Here Not There

In order to distract myself from how bleary and tired I feel due to not getting my coffee this morning, I went on the hunt for some new stock for my Here Not There feature. We have the usual group of suspects today... ModCloth (abbr. MC, as usual), Ruche, and Lulus.

To save time I'm no longer going to put the "Here:" and "Not There:" text on the images. The prices speak for themselves, so it's not really necessary to have them there.

Here Not There: Lulu's vs. Ruche vs. MC

As usual, MC = ModCloth. ModCloth actually squeaks in a few regularly priced cheaper items here, which is rare for them. They definitely have better discounts on their sale items, too.

Here Not There: MC vs. Ruche Dresses

Here Not There took a vacation for a while, but is now back and ready to catch all the goonies trying to shanghai all those hard-earned (or maybe not so hard-earned) dollars out of your pockets.

Today's goonie is ModCloth (abbr. MC). Enjoy!

I'm actually not 100% sure this is the same dress... I know they are different colors, but the print looks pretty darn similar and they were both made with the same materials, so I think they're the same.

On a side note, I just updated to the new blog composer... how long has that been around? Please don't tell me it's been around for months or I will absolutely rip my hair out.

If I Were Rich: Shoe Edition

You may or may not have noticed, but I most often feature dresses for my Here Not There blogs, and there's actually a reason behind that beyond that dresses are prettiest to look at. When it comes to online shopping (and real-life shopping, for that matter), I am least tempted to buy dresses. I'm not sure why... I suppose that - even though I really like a lot of the dresses I look at - I just really don't hold that dear of a place in my heart for mass produced dresses. I'm more into unique dresses, such as the vintage ones that I buy on Etsy.

Shoes, however, I am very tempted to buy, and as a result I severely limit the amount of time I let myself look at them. Whenever I end up looking at shoes, I always buy some. Always. Last week I went to GoJane.com, and no less that 15 minutes after I started looking I had already bought myself another pair of brown boots (hey, they were cheap!). Yesterday I made the mistake of looking on Charlotte Russe and I fell madly in love with a pair of tan ankle booties. I haven't bought them yet, but I do have them bookmarked and the only reason I haven't bought them yet is because they're a bit more expensive than I feel comfortable with. We shall see...

Today, though, I let myself look without fear of spending; I only let myself look at the expensive shoes, because even I have my limits when it comes to shoe shopping. I once spent $60 on a pair of shoes and regretted it for days, even though I do really love the shoes. So for my pretend shopping trip today I only let myself look at shoes above $60.

My top picks from ModCloth (abbr. MC), Ruche, Lulu's, Urban Outfitters (abbr. UO), and Seychelles Footwear:

$60-$75:
$76-$100:

$101-$125:

$126-$150:

$151-$175:

$175+:
My very favorite pair of shoes out of the whole group, naturally, is the most expensive at $222. Curse my expensive tastes! They have been bookmarked on my laptop for quite some time now, and I make occasional visits to it just to make sure they are still there. I would never buy them at that price so I'm not really sure why I care, but the thought of them being gone, or them not having my size anymore, makes me want to boo-hoo. May it never be!

Here Not There: ModCloth vs. Ruche Dresses

Happy 1.11.11 Day! (Although, I don't know why every thinks that date is so cool... isn't Nov. 11th going to be the real special number day?) In honor of the occasion, I will post this blog at 11:11am just for fun.

As usual, MC = ModCloth. Nothing weird other than that, price differences aside.

Here Not There: Footwear

Today I've got items from four different shops. They are:
Urban Outfitters ("Urban")
ModCloth ("MC")
GoJane
Ruche

Also, I was lazy about getting this blog up, so these prices were accurate as of last week. I can't guarantee that the prices are still the same. Sorry!
