I Dream Of Diane Von Furstenberg

($725, Diane Von Furstenberg, DVF.com)

I both dream of and die for this Diane Von Furstenberg navy sequin coat from the Diane Von Furstenberg Fall 2010 collection. Well, I die figuratively for it. Not literally. No coat is worth actually dying for. I knew I loved sequins, but I never knew I could love navy so much. I'm constantly amazing myself, aren't I?

Please also note the excellence of the Axelle DVF sequined cardigan, which comes in black and navy. Normally I'd go for black sequins, but since I already own a black sequined cardigan and a black sequined t-shirt, I'd go for navy. Also, navy's apparently having a moment this fall.

Anyway, since I'm now clearly on a DVF binge, please enjoy my grown-up girl dress that I bought this summer. It's the DVF Anina khaki silk shirtdress, and it looks casual, but it's really not. It's basically a gorgeous earthy canvas that you can style approximately 17,032 different ways.

I bought my DVF Anina dress (on sale!) at Diane T., which is a really nice boutique in Cobble Hill. It's kind of like a touch on the more conservative/mainstream side than is Bird. And a hair more affordable.

Finally, I TRULY think someone should buy me this Diane Von Furstenberg leather wrap dress (!!!!). I've worked very hard this year, I've been a very good girl, and I always finish all of my broccoli before asking for dessert.

Raquel Allegra's PERFECT Little Black Leather Dress

($724, Raquel Allegra, Switchboutique.com)

YES! See? NON-skanky leather dresses. The long sleeves on this gorgeous Raquel Allegra leather dress totally nullify any predetermined leather dress hooch factor. Covet City over here.

Is A Non-Slutty Leather Dress Just Too Much To Ask For?

Is it really? All I want is a bad-ass leather dress that doesn't make me look like a prosti or a Hell's Angel or both.

(Apprx $199 USD, Warehouse.co.uk)

Apparently Warehouse has the perfect LLD, but they don't ship to the US. Warehouse, I'm sorry I totally didn't help you stay in business when you still existed in New York. Maybe if you had awesome shit like this back then I would've dropped the zero that gets the hero. #totallysuperficialretroactivereversebuyersremorse

Mango's little black leather dress is OOOkay, I guess, but it's too boxy. I need me a pretty little girlie cut to offset the bad-ass leatherness.

... And yet, this leather garbage bag/ upside-down hot air balloon is far sadder than Warehouse not shipping to the US.
