I think I could spend every penny I have on NastyGal.com. No, I know I could. A follower of the San Francisco-based company's Facebook page (updated daily with the power to consume hours of my time at once), every month I'm overwhelmed by their "Monthly Arrivals" albums.

The 'New Arrivals-November '11' album was exceptionally impressive. When it popped up on my newsfeed the other day and I began to click away, I came to the conclusion that I literally wanted to own EVERY item in EVERY one of the 153 pictures on the page. But, while NastyGal is actually priced really reasonably, I literally have no cash to throw around right now. Zip. Zilch. Zero.

So, here I am, and I figure if I can't buy any of it I can at least blog about it.

There are a lot of prints in the new arrivals. A lot of animal and A LOT of tribal. The tribal skirts (above) are some of my favourite pieces. I mean, having a great print skirt never fails...you can throw it on with a simple black top and be ready to go. Easy, peasy.

There's a major '80s/'90s throwback theme to a lot of the November pieces. When I was looking through the pictures, I kept getting Madonna songs stuck in my head...

I really like the style of dresses above. NastyGal seems to be loving this side cutout look and I think it adds a lot to what would be just simple dresses.

All in all, the November Arrivals are definitely worth checking out. I promise you won't be disappointed. And, if you follow NastyGal on Facebook you get a new album of great clothes like this every month (YAY!): http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150428137285218.405641.52594470217&type=3

a little thirsty

Do you need something to quench your mid-afternoon thirst right now... a thirst that soda water in your purse just can't seem to quench? Friends, it's time to invest the "Baggy Winecoat."

Imagine you're sitting in your office and you absolutely cannot stop thinking about that glass of Pinot Noir that's just waiting for your to get home. Now you don't have to. Just grab your wineglass out of the dry compartment and pour yourself a glass straight from your purse.

I hope you all understand I am clearly joking. As easy as this is (Buy a box of wine, take tetra-pack bag out, insert bad into bottom of purse, and you're ready to drink), can you imagine popping out the vino on a bus, or in class?

What do you think? Is it worth the $56 or would you rather stay classy and avoid this?

Buy here at the Scandinavian Design Center.
