Re: Your recent purchases



I hit up Century 21 early today and got myself a C-Diem pants for only $129! Went straight back home and found my Ann D pants has arrived. I put on the C-Diem's (posted at WAYWT) and went back out to meet my gf. What a day......

Ann D pants - with Les Hommes top, Marsell ankleboots, N(N) wallet chain

C-Diem pants - with RO leather jacket

That is incredible, two beautiful outfits. I would love a pair of those Cdiem pants, the fit is killer. Definitely a couple of the best looks on here.

Is there any way a pair of those Cdiem pants in a size somewhere near a 32 [3-4?] might find there way over to Los Angeles?

Anyways, great buys and I am extremely jealous[:D]

Odin finally got in a new shipment so I got a pair of Common Projects Achilles white sneakers. If you want a completely nondescript pair of white kicks with a more refined shape, these pretty much fit the bill.

Nice pickup. Do you know how they run compared to chucks or Adidas? I think I need a pair.

Re: Your recent purchases

Didn't bother to do the Selfridges sale until today (2 weeks after it started). Nothing but junk left really. I bought these fine ribbed wool Miu Miu arm warmers in beige because they were £5(!) I would never have got them if the price hadn't been so ridiculously low, but I actually love them. I considered buying the chunkier Ann Dem arm warmers at the start of the season for £65 (the same as these were at full retail) but the skinny ribbed fine ones actually look a million times better, which surprised me. For once, an end of sale bargain worth having.

True to size. I wear a 41 normally, and the 41s here are perfectly sized. They're on the narrow side, so if you have wider feet, you may opt to loosen up the laces or go a size up, as some of the Odin staff suggested. I stayed at size and they were instantly comfortable on first wear.

As for adidas, 41 corresponds to an 8 1/2, IIRC, but I wear an Adidas 9 or 9.5, while I wear a Converse 8 1/2. It can all be so confusing...

Re: Your recent purchases



coldrice - some cool items from Thailand. I like the pants...look so comfy.

love you guys' Rick Owens jackets too. Faust - I was interested in your RO jakcet when I was in Hong Kong. I like how the treated poly and leather together...it looks so light and comfy. I would have bought it if it was on sale there. I agreed how it feels better than it looks. Great purchase!

Re: Your recent purchases



Jun, rice, and mia... great buys. Mia or Faust, do you guys know where to get Velvet man online? I remember someone posting a link a while ago, but the search function didn't bring anything up.

This is my most recent purchase from Boston (Stel's): Nom de Guerre Dry Grey jeans. I'm going to leave the denim porn to superfuture's denim board unless you guys want more pictures. I can't say enough praise about the fit of these. I've tried on NDG jeans in the past and were disappointed in the fit, but these are on point.

Re: Your recent purchases

sbw4224... Nice pick on those jeans. My friend bought a pair yesterday as well, and he absolutely loves them. It's just too bad none of the Nom de Guerre pieces will ever go on sale there at Stel's. I would've bought one of their coats if it was ever put in the sales section -- they were on point this season.

Re: Your recent purchases

Yea I purchased the bleached grey NDG jeans while in New York and they are one of my favorites, plus the color is like nothing I've seen before.

Great purchase sbw.

[quote user="casem83"]Oooh, Chris you're making me want those Cloak boots again. I had talked myself out of them a little while ago, but in that pic and in black they look gorgeous! May I ask how much you paid? Did you get them at Cloak? I'm crossing my fingers that I can get them at the Barney's Warehouse sale since people have said there were tons of cloak shoes left there in the past.[/quote]
i initially wanted the desert boots, but recently gave up and settled for these. i felt impulsive and stupid the moment i placed the order, but having seen them in person, i dont regret the purchase at all.i paid $450 + $65 for shipping (which is completely ridiculous, by the way, since it should have cost under $30). i called barneys innew york and la, and they claimed to be sold out of 'everything cloak'.the sole is kind of questionable, but other than that, i love them. theyreally aregorgeous.

and now, i also want the engineer boots.
