What Gisela Purchased Today

Feeding my habit is getting a bit expensive but I still manage to justify all my purchases, for example, I sold a ton of my old stuff on ebay and it's just fair that I replace the old with the new :-) Ended up at  Century 21 again. I see this is going to be a problem for me since I live right across from that freakin' store. Anyways, big sale still going on and while digging for treasures I found 2 amazing-can't-leave-without-them pieces.

First up is this shocking, patent leather and silk Dolce & Gabbana corset! I tried this one with my new Forever 21 stretchy denim leggings (which by the way are totally amazing and super comfy!) and my new Sam Edelman Balenciaga knock offs, which I got in the mail today (more pics of them coming soon :-))I kinda felt this outfit is like Posh Spice meets Mary-Kate, ya think?

Just look at the brilliant craftmanship and the marvelous details!

Next up is a soft, buttery, white leather Maison Martin Margiela jacket, which doubles as a vest. Its versatile and in my opinion, timeless! (Please pardon my jammies and the tags, lol.)

So what you think guys? Did I do good?

    OMG OMG OMG. I love all of your purchases, but I fear for your financial situation if you live right across the street from a Century 21! I know I wouldn't be able to resist a daily visit!

    Great purchases Gisela! I can kind of relate, because there's an outlet on the street I live that stocks Margiela, Westwood etc. and I've basically raided most of their stock. But I think C21 is worse (it's bigger = more damage). That corset is very rock chic and I'm a huge fan of Margiela, so I definitely approve of the jacket/vest. Is the entire thing leather? In any case, I agree - it's very versatile! Have a great weekend!

    I'll be in NY in October and may go to century 21! I think you need patience to go there and that is not me! hehe. The items you found are yummy! I am dying of jealousy that you are going to fashion week...I'll be looking forward to seeing the pics!

    I can't get over the things you find in Century 21 - I used to hit up the one in Long Island where I used to live and there was nothing like that :(
    ...I'll be in NY next month again, guess I'm going to have to find one in the city
