happy weekend!

... and more for my wish list.

Adding this watch and this purse to my Spring wish list was a very easy decision, as I cannot get either out of my head at the moment.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I'll be trying extra hard to make mine linger since it's our last one in Florida for a while.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY! xx

Essentials

As the cooler weather approaches New York, I am thriving on wearing thin layers, booties and fresh makeup to welcome the change. It also has me thinking of fall essentials I already own, and ones that I need.

Total Stud

If you are anything like me, you've already dedicated too much time dreaming of cool weather fashion. It's my favorite season and I get a surge of excitement with each new trend I see emerging.
The use of studs as an embellishment to accessories, is such an easy way to add some shine and texture to any outfit.

2. Mulberry Studded Bootie
3. Jeweled and Studded mini skirt
4. Sarah Berman studded suede clutch

Second skin

There is something so romantic about a biege silk camisole, nude platform pumps and blush polished nails.
It's one of my favorite colors because it always feels stylish and timeless.
As I prepare for my ideal autumn "look", I wouldn't mind taking some of these ultra chic, skin-toned pieces into my possession.





1. The oversized Alexa by Mulberry
2. ASOS Rose Gold Watch
3. Nude Retro shades
4. Jean Yu chiffon triangle bra and brief
5. Essie Intimate nude nail

7. Miss Selfridge Nude embellished crop top
8. Badgley Mischka Eavan Nude satin pump
9. Nude Lurex scarf

Jelly

I haven't worn jellies since I was in the 6th grade. They were my favorite shoes, simply because they were bright colors and could be worn in the water or to school.
I have not thought much about jellies since then, until I saw this photo of Carrie Underwood wearing these perfectly sparkled clear plastic jellies by Melissa Shoes.
What I love most about the clear sparkle is that your foot and nail polish show through the open plastic weave.
They are impossible to find in clear, but believe me, I do not give up that easily.

For the Fall

This is only the beginning of my fall wish list. I usually wait till mid August to allow myself to dive head first into fall fashion, but there are still some things from last fall I never got my hands on (see DV eve boot.)
There will be plenty more to come from the endless list of things I need (want.)







1. Topshop nude oversized sunglasses
2. Sapphire ring
3. Grey nails
4. J Brand Jeggings
5. The perfect boyfriend cardigan
6. Orange Pashmina
7. Dolce Vita Eve boot in Sand {can't find these anywhere!!}
8. Tall leather gloves
9. Perfectly rimmed eye lids {see Katharine Ross from The Graduate}

Touch of lace

With shoes like these, I don't know what more I would need.
I adore the mix of zippers and antique rose lace. They are perfect.

Swoon of the Day

Perfection.

If Only...

Judith Leiber handbags are certainly a novelty in fashion and there's just something about them that makes me wish I could collect them all. The dolphin is my favorite, but each an every one has it's own irresistible charm. A girl can dream...
