On My Radar: October 8, 2010

Just a few things I've had my eye on this week...when I arranged them all together for this post, I realized they all look kind of great together!

1.) Shocker, another Blood Is The New Black tee, but you guys, they're so good I'll just never get over them.  I basically live in BITNB's boyfriend tees when I'm off the clock -- they're so soft and perfectly fitted and easy to throw on with anything and automatically look cool.  Right now I really want this Andre the Giant tee, and only partly because I might have had a little bit of a crush on Andre's Fezzik in The Princess Bride when I was a little kid.  "Andre's Posse" boyfriend tee, $42, Blood Is The New Black.

2.) Really liking the short chain length, burnished color, and antiquey feel of this dagger necklace.  I think it would add edge to fall's neutrals layered over longer necklaces in a mix of different metals, and it would also look cool and dramatic worn with something higher-necked.  SOOS Rocks Jewelry "Vintage Sword" necklace, $50, Karmaloop.

3.) OK, these jeans are admittedly a little on the tacky side, but you know I like that, and I think the corset-style lace-up detail is pretty sweet.  Worn wrong they could come off really goth-lite or dominatrixy, but I feel like if you paired them with the right relaxed t-shirt and a generally laid back vibe, they would come off really cool.  I have my eye on them, you guys.  Cheap Monday "Tight Strap" jeans, $88, Nasty Gal.

4.) I can't help it.  I want a turban.  I have no idea if I have the balls to carry one off, but I'm gearing myself up to give it a try.  There are a lot of really cute sweater-knit headband turbans at ASOS, but I feel like if I'm going to go for it, I might as well go all the way with a full-head style.  This one is cheap and just about right.  Polyester turban, $7.99, Luxury Divas.

5.) I've seen these Frankensteiny boots described as "shoes only a fashion blogger could love," and, well, you've got me on that one because yeah I'm basically obsessed with them.  The huge platform, lace-up styling, and chunky wood heel is totally on-point with what I want right now, and I feel like these would be wearable with everything from jeans to leggings to dresses of all lengths to shorts and tights.  They're a little spendy, but I'm considering them fall's version of the Charli-C clogs I manned up and bought for summer, and like the clogs I think they'll be worth it.  Jeffrey Campbell "Lita" boots, $160, Solestruck.

6.) When I was a teen I was fanatically devoted to Revlon's glittery red Ruby Slippers nail polish -- it was pretty much the only shade I would wear.  After it was discontinued, all other glittery polishes seemed to pale pathetically in comparison, so I haven't done sparkly nails since about 2003, and I never thought I missed them until I saw OPI's new Burlesque collection for winter.  You can consider me re-converted because these super-glittery shades look incredible and fresh and I can't wait to wear them.  OPI Burlesque Collection in (from left) Sparkle-icious, Show It & Glow It!, and Bring on the Bling, $6.25/ea, M Beauty Lounge.
