Aritzia Presale Spring Summer 2011

I got the invite to go to the Aritzia presale, and of course I couldn't help but buy some stuff!

The silk top makes me think of modern leopards!

I got the cape! YAY!  It was the last one!

These Jbrand mid-rise jeans looked too good not to buy :(

Now I am super broke!!!  I'm actually half surprised that I didn't buy even more.

Aritizia S/S 2011

Oh my god... there are seriously endless things to buy and not enough money or time.  I love so many things from Aritizia's Spring/Summer 2011 collection, I don't know where to start.  My problem with Aritizia is that they tend to recycle their key items with slightly different colours every year.  Maybe I am hallucinating, but this year feels fresher to me than others.

Spring is here!

I need to think about my "needs" and "wants" though... buying all of this would put me into bankruptcy!

Walk In Closet

In my future house in an ideal world, I would have a huge customized walk-in closet, where I can easily find exactly what I'm looking for in one place.

I have a terrible tendency to forget items I've brought and subsequently stop wearing them/lose my clothes while they are in storage.

For example, it wasn't until I was looking through my  old photos that I remembered about my new Aritizia Wilfred dress that I was in love with, purchased over boxing day, wore once, and stowed away into the closet since then.  Oopsies.  Maybe I will pull it out for tomorrow's family dinner...

My heart beats just a little faster

I would go to the mall... if only I did not ban myself from Aritizia... too much tempation.  I always find good end of season stuff, especially during the "you snooze you lose 50-70% off".  Realistically, that's the only time to go to Aritizia and have things actually kind of "worth it", particularly the one on Bloor. Given I'm not downtown the next few days, I'll take it as a sign that it's not meant to be!
