Now that the American Dollar is FINALLY going up (although I know this is more of an indicator of economic duress in the rest of the world than an indication that our economy is getting better), I feel like it just might be the right time to engage in some online shopping. Not that I have the funds or the means, but now that everything overseas seems tantalizingly in reach, I can't help but spend hours clicking through farfetch.com, etc. Yesterday night, I discovered that the amazing Swedish retailer, Tres Bien Shop has semi-opened their long awaited (by me at least) online boutique, and even though most of their wares aren't up yet, I found plenty of Minimarket stuff to drool over. Seeing as Jimmy and I are returning to Stockholm this summer, when sales will hopefully be in full swing, I know I should hold out and wait, but of course it's more fun to have things now, and then there's the added incentive of receiving a 20% VAT discount as a non-EU resident. Personally, I'm longing for the bubble-gum-pop cerulean blue zipper-backed wedge boots, that are unfortunately sold out in my size (otherwise they'd be mine already). They also come in black, and after the 20% discount are around $220, just slightly more than my on-sale Margiela nail booties. Here are some other Minimarket pieces from the website that are tempting me to dig deep into my cobweb filled wallet.
The black version, with a back view of the zipper.
The bright red bowler hat that I saw at Rendez-Vous, around $100. I might look for a cheaper version on eBay...
