joelle van dyne: gold star

joellevandyne: you may remember my birthday wishlist, which i posted here in september. these ridiculous miu miu sparkle butterfly sunglasses were on that list, and at last, they are MINE! i fell in love with these as soon as i saw them shimmering down the runway, and put myself on a wait list for them in august, hoping to have them as a 30th birthday gift to myself. by october i had given up on ever receiving a pair, but then, lo and behold, in the end of november, they arrived. once a birthday present, now a christmas present. when i went to pick them up, there was another woman at miu miu yelling at the sales associate “i KNOW you got the glasses! i don’t know why you’re lying about it! i’m sure you kept them for yourself!” she had ordered a pair from the same collection and was QUITE upset about not getting her glasses. i waited until she was safely gone before proudly announcing that i was there to pick up my own! i like to celebrate these glasses by dorkishly matching my entire outfit to them: shiny golden stars, a yellow dress, and boots that make me feel like a superhero. i can’t wait until i’m wearing these glasses on the beach with a gold lame’ swimsuit instead of a fur coat. to do before spring: acquire gold lame’ swimsuit. miu miu sunglasses, vintage fur coat, rebecca taylor blouse, black halo dress, wolford tights, stuart weitzman 5050 boots, jcrew bracelet
