so my medical license from new york state still hasn't been issued yet, so i haven't been to "work" yet. today i took a vacation day, and i'm dearly hoping that my license will be issued tomorrow so that i won't have to take another vacation day (or alternatively extend my fellowship).

today, i had to head downtown to the time warner cable office to transfer cable and internet services from the previous fellow to myself. since i was down in the area, i walked to the chelsea loehmann's to browse for awhile. i ended up walking away with a white w/ blue embroidery summer dress from bcbg (discounted, of course). for canadians not familiar with loehmann's, think winners, but more high-end labels. decided to walk back uptown via 5th avenue and passed by the bcbg flagship store @ 40th st, which of course i had to enter. i just couldn't pass on the high waisted mina tulip skirt in geranium:

bcbg mini tulip skirt. (was $138) now 30% off at $96.60

sorry, no pics of the bcbg dress...lack of camera at the moment.

tomorrow clothingline's tocca and milly sample sale starts (july 7-9, 261 w 36th st). if i'm still not allowed to "work", then i might as well go check it out, no?

not a fan, but also this week, alexander wang spring collection sample sale july 9-11, 83 wooster st.

Arrival, including first purchase

have been in the city for a week now and after being a vagabond for the first few days, i am finally settled in my apt.

as it is difficult to shop with a canadian credit card for fear of the exchange rate, shopping has been limited thus far until i start earning american dollars. however...

i have been looking for a strappy shoulder/crossbody wallet-type bag for awhile. truly, the ultimate strappy/wallet-type bag that i want is this:

chanel 2.55 reissue wallet on chain. $1,495

but since the pricetag is more than my rent, it's definitely not on the affordable list. alternatively, i recently perused the current hayden-harnett secret online sale (happening until july 8th). i have been eyeing the staci crossbody bag at h-h for awhile...and was quick to notice that it was now on sale for 50% off.

hayden-harnett staci crossbody, platinum tejus lizard purse. (was $258) now $128

will be awaiting its arrival this week.
