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.

(Faux) Fur

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG Jeans | Shirt Zara | Shoes Vince | Fur Snood Helene Berman, Similar

One essential this winter, for both staying in style and staying warm has to be fur. (Preferably faux, of course.) I'm still working on possibly finding a fur coat, but for now this fur snood is just the right amount of furriness . And I got it in purple to add a little bit of color to my dark winter wardrobe. Check out more furry options to add to your winter wardrobe below:

Holiday Wishlist | Color Play

Since I celebrate Hanukkah most of my gifting is already done. But for the rest of the world, the holiday frenzy is still going strong. So, this is the first of three holiday wish lists/gift guides I will be making until Christmas. I will be posting one a week and they will all be themed. This weeks theme is color play and I have split the list into three color themes, monochrome, neutrals, and oxblood. Sure, there isn't much color in my color themed holiday gift list, but in my defense sometimes basics are the way to go. Especially if your going to be asking for some less affordable gifts, you will want pieces that will last and you can wear over and over again. And yes, I went for splurge-worthy items for this list, but don't worry next week I'll have gifts under $100. If you want to save money, then you'll have to wait for next week's list, however, if you'd like to use the holidays as an opportunity to splurge (which is what I like to do) then shop these items below:

Zara Boots · Equipment Sweaters · Rag and Bone Cocktail Dresses

Wanted | Sweatshirts

There was a time when sweatshirts were reserved solely for lazy days. However, the sweatshirt has been reinvented and given a new purpose. Now, thanks to the likes of Kenzo, Givenchy, and many others, the last place you want to be wearing your sweatshirt is indoors on the couch. Whether it's a simple sweatshirt paired with a skirt or some leather pants, or a statement sweatshirt with a great pair of jeans, the sweatshirt has become a wardrobe staple. And of course, there is nothing I like more than clothing that not only looks good but is super comfy. So obviously I've been on the lookout for the perfect statement sweatshirts and you can shop my favorites below: 

Kenzo Sweats & Hoodies · 3.1 Phillip Lim Sweats & Hoodies · Sandro Sweats & Hoodies

Clothes For Thought | Now Trending

This is my first attempt at a digital version of a Clothes For Thought collage. And while it came out better than expected, I definitely prefer cutting pictures out of magazines and gluing them to paper. There's something about having the pictures in your hand that makes putting together a collage so fun. But, that's not to say I won't try photoshop again. Anyway, I made this collage as an ode to all the fall trends we love so much. Pretty pinks, perfect plaids, simple sweatshirts, lots of leopard, and anything cozy to keep warm. And yes, the quote was meant to be a bit ironic. 

Fashion icons are consistently telling us not to follow trends and to be ourselves but at the same time we look up to them for following and sometimes creating those very trends they don't want us to follow. My advice, don't count out trends. Never put something down because everyone's wearing it. If you love it wear it. I love being inspired by what others are wearing. I don't think of it as copying them, it's purely inspiration. Just take the trend and do it your own way. So, wear what you like and if you like these trends shop my picks similar to the clothing above:

Kenzo Sweats & Hoodies · Topshop Crewnecks & Scoopnecks · Topshop Sweats & Hoodies

Clothes For Thought | Designer Dreams

For this edition of Clothes For Thought I finally opened up the September issue of Vogue. Yes, I know it's November, but that issue is 902 pages, talk about intimidating. But, before I even got to the actual content of the magazine I had already amassed a huge pile of pages just from the ads. And not just any ads, Vogue is filled with pages of ads from the most amazing designers. So I decided to put together some of my favorite wish-I-could-afford-them pieces. What I ended up with was an amazing Chanel coat and boots, seriously does Chanel ever get it wrong? A gorgeous coat from Comme des Garçons, a Saint Laurent sweater dress with the best moto boots, and a beautiful floral print dress from Valentino. And now that I've been inspired by these amazing designer pieces I decided to pick out a few more affordable pieces inspired by the looks above. Shop them below:

Wanted | Softy

This week I am all about anything fuzzy, fluffy, or velvet. In fact, the softer the better. Fall's the time for bundling up and keeping warm, so what better to wear than fluffy sweaters or velvet pants? Ugh, I just love a good trend with benefits. In this case, you get to look amazing while feeling super comfy. I picked out some of my favorite velvet pieces and fluffy sweaters, which you can see above and shop below. And you might even be seeing one of those items on the blog tomorrow, wink wink. In the meantime, shop away.

Pretty In Pink

What I'm Wearing: Sweater ASOS | Jeans Mother Denim | Boots Tory Burch

Normally I stay far away from the color pink, but this season seeing it everywhere had me intrigued. I decided I had to try it out, and I'm glad I did. This oversized pink sweater is beyond comfortable and I love that little pocket. I paired it with leather pants and booties to toughen up the look a little. And the dark lipstick helps give it a little edge too, well as much edge as you can give a big pink sweater. Shop some more of my pink sweater picks below:

Think Pink

Never thought I would make a post dedicated to the color pink... But I have to admit, pale shades of pink are are on trend for fall and winter, and I've found myself actually wanting to wear pink. This is very strange for me as I maybe own a max of 1 pink item of clothing, but some of these items are too good to pass up. I particularly love the pink moto skirt and leather jacket, it's the ultimate contradiction, baby pinks combined with the toughest motorcycle shapes and details. And that pink plaid cape is amazing, and I've been finding it hard to say no to anything plaid lately. Of course, fall is not complete without a good sweater so I will definitely be looking to add a nice pale pink sweater to my closet. Shop these items below:

