The 'Yo!' Files: Yo, blue shoes!

Marc by Marc Jacobs booties
I'm facing a rather huge dilemma.  Shopping ban ends Friday but why is it that whenever you cannot spend you see a million things that you must have?  I'm lusting after many, many pairs of shoes, but of course, I've got no munds (that's monetary funds). Damn the forces of the universe!

The 'Yo!' Files: Yo, wrap this!

Marc by Marc Jacobs Love Edge Leather Wrap Bracelet

And so my obsessions with rose gold and wrap bracelets continues... 

The leather wrap and the buckle element is so Hermès, minus the price tag. Luxe at a fraction of the price.  What's not to love?

The 'Yo!' Files: Yo, it's a garden party!


I'm loving this cropped tee from the Stolen Girlfriends Club S/S 11-12 collection.  How cute is the floral print?  The beautiful lush greens and the lovely flowers - don't you just wish it were spring right now?  Sigh.  
 
It's always nice to bring nature into the office, but it only downfall is that it reminds you of what you're missing out on. Oh, how I long for the return of summer picnics in Hyde Park.  Otherwise, this itsy bitsy number would be perfect casual Friday attire or what I like to call "Midriff Friday" attire.

The 'Yo!' Files: Yo, let's go frolick!

Part lacy princess Kate, part sassy little sis Pippa.  It's no wonder this jade floral embroidered number by one of the Duchess's favourite labels has sold out.

The 'Yo!' Files: Yo, I'm green with envy!

Friend of Mine Emerald Jacket
 Rainy days are bad.  I've spent all day discovering new online stores where I could do some serious damage, since as you know, I don't have much self-restraint when it comes to online shopping.

Friend of Mine's "The Crusader" collection is simply beautiful.  I'm loving the rich hues - the mustard, the plum and the ochre, but this particular item took my breath away.  And it's velvet so it's an instant winner.  It's modeled by the gorgeous Hannah Glasby who I used to see in the office for castings all the time.  The last time I saw her was a good year ago and she had just gone brunette. Only a few days ago I was thinking, 'Where has Hannah Glasby gone?' Well, I guess she's back.

The 'Yo!' Files: Yo, don't you give me the evil eye!

This ring will keep you safe from evil curses and the envy of others.  How about making this in a size 5, Erin?  I want to be safe too!

The 'Yo!' Files: Yo, I just bagged this baby!

I thought I had missed the boat, but as it turns out, I purchased 'the only one left'.  That fire truck red statement of urgency sure does work like a charm. I panicked like a mofo and ran for my Debit Mastercard as soon as it popped up on my screen. Especially after that earlier fright which made me groan, "Not again!" (See here and here), I was not going to take any chances.

What am I talking about? Oh, just this super chic thing.

The 'Yo!' Files: Yo, I found you!

Since my blog about getting an iPhone and my attempt to find the perfect case, I still hadn't found my match.  Until now. I love, love, love the typography.


I really, really, really want it.  You're not allowed to buy it before me and just in case it sells out I'm not telling where it's from! (Even though it's oh so obvious!)

The 'Yo!' Files: Yo, you winter warmer!

Kicking off The 'Yo!' Files is this Kirrily Johnston warm and fuzzy coat.

Introducing The 'Yo!' Files

"Yo" is my word of the mo.  It's on high rotation and it comes out my mouth like word vomit.  If you don't know what "word vomit" means, you need to hire, download or do whatever you need to do so you can watch Mean Girls.  Then, you'll understand and also see LiLo at her very best.

Tonight, I've decided the word, "yo" is so good, it calls for a whole new section of my blog to be named after it.  Introducing, "The 'Yo!' Files": A daily edit (I hope) featuring a single "Yo! I want, need, must-have-you-in-my-life!" item.  The most important kind of items on Earth, really.
 
If you beg to differ, let me know. Holler if you disagree. Don't just think, "Hold up.  These shoes don't scream 'Yo!'" Tell me and correct me!
