Those items I missed out on, due to indecisiveness or budget restraints, which I will stalk until my dying day. My list of holy grails included these Yves Saint Laurent wedges from the Fall 2004, Tom Ford’s last collection.
Five and a half years after first seeing them I found a pair on ebay – never worn and still in their box with the original Maxfield label.
A few weeks after receiving my beautiful, beautiful shoes I was wandering around Barneys when a necklace caught my eye. Could they possibly be selling the Mended Veil snake necklace that I’d wanted since 2006, when I first saw it on kokopuff’s stylediary?
Apparently they were and it was on sale! But when I took it out of the box at home I felt disappointed. Did I really long for a clay snake which, as someone pointed out later, looks literally like a piece of crap?
Even if it has cute little periodot eyes?
I think it might be going back to Barneys.
love the ysls! i don’t know so much about the mended veil necklace, either, but i think if you’ve wanted it so long you should keep and wear it!
I really like the side view of the necklace. It is fate that you found those shoes!
that’s amazing you found those shoes after such a long wait! it gives me hope for items i’ve passed up and regretted- why is it those things are so unforgettable?
i can’t decide about the snake necklace either- i do see the similarity to poo. but i also like it. also, anything owned by kokopuff on MSD has always seemed approximately 1000x more valuable and stylish, so i would say keep!
Hey, I love the necklace and would love to buy it from you if you can let me know the price. Thanks, Alyson
Celia- It’s totally doody. Buy Frederic Malle’s ‘Carnal Flower’ instead!
