Happy new year everyone! Here's hoping you and yours had a safe and happy holiday season. I wanted to start this post out with an apology for the lack of posting over the last couple of days; I got pretty sick and wasn't feeling up to much of anything. Luckily, I'm feeling much better now and am ready to keep bringing you some sickening $ales! You ladies and gents are in for a treat today, because I'm featuring some amazing $ale items from one of my all time favorite online luxury stores -- SSENSE.
LADIES
Okay, so I tried my best not to be bad, but that's really hard with a selection as mind-blowing as the one at SSENSE. I couldn't resist putting a few $plurge items in the mix though, so the last few will be pretty pricey, but I think you'll still appreciate how insanely amazing they are. If you do happen to have a couple grand burning a hole in your Birkin, make sure you check out the $plurges! Let's get started.
Alexander Wang is at it again with this sexy layered blouse. I love the short and long sleeve combo and the sheer panels. You might wanna bust the double-sided tape out for this one. Pair with black skinny jeans and a small metallic (Alexander Wang) clutch. So chic!
$222 from $455
Available in sizes 0, 2, 4
I openly admit that I have an affinity for nature/animal/print T-shirts, so you know I'm loving this one from Matthew Williamson. Check out the close up of this one on SSENSE's website -- it's super rad! Half off!
$172 from $345
Available in sizes XS, S, M
There are few things better in life than a great pair of Nudie Jeans. They form to your body over time and are sure to become your favorite pair in your wardrobe. Those of you with Nudies know what I'm talking about! Snagging these skinnies at half off would be a decision I would definitely support.
$118 from $235
Available in sizes 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29
How sick are these shoes from (duh) Jeffrey Campbell. I love the ostrich embossing on the leather and am obviously obsessed with this graphic deco heel. These are under $100 and pretty much a no brainer.
$92 from $185
Available in sizes 6, 7, 8, 9
Got one more pair of JCs for ya. I love the stacked 90s inspired heel on this pair of basic black lace-up boots. These remind me of something Enid and Rebecca would have worn in Ghost World, which is always a good thing. Half off!
$138 from $275
Available in sizes 7, 8, 9, 10
So, I had to decide at what point I would label something a $plurge, and $400 seemed like a reasonable amount. Everything from this point on will be a $plurge, so get some tissues ready folks. I'm swooning over this perfect Proenza Schouler top. So necessary.
$472 from $675
Available in sizes 0, 2, 4
Is anyone else ready to sell their soul to Riccardo Tisci for this Givenchy messenger bag? Thought so.
$1312 from $1875
This Alexander Wang poncho... oh my God. I remember seeing this in runway photos and thinking "How did he do that!?" The fade from knit into leather is SO SICK. Only $2,000. Any takers?
$1998 from $3995
Available in size XS/S
GENTLEMEN
A classic trench is something every man should have. I love the color and traditional detailing on this trench from Shades of Grey by Micah Cohen. This is a jacket that will last you for seasons to come. Half off!
$148 from $295
Available in sizes S, M, L, XL
I'm really wanting this olive cord overshirt from A.P.C.! This is the perfect layering piece for a black coat during winter. It's half off -- gotta love that.
$140 from $280
Available in sizes S, M, L, XL
You guys already know I love Opening Ceremony. This patchwork shirt is calling my name. A little bit of everything = a very happy James.
$144 from $205
Available in sizes S, L
Loving these desert boots from Cheap Monday. They come in two colors and are pretty cheap. These would go with anything! I might just have to order a pair... Which color do you guys prefer?
$80 from $115
Available in sizes 43, 44, 45
$59 from $85
Available in size 42
Here's another pair of great classic shoes from Paul Smith. His clothing/shoes are always impeccably made, so I'm betting these shoes are lined in super soft leather and insanely comfortable. Sign me up.
$192 from $285
Available in sizes 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
Seriously into these H by Hudson boots. I love myself a black leather boot, and these look way more expensive to me than the price tag. Perfect for a night out!
$227 from $325
Available in sizes 41, 42, 43, 45
Okay guys, your turn for a serious $plurgefest. This Alexander McQueen coat needs to get out of my face and onto my body. It makes me want to cry. $plurge on this and rest assured you will have the sickest jacket in a 100 mile radius.
$2288 from $4575
Available in sizes 46, 48
I always obsess over everything Rick Owens, and these boots are no exception. For me, brown and black is a combo I always love, so these boots are already feeling near and dear to my heart. They may not be the perfect boots for everyone, but they're the perfect boots for me!
$1012 from $2025
Available in sizes 40, 41, 42, 43, 44
Hope you guys enjoyed this post featuring SSENSE! Both the men's and women's sides have about 15 pages of $ale items, so this is just a tiny bit of everything they have to offer.
Here's to the first post of 2012 and a year of buying amazing stuff at the $ale $ection -- because shopping retail costs more.
