Our shopping list if money were no object.
Brands pay a lot of money to get into Dirt, but it costs nothing to ask 10-15 of your favorite contributors what they would be buying right now if money were no object.
In the words of Colleen Kelsey: āIām not ashamed to be a material girl.ā Best read while shoveling leftovers into your mouth.
Iām in the wrong hemisphere, coming into Spring, but if I were to enter fall again; taut, lambskin YSL gloves.
This property in Harpswell which comes fully furnished with some of the most beautiful antique furniture I've ever seen. The new Rolex 1908 with the gold Settimo bracelet and white dial. A fully loaded Range Rover in navy with tan leather interior
A private tour ā as in, have the place to ourselves ā of the new Grand Egyptian Museum and Hatshepsut's Temple. This Edwardian Pink Tourmaline Ring. An original Jamie Wyeth. Everything on my Barnes & Noble wishlist:
The Davis Boot from Khaite in Black Leather
Basically any of the dogs that look like they are two dimensional or oddly skewed.
I would like the knee high Miu Miu rose boots from the SS 2012 collection, but because I am at the age where when I like something I want it in multiple colours, I would like two pairs.
OH also I would like an afghan hound, borzoi or silken windhound to add to my menagerieā¦ basically any of the dogs that look like they are two dimensional or oddly skewed
I went upstate this weekend and stopped in a gorgeous home goods shop called Little King. If money were no object, I'd buy everything in there... but for back to school season I'd especially have my eye (and nose) on this scent from Stora Skuggan. It's so woody and rich, and I love the forest green orb that snaps on top as a lid. Imagine going back to school doused in that, and then leaving the bottle on your sun-faded dresser every morning as you live your dark academia fantasy. Agh! I covet it!
The North Face Geodome 4 tent. I've never been camping. It would be an indoor tent. I'd put it in my living room to give houseguests some privacy. I'd also use it as a reading nook for days when I feel like shutting the noise of the outside world out, which is increasingly often.
I try not to subscribe to buzzy keywords (eg. Coastal cowboy goth; office siren ballerina) to describe my style but this year Iāve finally embraced that my preferred look is more on the cottage/princess/girlycore spectrum than on the CBK/sleek minimalism spectrum or the one-of-the-boys/2009-model-off-duty one. To this end, I bought a pair of Simone Rocha heels (on mad sale) in hot pink and itās only made me want to go feral snatching up Simone Rocha pieces. On the list is: this skirt and these shoes and DEFINITELY this top and skirt set that Chloe Sevigny just wore to the Venice Film Festival.
Also, this top anddd the very popular but still gorg rose dress that SJP wore on AJLT recently. Iād top it all off with the āWandaā hat from NYC-based brand, Emily Dawn Longāversatile, cool, and a little out of place.
Whoever is paying for this (not me) will match the cost with a donation to Zohran's mayoral campaign.
Iām not ashamed to be a material girl, and if fashion magazines still properly existed, theyād tell you this is the time to spend on a new coat, bag, and shoes that will last forever. For me thatās a round-shouldered, nipped-waist FW1986 AlaĆÆa black wool, an AlaĆÆa Teckel in black leather, and a pair of new season Prada heels that look like Hitchcock's Marnie went through the car wash. Whoever is paying for this (not me) will match the cost with a donation to Zohran's mayoral campaign.
These midcentury ballet saucers, this cross-body bag from Campomaggi in blue, a vintage L.L. Bean throw inspired by seed packets, Dandelion Butter by Clue, and striped sheets by Hommey in Sienna.
