The Year of Nothing New may be over, but this seems only to have increased your desire to know what I've been buying. And not buying.
Your wish is my command.
Note: I've divided this tally into new categories that reflect Bruce Sterling's advice. (A girl can aspire.) The goal is to keep any and all purchases in the first four categories.
BEAUTIFUL THINGS
60% off knee-high Rachel Gryson black boots. I am in love with them. I will also use them to pieces for the next decade. Timeless, beautifully made and HAWT.
EMOTIONALLY IMPORTANT THINGS
Twilight series novels one and three. I had no used buying alternatives, and it was imperative that I read them IMMEDIATELY. (I'm actually serious about them being emotionally important: they inspired a novel idea and have been very instructive for me in the devices of popular fiction.) But they're not keepers: I'll be donating them to the library next week.
TOOLS, DEVICES, APPLIANCES, NECESSARY APPAREL
Oh holy MacBook. The stars are shining brightly. I cannot BELIEVE how much faster my life just got.
Prps boyfriend jeans, I cannot quit you. Amortizing your cost over a per-use basis is going to make you seem downright inexpensive. You also seem to be responsibly made. (I hope.)
Ever sweatshirt: I love you almost as much as HCB.
Elizabeth & James black t-shirt, Elie Tahari button-down blouse that ACTUALLY FITS WITHOUT ALTERATIONS, DVF sweater, Rag & Bone pencil skirt, Anthropologie chinos, and Nanette Lepore wool dress: you were all drastically reduced, extremely high quality, and desperately needed for wardrobe updating purposes. I feel certain that you will be effective and perennial members of my closet.
EVERYTHING ELSE
Nothing. So that feels pretty good...

RE: Bruce Sterling--Does this mean you are also carrying a multitool? If so, what does HCB think of this?
And ummm....which one?
I leave the multi-tooling to HCB. I figure if he's got one, I don't need to bother. As for the brand, he has several. I asked him his preference, and he said he wanted some time to think about it, as it's a very serious question.
