Galanos Silk Chiffon Dress, YSL etc

amazing vintage knit turban that does not belong to me, unfortunately. I thought this would be a perfect winter hat, something that wasn't a poorly made piece of itchy acrylic. However, it ended up going for over $90 on ebay so I was outbid by quite a lot.
vintage YSL army jacket, worn with YSL sailor shirt, Piazza Sempione Audrey pants, and Prada sandals
vintage YSL two piece set in an op art print
beenebag by Geoffrey Beene vintage "monk's habit" dress, worn with Marni platform sandals
just got these Celine boots from yoox, they're nice, although the toe is a little bit square. The leather lining is so soft. So maybe Ivana Omaziac's designs weren't all bad. The clothes were a bit try-hard and busy though. I've got a feeling that none of the Celine by Phoebe Philo pieces will end up on a discount website.
Another pair of Celine boots, this time with a lace up detail in the back, also from yoox. They weren't available in my size, so I'll keep looking.
Speaking of boots, most of the ones on Yoox are suede, which is a lovely material, but not one well-suited to all the salt and snow around here. I want something else other than my trusty Hunter wellies to wear in the ice and slush, but there are so few options within my price range.
For those who have the money and want warm rubber boots, I recommend Le Chameau. They are made in France, I believe and are lined in leather as opposed to fabric like so many other rubber boots.
Vintage YSL red tweed coat, YSL striped sailor bow blouse, YSL gray wool trousers, and Emanuel Ungaro eel branch heeled shoes.

vintage dress by James Galanos, worn with Prada Fall 06 tortoise platform sandals. My legs look kind of gray, they're not like that in real life.

I haven't posted regularly because I'm lazy, in school and have recently discovered the joys of watching Criminal Minds on certain video streaming sites for free.
