Favorite Item Poll

luckylily · Gucci

My favorite thing is probably this jacket. I bought it last spring, mine is an olive/army green color. I love it, wear it all the time.

halleybird · Hermes

I am ridiculously obsessed with hoodies right now. I love everything in my closet that has a hood. I think my juicy hoodies are my favorites right now, this one particularly, because I adore the color:

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

Hmmm, my 2 current favorite items that I want to wear/carry all the time are:

I tend to go for a casual, funky look (kind of a cross between Mary-Kate/Ashley Olsen), so I love putting these under everything and letting them hang out from under whatever shirt I'm wearing (this means I buy the Large so it stays long enough, even after washing)

and my accessory obsession is this:

I've had this bag since August and I carry it everywhere. It's my first designer handbag

Elle · Hermes

I got these HYPE pumps in black suede and they are the most gorgeous things ever! I can't wait for the weather to get a bit warmer so I can wear them all the time!

CarrieS, do the large ones run large in the chest too? i always buy the hanes in small and love the length when i first put them on, but hate that they get shorter & shorter with each washing. but i'm scared that i won't get the same fitted look with the large ones.

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

Well unfortunately, the larges are HUGE in the arm holes, meaning it's a tiny big in the chest also (I'm a 34C, if that helps at all). I usually wear a small underneath the large just to cover up the huge-ness of the armholes. I was buying the small, but I had the problem too, of them shrinking more and more after every wash also, so I switched to large purely for the length (I like them to hit about upper thigh length-really long!). I do only double them up (small and large over it) if I'm wearing crewneck tee. If I have something off the shoulder, I only wear the small.

Maybe try a medium to see if that's a better compromise between small and large? I might buy a 3-pack just to try it myself....

As a side rant, why can't tshirt companies make tshirts that hit longer than waist length?! Grrrrr.....

honey · Gucci

thanks for the info. i might try the medium and see how it goes, plus it's such a pain sometimes to find them in smally.

c&c makes really great layering tanks that hit upper thigh, the only thing is they are so pricey. i got a bunch on sale and i like them so much that i'm strongly considering sucking it up & buying a couple at full price, so i can have more nice long tanks.

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

I thought of C&C too, but, yeah, the price isn't something that's affordable for me, especially on something so basic....Some time I'll probably suck it up and buy one or two...

jen · Kate Spade

I have a white studded belt that I wear with EVERYTHING! I buy a lot of clothes from urban, so it fits in with that style of clothing but I also wear it with my pale pink tweed jacket to punk it up a bit. I wear it with casual and dressy outfits. It either fits the outfit or adds an funky punch.

tri_sarah_tops · Marc Jacobs

This bracelet is my favorite thing. I got it for Christmas last year and I wear it virtually every day. I think it looks good with everything.

sfclinevandy · Coach

For Christmas, I got a Chanel bag from my parents (actually, just my mom because my dad would have a heart attack if he found out how much she paid for it). I hinted but I totally didn't expect it. It's PERFECT in size, design, and made all my friends jealous. I've only carried it once though because I'm scared to death something happening to it.

My more practical, everyday accessory are my black Reef flipflops.

Chic · Marc Jacobs

My "new" watch, my father gave me his Cartier Tank Watch that is at least 15 years old, with black band, but I am getting this brown I think. I love that it is such a beautiful piece and that it was his.

fashionista L · Coach

My fave item is a tie wrap sweater from AF!! It is so coz and goes with almost everything!! Sorry no pic!

Lilykind · Hermes

Favorite all timer: In the end, my black low-top Converse Chucks that are trashed and that I will never get rid of (although I will probably buy another pair within the next year or so)

I these like no other

(a very close second is a pair of vintage hand me down black leather Chanel ballet flats)

My favorite newer addition is probably my black leather knee high kitten heeled Kenneth Cole boots. They would probably be all-stars except that I only got them in September.
