleed money for fall (see recent acquisitions: the J Brand Nicola Leather Moto Pant and the Isabel Marant Dicker bootie in cognac leather), I'm exercising some self-restraint. Helping the cause is essie's new For the Twill of It Nail Polish.
Part of a six lacquer seasonal collection, this gloriously undefinable holographic reads anywhere from charcoal to olive, with flashes of green and pink. While I've yet to dress my own fingers in it, it's hot on my list as soon as the weather cools down a bit.

In My Cart: Matches Edition
Girls of a Certain Age, the new-ish blog from former Lucky EIC Kim France, is admittedly one of my favorite sites on the World Wide Web at the moment. One of the funniest, yet most inspiring, recurring features is the "I Can Shop Anywhere Challenge," in which Kim finds items she'd actually wear in the most unexpected of places, i.e. the fashion wasteland that is the FINGERHUT catalog. Admittedly, I'm not so into self-sacrifice (better Kim than I), so for the first in a new "In My Cart,' series, I instead devoted my energies to the carefully edited designer assortment at Matches Fashion, home to men's and women's apparel, along with a bounty of gorge accessories.
If given an unlimited budget, here's my top five:
- Rag & Bone Hubert Tuxedo Jacket: "Dina Fierro died still on the hunt for the perfect tuxedo jacket." may well be included in my obituary. ($574)
- Current Elliott Stiletto Low Rise Skinny: If whimsy and rock and roll mated and had a baby, they would be these star-printed jeans. ($259)
- Alexander McQueen Swarovski crystal Union Jack Clutch:I can't go another season without a McQueen clutch; it would be simply uncivilized. ($1,673)
- Isabel Marant Dicker Suede Boots: I've got a knock off of these from Aldo, and they are, in short, tragic. I'm better than that. You're better than that. We're all better than that. ($420)
- Eddie Borgo Pave Cone Bracelet: Glitter, glam and edge from a CFDA darling. ($1002)
