  2. love the 2nd jacket. i always regretted not buying a long moschino coat and a chanel boucle jacket in wheat color.

  5. lol my brother said the exact same thing about the mushroom too haha. But you must agree that it is pretty wicked awesome right? huh huh? :O

    Read your interview on Nina’s and your answers were well thought out. Very deserving you were 😉

    And don’t sweat it, you’ll find another bargain gem sooner or later 😉

  7. when you see a vintage piece you love you should ALWAYS buy it – I still lament a Pucci piece that at the time seemed really highly priced and looking back it would have been a steal 🙁

    But then again I am biased just a teeny tiny bit

  8. I prefer the first jacket I think. Typical of me to like the more expensive one – this habbit of always liking the most expensive of everything (from shoes to chewing gum) is terrible!

  10. The second is a complete BARGAIN compared the the first! Set up a JustGiving fund!!! I think it’s a worthy cause haha!

  11. I can so picture you in either of those. They’re both fabulous. Keep looking; the right one will come to you at the right price.

  13. Oh man. That Watanabe jacket is just so amazing. I would recommend that you play the lottery.

  14. Both jackets are amazing! When I saw the first one, I was like, “WHOA!” I wish I could own a piece like that.

  16. That denim jacket is so crazy yet so beautiful! AND YOU HAD SILVER LIPSTICK? That is brave, and incredible. What made you stop wearing it 😛

    love

  17. I love that denim jacket, theres definitely room for it in the wardrobe…too bad about the price! ahhh!

  19. I really like the first one, would look great with some skinny pants, the second one is a little much it would depend on the whole look. x

  20. That Junya Watanabe denim jacket rocks…alll the nicely faded parts all fit nicely together.

    Can you please open your comment box to other domains? My google account is old.

  21. Hey Brook and Lyn…Blogger only gives four comment options:
    Anyone – includes Anonymous Users
    Registered Users – includes OpenID
    Users with Google Accounts
    Only members of this blog

    I have Registered Users — OpenID, so hopefully that means you don’t have to be on gmail to use it. I don’t have the time/energy to deal with anonymous users so that option is not going to happen! Things might change when I integrate the blog with my website on anothe service, but I don’t anticipate that being done till the summer.

  24. I can totally see you in the vintage Cavalli. I need to incorporate more of your “Phuket”
    style. (I don’t swear on-blog so read between the lines…Thanks for the comments Wendy…I’m licking my wounds then I’ll be back. You’re such a faithful blogger friend. I can count on you to be the first one at the party when I post…I thought of you today when I saw this amazing Gimabattista Valli roses evening coat on Gilt.com. Go look at it. It looks like you, non?

  25. I’m not a fan of denim jackets, but I love the Junya W. too. I remember thinking it was pretty spectacular for a denim jacket when I first saw it.

  27. love them both!!the cut of the first is AMAZING! it would fit perfectly on.can see it on you Wendy.
