bloomies and the zoester

balk all you want, but i live for the zoe report. not only do i just love her personal style, causing me to love most things she features, but each of her reports have this amazing "alternate universe" section, where she's features a cheaper like-minded version of whatever high fashion gloriousness she's exalting. and what i really love, is that the alternate items she features are actually affordable. i've been thinking about how i need to go buy another crop of tights, as i live in tights from fall to spring, and kate and i have been on a voracious search for two-toned chanel knocks for quite a while. and, i mean, when you're knocking chanel, not just any old thing will do. so, rachel zoe, reading my mind as always, sends out a zoe report today about these sensational gaultier two-toned fishnets...for $135. and then, because she's a blessed, blessed being, she conjured her alternate universe from my immediate universe and featured a pair of these babies:



TWO-TONED TRINA TURK FOR HUE TIGHTS. i mean, you just get right on out of here. yes yes yes, the front panel is not the fleshy opaque of the chanel version, but it's also not the glaring white of all the terrible knock-offs. i immediately texted kate, she immediately implored that i pick her up some too, and there you go. i'm so happy.