Topshop Mid-length Skirts · Nordstrom Leather Jackets · American Vintage Sweaters

Bootie Call

(Clockwise From Top)

Nasty Gal, Tory Burch, Nasty Gal, Topshop, MICHAEL Michael Kors, Tory Burch, Vince Camuto, Tory Burch

Booties are everywhere this season. And, with good reason, the shoe is so versatile, perfect for fall, and with all the varieties available it is definitely hard to pick just one. From the playful polkadots to the menswear inspired cutouts, the new Shoe Cult collection from Nasty Gal produced some killer booties. Those topshop cutouts, too, so perfect. I've been dying for some cutout booties for quite some time now, and compared to some of the other ones I've seen these Topshop ones are a pretty good price too. (May have to finally get a pair) I'm also obsessed with Tory Burch's fall shoes, if you couldn't already tell by how many times her name appears above. The gold contrasts are just amazing. And I'm dying over the center pair with the patent leather cap-toe. I do own the ones with the gold heel, that heel height was definitely the most practical for everyday. The burgundy open-toe booties, that color, burgundy leather is just so amazing. Lastly, the wedge. It has to be my favorite one above (aside from the pair I own, of course) and I'm really considering spending some of my saved up cash on them. The gold detail, plus some added height, kind of perfect.

Fall has officially invaded stores. Although we still to have a good amount of warm weather left (I feel like people forget we still wear shorts in September) most of us are ready for fall. And a new season means new trends. The ones I've seen the most, and am most excited to wear are plaid, animal print, and leather. I love the punk vibes on all the mannequins wearing plaid. Animal print is always fun. And who doesn't love leather, I know I certainly want a lot of it in my fall wardrobe. Only thing is, leather is an expensive trend. I even saw mannequins wearing cheetah print and red plaid, so amazing. I can't wait to try every combination of these fall trends. 

Above is my "dream fall closet but not going to happen because it's all so expensive" wish list. And while it's fun to stare at beautiful expensive clothing, you can check out my more affordable fall picks when you click "read more."

One Of Those Days

What I'm Wearing: Skirt Topshop | Sweatshirt Topshop | Shoes Kurt Geiger

Yesterday was just one of those days. The weather was not so great, I was tired, and was not really in the mood to take pictures. The outcome, a comfy-casual outfit, with no makeup (although most days I don't wear makeup anyway), and no jewelry. I do really love this sweatshirt though, it's the perfect throw on piece for those bad weather days. I was going to put on converse, but since I was too lazy to find socks I put on my pointed flats instead. And I must say I like the flats with the outfit. It's laziness at its finest, but it somehow all worked.

A Seasonally Confused Wishlist

Sandals Jeffrey Campbell | Crop Top Missguided | Shorts Topshop | Jacket Truth & Pride | Jumpsuit Reformation | Shoes Topshop

Sorry I don't have an outfit post today. But it was way too hot outside this weekend to take 5 outfits worth of pictures. So instead I figured I'd make a wishlist. And what I ended up with is this seasonally confused wishlist. I do love summer, but after a while I just really want fall. I love shorts, but I miss my jeans, and I just want to put on some boots and a jacket. But as you can tell, I'm not totally over summer, I'm still craving more shorts and sandals too. 

White On Point

What I'm Wearing: Shorts Mango | Tee Topshop, Similar | Shoes Kurt Geiger

With so many people trying it, I thought I'd tackle the all white trend. It's definitely risky, I mean wearing a white shirt anywhere is risk enough, but a whole white outfit? Certainly not something I'd wear out to dinner, but I love the summer chicness of it. I added my new Kurt Geiger pointed flats (a steal at $29, might I add) because pointed toes just add a certain sophistication and they are  very on trend for now and into the fall. And how do you like the title, I like to think I'm very clever. White on point, like right on point...  get it?

Over it All

What I'm Wearing: Overalls Topshop | Tee ASOS | Shoes BCBGeneration

I'll admit, originally I wasn't very into the idea of shorts overalls. I tried on a pair and I thought they made me look like a little kid. But when I saw these, I had to try them. And clearly, I love them. I wore them on the Fourth of July, they're just so cute and easy to wear. I wore them with just a plain black tee but you can also dress them up with a lace top underneath like they show on the website. That's an idea I just might have to try sometime soon. 

Oreo Fashion

What I'm Wearing: Skirt Topshop | Top ASOS | Shoes Converse | Necklaces Kate Spade

Originally I planned to do an all white outfit with this skirt, but then I realized I didn't have a white shirt. So, instead this outfit became another black and white outfit, or Oreo fashion. And I love Oreos so I'm totally cool with dressing like one. I wore my new Topshop lace skirt which is the perfect summer piece with my new hi-top Converse. I've never had hi-tops before and I kind of love them, they are so different for me, but super fun. Since no outfit is complete without some jewels I put on two necklaces I got for my birthday (thanks mom!) and I love how the floral necklace adds some color to the outfit. I also love how the light caught my necklace in one of the pictures and it looks like it has super powers. ;)

Swirling and Twirling

What I'm Wearing: Dress Topshop | Shoes Dolce Vita | Sunglasses Gucci

I absolutely love this dress. I like how it's almost contradictory with the girly floral print but then the sportiness of the number 23. It's just so fun and perfect for summer days. And I hope you like my spinning gif, because it was not easy getting that thing on here. I played around in photoshop to make it and then had to figure out how to get it to work on here. Sorry, it's a little blurry, but at least it moves! I'm just always swirling and twirling whenever I'm in a dress or skirt. It's so fun, I can't resist.
