Lust or Must: Color-block tote

April 22, 2013 By in Fashion inspiration, Lust or Must, oooh I want... 1 Comment

Camel + coral is a favorite color combination of mine.  I have a great tote from C.Wonder in this combination but it isn’t available anymore.  I was trying to recommend it to a friend but was totally bummed when I couldn’t find it anymore!

Luckily I found two very similar options, though at vastly different prices.  Perfect with white jeans and a chambray top, if you can’t quite justify the Celine option, go for the one by Gap!

Refusing to let go of the holidays

Don’t judge me…

Although, I am doing three things that are judgement worthy:

1.) I just bought myself a present. Yes, I did just get a ton of gifts on Christmas. And yes, my birthday is literally days away. But, I was having a tiny case of the “Holiday Sads” and then saw a tweet from @fashionsmaven about the new Urban Decay Naked2 Palette being available on Sephora.com and I immediately caved and bought it. I even splurged for speedier shipping, so the minute it comes, I will swatch it all and share with you. As a little preview…

so excited - head to Sephora.com to buy it RIGHT NOW!

2.) I am totally sipping spiked Peppermint Hot Chocolate. I am using the term “spiked” loosely as Baileys barely counts as alcohol (especially the splash I add), but it IS Tuesday, which makes this feel pretty rebellious!

3.) Finally, I am actually watching one of the Kardashian shows. I don’t really know the title (it is the one in NYC). Actually, changed my mind, you may absolutely judge me for this!

Oh J.Crew. My old standard through college. I still love you, you let me indulge my inner “Blair Waldorf”.

Oooh I want… Tory Burch earrings

Tory Burch Earrings

Right now, I cannot justify a pair of Reva flats (just bought a condo in San Francisco, which is why I have been so MIA… yikes and sorry.) but these earrings seems like an excellent way to get my TB fix without forfeiting the bazillion gallons of paint we will need to make the condo “ours”.

Oooh I want… Ann Taylor Vintage Trench

I’ll be honest, I have always coveted a classic Burberry Trench. They have always just been outside my reach financially. My brother has owned a few and I wish I could steal them.

This Ann Taylor option is gorgeous. I love the classic cut and the buttery color. And most of all… the price!

And… I kind of want her haircut!

Fragrance Review: J’adore Dior

How did I go so long before smelling this perfume? I feel like I actively avoided it. From the marketing I thought it would be something totally different than it is.

This is a floral, but (at least on me) not an annoying one. It smells fresh and clean somehow. Soft, but not powdery. Sort of like I used a really awesome soap and just took a shower. It just smells… nice.

I tried a sample of this, but I feel like it will be my next fragrance purchase. I really like it.

oooh I want… bezel-set tennis bracelet

September 21, 2011 By in Fashion inspiration, oooh I want... Tags: , , , Leave a comment

I looooove big watches. I bought my first Michael Kors watch YEARS ago. Before big watches were cool. It seemed so huge at the time (everyone thought I had accidentally purchased a man’s watch) but now it seems a little puny.

That’s okay, I still love it.

I struggle with NOT wearing it when I am going somewhere slightly nicer. Not black-tie, but maybe cocktail. I like to know what time it is! Recently, I have been seeing people stack a tennis bracelet with a bigger watch, and it seems like such a chic look to me. Not just for a night out, but for everyday too! Especially if they are both slightly loose on the wrist.

Since I already have the watch, I had to find the bracelet! And I think I found a good one!

$140 from Swarovski

As you can see from this close-up, it is bezel-set, which I LOVE
