Imaginary Shopping Spree: Society for Rational Dress, The Perfect Flat, Vintage Celtics Love (In Tee Form)

Society for Rational Dress top, scoutla.com

I'm kind of into the whole skewed secretary thing from one of my favorite left-of-center fashion labels, Society for Rational Dress. Even though it's "on sale" for $208, sadly, this top is still in the realm of the imaginary for me. A girl can dream, though, can't she? (Kat)

Christian Louboutin patent flats, Net-a-porter (and probably a thousand other places)

While I do love Gwyneth Paltrow irrationally and unconditionally, her recent Vogue interview was sort of annoying, largely because of her inability to acknowledge the fact that she's insanely privileged and isn't just your everyday "working Mommy" as she so insists. Especially her claim of "I'm so busy, I don't even have time to shop! I just go on nightly Net-a-porter shopping sprees!" as if this was somehow going to communicate her normalcy to the world. Anyway, last night I treated myself to a fantasy Net-a-porter shopping spree of my own, you know, to prove how down-to-earth I am. Money may not be able to buy you love, but it sure can buy you convenience. I am constantly buying pairs of cheapie ballet flats, wearing them until they've got holes in the soles (literally!) and have turned brown, or at least brownish. There are no better flats in this world than these Louboutin red patent beauties; I'm assuming they'd last longer than six months, too. It would probably be intelligent of me to grab them next time it's Christmas or my birthday or I win the lottery or whatever, but I'm sure I'll just buy 300 t-shirts instead. (Laura)

Faux-vintage Celtics shirt, amazing amazon.com

This is the least glamorous "Imaginary Shopping Spree" item ever, but hey: I make no apologies. I bought a faux-vintage Lakers shirt the other day and there's the slightest twinge of Boston guilt that's making me long to balance things out by snagging a Celtics shirt next. Plus, it's Marathon Day today, so my Beantown love is really shining strong. And for the record: I'm basically over feeling any shame about wearing faux-vintage tees. Life's too short, you know? It's actually quite liberating. (Liz)
