Want It: Custom LoveLife Sundress
I own a skirt from Felice Pappa's LoveLife Collection and I'm a fan of her fabric designs, particularly her Frida Kohlo print. I saw the long version dress by the fashion line on Addy & Ferro's blog (♥) last summer, but somehow I missed it. So I called the company up this afternoon to find out if I could somehow get my hands on the dress and it turns out, I can get it made to my specifications. I'm going to order it strapless with sweetheart neck and in maxi length. It's going to be my favorite dress evar!

Wishlist #6: New Gear for the New Year
1. Thugs & Kisses Leather Handbag by Tano, $198. 2. Leather Credit Card File by Abas, $24.50. 3. Beaded Cowl Neck Top by Silence & Noise, $35 4.Black Zoey Boot by Dolce Vita, $200. 5. Dressed Down Leather Handbag by Tano, $250.
Bought it: Tano Handbag
I bought my first Tano a few years ago at Addy & Ferro (♥). It was my first highend bag purchase, but I thought it was a good investment considering it's style, practicality and quality were a far cry from the shoddy street vendor sacs I used to tote. My fanhood was further solidified when I ruined the bag in a bike accident. I went back to Addy & Ferro to find out if there was any sort of warranty that covered the damage. Yes! The folks at A&F took the bag, sent it off to Canada and a week later I picked up a brand new version of the exact bag at no charge. Bananas. Since, the only bags I buy are Tano. Well worth the price and so so stylish. I love my very first Tano (a chocolate brown shopper) but it's so annoying to deal with a shoulder bag in the winter--they always slide down my arm. And because I want to get out of the habit of carrying a huge amount of stuff I don't need, I purchased a new sling bag that leaves my arms frustration free :).

Last Shoe Buy of 2008
I wish I had my camera with me on Wednesday! New Year's Eve turned out to be a pretty fun evening, though I chose to roll solo and though I drank far more than I could handle. I still feel a little wonky. Everything fell into place quite beautiful though, most notably the discovery and lucky purchase of these incredible shoes by Report Signature. Gold lame D'Orsay peep toe with sky high 4" clear heel and skull & crystal detail on its super low vamp. Originally priced at around $175, your girl scored these bad boys for a mere $26.50 at 5pm on Wednesday at the best shoe store in the city, Shoegasm on 23rd. More proof that I am quite possibly the world's best shopper.

Want It: Born as a Raggamuffin
Featured on Fly today, I first got a taste of the fun and sexy designs of Born as a Raggamuffin a few weeks ago at the Brooklyn Urban Arts Market. The designers hand-make each incredible piece from recycled fabrics and found clothing. I love the bright colors and the summery feel to the line. I aspire to create garments as beautiful as these someday. I only wish I'd found the line back in May!

New Photos at Coney Island!
I found a photographer on Model Mayhem a few weeks ago, and I really dig her work. We met up and took new pics at Coney Islan (which I'm a ashamed to say I hadn't visited since I was about 7 years old). I gotta say, chemistry is everything! Though she was polite, we just didn't click and I was uncomfortable and I think you can see that in the pictures. She's young, so I'll cut her some slack, but I was really disappointed by the number of useless shots I ended up with and the number of imperfections in the workable shots. Take a look and leave your thoughts.

Want It: Puma Cat Hi
I fell for these most outstanding sneakers back when I was working at Puma Soho. It's since been damn near impossible to find them for purchase in stores and online.
A year ago I found out that they were selling em like candies in Japan and have been on a mission to somehow get them on my feet. As luck would have me, a coworker won a dance competition that's taken him to Japan. I sent him off with a printout of the following picture and an IOU. He's returning next weekend. Victory will soon be mine!

Posing for Delphine
I'm a huge fan of Delphine Diallo's photography, illustrations, and collages. I sent her a message on MySpace gushing about how amazing I think she is and asking if she'd be interested in taking my portrait. I was hardly expecting a reply, and then she said yes (!). Delphine Diallo is going to take my picture.

Wishlist #2: Endless.com
My boss introduced me to this man made utopian dream of a website: www.endless.com last week... the name says it all. I could happily spend the rest of my days browsing through its ginormous collection of some of the most beautiful shoes I've ever seen! The website is incredibly shopper-friendly and features customizable sorting so you can categorize your browsing by vitals like color, heel height, and price. Plus they offer free overnight shipping (!!) and free returns (!!!). They sell bags too. Lately I've been getting into clutches. Not only are these practical little purses on trend, but they're perfect for night out or weekend brunch without the bulk of those silly yet wildly trendy (why, I wonder) oversize valises. I found more than just a few favorites. Look it! 
Vince Camuto Women's Oaks Pump, $129.95. Cindy Says Women's Alpha Platform Sandal, $106.95. Report Signature Women's Missy Bootie, $157.21. Cynthia Rowley Cleo Metallic Clutch, $345.00. Inge Christopher Vicotia Clutch, $148.00.
You can contact me at laeticiavp[at]gmail[dot]com for the mailing address to which any of the above items should be sent.
Thanks and you're welcome.
bisou bisou.
