Sign me up!

For some reason I have not yet ordered anything from ASOS (despite knowing for months that you could order it in the U.S. now. And then, I came across this, All American-girl collection.... If that's American, then count me in.

Can I justify spending $112 on leggings?

Probably not, but these are so so awesome!

It will be mine...oh yes, it will be mine

How much will I have made it when I have a Stella McCartney suit? A lot, that's how much.

....a light convertible too, light blue!

When it comes to Christmas gifts, I usually ask for the little things that I've been wanting but for some reason just won't (or can't as the situation may be) buy for myself. I believe all the relevant parties have been notified of my desires for this year well in advance. But I thought I'd share my list here, maybe you know a nerd with a penchant for design and fashion who would want similar items....

1. A flower from Emmerson Made. I can't wait to wear this with my camel coat. 2. Some new nail polishes. I have been coveting these very "now" Chanel polishes for awhile.3. Some new perfume. I believe I narrowed it down to Stella and Burberry Pop. 4. A new pencil skirt. I really cannot imagine my work wardrobe without them.5. Cooking classes for Blair and me. I am especially in need of a good knife skills class.
6. Fuji Instax. Ever since all my Polaroid film expired I've been looking for a suitable replacement. PB and I love taking instant pictures while traveling.

7. An everyday bag. Last year I was lucky enough to get a nice designer bag, but it started wearing down super fast, this seems like it would be great for day in and out use.
What did you ask for?

Santa Baby, there's one thing I really do need, the deed to a platinum mine

Before I get around to posting my actual Christmas list, I thought I'd take a little trip to fantasy land. If this list wouldn't put my husband, friends, and family into the poor house, here's what I'd ask for:

1. Classic Quilted Channel foldover bag. Definitely in red.

2. Eames armchair and ottoman. 3. Kate Spade Palace of Mirror bib necklace. Actually pretty much any jewelry from Kate Spade, so huge, colorful and retro! 4. Chloe flat riding boots (dying over that nude color). 5. Anything from Thom Browne's Spring/Summer 2011 collection. I am completely taken by that 70's look totally deconstructed and revamped for Spring. 6. A private pilates lesson every morning, it is the best way to start your day.
8. A trip to Bora Bora. Normally I am more a fan of visiting urban locales with tons of bars, museums, and shopping but these pictures of Bora Bora have convinced me it's on my must go to list.

What's on your fantasy list?

A Steal!

So I'm looking at this awesome want list on Moodboard one afternoon and I fall helplessly in love with these Anat Chelsea boots. Visions of tight pencil skirts and textured tights dance through my head, but alas, while $320 isn't totally out of my price range, it's a bit more than I wanted to spend on a boot with a heel that high that I definitely cannot pull off at work. I'm considering my options when I stumble upon this 6x6 boot over on urban...for only $98!

I love those moments, don't you?!

I heart Etsy

Is it possible to quantity the amount of awesomeness that is, Etsy? I could spend literally hours just trolling the different shops. There is literally a lack of space in my home for all the awesome finds. I pretty much find the best way to scout out the new shops is just to follow the links from the blogs and then mark the stores down as my favorite. So, here are just a few of mine....


DNTX's Weekender Bag, Berkeley Illustration's Cheetah print, Bestillshop's Chinese Toile de Jouy pillow cushion, 13 Bee's a star is born dress, Bittersugar's N is Narwhal, (click on the pictures for links)

What are yours?
