These Maison Martin Margiela Black Crinkle Booties Are Making Me Cry

($995, Maison Martin Margiela, SSense.com)

These Maison Martin Margiela crinkly slouchy black leather stiletto booties are just about making me weep at the potential. They're also probably so uncomfortable that I'd be weeping at the pain. Sigh. So beautiful. Truly, these are the boots of my despair. Take it away, Patsy!

Designer Vs. Discount: Black Lace Top

($827, Markus Lupfer, Luisaviaroma.com)

See, this Markus Lupfer black lace top with an ooh-ahh inducing exposed zipper is an ooh-ahh-inducing $827! BOO!

It Happened At Topshop!

SHARK ATTACK AT TOPSHOP! Not a real shark, of course, but I was all "OMFG! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE when I saw what could only charitably be referred to as a "schmatte," to use the Yiddish colloquialism. This hyperbolically long graffiti-print maxi dress basically looks like someone stitched a bath sheet together and called it a dress.

It's actually from Topshop's Unique Spring 2010 collection, and while the maxi dress is batshit, I am kinda sad I missed the boat on this nesh shark wrap dress. Oh well. You snooze you lose.
