Wishful Thinking Inspired by Polyvore

May 18, 2010 by WendyB

While checking out the latest entries in my Polyvore contest, I started wishing I could do a little shopping. Polyvore’s goals achieved! Unfortunately, the suede and tulle Fendi shoe that was at the top of my list is sold out.

There’s another tulle style on Bluefly but it’s not doing it for me.

This ruffled Valentino top is still available in a couple of sizes. It’s so pretty, I can almost forgive it for being described as “nude.”

A color-block maxi dress also caught my eye but I’m sure it’s a knockoff of another designer’s popular piece. But whose? I keep thinking Phillip Lim but can’t find the original. Let me know if you recognize it. Meanwhile, if you’re going to enter my Polyvore contest to win a pair of silver Cleopatra earrings, don’t forget to use either the gold or silver Cleopatras in your set in order to be eligible.

    That Valentino top is gorgeous! The Fendi shoes on Bluefly (which are not as nice as your first choice IMHO) are also available at needless markup for $200+ more. Just makes me wonder, that’s all.

    Valentino top is fab and guess what I’ve not even tried the Polyvore thing. I was so rubbish last time I knew I was doomed! Glad it is leading you astray.

    I think you might recognise that dress because it has the same colour scheme as the one Samantha wears in the desert in SATC 2 which a couple of people, including me, have used the contest! xx

    Everybody is using “nude,” and they’ve got to stop that!

    I love all this filmy, transparent stuff. You have great taste!

    those shoes are the bomb. it is so hard to go to polyvore and not want to buy everything but it is also good to quell the shopping addiction sometimes.
