Wanted | Birthday Wishes

1 | 2  | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11

My birthday may be over, but the shopping is not. I have a few dollars to spend now from some birthday gifts so now the fun really starts. Obviously I can't buy everything pictured above, but a few of these items will definitely be bought. Not sure which ones just yet, still figuring all that out. Anyway, I must confess I already got the mini Balenciaga, it was a gift from my parents (thanks!), but I had to put it on the list anyway since it was on the original birthday wish list. The rest of the items are really just a random selection of items I have my eye on.

 I've been really wanting easy dresses for the summer, so a few of those made it on the list. And even though that Anine Bing dress (number 10) is sold out basically everywhere I still put it on the list in the hopes that someone who happens to be a size xs might just return one. 

Then of course there's tons of jewelry that I'm currently pining for. Basically anything dainty, simple, or with a pearl is on the list. Then there's the Elizabeth and James bucket bag/backpack that I've been in love with for quite some time but can't quite convince myself to actually buy (I love pocketbooks as much as the next person, but how many does one really need?). 

And lastly, there had to be some shoes on the list. These Vince booties have been on my mind for a while now, one of these days I'll just go ahead and buy them. And I've given in, I'm going to buy a pair of birks, you just can't beat that comfort, plus most woman in fashion have already accepted them.

Half&Half

What I'm Wearing: Shirt Aritzia | Skirt Free People, Similar | Shoes Converse | Necklaces Michael Kors, Dogeared, Dogeared

How cute is this shirt/dress I got from Aritzia? I love the bluish-gray color of the top with the black bottom. And I also love how it works perfectly as a dress, with a skirt or slip underneath because it has slit sides, but it will also work perfectly with some skinny jeans or some leggings once the weather gets cold. I wanted to keep the dress super casual so I threw on my converse. Plus, I stepped up my necklace game by wearing four necklaces instead of the usual three. I love how the two Dogeared necklaces lay next to each other, they are so delicate and so cute. 

P.S. How cute is the little puppy parade going on in the third picture :)

Zip It

What I'm Wearing: Shorts Mango, Similar | Tee The Kooples | Shoes Ted Baker | Rings Bing Bang NYC, Bing Bang NYC (Triangle Midi), Rebecca Minkoff (Stacked), LLI Wireworks (Midi)

I used to have a legitimate fear of white pants. I mean seriously, there's just so many things that could go wrong. But, I've slowly conquered my fear thanks to the help of Mango and Zara and their irresistible white shorts. These shorts are just silky goodness, so comfortable. And I love white with navy, such a good combination. So when I picked up this awesome zippered tee I had to pair the two together. 

Jewels On Jewels

What I'm Wearing: Watch Skagen | Bangles Marc By Marc Jacobs, Alex and Ani | Rings Urban Outfitters, Urban Outfitters, Rebecca Minkoff | Necklace Rebecca Minkoff | Sunglasses Gucci

These pictures are from a post I wrote for A Scandalously Fabulous Life a few weeks ago, but I thought I'd post them on here as well. The jewelry in these pictures is pretty much my everyday jewelry, give or take a few pieces depending on my mood. I've been really into layering simpler pieces of jewelry. So for me that means stacks of bracelets, some bangles, lots of rings, and 2-3 necklaces. I like how it makes a statement but at the same time it's still a simple more delicate look.

Maxin' Out

What I'm Wearing: Skirt Similar | Tee Aqua, Similar | Shoes Steve Madden | Hand Chain Etsy | Rings Rebecca Minkoff

As you know, I love trying new trends. But the one trend I never really got into was the maxi trend. And technically I still haven't really gotten into it because I borrowed this skirt from my mom. However, I may have to get my own maxi skirt. They are just so comfy and easy to wear. I also posted a close-up of my jewelry because I got a new hand chain that I'm really excited about. I bought it from Etsy and its handmade. It's just so delicate and beautiful, plus it has a pearl on it (my birthstone) and a small feather which is customized with the letter M. Definitely check out the Etsy store in the link above. 

Tailored.

What I'm Wearing: Shorts Wilfred (Aritzia) | Tank Wilfred (Aritzia) | Shoes Steve Madden | Watch Skagen | Rings Rebecca Minkoff (Stacked), Urban Outfitters (Midi)

I found the most wonderful new store while shopping in the city. It's called Aritzia and I highly recommend checking it out. The people who work there were so incredibly helpful and the brands there are all amazing. I picked up this outfit there, as well as a few other items that will be on the blog within the next few weeks. I think these shorts may be my favorite item I picked up though, the fabric is beautiful and as the description says they are perfectly tailored.

Pass The Mustard

What I'm Wearing: Shorts Aqua, Similar | Tee Zara | Blazer BCBG | Shoes Chanel | Sunglasses Gucci | Jewelry Urban Outfitters, Rebecca Minkoff

Not only was this blazer on super sale, but it's also like the coolest mustard color ever. I think it's so fun to just add a nice pop of color to a black and white outfit with some mustard yellow. And I got new sunglasses for my birthday which I am absolutely in love with. I also got some fun new jewels from Urban Outfitters and Rebecca Minkoff. The bar necklace and stackable rings are Rebecca Minkoff and the handpiece, other ring, and midi rings are all from Urban Outfitters. 

Vroom Vroom

What I'm Wearing: Jeans Free People | Shirt Rag & Bone | Shoes Ted Baker | Sunglasses Jimmy Choo | Bracelets Marc By Marc Jacobs, Alex and Ani | Ring Frey Wille

I am absolutely in love with my new motorcycle shirt. I also have motorcycle printed denim shorts that will be blogged about soon, and possibly even worn as a full motorcycle outfit. I can't help it I just love how cute the print is. But for today I decided to wear it with my black and white printed skinny jeans and I love how it looks. I feel like it's almost a little bit like 90's grungy with the print of the pant, but then my super girly flip flops and all my jewelry make it more modern and fun. 

Denim on Denim on Denim

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Shirt Double Zero, Similar | Shoes Steve Madden | Watch Skagen | Ring Frey Wille

I am certainly embracing the denim trend with this outfit. I decided to put denim in every aspect of my outfit with a denim collared shirt, my favorite jeans, and, yes, even denim sandals. And, as promised, I put a close up of all my gold jewels. I'm wearing my new watch, which I am completely in love with, a bracelet my amazing aunt gave me, and my great-grandmother's bracelet. I love how the colors in the bracelet my aunt give me match my colorful rings. And I also really love how my nails match the colors in my rings too, I feel so coordinated and put together. 

Animal Instincts

What I'm Wearing: Dress Free People, Similar | Sweater Michael Stars | Tights Betsey Johnson | Boots Steve Madden | Headband Free People

Okay, so I went a little crazy with the animal print. I can't help it it's just so fun. I love these awesome leopard print tights. And because of the crazy tights I kept it simple with a navy lace dress and a sweater. This leopard print headband is also so cute, and I love to wear it on top of my hair too, but I think that works better when my hair is curly. 

Feeling Edgy

What I'm Wearing: Leggings Free People, Similar | Shirt Free People, Similar | Skirt Silence & Noise | Boots Steve Madden | Bracelets Alex and Ani, Angelique de Paris, Free People | Rings Alex and Ani

How cool are these leggings? I wish they still had them on the website, but I did buy them a few years ago. Anyway, I think they are so unique and cool so I paired them with just a simple oversized shirt in one of my favorite colors to wear, army green. (the color brings out my eyes) And I put a black skirt on underneath for just a little extra coverage. And I have another close-up of my jewelry today because you can see the charms on my Alex and Ani ring better, and I'm wearing this super cool aztec Free People bracelet.
